  • 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.

If I believed that I'd quit.

Often footballers are the last to recognise or admit that neither their bodies or their form is able to be sustained at AFL.

No much how he tries, Whelan's body has been failing his best intentions over the past couple of years.

I reckon this is Wheels last year.

With all due respect it ought to have been Wheels last season...last year...Im not going to linger too long on the note that some of us here said all this last year...and got shouted down for it. Its not because he isnt a good player ..but is one of those who wil be unavailable far more than he is... its just not good sense to develop a team on this kind of standing.

Seriously..someone else ought to be racking up game time and taking his money. Dont like that thinking..tough..lifes like that !!

Oh God, this is all too much. Rhino, tell me you're trolling!

Well Grimes is skillful, classy, top bloke, attacks it hard, fairly attractive and injury prone - HT, he seems to cover my bases but, but, I just can't think about it!

Loges, Aussie was getting back into it but reinjured his hamstring.

Edit: Bub, you're a cruel, cruel, beautiful man

A bit of a different diagnosis from the afl site......

MELBOURNE

Simon Buckley (groin) - 1 week

Jack Grimes (back) - 1-2 weeks

Daniel Bell (thumb) - 2 weeks

Austin Wonaeamirri (hamstring) - 2 weeks

Mark Jamar (foot) - 5 weeks

Paul Wheatley (quad) - 6 weeks

Colin Garland (foot) - indefinite

Wheatley seems to be in a bit of trouble and no mention of Whelan.

Why? :huh:

Wheels has a history of soft tissue injuries through out his career. They have mounted up in the past 3 to 4 years. I think he is finished.

Isnt Grimes problem a back injury? If so its not a soft tissue injury and has different ramifications for the future.

Wheels is a favourite. One of the hardest players to pull on the red and the blue. But he is 29 and has played only 140 games in 9 seasons which means he has missed 58 games at a average of 6 and half a year. And thats not including finals. And none would have been through form. Played only 5 games in 2007 and 12 games in 2008.

This is it isnt it. When you peel away the sentiment and look at it in cold hard reality there isnt a lot of upside going forward for Matt..a sad but real appraisal. The list, and indeed all things MFC must be driven by real outcomes and expectations....about what is progressive and not just marking time. There will be casualties in this, but its about the team not individuals per se.

Forgive me if there is somewhere on the site where this shows up, I am fairly new to Demonland, but is it possible to keep a thread going that regularly updates injuries and likely return times. Players like Aussie and Jack G must be getting close to a return at some level and reading the various reports from the weekend several players have returned to the available list recently. The players that seem to be injured at the moment are:

Junior,

Russian,

Grimes,

Wheatley,

Bail??

Aussie

Players that seem to be back playing at different levels are:

Robbo,

Strauss,

Wrecker,

MacNamara,

Maric,

Can anyone update this list? it would be great to see these guys placing a bit of selection pressure on the current senior 22

It's a good idea in theory but we would struggle with a source. The Melbourne website updates the injury list infrequently so an injury list thread would probably be largely speculative unless someone from the club could update it weekly.

Every Wednesday, the AFL sends out an injury list for all clubs to the media. It is not always reliable ..but it is some sort of benchmark.

Last week - we had 9 listed as injured or requiring a fitness test - which gave us the longest list in the AFL - AGAIN! From memory the list was Bell,Grimes,Buckley,Robbo,Wheatley, Whelan,Jamar, Strauss and Garland . Junior wasn't included. Add Watts and Blease to that list - and we have a heck of a lot of youthful potential off the field. The question is why are we always so susceptible to injury?

Oops I missed Aussie?..maybe it was 10?

Because we can' afford to pay for the same technology/sports sience initiatives as the other clubs. Plus we are cursed!!!

A source would be hard to come by. In turn, I have heard a lot of different things about players like Jamar and Robbo from different websites and news.

I know for a fact that mfc do not spend as much on medical resources ,physios,MRI scans etc as other clubs,not the only reason we have the longest injury list in the afl over the past few years but it is a big factor

Eventually, I think the reason we are so suspectable to injury is playing form. We have had a bad run of injuries which have affected us over the last few years, but I think that some clubs are in a similar situation, even in form clubs like Hawthorn and Geelong. But on the topic of better facilities and staff, if you look at Collingwood's injury list they have much shorter numbers.

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
