  • 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.

Ch7 clearly not reading the original article http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-04-26/petracca-to-miss-due-to-dog-bite

Misson said Petracca would be monitored over the next few days, but was set to miss just one week.

“The doctor felt it needed a decent wash-out in surgery, and the important thing is that the wound needs to stay open for three days to guarantee that that infection’s gone before they stitch it up,” he said.

“Unfortunately, those three days coincide with the game, and the doctor actually wants him to stay in hospital over the weekend, just to make sure that the infection’s gone.”

Today is Monday, so once the infection's gone, the finger is stitched back up. Seems part of the routine from what I can see.

In other injury news Lynch from GC out for at least 4 weeks. Shame for him. Good news for us.

That said Oscar would be disappointed not to get a crack at him and try and add Lynch to the notches on his belt.  

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/lynch-sidelined-with-knee-injury-20180501-p4zcmr.html

The MFCSS voice inside of my head can't decide whether he'll have a miraculous recovery in time to return for our match or whether his replacement will have a blinder. 

The glass is never full. ?

And hopefully Steve May misses more than the 1 week.

Bruce is a huge out for us for historical reasons. :P

 

Is the only name i recognised. I agree historically he's a nuisance. I don't rate him particularly.

I too don't rate him (or Membrey) but he and Membrey always cause us an annoying headache.

Dave Missions' list is a bit longer, has the following additions!

Dean Kent (hamstring) - 4-5 weeks

Mitch King (elbow)- 5 6 weeks

Lachlan Filipovic (managing loads) - 2 weeks

Corey Maynard (hip) - 8 weeks

Harley Balic (foot) - 2 weeks

The whole injury list is here:

Harley Balic (plantar fascia) – 2-3 weeks
Lochie Filipovic (rested) – 2 weeks
Jesse Hogan (knee/ankle) – test
Dean Kent (hamstring) – 4-5 weeks
Mitch King (elbow) – 5-6 weeks
Corey Maynard (hip) – 6-8 weeks
Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
Christian Petracca (finger) – test
Christian Salem (thumb) – 1-2 weeks
Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 4-6 weeks
Jack Viney (foot) – 1-2 weeks

It's certainly getting longer which is not a good thing, but the positive is that outside of Hogan, Trac and Viney they aren't really best 22 players.  And those three won't be on the list for much longer as well.

Forgot about Kent and Balic. Did not know about Maynard.

Starting to believe in this Norm Smith Curse thing.

Don’t see much of the Aints, bb? Roberton is an AFL grade defender who has been around a while (128 games).

Balic has been out for 2 weeks with no notice and now for another 2 weeks.... poor guy.. what is it about our mature draftees.

Maynard ... 8 weeks .... almost career ending in reality

11 on the list... that is in excess of 25% of the list.. whether or not they are best 22 it is not good for overall team development... (not sure if resting Flip counts as an injury)

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
