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.

hmm where is our first 3 picks in particular Cale Morton?

I know grimes is injured and Maric probably school commitments but yeah Morton? Anyone?

I noticed a theme/ quality for all of the new guys included - They can probably all handle themselves better "physically"

The last thing you want is one of our talented draft picks to get broken like a twig, and both Morton and Maric are both 17 year olds (with Grimes not 100% yet)

Im really excited about Martin as a prospect for a key defender for us and i haven't even seen him play yet so im just judging by what i have read and his measurements and background so i could be just getting excited about nothing but i dont care...:) FOoty is back and im so pumped ....been way to long!

Demonscoast...possibly another way of looking at those exclusions is that we sort of know what they can do. Heres a chances for some newbies to step up and display their wares.

damn shame its in bloody Geelong.. ah well.. crank the telly...:)

Totally agree with you....super excited to get a look at these guys! :D ....Just so long as we don't get pumped

The exclusions are somewhat of a suprise though, cause I haven't heard any talk of them having injuries/ soreness?

Let it rip Demons!

I am so excited to see Valenti and Meesen. Valenti was a standout for Sandy last year and i recken he could play as an inside midfielder (as brock is injured) along side Jonesy. He would win alot of the ball.

IMO we will probably play White and Meesenas our two ruckman. Jamar has shown us nothing over the last few years and is lucky to be on our list so i think Meesen will get the nod ahead of him. I am not too sure what to expect from the other debutants as i have never seen them play.

GO DEES!!!

Geelong have got a couple of midfielders out like us, but I think the game will be won in Geelong's foward line with Mooney, Hawkins and Steve Johnson running riot.

I'm scared. I counted 10 players key position players or players who play tall, plus 4 ruckmen. We are seriously light on for quality midfielders.

When you look at it like that - it's going to be a huge challenge....

I'm trying to find something positive to say, and I can't find anything sensible:

We'll catch them napping?

" do it on pure heart?

We had two more weeks training than them?

Kate Ceberano will address/ undress the guy's in the change rooms pre-match and inspire us to victory?

Robbo will mesmerize his opponent with his vocal ability and kick us to victory?

Dean Bailey is actually the Messiah, and has come down to earth to help rid the Melbournefc of bad Karma, starting Saturday?

We've trained for the interchange rule throughout the whole pre-season because DB is psychic?

Anyone got a good reason why we can win?

Anyone like to have a go at the team:

My version:

B Warnock Holland Bode

HB Bell Miller Green

C Buckley Valenti Davey

HF Sylvia Newton Bate

F Aussie Robbo Yze

FOLL White McDonald Jones

Int Frawley Jamar P Johnson Garland

Cheney Meeson Martin Weetra

McNamara and Zomer to miss the cut.

I just spoke with Dean Bailey and I've advised him to run the following on Saturday:

Frawley to rotate with Warnock deep in defence

Meeson to get more ruck-time than White, even though we're starting him on the bench.

Jamar to get 15 minutes in the ruck

PJ to help out in defence or attack (if we have no targets up fwd)

Garland to help out in defence

Cheney to release Green into the midfield

Martin to rotate with Miller

Weetra to swap with Aussie.

Sylvia, Bate and possibly Bell and Bode will have to help out in the midfield as we are seriously light on.

You're not far off the mark BBP. I'd have Frawley in the back pocket and Warnock on the bench. If you look at the interchange, where's our midfield rotation come from? We are way too top heavy.

Yes, and it again highlights the backline conundrum when Rivers is not in the mix.

Some things I'd like to see

Chapman V Cheney...big challenge but a great litmus test, two hard nuts

Hawkins V Zomer / Martin...all raw, all big

Mooney V whoever...DB's response to this challenge will be fascinating to see.

Roll on Saturday

    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
