  • 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.

Now can you please say that again in a coherent paragraph?

Was typing quickly on my phone

If you don't like it don't read it rather than being a [censored] and adding nothing to the topic

Tim Smith, when I asked him, said yes to him playing on Monday

JKH was also training, but didn't get the opportunity to speak to him

From team last week Kent,  Weideman and Bugg were not training

Hogan looks primed to repay, outstanding session from him

Thanks Saty, appreciate the training news

Pedo have his usual 'im gonna kill you' facial expression or did he seem more upbeat?  if Smith is in, I doubt he'll even make the extended bench

True. But I'm not sure you're the best example setter of that..

Interesting info though.

I would genuinely like to see Tyson dropped. Don't like what he's offering our side and bringing in JKH for him sounds about right.

Ins: Hogan, Hibberd, Smith and JKH

Outs: Weideman, Hannan, Tyson and ?

Has there been any suggestion that Kent is injured? I find it hard to believe he'll be dropped. While I didn't think he was particularly good last week, I also didn't think he played badly enough to be demoted. 

PS: Saty, I miss your training reports.

Apart from the 3 already mentioned none of the 'Casey' guys were there either, game tomorrow night

And none of the walking wounded

Lewis did whole session

Just the usual quick ball movement drills and a bit of one on one tackling, spoilling, marking etc

Hogan did about 10 minutes goal kicking at the end

Possibly Melksham (Hibberd to fill his spot)?

Keep in mind that of the guys being discussed following Saty's observations this morning, one will be the emergency (unless there's a plan for someone to play limited minutes in the VFL on Sat night and be the emergency on Mon night).  Perhaps the emergency is Smith given his ability to play tall / small / forward and back.

Me "Bull, are you in on Monday?"

Bull "Yes"

Also Club may have circumvented this with early call, but Hibberd left the track early with a TV cameraman following him halfway to AAMI.park, nothing in it

'Highlights' from training

Nathan Jones and Clarry continually niggling each other during the drills, fun to watch

Nev Jetta beating Hogan in a one on one with what seemed to a nice nudge with the foreman, Hogan loudly proclaiming it was hands and being shouted down, much to everybody's amusement

And Hogan sliding on his knees in the wet towards the fence and at the very last millisecond putting his hands up and grabbing the fence, there were a few minor heart attacks amongst players, coaches and watchers. He casually got back to his feet

Hibberd's left foot

Some of the ball movement at speed in the wet, hardly a missed target by hand of foot

If we are going by on what you saw today then it seems 

Ins: Hogan Hibberd Smith JKH

Outs: Weideman Bugg Kent ???

I wondet who the 4th out? Surely it has to be Hannan? 0 tackles last week and had 1 good Qtr.

I really hope Kent isn't dropped.. I understand that he could be inconsistent at times but blokes like Melk and Hannan have stunk it up even more this year. Games like this is exactly where i could see Kent turning it on.

AFAIK Weideman Bugg Kent Tyson Hannan named in the extended Casey squad - take your pick.

Saty, does Brayshaw have a close relationship to Jones as he did year 1? 

I saw them together at the shops a few weeks ago so I would say yes.

Having said that I would be surprised if players would change friendships much over their careers (Carey and Stevens aside).

Was at training no Bugg Weideman or Kent    Tim Smith and JKH both there  asked Bull directly and he said Yes, missed JKH   not giving anything away cameras everywhere and the Richmond guy   recognised him from the few times watched their training

Thanks mate. You mean Smith is a definite inclusion?

And is Kent injured -- saw him named for Casey.  Would be very disappointed if he were dropped especially if (Goody's mate) Melksham stayed.

Of course it could all be smoke and mirrors, who knows with Goodwin,

No team announcement till tomorrow, but would have thought you would have to do the session to be considered

Got absolutely nothing when I asked about Kent

 

So Jesse was there then?

The whole team needs to do at least 2 hours!

The whole team needs to learn to play 2 hours, in the one game!

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
