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.

Chris Lamb was (I thought) a very solid defender when he was playing with us in the AFL. I'm not sure how he left the club or why, but he seems to now be an integral part of Sandringham's line up. Is it not possible to re-draft him next year as a possible solution to our problems in defence?

Strange story.

Was garbage for us before and after 2002. However when Jack Nicholson did his knee in mid 2002, Lamb came into the side in round 12 in his 6th career game and performed solidly.

Played 3 games in 2003 and was never seen again in the red and blue.

Me thinks the ship has sailed on that one :wacko:

Great idea ! Another slow reckless defender with poor decision making skills. Just what we need.

If only we had have had a good reason for delisting him in the first place. :D

Kept out of the side most of his career by Nicholson, says it all.

However Nicholson was the greatest player ever drafted at pick 22...

And remains as the only AFL player to have played over 90 games and never to have reached double-figures in either kicks or handballs.

How about we play the Kid that we drafted with our first pick in 2006 who then was a KPP defender and drafted for that purpose. He will get beaten some times and will have some wins but if you don't start playing him at FB how will he get the experience. Frawley needs to start playing on the big forwards stop protecting him, look at Brown from Collingwood taken afer him in the draft and did well against one of the best forwards time to back him lets see if he can play.

Sadly the kid isn't a true KPP, he's more of a rebounding flanker and Nathan Brown highlights how crap our KP drafting has been over the last 10 years.

What i remember of Lamb? is- laughing out loud.... have not seen him since he has played for the dees though

l saw him at Southland the other day, looks pretty fit. ND stitched him up, stuffed him around with what he wanted him to do. ND wouldn't let him just be a natural footballer, wanted him to lose weight, play differently, pucked around with natural abilities as a player.

If he is a flanker trade him, Darren Glass is only 192cm, Tom Harley 192cm, Scarlet 192cm James Frawley 193cm he is no flanker he has to be a FB because he is not good enough for a flanker.

the solution to the backline is just persist with what we've got, theres some good players who are not playing at the minute, Rivers, Whelan etc and put Frawley in and leave him there.

You want height try Martin.

You want speed try Frawley.

We can't keep doing what we're doing though obviously.

I'd rather Martin or Frawley get FB with Rivers in the team, the difference for them with or without him would be huge.

Carroll can stay, but on a smaller forward.

He had a huge climb on someone shoulders against the Bullies in 2003 IIRC and fell square on his head from about 2 metres up.

Just about sums him up.

FFS, height alone does not dictate whether a player is capable of playign a key position, look at Kepler Bradley and Dermot Brereton.

Who kept him out?

Why did Ratten leave?

What happened to Thompson?

Why did schwartz leave so early?

    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
