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.

His signing is super important given Spencer's body can't be relied upon as a back up ruchman and competent 2nd rucks are hard to find

What a load of sheet. Spencer came in, played his heart out and provided a massive bump. Sacrificed his body and career for the team.

nobobdy could have expected he would come off worse from it.

The only reason he won't get a contract extension is because his bravery gave Pedo a chance in the ruck and it worked.

It's not a load of sheet at all. I posted that I was worried Spencer would get injured before the Freo game. He lasted a game and 5 minutes. His body just doesn't hold up.

Do your research on spencers injuries over his career. He has missed big chunks of games almost every year. No one said he doesn't try by the way but his body isn't up to it

I'm watching a reply of last night's AFL 360.

David King was just discussing the 'evenness' of the ruckman this year, and said that McEvoy is probably leading the pack.

He then said, for the 8 games that Cam Pedersen rucked solo, Champion Data had him as clearly the number one ruckman in the competition. He's a 193cm utility.

The guy is a legend. He's all heart. So pleased (and relieved) he's had the season he's had, both for himself and the club. His performances have been absolutely critical for us.

No doubt there'll be a lot of silence from those posters who authoratively proclaimed him to be a list clogger and nothing more than a VFL player. They've obviously been absolutely wrong though - his contributions have kept our season alive. Pleasingly, the football department has acknowledged this through extending his contract.

I just wish he played a few more games earlier in the season. Perhaps we'd now be pushing for the top 4?

Well done Cam. Hats off to you. A true Demon.

 

Cams family will be printing and framing this post.

Will be a family Heirloom

The bigger they are the harder they fall. The majority of ruckmen are injury proan.

Even Jim Stynes was injury proan but he just played anyway.

Well done Cam. He's probably a player who gets the rough end of the pineapple a bit in that he gets no leeway that others do in selection. It's how AFL footy is and he's not the only one, but I do notice it (and even apply it when considering changes). Interviews with him seem to indicate he's aware of it and uses it for motivation - that's good because he'd have perished ages ago if he sooked about it. Hopefully the new contract can be interpreted as an endorsement for this year's efforts.

I love Pedo. Heart & soul type bloke!! Gives absolutely everything. Top bloke too. .... 

I'm sure it was said on here by more than 1, that he was not liked among the playing group.

Did you ever see those posts? I always wondered why it would be the case.

If only JW had his work ethic and dedication to not give in. Pedo is reeping from his years of hard work as you mentioned, I hope it continues.

Then we brought Max who wasn't statistically the number ruckman in the competition straight back into the middle and at the same time lost a medium forward position because Cam isn't a KPF. (He is a utility - and a very decent one at that). We've been sketchy in our set-up ever since.

Huge lover of the Pedobear and what he brings (when he's switched on). Sticky dukes, big tackles and bumps and is a lovely field kick.

I remember reading a post or two about the above and always wondered if there was any truth in it.

I could never imagine him hanging out on Hollywood Blvd with the 'in' crew at all and he strikes me as the quiet type.

Not sure why people would dislike him, he's a bit of a battler, coming through the ranks the tough way and had to work at Bunnings part time to support his young family is pretty impressive. I have a massive soft spot for him and I would have throught all that isn't something that people could surely dislike?

He occasionaly has an off game or two but even when playing average he is involved in so many scoring chains that often go unoticed by the masses.  It's no co-incidence thar we win more often when he is playing.  Not a superstar but he rarely fails to impact on the scoreboard, either directly or indirectly through assists.  These are the blokes that make a diff on big games as they arent flashy but just do the job and help out.  Great clubman.  Keep unless or until his time is well up and someone else can push him out.  No diff to anyone else

With Garland, Trenners and Kent looking likely for an exit at the end of the year, and Jack Watts on possibly shaky ground, the non-captaining players on our list to have survived the Neeld era could boil down to this for 2018:

Tomald (KPF)

Maxy (AA)

Nev (AA)

Pedo

About a million-to-one forecast a few short years ago. And I'm sure there's some Aesop fable in there somewhere.

    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
