    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.

Changes vs Brisbane


What

Recommended Posts

On a serious note, D's played well with Clarke of because we finally got some run and given Brisbane are quick I think Mckenzie to tag Rich, Blease for pace and Strauss so Jack can go up forward with Jetta, Viney and Clarke missing

One certain out wih Nev Jetta copping 2 weeks at the tribunal.

In - McKenzie, Rodan, Fitzpatrick

Out - Jetta (susp), Viney (rest/quad), Clark (ankle).

Who would you guys bring in?

McKenzie, Strauss probably Sellar if Clark misses maybe another small (Blease) with Big Max already in. Not sure the big Fitz is ready yet.

Looks like the best options Older D.

However swapping Mckenzie for Viney is like trading in your Merc for a Chery.

But The options are probably low.

I thought the same OD, that Gawn played deeper than Clarke had, & we had another running player after late in the game which helped our surge.

It was the tonic to kickstart us

Outs: Jetta, Viney & Clark

Ins: McKenzie, Blease & J MacDonald

It's hard trying to pick players to come in. Would like to see Taggert, Tynan & Kent get a run at some stage but unsure how they've been travelling in the reserves.

I'd also put Sylvia in the centre, Watts up forward next to Gawn/Jamar/Pedersen and Blease on a forward flank. I'd put J Mac on the back flank to replace Watts.

Jamar doesn really fit as he is too one dimensional but with Clark out and Spencer/Fitzpatrick not offering much more as a second ruck at this stage I'd keep Jamar as the no. 1 ruck and Gawn as his back-up.

I'd like them to set up as

B: Garland Frawley Terlich

HB: MacDonald McDonald Grimes

C: Evans Sylvia M. Jones

HF: Byrnes Howe Blease

F: Davey Gawn Watts

R: Jamar N. Jones Trengove

I/C: Pedersen Bail McKenzie

Sub: Tapscott

Dunn should be right by now so:

Out: Clark, Jetta and Viney (if injured or needs rest)

IN: Dunn, Mckenzie and Strauss or Spencer (probably to many talls but he deserves a chance)

I think a few have forgotten how hand Dunn is.

Would like to have Blease come in but I think he is in a similar boat as Watts and needs to show consistent good form at Casey (3-4 weeks)

Would also like to see Kent come in but according to reports his form on the weekend does not warrant it (and can't let one sided players in the team now - no defense).

Out: Jetta, Clark, Viney

In: McKenzie, Rodan, Kent

There's no obvious replacement for Clark. Dawes isn't ready, Fitzpatrick isn't good enough, Sellar doesn't deserve his spot back. Let Pedersen and Gawn/Jamar do the bulk of the big forward work.

Rodan and McKenzie fill in for Jetta and Viney. Kent gets a game due to his VFL form.

I think there could be as many as 4 changes, but I think they'll try to settle the side, so I can see 2 certain, & maybe 3 changes...


Potentials from the last weeks: Cam Pedersen, Michael Evans, Rohan Bail, Matt Jones,,,, > Jimmy Toumpas, James Sellar, Jake Spencer, & add: McKenzie, Strauss, Dawes, Rodan, Blease, Kent,

IMO, we need to be Not too tall up in the heat... so I'd keep the rucks the same, IF Dawes comes straight in, he'd be my replacement for Clarke.

I'd have Pedro deep, or watts may go forward in the greasy conditions. Myself I'm on record that I think Watts should be at Casey for a month, but I'm trying to anticipate what the selectors will do.

I'd like to see McKenzie come straight in to the Mids, as this team is light on for tenacity, hardness, experience, & physical strength... McKenzie for Viney

the Half-Backline needs fortifying with a decent midsized flanker. Dunn has been out for weeks, so this should see Strauss get his deserved shot.

thats 2 ins: or 3 if Dawes comes in...

Bit harsh I know, but I'd be willing to give Strauss a go over him, and he hasn't impressed me too much yet

Terlich does all of the hard stuff that strauss doesnt!

If Clark & Dawes both miss, then Watts can play CHF, and strauss can take the distributor role on the HBF

    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,
