    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'm not terribly fussed. Of course the worry is that it could affect him in the long run, but getting it early and with a body his age, hopefully there won't be a problem.

The clear upside to this is the ability to promote a rookie (i.e. McKenzie) in his place.

As far As I know, big Gawn is already on the LTI list, so we could promote two players? Maybe Spencer as well?

Michael Newton lives again

I would think that if we could promote another rookie apart form McKenzie, it would be Hughes.

This would be his last year on the rookie list and so he has to try and prove what he can do at senior level, so that we know whether he is worth placing on our senior list in 2011, or whether he should be let go.

With Newton we already know what we're getting, and lets be honest, placing him on the rookie list was a last resort measure to get around his existing contract and clear spaces for draft picks.

So Tapscott IS injured after all!

I was told he just had to go home for family reasons and that he would be back and firing straightaway.

Probably just a misunderstanding eh?? B)

I strongly doubt they just made up the passing of his grandmother, stupid and mean thing to imply, it was obviously a coincidence

Seems to be a trend with us, drafting promising kids who get banged up early. Gives us something to look forward to in the second half of the season if things are not going to well for us. Having late season debutants is always exciting. I wish him a speedy recovery.

A promotion is a must form the rookie list if Luke is out this long, and Jordie McKenzie is miles ahead of the rest for a call up. Spencer would also be in line given the shortage of talls.

Curry and Beer, where did I imply they made up the story about his grandmother passing?

What I implied was that we were not advised by the club of the continuous reason behind him not training / playing.

The deal re his grandmother was never in doubt in my mind.

Why don't you comment on fact and not perceived inferences? Pathetic post.

If you read and comprehend my post, you will see I said he had to go home and THEN would be back into it!!! This was not the case! He has been injured for some time.

Don't accuse people of being stupid and making mean posts, bud!!!

I just hope people get on to this forum for the right reasons and don't go off at other posters on a personal nature. This may not be the case here, but lets all post footy club stuff, not this other meaningless *&%#$!

While it seems that you were correct, I will say that there's nothing more annoying than someone saying they can confirm something, then not confirming it.

Sorry but I`m not into name dropping and gee, I`m sorry you had to wait 24 hours. If that`s the most annoying thing, your life must be a treat! I did say in a later post he`d be having surgery as early as today, which he did!

You may have been right, but you still didn't confirm it with anything concrete, as you claimed to with the thread title.

You don't have to be a genius to see that.

Gee, the geeza has a point! Seems like there is a bit of ego being rubbed here. Who gives a rats if he didn't "officially" get his thread title to your liking! As far as I can see, the title name is 100% correct. It's a forum at the end of the day, not the channel 9 news...and it seems Hell Bent hit the nail on the head before they did. Thanks for the update and thanks for sharing.

What about Spencer?

Got a corkie yesterday, but I doubt that'll keep him out for Round 1. With Johnson, Jamar, Gawn, and even Meesen all injured, surely we need Spencer to ruck for us.

There is no way Newton is getting promoted. His being shunted to the rookie list was akin to the club delisting him.

Sorry but I`m not into name dropping and gee, I`m sorry you had to wait 24 hours. If that`s the most annoying thing, your life must be a treat! I did say in a later post he`d be having surgery as early as today, which he did!

Next time, just don't put the word 'confirmed' in the title of the thread when you don't have any confirmation.

But don't stop posting any inside information you get. Please.

Don't know if anyone has already said this, but it is funny that here we have recruited a boy with the body ready to play, but he can't for four months becuase he is injured.

Ironic even.

Just like Judd was left til pick 3 because of dodgy shoulders and Joel Selwood lasted til pick 7 because of bad knees.

Surely we picked him for reasons other than his physique.

But I guess it's a bit ironic.

Apart from being a good mate of Trenners,he is also a thumping kick.

Personally I like the look of this kid.Given a few years,I think he could badly bruise a few oppentents. (another Viney)

If Tapscott is anything like Todd Viney he is worth waiting 6 months for. We have have not had a hard player like Todd Viney since Todd Viney!

I think you're mistaken.....does the name Cam Hunter ring any bells? hahah

?? Cameron HUnter ?? Where did you pull that from?

Let me guess...

Hunter had the build of a matchstick. Tapscott is very solid. That is chalk and cheese.

Hoping he makes a full recovery. But I dont expect him

to do much this year.

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
