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.

What's poor is bumping threads that welcome a player to the club just to [censored] can him.

He wouldn't have played if Kent, JKH and Kennedy hadn't been naughty boys, as you rightly pointed out elsewhere there is a gulf between VFL and AFL and Mitch strikes me as being good at one level but hasn't got the tools for the next.

And I don't agree with you on the bump.  The thread serves as a narrative on his journey at MFC, the good, the bad and the ugly.  It's lost (the narrative) if there are many threads on one player.  I like that you can look back over a players history in one thread as it tells his story. I think we should encourage it.

His disposal was bad but so was Wagner, ANB and a few more, because of our handball play on game plan disposal is the issue when we're missing a third of our top 22, it was not just White but think we should have played someone with more experience

We'll disagree then.

Obviously White doesn't deserve his own thread after his first game in 2017, but his performance can be highlighted in numerous other threads, i.e. the post-game autopsy, changes for next week, three word analysis, etc.

Bumping an old thread designed to welcome a player to the club is in poor taste.

That would be fine in a general "how do we think he's tracking?" sense, but directly after a poor game, you are defending posts of this caliber:

"He's very hodge like ain't he , great foot skills!!"

And it didn't much improve from there.

It's a [censored] poor bump. Plenty of threads to sink the boot in if posters feel the unwavering urge. A "welcome to the club" thread shouldn't be reserved for cheap potshots.

Hope the simpletons don't write of the new boys after what should have been a 10+ goal loss.  They played for Casey last night; not Melbourne.

 

Yes, the ball was butchered by both teams, especially us....I even questioned whether the balls were flat or off-stitched.

A couple of points

How do we know the three you mentioned were naughty boys, if this was the case they would be in the Development League to make a point

Your post is your opinion, others are allowed to disagree

Well people shouldn't be so ridiculous and describe low draft picks who haven't played a game as "hodge with elite foot skills"

1.  I was right, they were naughty boys.  And you were wrong on two counts - they were naughty and they didn't play in the development league.

2.  Of course my post is my opinion, who's do you think it would be? 

3.  Where have I said others can't disagree?

White didn't do himself any favours, but he was pushed into an AFL appearance he hadn't exactly earned/warranted through performance, but rather through pulling a Bradbury.

I think he simply wasn't ready for the speed of the game or the immense pressure from Syndey. He may never be, but I think he also deserves to not be written off just yet. Plenty have looked off the pace when elevated. If he plays well enough for long enough in the VFL, I'd give him another opportunity to test himself.

I dare say this taste will make him a better player in the long term. Whether that's good enough for AFL is another matter.

Good learning experience.  Now back to Casey to build the skills to work at this level as per his potential.

Nope.  He got caught out underestimating the closing speed of AFL players.  Give him another game to see if he can adjust.  Those kicks weren't off-target, he just didn't allow for them being intercepted so well.  If he can make that adjustment, his kicking can be a weapon.  If not, he's done.  Might a well find out now as later.

Fair call.  Would want him to get the message and show his learning at training before I picked him again.  His card isn't marked, but he needs to hit targets at speed and under pressure.

Was going to have a dig but read your post. Fair point.

Many players take several games at A level to adjust to the frenetic pace.

    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
