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.


My 3 word player analysis V GCS

Recommended Posts

N.Jones- just a champion

J.Grimes - calm and controlled

Watts - a wasted talent

Dawes - great concerted effort

Viney- ready to impose

Frawley - effective when presenting

Tyson - laconic and unimpressive

McKenzie - just a tagger

Dunn - creative and intelligent

Cross - tagged and created

Pederson - tried but failed

Vince - disappeared when needed

Kennedy - Harris - some quick plays

McDonald - was surprisingly exposed

Evans - one impressive goal

Howe - better when forward

Spencer - was basically ineffective

Bail - had little impact

M.Jones - few redeeming qualities

Terlich - the clanger king

Jetta - provided good run

Georgiou - weaknesses were exposed

Grimes - Failed to inspire

Would love to see some more mongrel and impact from this half of the captainship. Not the worst today but too much is left to N. Jones.

Think you're a little harsh on Matt Jones. He didn't quite back up his game from last week, but I didn't think he was bad today - gave us some good run through the middle.

Terlich - the clanger king

1 clanger makes you a king? Turn it up. Terlich was ok today.

His disposal efficiency was higher than these following players:

N.Jones

Dawes

Frawley

Vince

Tyson

JKH

But don't let the facts get in the way of a good old fashioned misconception.

You can add Tom McDonald to that group too. His disposal is shocking, and his decision making is even worse.

Not sure you can write off our second best defender after one ordinary game. I know his disposal/decision making hasn't always been flash, but wouldn't want to be sending McDonald to the seconds any time soon.

And don't let stats misguide you. His decision making is rubbish and stands out like a sore thumb in a team desperate for good ball users.

He'll be playing 2s within the month.

Poster called him the "clanger king". He had 1 clanger.

1 too many

Well you're gonna have to drop these players too then:

Jones 1

Dawes 2

Cross 3

Frawley 1

Vince 3

Viney 3

McDonald 3

Jones 3

Grimes 2

Dunn 2

Bail 2

Pedo 2

Tyson 2

Watts 1

Georgiou 1

Spencer 1

And special mention to McKenzie with 5 CLANGERS. But apparently Terlich is the "clanger king" for having 1.

Not gonna be able to field a team next week by the looks of your selection criteria.

Ridiculous.

Mckenzie was best on ground for us today then.

viney - very solid game

howe - good second half. leave up forward, will be a handful with the opposition focused on Dawes + Frawley.

watts - deserves all criticism. don't know what can be done with him. just so soft. his "leads" are just jogs, looks like he doesn't want the ball at all.

JKH - worth persisting with. needs to get involved in the play more. will be better with less static, stop start footy from the team. much rather him than Byrnes

spencer - taps are useless. 3 disposals for the game + wasn't overly physical. unfortunately all we've got for now, but practically useless.

frawley - dropped chest marks. he and dawes (through poor kicking) taking their chances probably would have seen us get over the line.

Oh, i'm not basing it off one game. He constantly makes poor decisions and his disposal hasn't improved since arriving at the club. Sure he can run and is tall, but he virtually has zero football nous.

But he's not the only one, Spencer is not one of my favourites either, plus there are quite a few who are clearly just making up the numbers. There's a very good reason why we find ourselves where we are on the ladder,

come at me with the knives,im big enough to take it.

terlich=PR has taken most turnovers out of his game,,man gets the ball alot,thats why hes in team.

watts=like a puppy dog,one day you love him,the next he chits all ,over the carpet. foot up clacker needed NOW.

pedder these 3 want to be at the club and play like it,yes they are hole fillers,yes they are average, but we can keep them and be happy.

grimes

dunn

frawley,here we go,lazy overrated and only plays when he feels like it. simple really.this bloke just bludges off his teammates and is taking the pi55 at the club and supporters.

mcdonald=kid still learning and improving every week,no dramas here.

paul roos. he sees all of this and will make the cuts when the time is right.overall his reducing the scoreline and keeping us in the game until 3/4 time is working a treat.but he doesnt suffer fools and will swing axe at years end. thank christ for that.

    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

    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.

    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
