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.


Go and get Gaff!

I'm just making it up he's on $1M.

Can you please edit your post to read $550k. I've heard it from a very unreliable source Gaff is an avid DL reader and we don't want him getting over inflated ideas.

Ha! Ha! I see what you did there even if I don't know how. I see it but I don't believe it. 

Andrew when you read this I just want you to know I didn't write that. You are only worth $500 and be grateful for playing for the team you grew up worshipping like all of us but we don't get the honour of playing for it like you will. Sooo lucky.

Thank God for that. I was worried you were going to quote some unreliable source like a friend of a friend's friend or someone who knows someone who knows a family member.

This going to the team you followed is not a trend in the AFL, just ask Juddy, Buddy and Prestia.

How often does a player of his calibre remain unsigned this late into the season?

Very good chance that hes already committed to us.

It would be nice to be considered (the MFC) as the destination team of choice for players of a particular calibre.

Geez I hate the expression ‘cooked’ when it’s applied to footballers.

There’s something not quite right about it.

Whilst I’d like to see Gaff in the red and the blue, I don’t see why doesn’t Goodwin throw Jayden Hunt on a wing if he’s not liking him in defence. He definitely has outside run. In spades.

 

Fully agree on Jayden Hunt - maybe he can develop some more skills for this role in the next few weeks/months. He does need to be able to apply his speed with a change of direction. In a straight line, he's very fast. A capacity to weave reliably, to blind turn or to combine 'eyes up' scanning to teammates with that speed would be phenomenally potent.Could be the next Stan Alves if that was the case and located on the wing with 2-way running from HBF to HFF or spots in-between. He already has Alves' kicking aptitudes and grunt speed.

Poor disposal, only runs in straight lines and often gets caught for running too far. He can fix 2 and 3 but I don't think his disposal will ever be as good as Gaffs.

didn't Murphy commit to the blues?

ooh, disagree Werri.

Why do you say that?   I'd prefer Hannebury,,, unless you know something I don't?

Inside, slow and injury prone. Hannebery is someone we don't need we need outside run and carry like Gaff not Hannebery he is cooked.

So, if we trade out Tyson, and Oli were to get hurt, we need inside ability.

We shouldn't maintain the list that skinny,,, that we have no cover. 

I think Hannebury can be very handy,,, and with Tyson on the outer, and Jones running on fumes. We would lack class inside, in those circumstances.

And we aren't as strong inside, as we like to think we are.  We're strong, but not the strongest.  We are amongst the other good inside mid-fields.

 

Yes.... we need outside run, but we need speeeed, more than any other run.

 

If we can guarantee we win the clearances,,, and get the ball out to our quick's, we will win way more than lose.  We do not want to pay too much Lira to any one player.    Unless a DShiel or JKelly bobs up.

Why would we want Clarry to be injured for. 

Main players: Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Jones, Harmes, Petracca, Neal-Bullen, Fritsch, Stretch

Fringe: Tyson, Maynard, Vandenberg, Baker, Bugg, Hannan, Kennedy Harris

We have enough players to cover for injury.

If we don't have injuries Tyson and\or Hannebery play in the reserves, what a waste.

inside mids, in-unders... Oliver, Viney, Jones, Harmes,,,,,, Brayshaw, Petracca, Neal-Bullen,

I would say of these boys, the first 4 are the real coalface players, and the others are opportunistic insiders.

I think I see where your viewing things from.... we differ on what we call inside players (in-unders)..... I think, we only have 4 of what I would call in-unders in our B-22.

The others I would term, as just inside mids.

 

Now...  no-one wants injuries, but they do happen.  And we need cover.  and we need to get more talented.

Hannebury is a yes for me; unless he's murdered an underworld figure in the past 6 months.

Just admit you were wrong I won't think any less of you.

No opinion is right or wrong, it is an opinion

Not sure which bit you don't get

You only have to read the game day and post match to see differing opinions on the same player

It is only a certain type of person that requires validation that their opinion is the correct one and others are wrong

    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
