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.

As a supporter and member I can please myself as to my views.

I can't stand Bugg and hope he's played his last game in red and blue.

Mainly because he's sh1thouse.

I just don't get that Pro Dee. We differ here.

Out: Bugg, Viney, Tyson, White.

In: Kent, Trengove, Maynard, JKH.

Wagner deserves to be dropped, but I can't see anymore than 4 changes. We are running out of fit bodies to run out in the park.

Still has to get through a test. I have Jack and Jeffy down as questionable. I hope both are back but I'm looking at options if those 2 can't get up.

Thought I heard Jon Ralph say Watts was only likely to return round 18.

INJURIES
Carlton: Marchbank (right shoulder), Plowman (dislocated finger), Weitering (ankle)

 

Hopefully all three miss. We deserve some luck.

I think they all played out the game didn't they?  So I doubt they miss

John Ralph would have no more idea than the man in the street. Goodwin said he was a chance which to me means not this week but next

I don't think Maynard comes in.  Although he is finding the ball, I don't think his skills are up to it yet.  

Out:  Viney, Bugg, Tyson and White

In:  Hogan, Garlett, Smith and Kennedy

Watts comes in of course if available

Gee, if Marchbank & Weitering miss that would be huge.Yes,not their elite midfield but would seriously affect their structure. Wishful thinking.?

 To me it doesn't matter who is out of an opposition team cause it doesn't matter. 

We just need to beat them no matter who is or is not playing.

It could be time to get creative again maybe play a loose man behind the ball and tag their play maker off half back Doherty for starters. 

Only play guys who are fit witha view to pinch a win or two over the next month and come home strong when we get players back in 4 weeks or there abouts .

Give johnstone or kielty a go, really need to see if our depth players are up to scratch 

There's depth players & then there's lambs to lions.. Both no where near ready. I've watched both in the VFL.

I'd like hope they would take Trengove over Kennedy. At least Trengove can use it!

I don't disagree but I think his papers have been stamped unfortunately.  His leg speed hasn't helped

(If Hogan, Garlett and Watts come in it will more than compensate.)

 

None of those players are inside mids, won't compensate anywhere except the team sheet. Contested ball is our BRAND.

 

 

It allows petracca to go into the mid full time for one, secondly watts and Garlett are much better uses of the ball meaning it won't be turned over as much when compaired to say White and Wagner. Additionally it gives the team more structure. I'm not saying u win finals without them but a team like Carlton with 4 wins shouldn't be a problem. If it is we are kidding our self about having any sort of impact come September. Very rearly does a team have there best 22 or even best 18 any given week if dees can't beat a team that sit on 4 wins after 14 games with 3 mids out we have bigger problems than injuries

Maynard will surely play, hes 25, a mature body, smooth mover and is racking up the footy in VFL.  Why draft him if we arent gonna play him when our midfield is depleted?

In -     Hogan, Garlett, Maynard, J.Smith

Out - Viney (inj), Tyson (inj), Bugg (susp), White 

 

Harmes, ANB and Stretch all need to lift, they were pitiful vs the Swans and are lucky to be in the team.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
