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 Sydney Swans

Shocked to find out that with 5 days to go, nobody has started a thread on this vitally important topic.

What's Watts' chances of a return for his milestone game?

Would Weed be considered?

Can JKH and ANB fit in the same team?

These and many others need answering.

Pronto.

Goodwin said Watts should play.

Out: Salem, Garlett

In: Watts, Kent

Weid to play in the VFL until he kicks bags consistantly.

I love Kent but he doesn't contribute emough consistantly to our immense pressure game. Hopefully he kicks a few and increases his trade value.

I don't really want to ponder outs at the moment, but Watts is a definite in and from the outcome of the Casey game, Kent, JKH, Kennedy and Weideman all in form to warrant selection as spots become available.

Sounds like injury has hits again - Salem and Garlett must be in doubt. 

Any news on Viney's shoulder?  And knowing the MRP his contesting the mark may cost him, though IMO it was accidental, in play.

JKH could get Garlett's spot - an opportunity to show his wares in his best position.

Wagner for Salem.

Watts for some unfortunate foot soldier

I think Viney's injury is an AC. I had a similar one about 12 years ago.  I'm pretty sure he will play, might need some pain killers though.

Doubt that he'd be in trouble for the hit on Hurn, both were going for the ball -you can see Jack looking at the ball trying to take possession in the air.

I am worried about next week. Salem would appear to be out. Jeffy couldn't run in that last quarter at all. Captain Jack must be in doubt for either the shoulder or the hit on Hurn. Watts may not get up in time. Then there are the niggles we don't know about. Plus, that was a damned tough game of football with only a 6 day turnaround ahead. Sydney look like getting McVeigh back so virtually full strength.

Worst case scenario, Salem, Jeffy, Captain Jack all out. Watts, Hoges and Nate still injured. JKH and Kent would be my immediate choices with either BenKen or maybe Corey Maynard.

Jeffy looked sore, and Salem clearly has some issues. 

Wagner and Jkh come in. Not sure if Wattsy will be available.

A rampaging Swans outfit will smash us if Jeffy, Salem and Jack miss.

Goodwin mentioned that Garlett had hamstring tightness but its not a strain. He may come up for next week depending on how he recovers. I'd say Salem is more of a worry. Watts was touch & go this week so he should be ok after being rested. You would think Viney would play as well, general consensus seems to be that an AC joint is a manageable injury.

Massive selectors' headache for the Swans game. Probably need to wait until Tuesday to see who visits for scans, who trains, who is only doing light running etc... But a lot of players are in form, maybe as many as 30, so some unlucky sod is going to miss out.

At the moment, the possibles looks like:

OUT - Salem, Garlett

IN - Watts, JKH/Wagner

Having said all that, I was way off the mark with the injuries to Jones and Watts last week so its just a flying stab in the dark really. But then, this is Demonland...

Jones

Viney

Hogan

Watts

Garlett

Salem

Brayshaw

Vanders

We could be missing nearly half of our projected first-18 from the start of the season and still we might go in as favourites v, last year's grand-finalists.

Yet I still think we can win, we are no longer relying on players but instead place holders, doesn't matter your name just play your role.

 

Seems the players aren't the only ones with belief

I think injuries/niggles will be a revolving door due to this 6 day break. Would expect Watts and maybe someone else to cover Salem and potentially Garlett. 

Play Hannan deep with Watts and Pedo. JKH can play Hannan's HHF/midfield role.

Tmac on Buddy

Pedo ruck support

Maybe OMac comes out if Garlett and Salem are right? Omac was pretty poor last night and was ineffectual against Petrie or McGovern. I know his form has been better, but Buddy could break records on him. Heeney would be too quick for him and Reid is suited to Frost.

Don't rate JKH. ANB and Bugg will do as small forwards

Hope Garlett pulls up OK today though

Don't rate JKH either but watched yesterday and he was very good and it was against the top side

Something a little worrying talking about possible changes on a Sunday when we should be bathing in the glory of Saturday night!

This week I don't mind waiting for the MRP, Misso's spin and our guys saying Garlett, Salem and Viney are all fit to play only for them not to be selected!

    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
