Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Who does Dunn have to root to get a game?

Would really like some transparency from the MFC as to why they make certain selections, atleast then we wouldn't have to speculate about the conspiracy that we are buffing the Zebra's with players to help qualify for finals and win another VFL premiership. Still can't understand why dunn struggles to get a game and how PJ is running around for Sandringham at the moment. :rolleyes:

Dunn is already qualified so there goes that theory.

If you actually looked at his game for Sandy last week you would be far from impressed.

I agree Dunn was ordinary last week but his MFC form was fairly good before being dropped.

Was it any worse than the tripe served up by most the MFC players last week against Port?

Ferguson, Brown, Ward will get the chop

They will play Bode. NO point elevating him otherwise.

They will definately not cut any shining youngsters like Newton, Buckley or Frawley.

Wish Dunn would get a game somehow, playing him up forward. I like him as a 3rd tall up forward. Maybe take Robbo off for the year to get him right, Dunn move into a similar role.

i reckon you might be wrong. i reckon Jamar, Buckley, Bode and Ward will get the chop from the bench named.

i think you have hit the nail on the head about why dunn isnt getting a game.

with neitz, robbo, newton, bate all playing forward dunn would be the 5th tall forward in the side, and thats not gonna happen. he is better being left at sandy where he can try and dominate (which is obviously isnt doing) and apply what he has learnt at AFL level. with miller, holland, carrol, ferguson and frawley in the side as tall backs we are looking pretty top heavy already. add jamar as a possible backup ruckman, there isnt relaly a spot for dunn...

imo he needs to take robbos spot...

I don't understand why anyone would question Buckley.

They love him. They think he is going to be great. Riley thinks he is amazing. The reason he only got named after Neale left.

Riley really rates Bucks and has spoke in the media about how important Buckley and Newton are to the end of 2007, developing two terrific kids for next year. He will not miss another game.

I have no idea why Ferguson's still in the 18. Boggles the mind.

I can understand with Miller, Jamar cause if they play well, ppl may be swayed to keep them or have trade value.

Ferguson's got no trade value whats so ever. At 25, his got the same strength as a 17 y.o solid built KPP. Not too many 17 y.o to match up on every week.

I reckon from the named team Bode will not play and there will be a couple of late withdrawals due to injury; Robbo and Frawley looked a bit proppy last week and i am not sure whether they will play. This will leave Jamar to come in and Ferg, Bucks, Ward and the rest to retain their spot.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
