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.

Dees best - 2015 team 22

Still a gun midfielder or two short of being a really good team. Hopefully, we make some serious plays come trade/free agency season.

yep just thought I'd throw a reminder out there that not all is lost, at this point. so no point in pressing the self-destruct button.

we are on the way, but there are a lot of holes in our list, & we are thin on throughout the 23 Yrs to 26 Yrs age bracket, at this point.

I'd like to see others best 22 from those who have taken the field for us in 2015, in either a Casey or Demons jumper.

Hard to take serious any "best 22 when in form" without including Watts in the team or even in the 14 depth players mentioned...

Also i don't think Grimes is best 22 anymore.

well, put yours up deanox if you think that way. it doesn't have to be complete if you can't find enough talent.

Fair call. I thought you did pretty well except for what I mentioned but here is my best 22 on talent/when in form:

Fbacks: Jetta, TMac, Garland

Hbacks: Salem, Dunn, Lamumba

Centr's: Vince, Jones, Watts

Hf'rwds: Brayshaw, Dawes, Kent

Ff'rwds: Garlett, Hogan, Pedersen

Follwrs: Jamar, Tyson, Viney

Intchge: Cross, JKH, VandenBerg, Howe

Established depth: Frost, Newton

Known quantity depth (i.e. may be moved on): Grimes, Trengove, Michie, McKenzie, Riley, Spencer, Fitzpatrick, Bail, MJones, Terlich.

Developing potential depth: Petracca, Hunt, Toumpas, Stretch, Gawn, OMac, ANB, Harmes, King, White

The problem is we really don't have much established depth. Players we are happy to take a spot in the 22. Most of the South is the clearly not up to it basket or very under developed kids.

Overall I'm not unhappy with that 22. We need more quality mids and a better ruck, but at least the 22 players in this list are of afl standard.

Not a bad team Clint. What are the chances of this team happening sometime in the near future? Not a remote possibility knowing our injury count year in year out.But here's hoping it could be a reality. Queen's Birthday V C/wood would be ideal.

Had my doubts about Frost, but should he fill his potential he's very important as Garland and Dunn are undersized to play on most second talls. Pretty spot on team here as it doesn't look like we're gonna play two ruckmen much

Going into 2016:

FB: Jetta T. McDonald Dunn

HB: Lumumba Frost Salem

C: Vince Viney vandenBerg

HF: Kent Pedersen Watts

FF: Garlett Hogan JKH

Foll: Gawn N. Jones Tyson

Int: Petracca Brayshaw Toumpas Neal-Bullen

Emergency: Dawes, (midfielder recruited over the off-season), Garland

Depth: Stretch, Howe, King, Newton, Harmes, Trengove

With reservations:

1) I have dropped Cross as I see Petracca the future next year.

2) Also Gawn for Jamar for the same reason but hopefully we recruit another ruckman over the off-season.

3) Maybe we may gain another kpf and Pederson (first) and then Dawes become depth.

4) Also King is kicking goals in the Development League (6) which may translate to VFL and/or AFL after another preseason.

5) I haven't lost faith in Toumpas unlike some as having more potential x-factor than Newton

I wouldn't have him in my best 36.

Based on form, he plays 4 serviceable games per year.

That's 1 in 6. That doesn't read like any form I've heard of.

Surely Garland is ahead of Grimes as an emergency? Or even good enough for a spot on the bench!

Dangerfield & Leunberger as free agents at years end would make that 22 look a lot better. Maybe add Gorringe through a trade also and throw in Hardingham as a late draft pick assuming he avoids a drug ban and we trade out Howe & Watts.

Added in Garland at the expense of Howe who is playing like Frawley did last year but with his talent should be a top 10 player.

A swap of positions for Frost / TMac and your on to something. Note Trenners still an unknown. Looks to have the makings of an accountable team.

    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
