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.

I would have thought the reality of Jacks position is that he wont be available for the entire 15 season

Do i hear any dissenters ?

If thats the case then what good does he really do on the senior list, even if LTI. The reality also is if he doesnt come up he'll be let loose at the end of 15.

What if you were to do a deal whereby he did step down , in whatever fashion is required and he is picked up as a rookie but given a 2 year deal.. I couldnt see any other club taking on the risk, theres just too many others to choose from. If he does come good he's a cert for elevation if he doesnt he falls off the list as it were.

Whilst I'm all for looking after your blokes theres a balance somewhere between responsible and pragmatic.

Surprised no-one has picked up on this. Basically confirms that the Trengove to Richmond deal wasn't just speculative, it was all but finalised.

"After the Armitage approach was rejected Richmond set its sights on Trengove but that deal fell through when scans revealed he had more damage to his foot.

“We were all set to go in a lot of ways but the last scan just showed that it wasn’t looking quite as good as first thought,” Richardson said.

“We were disappointed about that because we did put a bit of work into that and Jack was, I think, pretty keen to come to the Tiges.”

I believe it failed & he (Hird) was at his wits end. I have a feeling I remember something like he found some locals with magic potion, & then eventually he got back to playing successfully.

It all works both ways. In many ways it always has, just there are some exceptions.

We owe Jack due respect and help with his injury. We DONT owe him a career per se, Fair opportunity perhaps, Guarantees ?? I wouldnt have thought warranted

Has anyone asked why we didn't know the full extent of his injuries and were just as shocked as Richmond when they were discovered? Has anyone explained this?

After playing on this injury for as long as he has, I'm not surprised that its not completely healed... I'm sure if Trengove is given more rest and rehabilitation time, then he'll over come this and get back to his best... I understand that we need our talented players to perform now, but this injury needs a patient approach.. If we rush he treatment and recovery again, then it's more than likely we'll never see him at his best... He's still very young and if we can move him to the rookie list, then we should put him on ice for two years and slowly build he back up...

Trengove at his best will be worth the wait...

Personally I wouldn't have traded him or even considered trading him, regardless of the depth of his injuries... I agree that we don't owe him a career or a guarantee of success, but we do owe him our loyalty and patience... He backed us in and I'm more then happy to back him in...

I am wondering whether Trengove wanted to go to the Tigers initially or felt betrayed that the Demons after being approached by the Tigers were willing to trade him.

I guess if you the club only values you 9 places in the ND then why would you want to stay with your club. Therefore he was resigned to joining the Tigers and told them he was looking forward to joining a club that actually wanted him.

What happens now at the end of 2015, when he is out of contract. Will we offer him another contract if his foot is better, or will he say stuff you, I want to go somewhere else.

I would say his faith in the Demons has been shattered and he will leave at the end of next year.

Do you blame him?

Not sure we will ever see this

Either he won't get to the level due to injuries taking their toll or if he does it won't be in a red and blue jumper

'it', doesn't hurt,  to reread our thoughts of Trenners potential trade,  back at that time.

#edit:  but maybe the title could be updated by the OP ?

    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.

    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
