  • 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.


Training -  Thursday 20th July, 2017


What

Recommended Posts

Date: Thursday 20th July

Time: 9.45am

Location: Goschs Paddock

Tests for Viney, Watts, Salem and Tyson...  and Jonesy only 1-2 weeks away, possibly joining in the full session.

Most important training session of the season, for sure.  Hopefully we have some eyes on the ground with updates and that all those 'tests' can get through and face Port.

I'll be there, should be an interesting morning.  McQueen, I think you're one Misson report behind - the lastest one has Salem being right to play if he gets through tomorrow's test.

The guys from The Dee Brief were there filming live to Facebook.

They said Viney was not training with the main group so unlikely he will play.

They are saying he is doing some testing to the side, so there might be some hope

Seems to conflict with this info.

Just back from training.  Viney did extensive testing with Crossy and then joined the main group and looked fine.  I'd be amazed if he didn't play.  Watts, Tyson and Salem with the main group from the start.

Word was that Garlett won't play.  He wasn't at training today.  It's speculation only.

We were asked to leave today (which I did).  First time that has happened.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened whilst I was there, usual drills - agility, ball handling and movement inside 50.

Just back from training.  Salient points:

- Viney did a series of run throughs with the fitness staff, initally in track shoes and then changes to his trusted Puma boots (with orthopedic inserts.  He then joined in main training and participated fully.  Didn't look to be restricted.

- Salem, Watts and Tyson all participated fully and didn't show any signs of being hindered

- Jones participated fully from the start but I didn't see him kick with his right leg (not to say he didn't, but I didn't observe it)

- Bugg is back from time away from the club and participated in training (as did Vince)

- Brayshaw has seemingly adopted the head protection gear and looks set to resume

- no sign of Kent, Van den Berg, Garland or McKenna.  Filipovic was doing ruck skillwork with Daniel Cross and Gref Stafford

The main training session saw an intense focus on contested work.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
