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.

No disrespect Dub, but we've gone from a rumour that 'stuie' heard/read about Kent's back (source unconfirmed, possibly via Facebook) , to you jumping to issues about his hamstrings, to this...

Offseason is alive and well!!!

I contributed information I heard from someone told directly by an assistant coach.

You're welcome to do the same.

Stuie, while I did question your source, it was more pointing out that it was part of a chain of events that went from a general rumour (which may in fact be true), to Kent having another hamstring related injury.  Just highlighting how a rumour can get twisted so much, so quickly, with so little solid information.

FWIW, if I had solid information to pass on, I would do it, and I don't need your permission to do so.  Good day.

Have heard Maynard has been impressive in the match simulation. Very quick and clean hands.

I am also intrigued with Maynard. He is seriously a pretty solid unit already. Wonder what role we have for him at Casey.

no disrespect felt.  was just mentioning the possibility of the back being hammy related as can be the case and esp as Kent did a bad hammy a while ago.  must be in my Melbourne supporting DNA to think worst case scenario

I didn't go but have been told snippets of info.

Like I posted earlier Maynard had very quick and clean hands in the match simulation they were doing.

Jordan Lewis very big on directing players how to create space. Was ordering Oliver to keep running to create space in the match simulation. Were a couple of other examples about it that I have forgotten but the message I got was Lewis (and Macca) both yelling at people to keep running to create space.

Hunt's burst away pace was scintillating but we all knew this.

I think hammies can be back related but I'm not sure backs can be hammy related if that makes sense. This back injury could be a blessing in disguise as they might be forced to fix his core for good and then prevent any future hamstring problems. If it becomes an ongoing problem that's a concern, but I'd take him missing a few weeks to start the year now over doing a hammy mid season. Fixing the back/core to prevent hamstrings is hopefully what they've done with JKH over the break.

For such a quick and physical player Kent's forward pressure/tackling is quite bad as well so maybe a bit more time with core strength and agility could help him as well.

They have been trialling as a mid, watched him bash and crash the other day

His progress will be very interesting as a mid coming from basketball with little to no footy for however long to get a rookie B gig. I'm not sure how the fitness levels translate. There're plenty of examples of successful mids with basketball backgrounds, but none that I know of that weren't also playing footy.

For someone that stands 191cm tall thats a decent size for a  mid.

 They are thinking  maybe     decent size, good hands and ability to work in close  from basketball    let's have a look  Joel Smith is more your outside player but if Maynard can improve at same rate another small triumph for Recruiting Dept

Back related hammies refer to a slight vertebrate shift causing pressure or a pinching of the nerve, Then you feel hamstring  pain when really there is nothing wrong with the hamstring. Some thing  a Chiro could easily fix. but then you have to fix the vertebrate muscles or find out what caused the vertebrate shift.

Skills32. I don't post often but seriously mate if you are going to be dropping medical insight make sure you're qualified. 

That is the worst description of a back related Hamstring that I have ever heard. The only thing you got right is "pressure.... of the nerve.....you feel hamstring pain when really there is nothing wrong with the hamstring" 

The rest is absolute nonsense.

"Vertebrate shift"? What is that? Is it a animal with a backbone moving?

Disc pathology, ligament inflammation or compression, muscle derangement all possible causes of neural compression.

You can decide if I'm qualified or not.

While people who have lower back issues commonly have referred pain to lower limbs and also can experience lower limb muscular issues most commonly hamstring but also calf .

as someone wrote having had significant issues with his hamstring does not predispose to back issues 

let us wait and see I would be more concerned if it is a back related issue it is more likely to be a stress issue/fracture. Which needs rest and would fit in with time line put forward although if so may be longer 

all conjecture obviously let us wait for some official confirmation

    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
