  • 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.

I've had exactly the same hip procedure, it gives you the ability to completely rebuild your core and change your biomechanics so you'll have far more speed and power long term.

The first 12 months of the rehab though are a slow process and should be treated as such, especially with an 18 year old kid playing in a team that's nowhere near finals.

If you thought he looked quick and powerful in his tapes pre-surgery, hold onto your hat, the kid will be significantly better than that in the next year or so.

Toump will be a genuine gun!

Okay - I apologie for this. I am overseas, opened up Demonland, didn't sign out and one of my traveling companions thought they would pose a question but used my details. I am very sorry and happy for the moderator to delete this thread. I just realized now when I turned on my iPad this morning.

BTW I am a huge Jimmy fan and think that in time, he will be a great player for the MFC.

Hmm...you sound suspiciously like Craig Thompson. Except you have excellent taste in football teams.

Has anyone else noticed that Jimmy Toumpas often gets caught with the ball and

lacks pace.

I remember Jones in his first couple of years used to get caught with the ball when he tried to break tackles.

I like tha Jmmy has confidence to have a crack and take them on. He reminds me of D Hawkins (please do not hold me to that).

Jimmy will be a star! (you can hold me to that)

I am bullish in regards to Jimmy. He is tracking nicely and I fully expect him to improve in all areas next year. The mentoring of Roos will prove a huge upside for this man.

Toumpas was top 5 in every club's ratings. Wines was clearly a lower rating than Toumpas in most clubs' ratings.

We will remind you of your poxy comments when Jimmy is trumps.

mmmm.

Played like a first year player tonight. Not knocking the kid, he's been good but lets not pump him up too much. He was well beaten, only 14 touches at 50%. I'm not always a big believer in stats but my feeling watching tonight was he really had no effect on the game.The stats back that up.

I'm not willing to call the decision on this one just yet, but happy for you to have your opinion. I have a feeling that both Wines and Toumpas will be good players, what I can't take is the comparisons with Gysberts and Morton. Toumpas might not be built like a tank but he has far superior skills than the those guys which will set him apart.

Anyway, I guess I must be one of those idiots you are talking about.

I hate to belittle anyone in life, but you are a muppet with as little footy knowledge as Julia gillard. You're yet to raise a valid point, and all you do is disagree with people who's opinion is different to yours. You are either the worst troll going around, or you are so far short of having any sort of credible footy knowledge or understanding of the game.

I hope for your sake you go and watch chad wingard who was taken at number 6 in the 2011 draft and see how many said port should have selected Toby Greene before him after one season, or back in 2007 how many said Adelaide were crazy taking pat dangerfield before brad ebert.

I don't know why I've even pointed this out to you as you have zero footy nous. But good luck to you.

I'm just going to throw it out there...

not having a great first year doesn't mean for one second Toumpas won't be a great player for us,

Wines has had a great year, that's fantastic for him but there have been many players who have great first years and don't get any better

lets wait til they have each played 100 games and judge them.

And meanwhile over on "Ology" the debate Hots up!

From an ology poster!

Toumpas is slower than even Brock McLean because his hips are shot to bits. The club knew about his hip problems before the draft but drafted him anyway. Meanwhile Wines has been tearing his opponents a new one every time he plays. This might be the worst recruiting blunder of them all, which is saying a lot - worse than Watts over Natanui, worse than Trengove over Martin, worse than Cook over Darling. With those blunders, there were excuses. With Toumpas, there is no excuse.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
