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.

Some back grumbles i suspect.

Interesting that Trengove is still another week away.

Bearing this list in mind i would suggest that the only change we may see is McDonald in for Beamer.

Trengove & Grimes :(

That injury list seems to have taken a turn for the worse when 2-3 weeks ago things seemed to be on track.

Yeah, can't see too much change this week. If Beamer misses and Junior not ready I'd say Maric gets a run.

We always seem to struggle with injuries dammit...!! These guys need games in 'em!! Especially Trengove, Grimes, Petterd et al!

We could well be going into this week WITHOUT all of *ahem* Grimes, McDonald, Trengove, Moloney, Petterd. Massive. :(

Incredible injury list out at Collingwood:

Anthony Corrie (knee) - 1-2 weeks

Brad Dick (shoulder) - test

Nick Maxwell (calf) - test

That's it!

If Dick and Maxwell pass their tests only one player will miss out on a game this weekend ... and he's not a best 22 player ... and he could be back in a week anyway!

How do they do it?

Time for a complete overhaul of the rookie list next year. I can't see us retaining Maric, Newton, Hughes or Healey (all too injury prone). Jordie McKenzie and Jake Spencer to get uplifted permanently to the main list.

Maric is not a rookie, do you mean Meesen?

The last time they had such a dream run with injuries, they won a premiership.

I don't reckon that injury list is really quite as bad as it looks at first glance. Practically speaking if those players all come through fitness tests it really looks like this:

James Strauss (knee) - 1 week

Jack Trengove (hip) - 1 week

Jack Grimes (hamstring) - 3 weeks

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) - season

So fast forward to the lead-up to the game v Brisbane next week and it could feasibly look like this:

Jack Grimes (hamstring) - 2 weeks

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) - season

I don't think that's anything to be too worried about.

Why does anyone believe what the Injury Lists say? It's used to confuse opposition clubs more than anything.

If the injury lists are unreliable then clubs would be awake to that and just ignore them. Therefore I doubt their purpose is to confuse other clubs.

Any specific examples or predictions of how this list might be misleading??

Do you think Ricky Petterd is, in fact, going to return to the team this week leaving Sydney reeling and unable to gather themselves to effectively compete??

What about Hawthorn?

Rhan Hooper (hamstring) 1 week

Max Bailey (knee) indefinite

We've never had a list so short!!

Take out all the rookies and it doesn't look nearly as bad:

Jordie Gysberts (back) - test

Stef Martin (hip) - test

James McDonald (hamstring) - test

Brent Moloney (corked thigh) - test

James Strauss (knee) - 1 week

Jack Trengove (hip) - 1 week

No doubt the $$$ have an impact but there is an element of luck involved too.

Generally the healthiest of the contenders at the pointy end of the season contest the big one. They better hope this isn't the calm before the storm regarding their injury list because their cup aspirations would go out the window with a couple of key players unavailable, namely Swan & or Jolly.

Surprised with Trengove. On the Sunday Footy Show he said it was a bit of 'general soreness' and he smiled sheepishly when he said it. Quite surprised therefore that he's out for another week.

i think melbourne might be quite happy with his output and wanting to blood other midfielders, also being careful just in case while getting games into scully, lets be honest we have no shortage of midfielders.

Injuries are a result of many factors. In no particular order these are:

-the age of players and how developed their bodies are

-having players that are injury prone

-the quality of the fitness staff

etc etc

the catch all is definitely luck. All clubs have their bad luck and their good luck. Its not worth winging about it because you can't change it.

Ultimately the one thing that can be changed is professionalism. Players need to be committed to recovery, stretching, warm ups, warm downs and building up their core strengths and other parts of their body. This also depends on having the necessary money for facilities and staff to instill the right practices on the players. Our list has now completely turned over but the long injury lists and 'disappearances' of players for minor injuries remain. For that reason I am concerned about our professionalism.

On another note. There has been a consistently conservative approach to bringing back players this year. I hope that this is the reason that seemingly innocuous injuries cause prolonged weeks on the sidelines.

    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

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
