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.

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.

Jetta Frost Dunn

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.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
