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.


Kangaroos Intra Club 13th February

Had an appointment over there so dropped in to watch before and see how Dom Tyson is tracking

Same Dom, inside mid, looked a class above, some good clearances, great handball choice and a couple of butchered kicks, long range left foot goal

Polec the standout, Aaron Hall trying too hard, tried one of his mazy runs, his opponent must have watched his vision, absolutely smashed him in a tackle

Other one to stand out was Boomer Harvey

Some of the ball movement was ponderous

Pretty good indication on why I think intraclubs are a waste of time and why I like that we're playing against the Pies instead.

Ball movement is usually hopeless, everyone knows where it's going so there's no test or creativity.

New players with a point to prove often stand out.

Ring ins (in our case mostly from Casey) play and get in the way or get beat up on. I remember Shannon Byrnes kicking a bag on a Casey kid that meant nothing for the season starting.

I watched the Geelong v MFCC game at Geelong we won in 2015(?) the other night.  It was terrific but it reminded me of why I was so bullish about Dom, he was very good.  Gus played a fantastic game as well and it was easy to forget how good he was when he couldn't really play for a couple of years.  But watching that game showed that last year was just what you'd expect.  Vince and Jones carried the midfield and Viney played a tagging role on Selwood.  Gawn of course had his break out game.

But Dom can play and I'd not be surprised if he has a good year now that he's back where he plays his best footy.

I wish Dom all the best. 

Playing AFL in the midfield with a broken bone takes a lot of guts. 

He did alright too

only so many spots on the field...

Agree and said as much to north workmates, he is a good soldier but would you have him in the side over Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Viney, Jones... nope was the answer.

I was amazed how well he played that day considering the injury. 

I would be scared to walk down the street with abusted hand, Let alone play Senior AFL Footy

Always welcome back to the MFC anytime in the future in my view. 

Our mids just became too good, no slight on Dom

Writing this must be like kissing your sister, @Satyriconhome?

thanks for the Don watch.  I wish him well.  Like wishing a goldfish in a swirling toilet of backed up turds well.

i wonder what you saw that stands them out vs MFC, plus and minus, from your brief observation?

It was an Intraclub as others have stated, Boomer was two plays ahead on 3 occasions to take intercepts

Polec will be an asset, same with Dom, Hall needs to put the handbrake on a bit from what I saw, trying too hard

An interesting observation, they did the huddle with a chant like MFC not the vibrancy or enthusiasm from all, unlike us, maybe a sign of a team that hasn't quite gelled

After a couple of injuries they sat Ben Brown down for second half

All the best to Tyson. He was a good servant of the MFC and assisted in a not small way in our rebuild. I believe he did not want to leave either.

Has always always seemed like a good bloke too. It shows how far we have come that players of his standard are now surplus to our requirements.

Exciting times ahead!

Watched that myself as well in the last few days.  Great game.  I had an inclining that we would be quite compeditive that day and didn’t fully expect that we would pull it off, but was absolutely stoked when we did.

Nibbler also played an absolute blinder that day, kicking something like four goals in his second game, a useful game, with a good goal under pressure from Billy Stretch  (so hopeful he can break into the side this year).  However, I agree that it was a brilliant and gritty game from Brawshaw that was the biggest sign of things to come.  He rode some big bumps and tackles from mature footballers that game, but never flinched and got straight back up, layed hits of his own, some great running and finishing off goals after breaking through the 50m line - signature Gus.

I also appreciated seeing a few like Matt Jones and Lyndon Dunn contributing  useful games for the side.

Didn't realise Boomer was going around for another year.

A truly good/great player who always gives you a good game. For years I would lament that you could not point at any Melbourne player and say they would play well irrespective of a win or loss.I think in the likes of Oliver and perhaps one or two others (Jetta)  we can start to say that about some of the Melbourne players.

Shows we are moving in the right direction.

Thanks Saty for an interesting thread

thought I could recall him retiring...thanks

obviously still can play the game

No doubt, he’s the ultimate professional. About 10 years ago when I was in defence he gave a talk to my unit, his preparation and the way he approached training was insane.

    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
