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.

Yep. Got there a bit late but it was a very good session. Only JKH and Newton in rehab. No sign of Dawes,Spencer and obviously Brayshaw. Hogan looked concerned and frustrated with a knee issue and left the track early. Hopefully nothing sinister.                                    

Petracca is a beast with an aggressive 'Hogan like' attitude! Stayed on with a group of about 15, including a sharp Trengove,with McArtney barking the orders. Christian was the standout.

Was their briefly.  JKH still in rehab & training one on one with Crossy.  What a luxury to have.  Just shots at goal today (for JKH) with either foot....set shots and on the run. Ben Newton running, running.  No Spencer, Brayshaw sighted.Max King provided the highlight demonstrating his improving foots skills.  He had a low shot for goal on the run but almost missed the ball completely.  Improvement noted in that he didn't trip himself up and fall over.  Received much encouragement (?) from team mates....to take up different sport.  Trengove & Petracca training hard now.

Many thanks for the reports martin and jimcor.  Did either of you happen to notice whether Hulett joined in the main workout, and if so, how did he go?

Wagner looks assured and has excellent disposal.Reluctant unusually prominent and vocal.Hogan kept pointing to the medial ligament area dropped out a few times before going off.Oliver in everything.

Jesse Hogan gets some treatment on his calf during training. Picture: Michael Klein

http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/melbourne-prepare-for-expected-hot-conditions-with-match-practice-at-training/news-story/23fa9049a229b23ff2ce64c91d07243c

No need to worry it seems: 'Forward star Jesse Hogan was spotted having his left calf worked on several times throughout the lengthy session, which is routine for the 21-year-old, before engaging a club medico to work on his hip on the sideline'.

On another positive note: 'Young gun Christian Petracca played a part in the entire session - his second full session for the week after an interrupted pre-season thanks to a broken toe suffered while playing backyard basketball'.

Without that caption, it looks like he's done his knee and is in the hands of the trainers, twisted round in pain... nearly spewed.

(Maybe send that pic to Freo... he's not worth the risk)

I'd rather Hoges has nothing sore this time of year, given his history of back problems and the stupid decision to add bulk to his frame. Very glad he's not playing on Sunday.

Keen to see the skipper on Sunday with full strength in his arms and confidence in his neck. Not sure if he'll play back, in the guts or maybe float a bit around half forward and on the wing, but if Viney, Tyson and Oliver are getting first use from Gawn he might just get to bounce around a bit and get some more outside footy. Under pressure he still bombs it long but he's probably our best low and fast kick to a lead when bursting through the midfield so I want to see a bit more of that. Same with Bernie.

I think having Jones and Vince on ball will add a significant difference to our clearance rate - particularly effectiveness.

He's hardly looking like "Plugger", or a beefed up Templeton. I think this so called bulking up has been beaten up a bit and trust the club to know what they are doing with him.

Watching that reminds me of the time Jonathan Brown grabbed the bloke in a headlock from behind then flipped him to the ground and landed on top of him. He subsequently got off because he couldn't be charged with rough play as play had already stopped.

I'm not liking this Hogan "non injury" one little bit.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers.

Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    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
