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.

Not that I'm a huge fan, but Zac Clarke could fill that need.

Otherwise I reckon we should draft Declan Keilty are give him a go.  Has a bit of talent.

I'm not a huge fan either.  We need quality, and Clarke, Vickery and others don't really do it for me.  Keilty looks alright, but can he ruck?  He's spent pretty much all of his time down back.  Again, I think he wouldn't be much of an upgrade on what we have.

If we want to push for finals we need quality, not plodders or 'hopefuls'.

I've been impressed with Keilty when he goes into the ruck.  He normally gives away a bit of height and weight, but you wouldn't know if given how well he competes.

If you go back through the clubs videos I'd recommend watching him in the VFL Round 2 match v The Filth at the Holden Center.  Was up against Mason Cox all day, and all things considered did a really good job.  Thought he competed well weekend gone against Longer, Holmes & Pierce also.

Agree.

He was one out against three for three quarters after Spencer went off

I thought he won or halved most of the ruck contests.

I hope that is just a throwaway line. One has kicked 154 goals at AFL level while the other has kicked 6.

He is capable of playing some good football and if he didn't cost too much (financially) I wouldn't be against it.

The first part, yes. The second I'm not so sure of LG. I think Jake is limited beyond ruck duties. Having said that I'd like to see him now get a number of senior games to look at how the two rucks combine.

Fair enough. Spencer is no forward. It was a throwaway line, indeed. 

I think I was riley to excess by just how much Iy dislike the idea of Vickery on the field for us. It is possible that I'd take a 'no forward' over Vickery.

Given that we are looking fine for key forwards long term, with some promising kids coming along and Hogan & Watts working together happily, why would be buy in a guy who can't manage 10 disposals a game, is spectacularly bad at working up the ground, spends all day waiting for someone to kick it to him, is not especially accurate at goal, and who most definitely cannot ruck?

I was listening to the pre game on sen Collingwood/ WCE and the of asked Scott Lucas Vickerys manager about the MFC'S interest in him and weather we had spoken to him and Lucas was awfully quiet and didn't seem to answer the question properly either will wait and see I guess??

I mentioned that The Geelong game was a milestone because GAWN arrived in dominant fashion. But someone interjected that GAWN + SPENCER played together for that day and it was also the last time. If Vickery is off the cards then how about we [censored] play Spencer

8 disposals yesterday. The tenth time this season he has failed to reach double-figures. It is also his average.

As for those thinking he could ruck-support for us, he had 5 hitouts too. Which is double his average. He's had 10+ hitouts 4 times in three years.

Since the round 9 move to support Gawn, Jack Watts has had more hitouts than Vickery. (As well as more goals, double the disposals and almost double the marks)

Vickery is not effective ruck relief.

Vickery is limited as a forward.

Vickery offers little else.

Please, stop this, it is upsetting me. :unsure:

Vickery is the type of player we need but he is not the player to fill that need.

 

Haven't Geelong got heap of rucks/forwards on their list struggling to get a game, and no im talking about that [censored] that used to be on our list

Oh wow, first Vick and now him....I'm glad you're not talking him. What a nightmare that turned out to be...

I watched him for a while yesterday and he was spectating and not participating, he just watched the game and didn't at any time try to get involved or influence the game.

I would be livid if we picked him, he's a total dud.

The OX just said (again) on SEN we should target Vickery. He needs a change of culture which we could provide.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
