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.

Training Week Commencing 19/3

Yup.  Toes can be very tricky to get right and strangely debilitating when injured.  Frost and Sandilands have both missed seasons with toe injuries and Bernie last year was a shadow of himself whilst playing with an injured toe.  

Take the time.  Get it right.

Yup

We don't NEED TMc right now, with our backups. 

 

But We do NEED TMc late in the season, fully fit; heading towards September, Springtime footy. 

Its a must, we need his marking power & his running power, to cover the miles.

 

I don't care if he misses the next 6 weeks, as long as we get him right and in Full running fitness, come the half way mark. 

He is now one of our major keys to any success we might experience, come finals.

Had some of the morning off so I decided to venture down to have a quick look at the boys. Didn’t stay the entire time and was only really looking for the players in question for round 1. Harmes/

Plus it is meant to be wet on Sunday so as long as our forwards chase and tackle we should be fine.

50% chance of a shower, chiefly in the morning, total rainfall 1-2mm.

By 3.20 it will hardly be "wet".

Sounds like the rectus femoris group for Oliver,

I thought he was in the rehab group.

Is the rectus femoris group a sub-group to the rehab group.

Does he have to get out of the rectus femoris group into the rehab group then from there back into the main group. Sounds a long way off to me. Big doubt for Sunday.

Just as long as he's not in the rectus season group.

Sounds like the rectus femoris group for Oliver, at the front of the thigh, attaching around the knee and upper tibia. One related connector is across the top edge of the patella (kneecap) and suspiciously, this may be the site of discomfort. Should be right to play in he was moving freely at this point. Agree about Oliver's importance as a player as he gets the ball out or to a teammate at most contests.

Where is the, 'rectus femoris' ?

Sounds like a lingering injury?

But is Brayshaw a certainty if he's available?

With Viney out we don't have 7 other midfielders better - Oliver, Petracca, Jones, Tyson, Salem, Harmes. A fit and healthy Gus is next ahead of Stretch and Maynard.

The rectus is quite close to the dardenells, where my great uncle was shot in WW1. He couldn't sit down for a month, much less play footy.

I questioned this after JLT1 but I think his form in the 2nd game ensured he will play round 1.

Yes, I agree mate! Just showed a knack of doing the little things last game and showed he could fit in the backs, middle, or the forwards with his couple of snags at the end

IMO, Harmes' form might be a turning point in the Viney saga. He needs the imposed 'leash' to be taken off, that's all, as Harmes does surprising things unexpectedly and I'd consider that he has much more of these 'moments' held in abeyance. He is relatively quick, explosive, tough as nails - and very much a 'keen' team member - with most of the goods to drive the ball and teammates into positive play. And, of course, he is another year wiser.

If anyone is heading down to training today we'd appreciated a training report including who is in the rehab group. Thanking you in advance.

A detailed report on Viney would be ideal. Is he walking? Did he run? Did he wear footy boots or just runners? Is he alive? All of these things need to be answered or the site may crash again.....

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers.

Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    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
