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.

Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium... great game. France full of individual brilliance but we played as the better team perhaps. We have avoided the opening round thrashing of the last two

Just not happening for us, again!

Spurs look seriously in danger of not being in the top flight next year the way they're playing...

Quite pathetic with the amount of money they've pumped out for players.

Spot on. They will really miss Berbatov and Keane, they're leading goal scorers last season...

Even though it's a shocker of a start to the season for Spurs...still a long way to go for them to go the only way they can go from at the moment...UP...

But the way the fickle press is in England, the mangers job will be wildly speculated in the media.....and with Keegan and Curbishley already gone this season...the presure is right on Ramos...

Spurs were touting themselves as a top 4 club this year.......for that to happen the proverbial finger needs to be plled out real quick...

GO GUNNERS....

I don't really see how we were pumping ourselves up. Isn't it funny how the same media which says we should be top 4 this year, are the first to turn and say you're rubbish after a bad start.

It seemed illogical to me that we would improve after last year, with such an odd transfer window and the loss of Keane and Berbatov and a host of average, yet pretty consistently played midfielders (and Paul Robinson).

Doubt that we'll go down, after all most big clubs can just spend big (cheat) in the January transfer window and win a few late games. *Cough* West Ham *Cough*

It makes me very pleased to see the Spurs struggling, although it angers me just as much how they always take points off my Blue boys! That 4-4 draw last year, despite being a fantastic sporting spectacle, put a bullet in our title chances.

Must say I've been enjoying the EPL more than the AFL, maybe that's what a succesful team does for you. However, I'd have one Melbourne premiership over 10 premier league titles!

Nice to see another Blue out there IBruce, i didnt know this thread existed over here. We've got some good banter going on over at Ology on the Barclays thread, that i'll replicate here where i can.

Cheers GG

Merseyside Derby tonight, should be massive!

Liverpool need to start kicking into top gear very soon, because Arsenal are looking the goods. Even their 12 years olds beat sides 6-0

Ronaldo should be retrospectively red carded for that

What's going on with Spurs? Can't watch tonight's game, but 66% possession and 13 strikes to 8, yet 2-0 down.

Guess that's what happens when you remove two top class strikers and don't replace them. Mind you, they're less potent than our current "strike-force" at the moment!

For once I actually do not think he dived that bad, just left a trailing leg as most do, but I flipped when I saw him point to the spot.

There was a worse dive last night by wigan I think.

The F.A. have to see things like that and issue a yellow or red card after the game, and if it's a yellow then they take that yellow into the next game (so they start the game on 1 yellow, get 1 more and your off)

So sick of diving, it's hard enouhg for teams like Bolton to get a point at Old Trafford let alone beat the scum without their players falling over blades of grass.

Rob Styles who reffed the game has not reffed a game that United have lost, Make of that what you will.

Yet his record against Bolton is horrible, add the two together and it spells disaster and our manager said something similar pre game when we found out who the ref was.

Swab him. :lol:

So, Man U have been dominated in each of the games he has reffed in. Just a coincidence.

LOL, and then came Sunderland

A bit quiet now 45? Your mob are truly a phenomenon.

In fairness, Hull appear to be the new Reading, and it was a stunning (in the goal-of-the-season-contender sense) free-kick that did Spurs in.

Meanwhile, Nando hauls us from the fire, and yet again Mancunians prove they do indeed hail from some disgusting void where an understanding of football is inconceivable, as Citeh fans go berko at the ref for showing a red card, even though it was clearly justified.

I'll be interested to see how long this flirt with the title race lasts; playing the Chavs at the Bridge in a few weeks will be telling.

Haha in my defence i did mention it in the West Ham thread, so pfft to you sir!

It really is just mind-boggling the things that Spurs do.

How can you move on Defoe, Keane and Berbatov in an 8 month stint, and not sign anyone in their place?

At least Hull are top 3! ......

Always have to laugh at Arsenal though

Good to see another Bolton fan on here.

Good win over the Hammers last night. Good to see us play some decent football. Matty Taylors strike was a cracker.

Up the Wanderers, ey Condemned.

    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
