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.

JLT Round 4, Thursday 9th March - West Coast at Subiaco

We're one goal down. I just assumed we were 80 points down by some of the posts.

I like Smith and think he should play this year. But if he isnt ready Garland seems the logical one to play, he is there to be a backup so if Hibbard is out why not use him? I dont like Harmes in the

Ruled out for this week. Hopefully he'll get up for round 1.

From the information given in that article it seems as though it's more a precaution than anything serious.  As you say, hopefully he'll be right for Round 1.

Spot on.

Our two back-6 left footers in Hibberd / Wagner are racing against it for Round1 - in particular, Wagner.

You'd think Hibberd should be ok according to what's been reported. 

Not long till we find out.

so hibberd, jkh and vdb are definite outs, and you'd think viney might miss out too if his hand injury is any concern at all.

B: Jetta - T McDonald - Smith
HB: Hunt - O McDonald - Melksham
C: Salem - Jones - Vince
HF: Petracca - Hogan - Brayshaw
F: Watts - Weideman - Kent
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Lewis
I/c: Tyson - Stretch - Neal-Bullen - Bugg - Spencer - Harmes

would be nice to see what trengove has to offer, and i can't understand how frost has dropped out of all considerations (or so it would seem)

You can add Sam Frost as well, considering he played the majority of games last year.

We are going in with a pretty strong side, although we are still missing 5-6 of what I would consider our best side.  I'm very interested, and a little nervous, to see how we go on Thursday night.

And is this the final squad, or do two players get left out before the game?

MFC tweet.  Hibberd will also miss due to achilles soreness.  Achilles soreness always worries me.  Hope it is just precautionary. 

I had achilles soreness once, Iva.  Think it only took 18 months to get over it.  Got to the stage where I considered playing a game so that it would just snap so that I could go through a proper, "normal" rehab program with it.  One of the most frustrating injuries I have ever had was the old achilles "soreness".

I'd go with:

FB: Melky  Oscar  Hunt
HB: Vince  Tom Mc  Lewis
C: Stretch  Viney  Bugg
HF: ANB Hogan  Brayshaw
FF: Watts  Weed  Petracca
Foll: Gawn  Oliver  Jones
Int: Tyson  Salem  Harmes  Spencer
Sub (2nd half): Trengove Garland

That's how I'd line up. Time to just play 22 on the field at once so those guys get a good work out.

I count 24 and they still have the extended bench, so it looks like they are all playing.

I'm Interested in who you think are the 5-6 who aren't playing and who they will displace. Surely a few of those will be shuffling of bottom 6 players with fringe 22 players (e.g. ANB, Bugg, Harmes, Trengove, Spencer, Melksham, Garland c.f. VDB, JKH, Jetta, Kent, Pedersen, Frost). Hibberd and probably Garlett would be the only players not named that I would call clearly best 22.

Dean Kent is best 22.  The coaches like AVB so you would say he is thereabouts, while Sam Frost was the third tall for most of last year so I think he gets a game as well... if fit.  Add Hibberd and Garlett to that mix, plus who knows what's up with Jetta, and you have 6 players missing who you could say are best 22 or very close to it.

Who misses from the side we named?  Garland, Trengove, ANB, Harmes, Spencer and Bugg are 6 who would probably miss out for the above players.

For the third time they have named Jack Trengove on the extended list. It would be nice to give him a run this match if only to confirm whether he remains a genuine part of our future (success)!

Looking a bit small down back for me. But its a decent team with a few out going up against a full strength (and pretty tall) Eagles. Should be a good test

I don't think Garland will play round 1 unless there's further injuries so I'd be willing to live with having an eagles tall kick a couple of goals just from being too big and to get the other defenders a good run for the first half and then sub Garland in after the break. I think Jayden Hunt would be a pretty good match up for Darling anyway.

I just realised they named more players than us so they will likely drop some of those talls.

    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.
