    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.

Changes v Richmond R5



Recommended Posts

Would like to see the Casey results first, but Weideman almost certainly to go back. Melksham has been ok this year imo, but was shocking today. Hannan probably due to go back for a few as well.

Hogan > Weideman

Hibberd > Melksham

Brayshaw if he plays well a chance to replace Hannan.

Just as the op suggested.

Agree with first two

  Weed looked injured as well as lost - time to reset

  Melksham ? another Essendon Trojan Horse?  Turns over far too much. Hopefully Hibberd may be different

  Hannan - depends on whom is pressing from Casey. Let's see how Tim Smith goes, and Brayshaw and even Trengove

A brayshaw or Trengove in for Hannan would have given Goodwin some more flexibility. Against the tigers we will need this.

In: Hogan, Hibberd, Trengove 

out: Weed, Melksham, Hannan

Big chance for some players at Casey this weekend - Brayshaw, Pedersen and Kennedy to name a few.  Their performance will go along way to deciding the changes for next weekend.

You would think Weideman has used up his chances for the time being and will be straight out for Hogan.  Will Hibberd be right to go after one week at Casey?  Most of us would hope so but we know what happens when you take in a player who is underdone.  Hannan is another who might be on the chopping block and if one of Kennedy or JKH can impress then they may get a run as well.

Indeed that last spot is a toss up. Quite right to see what happens at Casey

Look to this weeks emergencies first and see how they go on Monday as this has been the hint each week as to who is next in line for promotion.

Trengove, Oscar and Smith were this weeks emergencies so I would not be at all surprised to see Jack back. I expect Hogan to replace Weed. It may be Weed and Melksham for Hogan and Trengove and hope there are no further injuries.

Just saw Melkshams stats..

10 disposals 0 contested 10 uncontested 3 tackles and 7 turnovers.

Under Paul Roos he wouldn't get a game with those numbers. Will Goody drop his mate?

If I remember correctly, he had zero contested and 18 uncontested possessions last week, bit of a pattern there.

Out

Weikaspissernam Melksham Tyson Hannan

 

IN

Hogan Pedersen JKH/Kennedy Hibberd

 

IMO a lot of people are fooled by Tyson irrelevant touches.. he is a slow accumulator who's foot skill are ordinary and too slow to actually use it..

Agree, plus toss in the lack of defensive pressure.

But being an ins and outs thread:

Out Weid,, Tyson

In: Hogan, Brayshaw

Hibberd in next the following round for Melksham

This week:

Hogan for Weid. Thats it.

BECAUSE then you've got Jordy and Hibberd ready the following week, and Brayshaw hopefully in touch and knocking down the door. He's too good for the 2's.

I also think our midfield need to be held accountable for that loss and be given a chance to atone. They were nowhere near it in the 3rd and they owe us a 4 quarter effort.

Still not convinced about Hannan, but if Hibberd and Lewis go back, Vince and Salem can go to the wings and everyone rolls forward one spot pushing Hannan and Melksham out.

I still wish we had another forward target. Watts and Hogan are good, but that 3rd versatile forward option is what we lack. I think the long term need for that and the Hogan suspension is all thats kept Weid and Hannan in.

I've been a massive Weid critic and wanted him dropped last week. I wasn't able to make it to the game yesterday but on the radio they were reporting he copped a heavy corcky to his right leg in the first quater.

Wouldn't be surprised if he is out injured rather than ommitted. He's normally an accurate shot for goal and he couldn't even strike it from 25m out.

He is defenintly more effective when Hogan is in the team but i don't think he'll get the chance to prove that next week.

Could Kelty come in for Melksham?

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
