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.


MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Rubbish selection.

Whilst I understand giving Gawn and Toumpas a rest for their tiring bodies, to have left in all of Davey, Howe and Byrnes, who are giving us squat right now, and thus leaving out Strauss, who is doing all he can at Casey, is ridiculous.

Good to see Davis get a game, but totally disinterested about seeing McKenzie again. Should have been someone new.

I just can't wait for AFL season 2013 to finish so I don't have to groan every time footy stuff comes across my computer, tv or radio. I am warn out. This GWS v MFC game attracts me about as much Ita Buttrose in a bikini. TO be honest, I really don't care.

Happy for Davis, though. Should have happened weeks ago.

Amen to all the above brother.

I feel your pain.

Maybe we bought jordie back in to tag Ablett. 3 journos turned up to Neil's presser. Whats the point of having them. No body cares now

I prefer 3 journos to every journo in the land feeding on our demise. The bombers are welcome to monopolise the journos ATM

Best of luck to Davis. Should have played him at the height of his form not as it waned.

Why promote Magner then not play him or even have him as an emergency?

Craig's mantra that we will reward for when Strauss can't get a game after being in the bests 3 of 4 weeks especially when 90% of the side can't kick.

Gawn and Toumpas fair outs but plenty could have followed particularly Davey, Howe, Byrnes.

McKenzie was always going to get a game particularly after 30.

Where is Satyriconhome???????????????????

I am here chap, just been busy at work, been reading the site, we are just in a horrible place at the moment, don't see any point in beating myself up, agree with Craig would like to see a bit of 'effort' for last four games, but not holding my breath, nice to see Truck Davis finally get a chance after 2 years of really good consistent footy at Casey, if nothing else it will show him and the Club whether he can cut it at AFL level......think like a lot of supporters at the moment, will watch the away games on the telly and switch off if it becomes intolerable and go to Fremantle game........then watch with interest what we do then.......we will be coming from way way way back next year

Yes, pleased for Troy, but he's hardly coming off a big couple of weeks having had a combined 20 disposals (av: 10 per game) in the magoos. He should have played weeks ago.

Furthermore, unless they intend sending Dunny or Garland forward, then he will be playing as a forward - hardly the easiest spot in a Melbourne side at the minute.

But at least we will get a chance to see if he can step up at this level.

I don't get the selectors.

When we played Geelong and North, who are always physical, we went for leg speed players and got hammered all day.

This week we play probably the fastest side in the comp and we add Jordie to our line-up.

Explain that?

Pleased to see Davis get a game but I wonder whether he'll play back or forward? And, if back, who of Pedersen, McDonald, Garland or Dunn goes forward? Personally, I'd try Davis forward as none of the others inspire me as forwards.

I note MFC is pointing out that Davis is MFC's 1300th player. Given the age of the MFC, I wonder whether he's the first player of any club to be number 1,300. Anyone know?

North's new guy this week was 997 I think. Something like that. I presume MFC, Coll, Ess and most of the foundation clubs will be around that number.

Maybe St Kilda might have the highest number. A foundation club with a worse record than even the MFC has had in the last few years. You'd assume they must have turned over a lot of players in their time.

WINNERS AND LOSERS by Whispering Jack ...

Unless the playing group makes an effort and demonstrates some pride in itself, then the team will continue to generate more depressing scenes such as those at this week's presser when they were even short of attracting the proverbial three men and a dog.

Gold Coast by 78 points.

Surely, this prediction alone confirms that this must be our worst season ever?

How many of the 1300 players have been developed properly?

That would be an interesting stat.

1300th eh?

Is that a hundred times more unlucky than being the 13th player? If so, knowing Melbourne's luck this year he'll be struck by lightning before he makes it through the banner.

Pederson will prob go FWD. He might actually do ok against younger guys.

Hes fat and slow, but quite strong in the air. plonk him down one out in the goal square perhaps.

    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
