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 am I the only one reading this thread and almost being embarrassed to be a Melbourne member. How can people be calling for Hogan to be dropped. Two weeks ago he was mentioned in almost every expert commentators mid season All Australian teams.

Nuffies are going to nuff.

And the amount of nuffies on Demonland is awe-inspiring.

Just a thought, but does anyone else think Bugg deserves another chance??

Yes I would try him inside, in place of Tyson.  Just to see what he looks like there,,,  against one of the lower sides.  end of year we make some big decisions and we need to look at our fringe players. now is the time to check them.

Tyson hasn't shone so far.

I would consider Bugg an in instead of Tyson, Lew, or Bernie?

Thanks in advance.

Er...well let's think, the role he was given by Goodwin

I am astonished by some of the bollocks posted in this thread

It was a great contested game, we gave as good as we got if not better

We lost in my opinion and in no particular order because

1. injuries at critical times

2. A couple of dubious umpiring decisions

3. Not lowering our eyes going into the fifty

4. Maybe not having an extra tall in defence

Goodwin was pleased with the effort, we need to replicate it and get back to lowering our eyes when kicking into the 50 like I see at training every week, we have experienced pressure, learn from it

Out; Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen, Christian Salem (all three not enough game involvement), Neville Jetta (rest, been hit hard a couple of times this year) and Tom Mcdonald (rest).
In; Sam Wiedeman, Harry Petty, Dion Johnstone, Sam Frost and Oscar Baker.
In a game against St.kilda we could blood some new players and shake up the team till we establish the best 22 and later create the cohesion needed for the finals (hopefully). The next week give Harley Balic, Jay Kennedy-Harris and Dean Kent a run.

So many changes which I know will not happen. Would love to see new players and show our depth instead of talking about it. We may need them if we get hit with injuries and giving them a run will prepare them if  they get called up for more challenging games.

Unless your name is Goodwin, would love to see you tell him he is rested

You have taken out a high half forward and a half back  and replaced with two tall defenders and a wingman?

Yes, I'd imagine if he had a role it was given to him by Goodwin or by the other coaches. Thanks for that, very helpful.

But I was wondering what it (the role) was as I don't know and therefore can't judge his game performance.

Please tell me what it was.  Help me out here Saty.

Disingenuous ring a bell here, you are supposedly one of the self appointed experts on here so you should be able to dissect what role Tyson had, as he was involved in the midfield assume he was given a midfield role.

Considering that Goodwin was impressed with the whole team performance on contested ball etc and only had an issue with the team bombing it in, for which all players were guilty, assume Tyson did his role

So in other words, you have no complete idea what his role was.. again, proving how you're so far out of your depth in terms of the knowledge of footy..

You made the claim that Tyson played his role...  you get asked what it was,   then you realize you have no idea so you throw it back on to Vogon to explain what Tysons role was all the while trying to sound like you have a clue.

Comical.

Yes to this. Only changes I can see being made for next week unless we have injuries.

Whilst Tim Smith and Pederson might probably give you a bit more consistency I think Weid has the most potential and I've liked his attack on the contest in the air and on the ground when he's been in. The role that those three play is really clear as a lead up tall who can help in the ruck. They're pretty much in to contest in the air and tackle and attack each contest. I think Tim Smith has shown this at AFL level, but I don't know if its just me but he seems to get injured or battered almost every game he plays. Wonder if he's not approaching contests protecting himself well enough....

So I assume all the players played their role. 

Have I got that right?

Dazzle my ageist precious, knew you were there somewhere, could sense the heavy breathing

Depending on which bounce or ball up situation arose Tyson may be a blocker, the receiver of the tap from Gawn, the outside receiver etc, meant to be the conduit between the backs and the forward, kick a goal or two if possible, tackle anything in an opposition shirt, rotate through the wing and half forward if required  and look good on camera for the post game interview

Goodwin said so, only disappointed with the inside 50 entries, said the behaviours of the whole team were exemplary

You said he played his role, vogue asked exactly what his role was? You then took a blind guess which made completely no sense whatsoever..

You embarrassed yourself with the Gaff thread after being shown out as a petulant liar, and now this.  

Just stop mate.

I don't know what his role was, do you, if Goodwin was satisfied with the team and the intent, surely that means he played his role, if he didn't then he won't get a game next week

What was his role then?

You are doing it again, misquoting, you do know that all posts, apart from those that are deleted by mods are kept in perpetuity, I didn't lie in the Gaff thread, others attributed that to me

Seven goals in the VFL has to be rewarded, he has clean hands and it’s only a matter of time until everything comes together at senior level. Before he was injured he was also getting involved around the ground a bit more and showing some good signs.

I don't recall Tyson contesting a centre bounce (happy to stand corrected) and it appeared he was covering the defensive side of around ground stoppages - most notable when he gave away the holding free against Wines and was caught out on the fast break and couldn't catch up. 

In any case, by starting on the wing and setting up defensively at stoppages, Goodwin clearly has him playing a different role now.

Furthermore, this whole notion of exemplary behaviours espoused by Goodwin will prove incongruous when selections are announced later this week IMO

    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.

    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
