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.

After training today, expect JKH to play, and Hannan to be out injured.

Bugg to be emergency.

Hannan with injured group.

Can you elaborate? Was he injured from the start of the session or did something happen?  Is it possible that he is being managed like gawn was the week before? Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Provided a lot last week. JKH has proven he cannot stand up to the pressure of AFL football. He drops the easiest marks and cannot finish inside 50. Bugg worth a try. He holds his marks at least.

At the airport feeling a bit crusty after Friday arvo work drinks turned into a bender at the local watching some classy girls jelly wrestling. 

I’m not as pumped as last week but still can’t wait to see the boys at the G.

Melbourne here I come. ??

Haha no rest for the wicked!

That's a bit of a bomb to drop without anything else to give, what do you think he injured? Was he visibly in pain or simply leave the track early?

Jkh in for Hannan is not good.

True,  but if he misses tomorrow he should be fresh as a daisy for the Elimination Final.

He was great vs West Coke.

I thought JKH was unlucky to be dropped.

Or was he injured?

No, JFK was dropped after the Sydney game because he’s not good enough.

He lacks composure (see the miss late in the Geelong game), can’t take a mark when there’s inferred pressure and doesn’t have any point of difference as an AFL player.

Hannan out today would be disappointing, however I can’t recall him playing back to back good games, particularly this year.

So is Hannan In or not???

We won’t know until this afternoon.

There’s only been speculation so far, which appears to be based on “trained with the injured group”, which has plenty of other explanations that don’t involve missing this game.

Two emergencies held over sounds like late change.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
