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.

Fantastic from Brayshaw ... but very impressive from JKH. He just needs to learn to do it at senior level, he's got to be more than one of those players who stars in the lower leagues but never makes the step up.

From the VFL website-

Best Players:

B. Stretch, A. Brayshaw, D. Keilty, B. Kennedy, J. Kennedy-Harris, B. Fritsch

How did we win this? I had to go at 3 quarter time (I had a 20 km bike ride home into the wind) and yes we were a point down but we were kicking into 25 km/hr wind in the last. Extraordinary effort given we had lost Joel Smith and Spenser by half time. And we just hadn't looked good all day, save for 15 minutes in the 3rd. Gus stood out, Stretch and JKH battled hard. What I noted was that players had very little time and space to get ball and execute, not sure whether this was due to a smaller ground or the wind bottling all play to one area? Watching tonight's AFL match on TV and they appear to have twice the space and time to deliver. Totally different games to watch and for players to play I think. A player with some pace and skill but no real physical advantages in height would likely perform better in AFL than VFL. 

Of the Casey guys I liked Gent, Fritsch and number 22 Lok looks to have some potential.

"Angus Brayshaw was brilliant for the Demons, showing the flare which fans have come to expect from the young star. He tackled with strength and hunted the ball for 34 disposals, standing up when required at the death."

Great to hear Brayshaw had a strong game and stood up when needed at the end. Not great to hear Joel Smith has likely done his ACL.

Could I start the day by welcoming Casey's neighbour Frankston Dolphins back into the fold?

They will resume competition in 2018 and be joined by North Melbourne which has severed ties with Werribee and field a stand alone VFL team.

Pretty sure Joel Smith has done a serious knee injury, probably an ACL. Poor bugger has not had any luck this season

The curse continues. Was Norm a non favored great uncle of does he have some other reason to punish Joel so?

It sure does. Rational thinking suggests that Braysh should be held out as long as possible as he's only been back a short time... But Goody has brought in some really out-of-nowhere guys... Hannan early in the year, JKH the second time... And usually they work.

If he gets picked, I'll be super pumped.

It's about time rational thinking held up...

...and no they usually haven't worked. Hogan struggled, Max has struggled, Smith struggled, JKH was not up to it & anyone with an once of insight can see that Viney has no power in his foot at the moment and is struggling.

Leave Brayshaw at Casey for another game or 2 and if he holds his form & we look a chance at finals then maybe bring him back for the last game...maybe.

Look back to the start of this season & Brayshaw struggled, really struggled. He needs more time, we've rushed too many back into the AFL team too early.

You've missed the thrust of my post. You can't claim Hogan and Gawn were surprise selections. One's our best KP forward, and one's the reigning AA ruckman. (BTW, Hogan was building nicely before he got hurt again, and Max was almost best on against GWS... got 2 votes on MMM)

My post suggested that Goody has picked guys who you don't see coming... Gawn and Hogan's medical situations were all over the press before they were brought back, and noone (except you) are suggesting they were mistakes. Viney came back in and had 10+ touches in his first quarter back and looked sensational as well. All 3 are best 22 every day of the week and if they can give you 4 quarters, you play them.

Hannan in round 1 was one noone saw coming. Huge success. Hibberd played one game in the VFL and was put straight into 22 after that and has been amazing.

JKH noone expected the first time. The second time he was brought in was unexpected too, but played well. Other ins were more forced than anything... Wagner, Smith, Trengove... These guys only got shots because our injury list was huge and we were in trouble and needing guys who knew our setup from defence. You can't say they were mistakes when the cupboard was bare. You play what you have.

Add to the above, Melksham could have spent more time out of the side earlier in the year. Goody stuck with him and it's paid off. Maynard as well... unusual selection. Liked his game.

I'll give you one unexpected selection that didn't work. Wiedeman.

Anyway. It's all academic. You reckon Brayshaw has to be kept out. I hope Goody doesn't feel the same way. I'm just as much about getting games and confidence into kids as I am about making finals. Playing Pedo this weekend I was 50/50 on... I'm ok playing Weed even if he doesn't do too much. He's going to be hugely important. Same thing with Braysh. It's not like we're playing a rookie just to see what they've got. Both are massive assets for the club going forward. Goody's got his eye on the prize. And he's cleverer than us. Even just picking Braysh is a great thing for the club.

JKH is just not up to AFL level footy, Good VFL player nothing more!

Way too early to call. Has gone from playing small forward to a midfielder and excelled at VFL level. A big step. Lets give him a little more time for the core of his body to mature and not get bumped off the ball so easily at AFL level

No, you've missed the thrust of your own post 'Dappa' and that's about selecting Brayshaw this week.

I suggest this would not be a great idea and have given examples of other players brought in too early...I think we have for want of a better word panicked at the selection table this season. We haven't shown any faith in our depth players and rushed the "stars" in too early.

The selection of Hannan has nothing to do with selecting Brayshaw. Brayshaw is a known and has shown he can play at the level but given his history he needs time.

Hannan was a left field selection, Brayshaw would be in my mind a dumb selection.

Of course this is just my opinion and the selectors may go with him and he may have a blinder.

Trouble is they can't...Jack has given 1 quarter and struggled since.

    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
