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.


The Jack Trengove is BACK Thread

If Tyson is out this week as well, I'd have thought this is as good a chance as any to try Trengove out.

He's either going to play through the middle as an inside mid or he's going to play Vince/Lewis' role off half-back whilst they are put into the middle.

I wonder if the selectors are a bit chastened after the White selection last week?  In comparison selecting Trengove is much lower risk.

I doubt it. I think we now know that the JKH/Kennedy/Kent saga caused the FD to have to make something up on the run to cover for Garlett, and they tried using Hunt in that role and replacing him with White.

Failed, but probably wouldn't have happened if those others were available.

A club should never put a line through a player as they can sometimes surprise you with their development. Having said that it does feel like that is happening to Jack. It's gone from me being disappointed about the situation to a lower level of anger towards the club. CAN THE CLUB PLS EXPLAIN WHAT HIS AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT ARE!!! Plapp talks about the development of others at VFL but less so JT. If it's speed then say so !!!! I've had enough of it - members are entitled to know what he needs to improve on

No, only JT needs to be told what he needs to improve on.  Members are less 'entitled' than they think they are....

Yes to some extent l agree but we get nothing other than vanilla reports from Plapp e.g. JT is professional, JT is showing leadership blah blah blah. Just want an understanding areas of improvement its not that big a deal. If l was asking about the color of his jocks or his personal life then l would agree with you

Tyson confirmed out and Trengove named in the Interchange. With Viney and Tyson out I'd say JKH and Trengove in, with Kent or Kennedy in for Bugg. Hogan in for  White.

You'll need to squeeze one more out to get Trengove in.

OUT Bugg Viney Tyson White Wagner??

IN Hogan Garlett Trengove JKH Kent

With Viney, Tyson and Jones out our only 'slow mid' is Lewis...maybe that's why Trengove fits in the squad?

Does anyone else think Jack's portrait in the 'ins' list looks especially happy.

I got a real glow in the heart, and instantly feel like we're going to win on sunday. It's like the world just turned a little more red and blue.

Is there a market where you can bet on trengove getting named in the best

Yeah, the Stupormarket. Stupor being 'the lack of critical mental function' or a 'condition of greatly dulled or completely suspended sensibility'. Sorry Daisy - but please don't throw away your money to those blood-sucking bookies based on some sort of sentimentality. I'll send the club a cheque for $50 on your behalf if Trenners gets even close.

I only ever bet for sentimentality or pride, betting for profit is by far more dangerous... but I take your point cheers

I thought it was poor form to take Jack to Perth on the bench in the pre season game vs Eagles and then not give him a run. If ever the club wanted to assess him at something close to AFL level that was the game - really not much at stake.   It amazes me how he keeps his chin up sometimes.  All credit to him.

Last year the club kept nominating Grimes in the squad but rarely got a game.  It became embarrassing.

Hope the same doesn't happen to Trengove - he deserves better, I wish the club would play him or not nominate him in the squad.

Officially ruled out by Goodwin (quoted on twitter by the club). Said he has things to work on.. Those things namely being requesting a trade to a club that might give him a game, not just rub up against him while the club has its period.

Agreed Lucifer.  Very disheartening for Jack. One can only imagine how discouraged he must be feeling and what it must be doing to his psyche and confidence levels. It does seem similar to the Grimes situation.  Coaches and selectors have to make tough decisions but it seems harsh. There are no rumours about Jack's attitude to it all, so it either says a lot about the man or the nature of the interpersonal relationship between coach and player.

Goodwin: Jack Trengove will leave no stone unturned in his quest to come back.

Goodwin: Jack Trengove won't play on Sunday, although he's getting close. We know what he brings. We want to see some things at VFL level.

Poor bugger...

I'm sick of seeing White Wagner JKH etc getting games b4 Jack he might be slow but he has a bigger skill set than most on the list. Goodwin obviously doesn't like him. I reckon if Sam Mitchell can play AFL then Jack can & should 2.

what are those things???????

Exactly. It's the same line wheeled out every time.  We don't even have a general idea what they want him to work on.  Is it attack, defence, disposal, decision making..?

Let's hope they are being a tad more specific with their feedback to Jack.

    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.
