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.

Based (only) on the stats, perhaps his confidence has taken a bit of a hit ...

Learning curve.

I can see VDBerg pushing for a senior spot in the next couple of weeks. He gives us some x-factor and can be a difficult match up for any opposition. 

Can penetrate the goals outside 50 and takes strong a grab. Good size and tackles! ??

He is in our best 22 when fit! Definitely has an impact and makes us a stronger side. 

Plonk him at Half-Forward for mine... 

If both VDBerg and Petracca can hit form in the same side watch out! Delicious Bruce... ?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays against Adelaide.

He is a player Goody wants in his side.

Cant wait! ??

How did McKenna go Drunkn? Did he get through the game OK?

Yeah he got through. Made a couple of mistakes (1 in particular I remember turned into a oppo goal) but had some nice touches too. Will take him a while to get back into the swing of it.

From today 

- Weideman is AFL ready. He needs to be considered in our structure. Is it Hogan and Tom McDonald only. Where does the Weid fit in??

- Jay Lockhart is ready for AFL. He is not rookie material. He is National Draft material.  Our next Casey recruit. He need him as cover for Jetta but he is already good to go  

- Corey Wagner could be grabbed by another club. Too good for VFL. I don’t know if he fits in as we have similar types

- Dom Tyson must come in if Viney is out for a few more weeks. He starred again today and must replace Hannan. If we don’t, then we have to let him go to Suns or Blues 

Given Viney's absence, and the fact that Tyson keeps bobbing up as a performer in the twos, as with Wagner who both should play, the Geelong game looms as a Geelong win if we do not do something to increase our possession count and inside 50s - where we miss goals too frequently.

Forwards of all types must be more mobile to space against the slower teams, such as Geelong.

Brayshaw, Gawn and Oliver emphasised our mid-strength against the Doggies and thankfully, in the third quarter last weekend, they flicked the switch and made the lights flash brightly again.

Hogan and other forwards played a little too far from goal, as well, leaving acreage behind them for very large portions of the game, even in the last half. In order to get the goals to beat the Cats, we need run and then some more run, and to finish it off, some more run to space, enabling our talented smalls to get to the goalmouth time and again where loneliness is the hunter. 

To achieve this, space on the backline and flanks needs to be made for the likes of Fritsch, Harmes, (Stretch if available), Kent, vandenBerg, Wagner - providing some 'get better, get angry' time for Vince, Lewis, Omac and even Nev, having Casey time. Jones needs to get angry on the HBFlank to see out a full game, JKH to the back pocket for Nev, Spargo to fwd pocket / fwd roving, Baker to the Wing. Frosty to full back alongside the Weed at backpocket. Pedo at CHB with cross-overs to the Weid at backpocket. Petracca to be given an Araldite bum for the HFflank and ANB on the other.

What position was vanders playing @Drunkn167?

Just on a personal note has the club sat down with Keilty in regards to next year? I feel like hes right on the tipping point of getting a game but just cant seem to crack in unfortunately.

Yep, I was more relieved than happy that the Dees turned it on in the Doggies game, just in time. We were too dependent on Gawn, Oliver and Brayshaw for our own good. These guys were formidable and will be again and again.

They flicked the switch but it was the Doggies who - with the usual umpiring interference - challenged us all over the ground for some time.

We had too much space unattended without gap filling by mobiles in the first half and we kicked to contested packs all first half. Had it been Geelong, the Filth, the Swans, Hawthorn or others in the rankings, we would have been cooked at half-time.

Our run is there, our ability to find space and incorporate excellent hand and foot passing is there but it is not a full game of efforts in these regards.

At both ends of the ground we were consistently out of position looking only for midfield dominance at the contest without space-finding play makers. There were, of course, plenty of exceptions to this impression but it did not come to fruition until 10mins into the third quarter when Gawn, Oliver and Brayshaw had a second-go at righting the wrongs.

To my mind (and this is most probably uniquely my impression) if 7 changes are needed, then 7 changes should occur. Until then, I cannot clearly see a full game of dominant play. The emphasis is on clearly seeing this occur, as in a couple of matches earlier in the year. Until then, I can only see the need for revivals of form and intent throughout any game. The competition, after all, is moderately even; what we need are the 'breaks', all game.

It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought in to this, but 7 changes to a side that won by 50 points is just not going to happen. It might have been an imperfect game against ordinary opposition, but more went right than wrong. The clubs also place a great deal of importance on keeping the sides stable - above all else at times - you seem to have ignored that completely. 

If there’s any more than 1 change I’ll be stunned. I don’t think I ever saw 7 changes made when we were the worst side ever.

    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
