    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.

My mate had a casual chat to Tom today. Surgery went well, he was not on crutches and seemed to be walking well and should be right for a full pre season.

Really?  We have 10 to 15 injuries and we've won our last two games, one against the Hawks who just knocked off the Giants.  I reckon our depth is doing pretty well.

Has Jack Viney done much with the main group? Hopefully he can play a JLT. 

I think I heard Melksham joined the main group which is positive. 

23 days to go!

26 Days until the Demons take the field for Round 1. 23 days until the Extended Bench team is picked for Round 1.

I don't believe that he has trained with the main group this preseason.

So i guess he has had no interruptions to his interrupted preseason.

Looks like all of Jones, Viney, May and Melk are good

Kolo Good for round 1 (probably VFL)

Lever Going great guns

Hannan seems terrible "Hopefully see him before the bye" ?

Nietschke done for the year obviously

Great result to have those guys back in full training with still 3 and half weeks until round 1!

Get KK right for the season.

Shame about Hannan but if he can get his knee 100% for the back end of the season he'll be cherry ripe come finals. He was playing through the injury in the finals last year so I reckon he can get to another level when fit.

That Kolo injury sounds nasty. Playing in round 1 at any level seems ambitious.

Hannan - not good, but I’m of the belief he’s been inconsistent since he’s joined up and played a lot of games bandaged up. It’s preseason so I’ll take the optimistic view that getting him fully healthy will be good for him.

Hannan could be a handy addition, much like AVB, in the second half of the season.  If you watch the highlights of the last 4-5 games of the season, which includes the finals, he was a key contributor in either scoring goals or being in a position to assist them.  With our depth I'd say he gets plenty of time to get himself right and put himself in the frame to make an impact come July or August.

Just wondering what is the official latest on Lever? At the beginning of the thread mentions mid season, after surgical setback. I realize he is currently in the USA doing that rehab course, which has been very successful with others i believe...

I hope they don't do any rushin with Kade, after his osteitus tendon injury.   Let him ease the way back. 

I don't mind if he misses the Rnd1 and Rnd2.   Just get him 100% first...  at his new club.  

He is coming off injury issues and broken chains of games.   Lets not risk his long-term well being with us,  just for an early start in 2019.  It's not worth it.

 

Get him absolutely 100% right,  before he plays any senior games.

It feels like this preseason we've had way more guys starting slow and recovering from surgery, not to mention a few injuries thrown in. Anyone else concerned heading into the season? I've got a slightly uneasy feeling about it all. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid!

Addressing these issues (with surgery at various levels of depth) and more gentle and time-consuming training/readiness agendas in place, it is better for the whole team to have dealt with these requirements prior to the start of the season or, for example, midway through the season, or by largely overlooking or even ignoring latent problems in/with players where these could well fester, leaving a severely handicapped depth listing nearing the end of season - when we should be knocking off other finals aspirants without mercy or concern. Notice - ameliorate - fix - prepare - test - win responsibly.  A good footy mantra.

With all of the justified concern over player fitness and team depth this coming season, ain't it just going to be amazing and inspiring when they all hit the ground together for the first time, and line up on match day as a totally unbeatable team of great footballers with immense team pride and interactivity.

The bad news:

  • Lever - another 3 to 4 months.  That suggests a return to the field just before or after the bye ie round 12, 14.  Hannah another 2 to 3 months.

Not so bad news: 

  • KK - 3 to 4 weeks away.  Garlett avoids surgery but is 4 to 6 weeks.

Good news:

  • Jones, May, Melksham and Viney are cleared of previous injuries and all expected to play some form of football this week.

Is it just me or has Hannan being out for half a season just come out of nowhere?

Fingers crossed they get this round of rehab right and he comes back fit. As with others above, I feel he has been consistently hampered with knee problems.

What they decided was as he was going to get one knee done, they may as well fix both up, hopefully to end his knee issues

Unfortunately the 'worse' knee had a bit of a hiccup and he had to have a small procedure post Xmas

Club believes in fixing the issues completely or hope to, no matter how long that takes

He has, like Vanders, been working his butt off in the gym, so core strength will be even better than ever 

He starts his preseason on legs next week, hence the timeframe

Most of the others rehabbing were either small procedures or not leg related and were able to get the k's in

Hence Oliver's performance post an 'interrupted' pre season

Viney has had a few drills with the main group over the last couple of weeks

so with Hannan being out for a while, and now Garletts injury, who would be next in line as a goal sneak/small fwd option for us? Bedford, Chandler, or heaven help us, C.Wagner or JKH?

also can we still use our last draft pick* to get a player like that, or has the window shut on that option?

edit- *spot on our list may have been a better term.

Spargo, ANB and Melk can all play the small forward roll

    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,

    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
