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.

I can't believe Kent can't get a game and they are continue playing Toumpas! I like Toumpas and think he is gonna be a ripper player for us but what ever happened to giving the in form player a game as a reward?

I can understand keeping him in the team against GWS. If we were playing someone else I would definitely like him to be dropped, but in this case I think his selection is warranted.

I reckon the MFC interchange may be Rohan Bail, Matt Jones, Michael Evans & Cam Pederson. unless Jamar pulls up sore.

Hopefully Tynan and Taggert will get a chance to show us just what folk who follow them are excited about: most of us have had about zero opportunity to make a call.

I hope there isn't the same situation as with jack Watts last week, if Toumpas isn't going to play for the 1st's i really hope he gets a run here, he might be able to get some good form happening and show the supporters how good he is going to be, building confidence at the same time

Kent has been told to work on going the other way, ie defensively, he needs to show this, once he does consistently he will get a game at AFL level, you ask for the players to be developed properly, this is it

I cannot for the life of me see how this level of performance is keeping Kent from getting a go (yes Toumpas was Sub last week):

http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-melbourne-demons--jimmy-toumpas

I can only presume that it's a 'selection upon draft order' thing. Cretinous stuff, but I guess we're used to it.

No, I questioned as well, but it seems that they want players when they come in to be able to conistently play the 4 qtrs, yes agree we haven't got many doing that at present anyway, but I think also Kent was told he wasn't playing both ways, again he is not on Pat Malone, I think the Footy Dept really likes him, but once he is in, they want him to stay in......I think they are looking for 22 who can stay together and be consistent, nowhere near that yet........I am going to Windy Hill to get a first hand look at him playing at VFL level, haven't managed yet except for praccy game

Rory Taggert did not play in this game. I reckon we can safely assume he'll be in the Casey one's tomorrow.

Neelds tactics are really starting to [censored] me off. Why not give Toumpas are run for 2 games at Casey?

I can't figure Neeld out

It might be time for a rest. If we include preseason games, the season is already seven weeks long. Add that to a few months of preseason training and that's a lot of senior football for a teenager.

Give him a rest, bring him back in the twos and then, pending form, give him a run in the ones.

I agree, Neeld did say at the start of the season that Viney and Toumpas would be taken slow and that he was not expecting big things from them. If that means giving viney a rest ever month (4 games) then thats fine with me. Lets try and build these players for the future - maybe that was the problem with Trengove and Scully. We were working them so hard that they couldn't improve (like when you study for so long without a break that you are no longer learning anything)

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
