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.

Wouldn't be surprised. And if his runs with injury are still like what they are now, then I'll drive him to the airport.

We don't need another injury prone coulda-been that hangs onto the club's salary like Lyon used to.

So do you wish to drive Grimes and Dawes to the airport as well?

Salary and injuries aside, Garry Lyon was no "coulda-been"

Best and Fairest - 1990, 1994

All Australian - 1993, 1994, 1995

Captain - 1991 - 1997

Leading Goalkicker - 1994, 1995

Grand Final team - 1988

Night Premiership - 1987, 1989

Best First Year Player - 1986

Team of the Century member

Media Association Player of the Year - 1995

Victorian state player - 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 1995

Garry was no could-of-been, he is a has-been who got us Bailey and Neeld, and who picks against us every single week in his Footy Tipping comp as through he still gives a toss about encouraging our current players!

I believe Mitch Clark's contract is up at the end of next year. If I'm incorrect please advise me. With that said has anybody else given any thought that he may leave at the end of next season? I'd say to head back to Perth. Pavlich will be gone, can see the Dockers making a move. Any thoughts?

he'd be an [censored] if he did, he's hardly been on park, he owes us at least 3 good solid years

I assume he's just saying that Clark would be upset since he was considering going to Fremantle instead of Melbourne.

Yep and lets be honest he may love the city of Melbourne but everyone plays footy to win flags, play in finals etc.. Freo are heading that way and Ross Lyon has them playing good footy. Even Clark was shocked by Neelds comment a couple of weeks ago when he said something that we are still another 5 years away. Clark when he arrived like all of us saw what we thought was a pretty talented list that was close to finals. Instead we are miles away from even getting off the bottom 4. I could imagine what would be going through his head when he watches Freo play every week and beating sides like Collingwood at home and draw with Sydney on there home turf. They have an exciting list and while he is enjoying the money we are paying him it still wouldn't beat playing finals footy and being close to a cup. I honestly reckon he just took a punt with us and hoping it would pay off and everything go well for him. Remember this guy was basically at Freo headquarters ready to sign until we opened up the brief case right in front of him. I think if he had his chance all over again he would pick freo with bit less money but the opportunity of playing finals and playing in front of big crowds.

WTF are you on about!? you say that my post is worthless yet you come up with a one liner that has nothing to do what I just said and your telling me I should think before I post? bahaha talk about hypocrite! the amount of dribble you post on here I find it funny you have the guts to say what you just said.

Its not like I potted Clark anyway im just saying how I think most footballers think. I have a lot of mates that play AFL footy and even have two cousins as well playing. They will tell you most of the time that when they turned down some offers from bigger clubs it tends to be at the back of there mind when they see them going well and things aren't as going as well they would have hoped for there team. You are seriously delusional if you think clark wouldn't have that slightest thought.

and if you actually read what I wrote I never once said he made the wrong decision you muppet

Your post is having 50 each way, the guys a multi millionaire that will probably never play again, I think Mitch realises he made the correct decision.

Is it just me or does anyone else think he won't paly again this year!

From what I have read on the MFC web site it looks like all over for this year.

There was a thread on Demonology that was supposedly citing a source at the hospital where Clark was treated as saying there is an extremely high chance that Clark will never play again. As usual, being bad news, the majority seemed to accept this as being gospel... however, that thread is no longer appearing on the forum there, so I imagine it has been removed under the "shenanigans" rule. Anyone know what happened there?

Feel the same Old Dee, I just hope that we see him next year (that's my concern).

The Club needs to make the call now. Coming back for 2 or 3 "junk time" games at the end of a nothing season is pointless, especially given that if we put him on the LTI list now, we can elevate Couch who has absolutely deserved a call up to the senior team. Also gives Couch (and Magner for that matter) a run of 10-12 games where they can prove to any interested onlookers (ie new coaches) that they deserve to be upgraded permanently at the end of the season.

It's looking that way. The problem is we have to be ultra careful and not push him too hard. If it comes it comes.

From what we've been told he had his lisfranc repaired. The repair looked in good condition but he had ongoing pain that he could play through but obviously it wasn't worth due to our season. So they thought that pain was due to the screw that whilst important in the initial repair now isn't vital. So they took it out. So what they have to do now is progress his activity whilst continually checking that everything remains structurally sound.

At the end of the day the only people who will know the real truth are Mitch and his surgeon. And none of them are talking any time soon. So lets wait and see.

Hardtack the article by Misson on the MFC website says in part

"When he’s going to be back, we’re not 100 per cent sure, but we’re conscious that this is really a career defining rehab for Mitch,” he said."

That smells like forget 2013 to me.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
