  • 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 father told me a long time ago AAC that thoroughbreds get injured donkeys run around all there lives with no problems.

Not all donkeys run around all their lives with no problems, this poor lass got hit by a car last week in Addis Ababa (apparently sitting and waiting in vain for first aid to arrive):

Broken toe was the initial injury as I remember. Foot injuries are shocking things to get over. With our luck the operation will have failed and he will start taking photos.

Roosy will have to line up at CHF soon enough. At least then his messages will get to the players.

How the Fark does a player returning from one hammy go and do his other hammy? Wtf is Misson doing.

he's experiencing failure that's what

we've had half a side out for the whole effing year

there HAS to be something more to it than bad luck

Salem disappointment aside, how long does it take to return from a broken toe?

Frost has been out for nearly 2 months now, throw in Kent (who's hammy was a big one i know), many of our injured players' are not recovering within the appropriate time-frame. This should not be acceptable.

Misson is definitely one who has escaped the blow torch with his performance. If it was Bodhan 'whatever his name' is, demonland would be calling for his head..

Maybe it's time we started looking for a new performance manager.

This is one item that is absolutely impossible to assess from outside the club. Injuries and recovery are such a dynamic thing, there are so many factors that influence them and one of them is just pot luck. Don't know how you could ever say from the outside who was to blame, if anyone. The evidence is only ever circumstantial.

Hell, I'm not even really sure how you'd do it from inside the club unless you were a fitness expert yourself, or obvious gross negligence was at play (which I highly doubt). By hiring another external expert to review it all, I suppose.

Maybe it is impossible to assess Nasher, and maybe it's extremely simplistic of me. Is it too much to expect 'elite' results from our 'elite performance manager'?

No, of course the club should expect elite results from its elite performance manager. But who's to say we're not seeing elite results, and that it's just been bad luck, or other unidentified (from the outside) influences? That's my point.

A small injury list might be indicative of good performance, but a large injury list isn't necessarily indicative of a poor performance.

Our players never tend to return on time.

There's clearly incompetence on some level - whether that's performance management, communication or otherwise remains to be seen.

Our injury list has been fairly average though tbf, though that may be because our true a-graders have so far remained fit.

Everyone was praising Mission for our healthy list in the pre-season, only Petracca and Trengove were on it.

Now we're blaming him for the injuries that our players are getting which every team gets. Before comparing our injury list with St Kilda's one, how about we compare our's to Brisbane or Gold Coasts!

We have first year players missing whole seasons. Players getting repeat injuries which ruin careers (Tapscott, Blease, let's hope not Salem).

How on earth is a player allowed to go so hard on a hamstring injury that they go and injure the other hamstring?

How many of our players have done hamstrings? VandenBerg, Kent, Salem * 2. It's adding up.

Don't get me started on Dawes 4 year old calf injury.

Misson has does a [censored] job for years. I can't remember one season since he has been employed that we have had a good injury run.

The relatively poor injury situation goes back beyond Misson. Maybe 2000 was the last time we had near zero injuries?

I think some blowtorch should go into Mission. This year we seem to have guys who are having repeated hamstring injuries. Not forgetting also Benie Vince and Jeremy Howe who both re injured their hamstrings during the pre season aswell and missed a huge chunk of it.

Any more hamstring issues this year and Misson will have explaining to do. 6 and counting is a big number

How do people suggest we stop our hamstring injuries?

And what is Mission doing/not doing that is affecting this positively or negatively?

This is a genuine question.

I kind of feel that it is kinda just bad luck, but happy to be proven otherwise. I'm a teacher, not a physiotherapist, sports scientist etc.

Song. Tend to agree but we need some genuine expert input here (not the usual Demonland I know, he said etc stuff)

Could it be that under the new regime the players are pushing themselves harder?

I don't think it's just hammies, to be honest. I think people are more starting to get concerned about the fact that we repeatedly have an extensive injury list full of players with mystery injuries that don't seem to get better in any reasonable period of time.

A timely article by Garry Lyon on injuries:

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-injuries-the-hurt-factor-that-no-one-wants-to-talk-about-20150612-ghmghg.html

According to AFL injury list (a few minor changes since publishing):

Brisb 18, Cats 16, Suns 14, Saints 1, Dees 7 (list adjusted for Dawes/JKH in and Garland out), Others 4 to 9

Ours are Garland, Vandenberg, Trengrove, Salem, Petracca, Kent, Frost

I see every reason to be very conservative with their recovery.

If we rush them back players breakdown again sometimes with dire results (Trengrove/Clarke).

Player welfare is also an issue...a quote from Judd this week: "... he recently literally felt nauseous at the thought of having to play sore."

I like that we are looking after our players especially the young guys.

Misson and medics are doing fine!

On the positive side it gives experienced players a chance to show why they should stay on the list and new recruits a chance to get a taste of AFL.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
