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.

Reason why Georgiou is on the extended bench, looks like there is an issue with Tommy Mc, he had a compression bandage on his calf and did very little training, before heading back indoors, Chip also did work with the defence....so Roos looking at options.

Interestingly Riley, Salem, Barry and Terlich did a lot of work with the forwards, maybe for 'whoever' was watching, (I am sure oppositions are only interested in the midfield these days anyway, unless there is a gun halfback to look after), I lost Nicholson in this drill, but he was out there

I asked Paul Roos about Barry getting a game and he said maybe, asked Dom Barry himself, he hasn't been told anything, there was no announcement at training, so maybe just a bit of encouragement this time and he will be an emergency

I asked Nev Jetta about that first goal against Norths (as requested), the team rule if the ball is in that situation (ie in the pocket, inside the 50) is to get it over the line and out of bounds, this rule was not followed, then it was turned over and the defensive structure was not set, as they had been expecting to set up for a boundary throw in, this sounds slow in writing but in real time it all transpired in about 5 or 10 seconds, Roos wants them to be proactive rather than reactive but unfortunately if somebody doesn't follow the rules, it throws a spanner in, hence why after the first few goals, team went reactive not wanting to stuff up

The team received 2 sprays, a decent one at 3/4 time and the other I would assume at the review, Roos was 'bitterly disappointed' (my words) with the failure to follow team rules and structures

An interesting little highlight, in one drill Max Gawn was matched up on Ben Mathews, and he proceeded to knock him over, much to other players amusement, but in the next play, Mathews beat Gawn cold with movement and took an uncontested mark, gave Max a look as if to say "you have a lot to learn"......he spoilt it a bit by producing a horrible kick

Jesse Hogan was out early, still lap running, and some Casey players and MFC listed players for Casey this weekend, except the extended bench, trained before main group and finished about 10

Any questions feel free.

Heartening to know we have some very good teachers at the club :)

Sounds like Georgiou and Chip defending as you say. Not a bad combo

Hi Saty,

Great report again !What's your gut feel on inclusions ?

Also I am interested to know the body language of some of the players stuck at Casey. I would think that a number of players would start to feel that their cards have been stamped ( rightly so in some instances) and that the 2nd half of the year could be a grind.

Gut feeling is for once I have no idea, the Tommy Mc situation is a bit of a spanner, last week only Terlich trained with the main group and the rest trained with Casey, this week all of the extended bench trained with main group, perhaps Roos actually hasn't made his mind up yet, when I asked him about Barry, he did think for a second or two before saying 'maybe' so it wasn't a glib reply

The Casey group I only saw at the end, they were still all pretty upbeat, I would assume they will still have to perform under the Roos' regime, I am sure none of them would like the ignominy of Development league, I asked a couple of the 'helpers', it was a good solid session they did

With that report, if McDonald isn't right I would like to see Gawn come in Frawley sent back. Leave Pedo as permanent forward, in doors roof closed Dawes, Pedo and Gawn can work

Would like that. Dawes and Pedersen with Jamar/Gawn interchanging deep.

That combo worked well v Richmond n Bullies don't have a big KPB without Roughead.

Frawley isn't a overhead mark so Gawn is a great option.

It would be remiss of me to ask about Jesse Hogan? On another thread there was a topic of a contract extension any news on that front?

The only news is that he looks like he is doing everything asked of him by the fitness staff, has longs chats with them in between running the boundary, think he finished earlier today because last week think he [censored] himself off watching the team train

Am I the only one that couldn't give a toss about Lynch? He was heavily involved in the $cully situation, and was just as crooked in the whole situation.

Lynch can gof huck himself for all I care.

Other than that, thanks for the report.

The Demon Army present had Roos' birthday covered, seems Roos' answer to me was pretty straight, was going to make Barry emergency but had to check on Tommy Mc first, there is a whole new regime there now, you ask a question, you get an answer, don't think they really care about any ramifications, the Welsh tirade and Allison's reviews being examples..

Did the former PM call him a misogynist ??

I forgot there was an interested spectator at training, just looked like a jogger heading back from the tan, took me a second or two to realise it was Alistair Lynch, he still looks in great shape, had a good chat to Roos, Rawiings and Mathews before training started

Who does Lynch manage these days? Any chance he has Shiel on the books?

    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
