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.

I continue to be surprised on this forum. Watts hasnt been named in the best players for 2 weeks yet he is 'a cut above the rest' and should get a call up? 

Watts' efforts in the afl for 3 weeks were unforgivable and disgusting. An absolute [censored].

He has not shown any appetite for the contest and we dont need guys like him in the team come finals. We need hard guys that put their head over the footy. 

 

4

Plus poise, supreme accuracy in kicking, speed, marking ability and smart disposal. 

That sounds like Watts on many an occasion. Hell be back soon. Don't forget that he contributed to many early wins early in the season so if we make finals he was a  big part of it.

The VFL MRP or whatever they are, don't appear (to me anyway) to be nearly as over the top, inconsistent or influenced by the media frenzy as the AFL MRP. The Watts report will get tossed out in record time.

Watts helped the bloke to the ground safely. Bet that doesn't happen every day. I know i never did it.....

Mate, if Jack didn't love footy and playing with that team - he would have quit years ago.

You do realise the mess of a footy club you have been following for the past decade?

Agree with this, loves the team and his teammates from all accounts.

BUT I would really like to know what makes him tick. The celebration after kicking the goal in the last Q on QB V Pies. Playing well until injured in the Doggies game. Upon return from injury looking much less interested in doing the non negotiables, did the injury play a part in it? He seems to be a very different cat than your stereotype AFL footballer.

I also think that after his (unique) football career is over he will be successful in whatever he chooses to do. I would put money on it.

I will never forget that goal at the QB game. I have only replayed it about 500 times. The fact I was in a box with 15 Collingwood supporters only made me love him that bit more. He will be back.

So Keilty was in the hurt locker today, had some foot issues that required a jab, nothing too serious. And damaged his hand in the 3rd quarter after a contest.

Despite this I thought he played pretty well, not as good as his last couple of weeks but got his hands to the ball and took some important grabs.

The AFL.com report on Watts report was pretty poor. Claiming he jumped into the Williamstown player with eyes for the player, and not the ball.

There was very little contact, the afl.com.au report of the incident is just breaking things down. The umpires should able to remove a report after the incident, anyone would look at it and know it's fine.

Are you him, or a close mate or relative?!

Thanks all for your reports

From the video clip Watts was barely a free and the report should be quashed 

I have never seen him, but is Keitley an upgraded Garland?

Sounds like they're setting him up for a Jack Redpath special.

All it needs now is for someone from the club to say something helpful like they did with Clarry in the Schofield thing - like, say, "Yeah, Wattsy gets too frustrated when someone plays him close, he has to do better on that" - and we won't have to worry about whether to select him for next week and the first 2 weeks of next season.

Watts comes in next week, no if or butts, he has got back his match fitness, before he  Mist 4 weeks he was in the top 5 players, the team has not played well when his been out, he should have played a game in the VFL after coming back from injury, people have short memories before injury everyone was saying best year ever by him, if we are going to do anything in the finals he must play, they say it was a tough day weather wise, he took 12 marks that very good, he only averages about 17 posies a game at Afl, you don't leave out your classiest player in finals, they are the player that stand out in finals

Watts will definitely come in vs Pies. Didnt even see the Casey game but his stats tell me enough. This has been planned by the coaching staff for the 6 day break going into round 23.

Salem will return too.

I don't know about Salem, but yeah I'd be very surprised if Watts doesn't come in. Should we beat the Lions and do it well we should be solidly placed in the finals, we can manage players better and give others like Watts and Hogan a good chance to get some match fitness. 

We could look back at this as a stroke of genius. 

Well done to Casey they had to struggle through our injuries through the year and have come out the other side very well.

DEES CLOSE IN ON TOP FOUR by KC from Casey

The Casey Demons moved into the VFL top four with a hard fought 24 point victory over ladder leader Williamstown at Casey Fields on Saturday. 

The game was a fierce battle as strong tackling and close play were the order of the day. Casey finished the game with 136 tackles, a statistic led by its smaller brigade of Jay Kennedy-Harris (19), Corey Maynard, Tomas Bugg and James Munro as the team fulfilled coach Justin Plapp's requirements by giving the Seagulls their hardest contest for the season to overturn their opening round defeat at Burbank Oval.

The win was a tribute to Plapp's coaching which has seen the team lift itself off the floor with a 1-4 start to move into premiership contention, achieving this without a team chock full of experienced AFL listers as happened last year. 

The Demons had just 10 MFC players available this week and they were again capably backed up by the mix of experience and youth among their VFL listed players. Munro with 24 disposals was outstanding, skipper Jack Hutchins was steady in defence and Ed Morris (20 touches) was a busy and effective member of the Demons' small brigade.

All eyes were on Jack Watts in his second match since he was dropped from the Melbourne team. Watts opened brightly when he marked 25 metres out and kicked the first goal of the game. He played well picking up 20 possessions and 12 marks and even provided a  handout against the prolific Nick Meese in the ruck. Watts was placed on report for charging a Williamstown opponent at a marking contest. My observation is that he collided marginally late with minimal force and that the charge should be thrown out.

http://m.afl.com.au/video/2017-08-19/jack-watts-reported-in-the-vfl

The visitors were in control of the game for most of the first half. They led by eight points at the first break and held that lead until deep in the second term before Bayley Fritsch's goal at the 28 minute mark was immediately followed by another to Morris. A further major to Kennedy-Harris just before half time found the Demons taking a 12-point lead into the long break.

It was more of the same during a dour third quarter with Casey maintaining its distance and recording two late goals to push the lead to 22 points at three quarter time before it saw off a brief Willi revival to run home a comfortable winner. The Demons remain undefeated at home for the 2017 season.

Kennedy-Harris had an outstanding game and the controversial Bugg also relished the conditions after serving a six match suspension incurred against the Sydney Swans for an equal game high record of 24 disposals.

The Demons could finish the round as high as third on the ladder depending on the outcome of today's game between Box Hill and Port Melbourne.

    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
