  • 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.

Dunn has been handy, but hardly a world beater. He doesn't kick enough goals as a forward and regularly gives away an undisciplined free kick at the most infuriating time. He's in his 5th year and is still to cement a position. If you can't drop Dunn to promote/develop a player of Watts class who can you drop.

Dunn is the logical choice to make way.

Dunn out

Watts in

I'm happy with that Dunn has tried his best, although unlucky if someone needs too make way for big Jack he is the obvious choice IMO, we need two ruckman against the eagles so PJ should play, but he should also be on notice play and play well or else!

Absolutely.

I think he's been a better player for the first few games, the last couple of weeks, not so much. Bad habits die hard.

15 pages this thread is now up to!! 3 1/2 hours it will soon finish and we will all know...hopefully be excited by Watts inclusion!!

So the consensus seems to be that Dunn out for Watts as PJ stays due to the twin ruck threat of the toasters....anyone think that Spencer may be a chance to come in for PJ if this is the case?

Very raw still big Jake but was dominant last week at Casey, not sure that PJ has done anything at all to warrant a continued spot especially as others step it up and would deserve their chance!

I just hope he doesnt cop too much of a pasting from the media post game. Afterall its going to be hard for him to have a huge impact, its almost like he is debuting again in my eyes.

I really like the way you've set a negative tone before he has even been named for a game.

Well done.

Dunns leading the marks at Melbourne this year, very unlucky if he has to make way, poor kicking at goal last week would have killed him.

But thats what happens when a club has depth in its list, you dont perform theres a bloke at Casey ready to pounce, and this week that bloke happens to be JW.

I think because it IS Jack, supporters are more hesitant to drop a player.

It stems from paranoia that he will have a poor game and we would have been better off with Dunn.

We are entering/have entered the stage where players have to perform better than "good enough" to keep their spot.

This is a great thing.

No doubt the opposition players will target him (If he plays). It will be interesting to see how he handles it, and how the rest of the team stands up for him. Would be nice if Neita was out there still, just to show Jack how it's done. Miss the big fella.

Jake's attack at the ball and his rucking was great on the weekend. But every time he goes to kick the ball my heart goes to my mouth.

I'm not a big fan of PJ, but I think because he was called into the side last week he deserves this week to prove himself in better conditions. Against what many consider to be the best ruck combo in the league, he needs to step up and prove himself, or start looking for another job. My worry is if the big Russian goes down injured and Jack is playing, he will have to do some of the ruck work, even if only in the forward line, and I don't think it is good for his development at this time. Dunn has been serviceable, but really has done nothing to ensure his position is safe.

So for me

Out: Dunn

In: Watts (only if he is ready)

Alternatively, and I don't think I will get much support for this, (maybe even less than my Bennell pulled out of another contest thread)

Out: PJ, Dunn

In: Watts, Miller

Miller will have the best defender and be able to help out in the ruck. I think he does more around the ground and up forward than PJ or Dunn, and he can help protect Watts if they try and shake him up.

This year is about development. I don't think PJ, Dunn or Miller will be at the club in a couple of years, so maybe if the choice is who will be the best player to have in the team to help develop Watts, Miller could be considered.

PLEASEEEE!!!!

Release the teams now so we can end all this tripe!!! I can't believe this thread is now up to 15 pages. Unf*'nbelievable.

Started with with he was good or no good. Whether Nic Nat was better or not. Whether there was more to him not getting a game. Then his form at Casey was said to be sh'it. Then it got good. Now everyone is specualting whether he deserves a game or not. The full 360 is complete. I hope he doesn't play. This board will go into melt down if he plays!

    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

    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,
