  • 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 refuse to blindly support every player regardless of how good they are. Sorry but I won't do it. We have had so many complete spuds running around forging long careers as footballers for a long time and that is why there is enough space in the trophy cabinet to park a cadillac. So far, Bailey is cutting them one by one and I praise him for doing so.

So you TOTALLY disagree? Explain yourself then

Welcome to the internet circa 2001. Every football messageboard has posters like you and have for years, so they simply don't tolerate the rubbish. It's that simple.

Most of this thread is about substituting Spencer for Jamar. I don't think it's as simple as that.

Presuming Meeson is not up to it (despite Bailey talking him up this week). It's about Jamar, Johnson and Spencer.

I don't dismiss Jamar as quickly as some; it was he who jumped into Sandilands all the afternoon of the "great comeback" last year (and had a great impact on the final result). We have no-one else who could do that. Johnson is a great athlete, a mobile ruck/forward who is big but plays well small; he is not a first pick ruck IMO. Spencer has shown a fair bit this year so far. I think there is room for all 3. Spencer might just have to bide his time for a few months; so be it.

i honestly have a feeling this isnt true.

thoe jamar isnt a great ruckam but they people go about sayin it is just complete rubbish.

saying spencers played 3 better games than jamar ever will is stupid, i hope hope its not the end of his career and i doubt it will be unless he doesnt play another game for the year.

That would never happen sunshine.

Brendan Gale and the players association would be so far up CC n DB's ass, they both wouldn't be able to sit for weeks.

Do you honestly think a player without many opportunities would defy the coach and demand to play and have a sook to the AFLPA about something like this? He would immediately be an enemy of the club then what does he do? What the coach says goes - it's always been that way and it always will!

..

I actually blindly support every player, give them a chance because they play for the team I 'support', notice you username is a bit bland, assume you are hiding the fact that you are a non-potato who stood out in a long and successful career in the VFL/AFL, if you reveal yourself as such, then we can stand and admire, if not we can say you are rubbish.....coz it doesn't wound anybody does it...I have played the game, not at a very high level, and I was ordinary

Yes, and he is more than in his right to go the AFLPA, they are restriciting his licence to ply his trade. While he may be injured now, and only miss 3 or 4 weeks (as what has been previously reported) once his injury is over he is not allowed to play at any level until he is taken from the LTI, whether that be AFL or VFL, so they are restricting his ability to accept match payments and do his job.

While he may not be the best ruckman, and if his time is coming to an end at Melbourne, he should still be given the opportunity to play at either level.

In the Sydney game, the only one of Spencer I have seen I would have the two on par, both very competetive at the contest, but both with questionable skills (Spencer kicked into the man on the mark 2 or 3 times - which is unforgiveable at this level)

I ain't heard it yet Ds!

I like the russian, and when he recovers from his foot injury and plays like shite, then come rnd 11 [censored] him off to VFL and leave him there, same with meeson. Let Spencer join our group legit and without screwing someone else over, or do you all think we should be called Carlton?

How about [censored]? :rolleyes:

From Bailey's talking on the MFC website, I would have thought that he is focussed on playing Meesen.

And before a player goes on the LTI, he must personally agree to going on the LTI. I cant think why Jamar would agree to go onto the LTI to let another player competing for his spot while he is injured for up to 8 weeks?

From Bailey's talking on the MFC website I'm thinking if Bailey had a choice between playing Meesen or eating a bowl of broken glass he would choose to play Meesen... JUST

As much as I don't think much of Jamar as a footballer it doesn't seem to be from lack of heart, just talent, and I hope he comes good asap. That said I'm happy to see Spencer get a shot at the big time and look foward to seeing him doing his bit for the red and blue.

Terrible news for Jamar, who for the first time in his career was poised to really grab a hold of that number one ruck position, but every challenge brings an opportunity.

Spencer getting promoted can only be a good thing for the future of our ruck division.

I suspect Meesen will be packing his bags come EOS.and the Russian might be looking to further fields to renew his game. AL good for the MFC..as an overview..unpleasant I appreciate for the individuals. Its tough environment footy..such is life.

'Sauce' is pretty common internets usage.

That would make sense for most other posters, but I don't see Rhino as your typical forum geek with the associated 'speak'. :lol:

Am happy to wait a few more weeks before I start making that sort of call.

Very bad luck for Jamar, possibly very good luck for Spencer. Or a real opportunity for Meesen this weekend.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
