  • 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.

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.

The way i see it, Spencers a lock for round 1. I see Meesen competing for PJ's spot as that second ruck who's more of a runner.

We need a big strong aggressive ruckmen to play.

The reality is youd be hard pushed to see any of Meesen's shining star on a moonless night !!

Jamar has worked hard to aspire to being a very average ruckmen with limited side courses !!

Yep..we really need this calibre in our line up going to '10 !! :rolleyes:

Barring injury, I have no doubt that PJ will play. Notwithstanding a couple of good NAB Cup/Challenge games, I don't think he's in any danger of being replaced by a Spencer/Meesen combination.

What that means with regard to Spencer and Meesen may very heavily depend on what happens this weekend against a pretty much full-strength top 4 side.

I can see Spencer assuming the #1 ruck this year and PJ playing a more of a ruck come follower ( as it were ) role. There is far more flexability with PJ compared to Meesen or Jamar; many more aspects to his game that can be called upon in a game.

were actually starting to look a bit like a footy team :) TGFT !! lol

How does one source the sauce and effect an affect without adversely causing many to be averse to the result.

We often err only to have others air aloud to what is allowed. Some place content upon the alter whilst others are content to alter to suit. I'll happily allude to an illusion if only to ellude an allusion.

So I assure you I will endeavour to ensure that I make right my words as I write to insure its based in fact to complement before being baste before all in lieu of compliment !!

Write as you will !! :) Its not the end of the world !! ;)

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

<_<

I have picked up two internet "words" in the years on here.....

sauce = source

loose = lose.

Are there any more? :o B)

Agree.

ATM, whatever limitations PJ has, PJ beats Meesen pants down in the ruck and definitely around the ground.

True. Especially when yours is riddled with errors too!

I just found it ironic to point out someone else's spelling error with one of your own.

Not sure I agree with this one. Its not 'internet speak', merely a typo, laziness or ignorance.

Didn't know about the 'sauce' though, so my apologies.

Agree.

This I most definitely agree with.

From what I’ve seen so far this year in the practice matches, Spencer will be an asset we did not expect especially at this early stage. A quote I made on 28th Feb after the Sydney game, “Spencer will be a player of the future. At the moment he needs a better footy brain. He had 2 kicks smothered from marks and some disposals went way ward or put players under pressure, but IF Jamar can improve we could get back to the days of the Twin Towers, Stynes and O’dwyer. This is a big if, but the way Paul Johnson is going there is a back up. Unfortunately Meesen, whilst in the first half didn’t get much time, he just didn’t look interested. For a guy that is being overrun by younger guys I would have thought he would have wanted to really impress.

I have a small felling that we will do far better than most expect, don’t forget, Watts and Bleese and a few others are yet to make appearances.

I agree..Spencer seems to be coming on a little quicker than many would have expected this year. a big plus..I too thought back to Stynesy and Strawbs !!

I also consur a few surpises ( pleasant ) are yet in store for us as the year unfolds.

Be a foolish team that takes us too lightly this year :)..a bonus for us :)

AWESOME. The footy gods are finally listening to me. What a great week. We finally have a sponsor (sort of). Spencer is now on our list and that clown Sylvia has lost the plot again fingers crossed that he won't be in the side RND 1 he definately doesn't deserve a spot the sooner he gets the ass the better.

If someone could have put Sylvia on the long term injury list while he was out after hours. We might have been able to elevate Valentie aswell. A lot more deserving than Sylvia!

Spencer and Valenti IN.

Jamar and Sylvia OUT.

I meant major sponsor we still need another one. So they suspended him for nothing did they people have been saying that he will show something for the last 5 years but he hasn't and his attitude seems to get worse and worse we are better off without him I would rather see Jetta or even Newton get a game ahead of him with the exception of Meeson I would rather see anyone get a game ahead of him.

"However, Notman did confirm that ruckman Mark Jamar had been placed on the long-term injury list while he battles to overcome a stress fracture in his foot.

His place on the main list has been taken by Jake Spencer who has impressed in the pre-season and is in the mix for a round-one ruck berth.

Jamar was placed on the long-term injury on Thursday last week and must remain on that list for a minimum of eight weeks. It means the earliest 2009 match he can play is in round seven."

RIP Meeson :o

Great news for Jake, not so for John.

And all round good news for the club as it will probably make Jamar even hungrier when he gets back, if Jake performs in his absence and it should keep PJ honest too.

    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
