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.

Dutchie will probably get the job on Darcy.

Whats wrong with PJ playing on Darcy?

Does the Bulldogs play both Minson and Street? That is the only reason I can see for Holland coming in.

For some reason selection is always disappointing.

more to the point how does ward get a game?

just when i thought things were looking up

tempted not to go now

I agree. Ward in the starting 18? He is in purely for the run factor.

THE BULLDOGS ARE A GOOD RUNNING TEAM. SO LETS PLAY A BLOKE THAT CAN RUN (BUT CAN'T DO MUCH ELSE)! - The thought that went through Daniher's head this week.

Neale, the Bulldogs can run, but they also have the skills to hit targets!

Ward is not the answer. Why does our coach insist on playing a team to 'match' the opposition's strengths? Why can't we pick our best team and let them 'match' us?!

considering that P.Johnson, N. Jones and L.Dunn and 100% certainties to play...

the final spot will come down to one of Warnock, Holland, Frawley and Pickett...

if they decide to go for the extra tall, then it will be extremely interesting to see who of Warnock, Frawley or Holland is favoured to playing as the extra tall defender. If they go the extra tall i suggest it will be holland. If not, then obviously pickett remains in the team...

it just goes to show how much they rate frawley that he was named in the team without even playing a senior game for the zebras and being concussed during his first hitout last week. he was a certain round one starter pre-season and impressed much during preseason, so they must rate this kid...

(though while saying that, Warnock was extremely highly rated 2 seasons ago when he was named to play his first match for the club coming back from a 6 week lay-off and hadnt played a match from the reserves even to that stage... and he didnt turn out too special so...)

Such a bummer about Ricky! :(

I will be furious if Ward gets a run. Hopefully it's a straight swap, Green for Petterd.

Frawley is close, but I don't think they'll debut him after half a game in the VFL reserves. Maybe another week or two.

So I just saw Ward is in the starting 18.

I know that with Petterd, Wheels and Bartram out, we are missing that drive out of the backline, but given that Ward is Mr.Unaccountable, and given that he can't kick, wouldn't it be worth trying Buckley in the back pocket?

Does he have a single defensive bone in his body? Who knows. Is it worth finding out since we're 0-6 and no chance? Absolutely.

Hell, give me Bizzell over Ward!

Now that my rant is over, I'm going to assume that Holland, Pickett and Frawley will miss out.

Clearly Jones, PJ and Dunn are needed, and lets hope that Warnock is given another game.

i find it very strange that they would name frawley on the bench for the afl side after playing only half a game in the sandy reserves in which he got a broken nose, apparently a concussion and the team got belted. sounds like the treatment reserved for an established star. either they rate him very highly or they think someone won't get up and he is the cover. they won't drop pickett. so i think someone will pull out of the 18...

Unfortuantely very true...... maybe Neale and boyz might want to pay attention to this !! from both perspectives, one to emulate, second to stop them. Something that was almost poetic about the Dees has cetainly gone awol for some time..i.e accurate and meaningful disposal, hopefully to return soon :-)

Wheres biz, why is ward there? Holland good choice i recon to play on darcy. Bit worrying seing Jones on the bench, sure hell play but still. Warnock shouldnt get another gig...frawley should but i dont think he will. I recon Moloney will be a late withdrawel personally due to his OP and not risking him on the TD surface. My prediction of thoes Moloney wont play - Jones starting on with P.Johnson, Dunn, Holland, Pickett on bench. Love to see James get a gig, highly unlikely tho

Hmmm..Ward in the team again :wacko: . Its a pity about Petterd. I'm not sure whether Bizzel will be any better than Ward, The game has become to quick for him i think. Maybe if he was to play as the third tall behind carroll and Rivers i could understand.

I imagine the Danners isn't playing Newton because he has only p[layed two good games in a row. A few more and he may get a go. Buckley was average on the weekend so thats why he isn't getting a run. Its gonna be a tough game, even tougher with the inept disposal skills of Brown and Ward in the backline.

i hope Newton isn't the new steven armstrong...

armstrong played awesome in sandy every week and when he got picked he got 5 minutes game time only to dropped back down.

lets be honest, if you want to play in danihers team he has to like you

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    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.
