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.


Changes v Collingwood


picket fence

Recommended Posts

Players will be dropped  in relation to our opponent - Collingwood, who are dominated by a whole pack of B grade midfielders.

I would love Peders in for Frost, but we need Frost's height and speed as a DEFENDER to counter Moore so this change is unlikely.

Garlett comes in for sure but I can only think of Bugg to be dropped and they play so differently it is not a good swap.

Bernie will go for a few weeks, so Brayshaw comes back in.

AVB has been seriously disappointing so far this season. 

I still think we brought him back in to the seniors too soon.  I think he needed a few weeks at Casey to get rid of the cobwebs after his injury but he wasn't given the chance.  Plus it seemed as though he was going to spend plenty of time in the midfield, yet he has been stuck up forward for the majority of it.

Ok thankyou. So who played on Waite/Brown/Petrie? And how did Stretch and Wagner play? Either of them to be dropped?

They rotated on them.  Dunn and McDonald spent most of the time on them, while I believe Lumumba spent some time on Brown as well.  I'm not totally sure on that though, others at the game might be able to give more insight.

Stretch was handy, Wagner was just okay.  Both should keep their spots for next week.

Vince will get 1, maybe 2 depending on how inconsistent the MRP want to be. 

IN - Brayshaw, Garlett

Out - Vince, Stretch (didn't do anything wrong as such, just reckon we need to give AVB more time). 

The other thing is - I don't want to see Frost play as a forward ever again. The experiment surely needs to be marked a fail at this point. Maybe bring Pedo in, and move Frost back.

I also don't want to see Howe play a flukey cameo and rub it in that he left, the pea heart. Presumably Lumumba gets the match up or maybe Wagner, - wouldn't be shocked if the brought Garland back to play on him (not saying i want that to happen, before all the hate is directed my way.

If Howe gets another game after the (lack of) effort he put in on Saturday then Collingwood are in big trouble. He was a ghost.

They won't drop him after one game especially when he is coming against his old club.

I think we've seen the last of Garland.  Hallelujah! 

Also think Jeffy is a definite in,  whilst one of ANB and Brayshaw gets a run. 

Maybe in: Jeffy,  Brayshaw 

Out: Vince,  Stretch

I don't think they'll drop him either due to the circumstances, but that's because they are in big trouble. His effort was pathetic and he'd be dropped in any other team any other week.

Frost, M Jones, Harmes, Kent. will be in the gun.

 

we won't see Petracca or Trenners, ANB, Brayshaw, Garlett and Pedders should come in. I doubt weeds would come in either.

No room for Pederson IMO. Harmes had five tackles and wouldn't be first out for me. Kent did kick four. For my money two changes is enough for a team that could have just as easily taken the points.

Garlett in for Wagner.

Someone in for Frost.

Regardless of todays outcome, given Casey Form last night I have both Weeds and Petracca in next week vs Collywobles!

The rest I will think about after todays game!

Looking at reports from those who actually attended the Casey game, I don't think anyone said the Weed was ready for a game yet, but you obviously know better.

    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
