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.


Injury List - Season 2019

Recommended Posts

A real curse of the first rounders:

2010 - Lucus Cook - injured early but could never put on weight and was to be frank very ordinary

2011 - traded for Mitch Clark, had some good games then had 'issues'

2012 - Toumpas - nothing to say

2013 - Tyson and Salem - Tyson was very good in his first 2 years then faded and traded, Salem had Thyroid issues but has come good but it looked a little iffy for a while.

2014 - Tracca and Brayshaw - 1 ACL and the other with serious concussion issues, has now passed for both and they are establishing good careers.

2015 - Oliver and Weid - Oliver is the only one who hasn't had any issues (touch wood!!!), Weid had known hip issues then has been slow to develop

2016 - no first due to having 2 in 2015 (although our first pick that year Hannan is out with on-going knee issues)

2017 - Trade for Lever - Lever the does his ACL

2018 - Trade for May & KK - limited so far.

So of the 11 first rounders we've had or traded for since 2010, only 1 (Oliver) has got a pass mark from the beginning of their time with us, Salem, Brayshaw and Trac have come good, while Lever and May/KK still have time.

Actually I think we bought the batteries for Salem.

Didn't he have a thyroid problem the first couple of years and missed a lot of footy?

I was wrong on Salem - we did get to play with him and then he went haywire.

I was thinking of those players that have specifically gone down for a year before or at the start of first season with us. Frost was another. And we've already had two more this year in Nietschke and Walker - although the latter is like the present you get from your eccentric aunt and only get around to once you're bored of the other toys.

Pretty common for kids to get injuries adjusting to afl. Danger, Cotchin etc all had slow starts

Great post. Could also go to 2007-2009 as shockers as well. Remember Morton, Watts, Gysberts, Scully and Trengove.  Poor.

Preuss- 1 week

Tim Smith - 1 week

Viney - 2 weeks 

May- 3-4 weeks

Hannan 4-5 weeks

Maynard 4-5 weeks

Jkh 4-5 weeks

Lever 4 weeks

Joel Smith 6-8 games 

Jetta 10–12 weeks 

Kk indefinite

Vandenberg indefinite

Nietschke season

Walker season 

14 players out injured. 8 out of my best 22. Unbelievable.  Ridiculous.  It was perhaps forecast given prior years like 2000 where we were built up as premiership contenders. 

Footnote. Hawks have 3 players out of their best 22. Birchall, Frawley, Mitchell.  Who’s their fitness coach?

Fair enough question. Who's their Good Luck Coach?

The win yesterday was great for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being that we won with such significant injuries.  I have reduced the injury list by a week as this was pre-round 7

To have 9 of our top end talent back by round 11 will give the team a huge boost and hopefully help with a huge second half of the season.

I am unconvinced. Sadly as I think he was what improved us out of sight in the last six weeks of 2018.

I'm not convinced he'll be OK,  but I feel certain he will return soon.

Goody said,  or was it mr Misson,  that he will need to be monitored in future,  and most likely his loads managed, looking forward.

Yesterday’s win was ground out but it highlighted we are down 6-7 key players.  Need injury list reduced over the next few weeks.  Love to see Lever, Hannan, May, Joel Smith all available to line up after the bye round. 

Still doubtful we’ll see AVB back.

-At premium members function yesterday the Viney's were guest speakers. Jack referred to Todd as dad, then as the old man and finally started calling him Todd which was funny. 

Jack was questioned about whether he saw Stack and admitted he did and was happy to take him on. Post-collision was spent crouched on the ground assessing the damage. Todd stated that both May and Lever are ahead of schedule and he expects them back very soon. Jack is hoping to return next week as is Preuss.

Will be interesting to see who makes way as key players come back from injury, I'm thinking:

 - Kielty for Preuss

 - Oscar Mac for May

 - Lewis for Lever

 - Fritch for J Smith

 - Lochart for Viney

 - Stretch for Hannan

 - ANB for AVB

Kielty might get another run v GC this week with Preuss in the VFL.

Lewis could also stay in to free up Salem into the midfield/wing, but reckon he will make way for Lever unless Fritch makes way.

People think AVB will be back? ?

I certainly hope HE comes back

makes opposition defenders less sure, if we can change that by 20% it will give us much more scoring chances.  

isn’t it good to win !!

    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
