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.


Post-Silvia-Wonnaemirri injuries round one team

Recommended Posts

OK, others have tried this but barring training injuries we now know the personnel available, so here's my shot:

B: Bruce Frawley Bennell

HB: Rivers Warnock MacDonald

C: Dunn Moloney Davey

HF: Bate Miller Garland

F: Green Martin Petterd

R: Jamar, Jones, Trengove

Int: J Mac, Grimes, Scully, Cheney

Dunn was busy on the wing against WCE and post-Morton's injury I think he will get that spot.

Not entirely happy with Bennell but maybe with Bruce's experience for support he will work out.

Garland may not be ready and could be a round two return in which case Petterd goes to HF and Maric (gulp) comes in.

I figure FF is a rotation job anyway with Green and Bate spending time there.

If Garland doesn't get up then I'd play Maric or Jetta, whoever misses out.

I'd play Jamar in the goal square like against Carlton last year for 60% of the game, the rest in the ruck when Martin needs a break.

Green will also run through the midfield for parts of the game.

If Davey, Grimes and Frawley are out for some reason; Strauss, Cheney and Maric come in and I possibly shoot myself in the face.

I have assumed the same availability as Dee-luded. Spencer is a better ruckman than Stefan but Stefan at least offers some b-grade versatility across the lines. I would much prefer a bulldogs style mobile forward line than a tall target just for the sake of it. A tall target is only valuable if they are A grade and will mark everything in site or if you have quality smalls to feed off a B/C grade talls crumbs (which we dont have).

I saw Garland yesterday, He played a half, He won't be ready for AFL for a month IMO.

And forward would be suicide for him, going in under done in a weak forwardline, picking up the best defenders.

We've just got to be patient.

Am I the only person who thought Dunn was shocking yesterday? I wouldn't have him in my Round 1 team unless he was the last available option. I thought he was terrible.

My Round 1 team, given the pre-season, would be:

If he plays a full game next week I have a sneaking suspicion he will play round 1. I see him as close to our most important defender so agree that is where he should play.

Saying Dunn isn't up to AFL standard is a bit silly since he has played well at this level as early as 2008... Consistency is his issue and finding the right spot where he can settle. He hasn't shown he is a class act yet but he has had an impact on occasions... as few and far as they might have been.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
