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.


The Jack Viney Made Me Cry Thread

I actually chuckled a few times at how he just went after the ball, bulldozing through multiple Crows players and they couldn't do a thing about it.  He decided he wanted the footy so he just went in and got it in a sea of players.

Like he just said  '[censored] it, I may as well hit top form second game back from a long layoff'.

There was a moment in the 3rd or 4th when Viney jumped on a loose ball and there were 4 Crows players surrounding, all within equal distance of Jack but they all stood back as if telepathically signaling to each other “nah.. you go in”

Ha!

He's definitely our most explosive midfielder. He showed that today. He just bullies opposition. His strength to get himself free from congestion is remarkable. He can only make the game easier for Oliver too. Boy oh Boy our midfield is good.

Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw, Jones, Petracca etc.

After the commentators had drooled over the size of Fogarty for the whole first half, to see Viney literally throw him off after picking the ball up was GLORIOUS. Somebody GIF it for me, pretty please!!!

His intensity is just b*llshit. Opposition players are legitimately scared of him! Not only was his intensity back today, so we his agility and burst pace. His sidestepping is top shelf, and if it doesn't work he just bulldozes through them anyway! So great to have him back out there.

Gawn, Viney, Oliver, Jones/Brayshaw is currently the best centre square midfield in the league.

Never thought I would be saying this but I reckon Harmes has earned a place on that list.

He's been building, and building his tank.  same with ANB.

Add some form into the team, and they all start to shine.

We are up and away atmo.

 

Some of the guys looked like tiring late in the 2nd Qtr; physically feeling the heat, and some mental errors later on after half time, from some experienced players from fatigue, including TMc.

I have to see out the game yet.  But it was a very good clinical win.  And the crows didn't show up, or we dindn't let them.  Our intensity was very good.

 

A danger game coming up against a struggling side that we should beat, and will be expected to beat.   That makes it a danger game, because of our recent mental attitudes in these type games.

Agreed. He's now gone past others on our list and has been a beneficiary of the general increase in standards across the board of performances over the past month

Maybe I’m imagining it but does Viney look like he’s faster over the ground than previous years? 

Played all last year with injuries. The plantar fasciitis was hurting him from the early rounds all the way through to the surgery, and then he came back underdone from that. He wasn't healthy at any stage last season.

Hopefully he can get back to 2016 form and even more. 

He also seems to have the best combination with Gawn, somehow with Harmes the other midfielder who reads Gawn well.

I always seem to notice Gawn literally putting it down Jones' throat. And then there is Oliver and Brayshaw

When Viney came back into the side his team mates grew in confidence. They have that extra spring in their step. As we  see the last 2 games, it is so noticeable  Gawny grew an extra 10 cm.  We can only be better with him in the side. Welcome back Champ.

Yes, I'd reckon that is the case and was thinking that with a few of his anti-Crows breakaways during the game. Seems like the layoff that he has endured brought on some other forms of training that assisted running speeds and faster take-offs in a straight line for the ball - watch out, Doggies, the Filth and others, he's on a mission to take this train to the end of the line - a premiership.

Gawn wins a lot of hit outs to advantage, so any midfielder playing with him is going to get the ball, but Viney and Harmes are the two I've noticed far more than others who nail the timing and get the ball straight from the tap on the run bursting to goal. Harmes kicked a goal earlier in the year from a hit out that was beautiful to watch.

All of the mids have improved their work with Gawn massively since the Hawthorn and Richmond games which were disasters in that regard.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
