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.

Just listened to the segment. I thought Wallace was absolutely spot on, but for some slightly curious inclusions and omissions in the best 22.

Interesting that he said 'Jack Watts? I personally would've kept him, but it won't hurt the club long term'. Despite the 1 billion posts on that topic here, I think that pretty well sums up that trade perfectly.

 

Spot on...nor the short term either...

Melk was brilliant in his new forward role.  Was a masterstroke from the coaching staff. He even has the 6th longest steak in the AFL for consecutive games kicking a goal (12 games).

Porterhouse?

Wallace at least confirms that there is a 'silly' season and we must assume that pre-season is that moment. Even the Ox was a little flabbergasted by Wallace's selections. Weidemann at CHF - what a misaligned judgement! Oscar at fullback again would be criminal.

In - Pedo, ANB

Out - Weidemann, Harmes

I'd expect an interchange of Melksham, Salem, Lewis and Tyson.

 

Other than that, it's a pretty strong team.

I love Bernie but he will have to have a big preseason to earn his spot in the 18.  he has lost a yard but mostly his decision making has taken a hit which is mostly a mental issue.

i have him between 19-26 spot at the moment

Would love to know the basis for the inclusion of Weideman.

Let's be honest he has shown little at VFL level and the jury is firmly out as to whether he will make it.

What worries me is that a so called "expert" is so ignorant of our players strengths and weaknesses. Suggests that we are very low profile.

Nah...Terry often says himself that the fans usually know more about their own club than he and other experts do.

Mainly because we watch and take in every little detail.

He has to cover off 18 clubs, I wouldn't take it as a slight on our club or profile...

I've been reliably told that they're planning their preseason around Weideman in the 22.

Obviously things can change and it will be dependent on form, JLT, etc., but the plan is for Weideman to be in the team.

How on earth can there be so much discrepancy .... :rolleyes:

I think the 22 they have named is out dated. I think the days of three talls up forward are probably gone unless they are super mobile. 

 

Id say tommy and hogan are our key targets while fit and weid will eventually reach the point of pushing for a spot. It shouldn’t and won’t be gifted. 

 

Alex Neal Bullen will be one of the first picked for the side

 

i agree with Lewis and dom Tyson being right on the fringe. I suspect both play round one but need to play well to stay in the side

Starting to look like a bit of a decent side ‘ on paper’ and if they all play to their best we are a show, although I haven’t seen much from Weideman yet.

How much gym work (both cardio and weights) is he doing? Watching him last year, he makes an effort to do the one percenters off the ball but can’t take pack marks due to lack of muscle and can’t get to contests ala Riewoldt because he hasn’t developed the tank yet.

I could see him potentially in the 22 but on a flank or in a pocket. Body wise he has work to do.

I'm going to take your word for it but this stat sounds rather iffy.

I double checked it, yep.

Not only did he kick a goal in every game from round 12 on, but he kicked 2 goals or 3 goals three times each!

21 goals in 12 games is a pretty handy contribution!

An optimistic plan I would think.

However, as I posted on another thread, Weideman is a real wild card, If he comes on, our forward structures have a new flexibility and will be very difficult to man up on.

The pre season will be interesting.

Weideman, Hogan and McDonald all forward doesn't work for me.  And I have reservations about Weideman, but clearly they rate him internally.

Having made the decision to recruit him [Weideman] it would be difficult not to keep persisting with him - but it is most likely that the development he needs to make as a forward for us can only be gained with specific training and Casey time of an extended duration to be mirrored in his performance.

Agreed, but if he comes on do all 3 of him Hogan and TMac play foward?

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Hogan roam up on a wing and float foward a bit like Watts' best games, imagine trying to match up on that? 

Levercutting off fowa d entries for fun, Hibberd and Hunt playing off their man with Hogan and Petracca delivering long 1-1 to TMac or Weid

    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
