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.

Melbourne FC Under 23 All Stars!!!

yes, cos natnaui is a freak.

If we had them both, I would have Warnock as number 1 ruck and Natanui as an Adam Goodes type player that can back up Warnock.

Nat's skill would have to improve of course but good call.

Exciting times ahead. Neitz, Holland and Yze at the least will retire, freeing up I would argue 1.2-1.5 million dollars depending on how their contracts are structured. Warnock would be great in the PSD but we have the money to sign an awesome out of contract player.

We will hav picks 1, 17 and 18

Green looks like he is going to have a great season. Trade him for an early second round pick. Alternatively, trade him and pick 18 for say pick from 6-12.

Bruce will have no value at the end of th year. Maybe late second round or early third round. No team is interested howwever in blokes that age.

Trade Robbo for a 3rd pick, but then again see ablove with Bruce.

No one else in this team that is dispensible is tradeable.

So we will have:

Pick 1, 8, 17, 35, 51 and 67 PLUS Pick 1 in PSD for awesome player.

I'm gettin' the shakes!

So, let me get this clear - A player who is absoluetly committed to MFC, has five years or more left to go, just broke into our top 20 all-time goalkickers, looks like he could be our second 300 game player...

AND, on the presumption that he has a great season...

You put these thing together and think - 'Awesome, we could have pick 23 for that!'

You, frankly, disgust me. For stupidity as well as disloyalty.

Bleh.

Errrr............. maybe a bit of creative license.

Naitanui had 27 hitouts (out of 39) and 10 touches, while Warnock had 25 hitouts (out of 48) and 8 touches.

Given that Guy Richards (Swan Districts' other ruckman) was out of the team and the second highest hitout count was 6 (by Tony Notte, a rake thin 192cm key forward), I would assume that Naitanui rucked pretty much all day. Keunen for West Perth had 13 hitouts (which is standard for him) so I assume that Warnock shared the ruck duties.

DD,

Don't get me wrong, I love Greeny, it breaks my heart that he is tradeable but do you relaize the enormity of this situation? Do you realize what's going on? We've bottomed out, we're stuffed, hammered, gone, vanquished, out of it, a million other expletives. We have to start again from the bottom, moreso than hawthorn did in 2004. And it's going to take a long, LONG time..by which time Greeny will be 30...and then what?

I h to agree with MFC4Life. Sure it's harsh, but look where being the nice guys has gotten us. It's time the MFC toughened up. Besides getting as much quality youth into the side is imperative over the next 2 years, coz we are re-building and the new teams are going to screw up the draft for a few years.

Imperitive this must be done.

And for everyone getting all sentimental about Green, yes he could be a star, however he is being played out of position. We would get a first round draft pick for Green, as we did Johnstone.

These are the tough decisions that should have been made 2 years ago.

cant believe im replying, but for all those green knockers get stuffed.

he is the mainstay of the team and shows more heart than id say 15 or so others in the team. if you are looking for players to offload that might have value look no further than Daniel Bell and Colin Sylvia.

bell has played a few good games, one i recall on scott welsh, but gets caught with the ball oh so many times, his decision making and foot skills are very poor, and he's too small to play key position.

sylvia is one of the few blokes with terrific foot skills on our list. but i worry about his skills above his shoulders. to me he has T.Johnstone written all over him, threatens to become an elite player but we're still waiting.

Brad Green will be another good player that Melbourne hangs onto so he can get to 250 games and we say 'what a great career, didn't win a flag but hey, that's not important because Brad Green was a one-club player'.

Put him in the sale window and see if we can get something decent for him. Top 20 pick otherwise i'll cheer his remaining years with gusto.

:unsure: ? ? ? :blink:

Green is one of our few first class players, performing amongst our best each week.

He's about to become one of only a handful of experienced players on our list.

He can contribute to the forward line which clearly needs all the help it can get right now.

I just... I'm not sure what to say... the idea of trading Green for 'a high second round draft pick' who might never play a game... it's just so daft it confuses me.

    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

    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.

    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
