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.

Interesting to see these names. Thanks for the reports KC & others. Would like to hear more on Couchy, JB, Fitzy, Ricky who haven't rated much comment so far - when our generous scouts get the chance to report.

Hang in there Gys & Jack - work hard to get back on the track. Looking forward to seeing you out there again.

Yes, completely understandable. Who has suggested otherwise ? Why do you think I'm reading the thread ?

You said you wouldn't comment again,

Please stick to your word.

Two broken jaws in one game!! Now how bad fan luck get - and especially for poor Gys who just racks up the injuries.

Did anyone see both incidents?

BUMP: Does anyone have an update on the "suspected" broken jaws on Viney and Gys??

It was great seeing Liam play again after what he's been through these past 8 months.

I reckon he went ok, and was one of the best in the opening quarter. He showed he had bit in reserve when he spun around and goaled over his shoulder in the last quarter, before leading out for a mark and just missing another shot. He then followed up with a lightning hand pass goal assist. I'm no expert, but his touch was pretty good, but he probably needs 2-3 weeks in the VFL to build up his match fitness. All in all it was a good hit out for him and his coaches should be pleased to see him get through a game after being out for so long. Today I'm a happy man.

Thanks RudeBoy

Keep us updated on Liam's progress. We all really appreciate it.

Cheers mate

The hit on viney was fair from where I sat. He was on the end of a chain of ever slowing handballs, the last forcing him to stop dead to be able to take it, wojo had momentum and justifiably nailed the stationary target. No case to answer for mine.

There would be no way I'd pick watts on todays efforts, cruised through the game, is far too good for this level but the insatiable appetite for the contest wasn't quite there for mine. His stats flattered him.

Best game I've ever seen fitzpatrick play, he certainly seems to have improved in quantum leaps, would be a big chance to get a call up. One goal in particular where the ball went over his head, he turned and grabbed it, arched the back to gap his opponent and then took on and beat a second oncoming opponent to run into goal. Had great agility for a big man, and also puts his body into making contests, crucially playing in front more often than not.

FFS why is there always a dark shadow over anything remotely positive happening at this club?

There goes half a season of Gysberts developing. Fantastic.

No he can still put some miles in his legs which is the one area he struggled in pre-season. We know he can get the ball and deliver it, he just needs to develop a bigger engine.

According to the ABC (Kelly Underwood), the hit on Viney by Wojo was "very late" - the ball had left the vicinity... Geelong BigFooty forum fear the worst at the tribunal...

Negligent, high, severe and late. There is no case to argue, even in the VFL. Gawn.

Just watched a replay (6.30 on 7) of Wojinski deliberately hitting Viney in the face with his hand, then they cut to Viney going off the ground with his broken jaw.

It looks bad but i suspect the two incidents could be unrelated, as (according to reports here) the incident that broke Viney's jaw occurred in the field of play.

Yes, they were two very separate incidents.

No offence to Wojinski but one of those players that always annoyed me. Most probably linked to him being one of those players that as soon as someone hands him the ball the commentators start frothing at the mouth about his speed and dashing runs which is almost always linked to him bursting through the half back line to kick it straight down the oppositions throats. I can hear Bruce now "Scarlett to Wokinksi, Oh you now he's got some speed and there he goes on one of those trademark runs owwghhh grrraaa umm slober etc"

Watts 20 disposals, 4 goals. Looks like he took being dropped in the right way, too good to languish in VFL, should be back in the seniors.

Next week:

IN: Watts & Jurrah (as sub)

OUT: Dunn & whoever doesn't play their role this week

I'd love to see Petterd, Blease and Bennel playing well back in the senior team, but want to see them playing consistently in the bests at Casey. All 3 have potential to be very good AFL players, but their deficiencies are holding them back. Let's hope these 3 develop and come on asap!

Nup, I'd keep Watts out for 2 or 3 weeks to let things sink in.

Bringing him straight back just diminishes the whole Idea of Him lifting his workrate to somewhere he's capable of. Instead of just meandering about for 18 odd kicks.

He's Got to start to give everything he's got, or he'll be a wasted talent... if not.

Watts actually does a lot off the ball. If you look at pack marking situations, he's often the guy putting on blocks and shoving opponents out of the way. The problem is that we need him to be the one taking the mark. The big problem with his game is his tackling and repeat efforts. Generally if he's knocked out of the contest he falls over and that's the end of it. He needs to be back up and into them over and over again.

Yeah, repeat efforts & running hard both ways, is watt he needs to do. He looks like he prefers to play on the spot. Doing what he can there. Workrate?

    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
