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.

I wonder if he would have just as much impact or if the fact that he can come in for short bursts means he has a greater impact in the game.

I think his output would only drop if he is struggling with his endurance ie cannot get to enough contests, too fatigued to jump when tackled to free his arms, that sort of thing.

Valid points CB and  AKA - unless he were to find that undetectable "something" that allowed Cousins to run all day +++ in the GF 2006 or 2007. 

Of course all things are undetectable if unsought, and if indeed such were detectable then swept under some magic carpet somewhere.

Can someone please make a GIF of that handpass to Jones who then kicked the goal from his left foot?

Had to slow down and enlarge to see properly.

They were talking about this stoppage on "Access all arears" - Saints outnumbered us 7 to 4 at this contest. Doesn't matter how many opponents are at the contest if you draw 4 players to you and still get away a "sublime" handball that Jones could run onto at full tilt.

His hands are absolutely sublime.

OCTOBER 21 2015

"Melbourne have utilised both the new points-based draft system and the introduction of future pick trading to take a huge plunge into this year's national draft."

 

And now we can see why.

If I was the Saints coach I would also be giving Hickey a bake - even though Watts didn't really get much of a hand on the ball, to allow a second string ruckman ( shorter and lighter) to out body him, get front position and thereby allowing the ball to spill out the back was poor. Hickey had one job and that was to get the ball defensively to the front of the pack.

Watch the lead up to ANB's goal in the last and tell me how Max lost that ruck contest to Ross. Happens to the best of them

haha it's not as bad as that "3rd man up" with Vickery and Hartung. Such a stupid way to implement the rule.

sorry..you need to drive to "Stupid" and then go about 50 kilometres past for that decision. 

That decision was only second behind the decision  for gross stupidity in the JLT where the ball was thrown in short from the boundary and hit one of the onballers on the back of the hea who was waiting in front of the ruckman  and he was free kicked against for third man up .....

He did a similar one at a critical moment in the memorable victory vs Hawks last year.  He has fantastic vision and execution.

If you watch the umpire segment on afl website they explain what happened and it was the correct decision, omeara took the ball up before that with vickery there so the umpires ask someone to nominate who is taking the ruck and if no one puts there hand up then no one is allowed to go up, so it's upto the players to sort it out I like the rule I think it's good for us as when gawn is well on top like Saturday st kilda couldn't even change things up by sending 3rd man up

Watching the reply I was looking for a moment when we turned the game around. To me, it was with about 12 minutes to go in the second, with what resulted in Weideman's beautiful running goal. The catalyst was Oliver, scooping the ball up and shooting off the first in what was a seamless chain of handbills, moving us into the 50m arc and setting up the Weed. Champagne football and a sign of the glory to come.

Still my favourite piece of play. One handed against a 3 time premiership player. Impressive

Anyone want to have a crack at what Lewis is thinking in this clip?

    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
