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.

Tom Browne on Talking Footy reported earlier that Gawn was in hospital last week for a day procedure under general anaesthetic.

Not sure if ti's true, and if it is not sure if that impacted upon his preparation or his fitness.

Has anyone else heard anything about that?

Edit: given there's an entire thread on it, I suppose so. My bad.

Yeah it’s true and I’d say it would’ve impacted his fitness.

I got told last night at a family dinner and was surprised that he actually played after receiving that information.

Its nothing serious and it won’t affect him this weekend.

I haven’t been under a general since I was a kid but I’d say it takes a few days to be back to normal, which I probably say why he wasn’t at his best.

No need for the quotes - and this is one of the reasons people suffer in silence, often until it's too late.

Disgusting.

You obviously haven't read any of my previous posts about mental illness in football. I have stated previously I grew up with someone who suffered severe mental illness which impacted not only on themselves but on everyone in their family, including me. In those times there was no help, even if it was sought for. In my previous posts I made the point I feared too many footballers citing mental health problems when they made poor choices in their social life would cause the public to become cynical and feel less sympathy towards the everyday people who suffer mental illness. So what do you find disgusting? How dare you.

The rule change which was most difficult to train for is not having Runners during play.  In the first 3 quarters there were large gaps between goals which limited Goodwin's opportunity to impact the play.  And in the last qtr there were only 3 goals which again limited the coaches ability to make positional changes, get messages out etc.

With Lewis out, Viney on for only 2 1/2 quarters, Max focused on staying on his feet and Jones with his perpetually limited on - field nouse, we had no-one looking at the 'big picture'; marshaling the troops to support each other etc.  The result was 22 players playing largely as individuals; the antithesis of teamwork and the 'esprit de corps' we pride ourselves on.

We can change team selections but I don't know where our on field leadership is going to come from.

The no runner rule may be the one that hurts us the most and probably the hardest to counteract.

On this point, I watched several of the other games from Round 1 as well attending our match and watching the first 3 quarters of our replay. 

The broadcast of most games showed the benches several times with the runners holding up various signs with some fairly obvious meanings (such as Port with their “10” speed sign indicating 10 minutes left in the quarter).

Either our signs were not shown on the broadcast (and I was behind the interchange at the actual game so I couldn’t see there) or we didn’t have anything other than the runner and a sign to indicate player numbers for rotations. 

Anyone know what we were doing signal wise for plays or tactics? (If anything?) 

If we’re not running with any kind of signal system from the interchange bench could that have contributed to our poor showing?

I'm two minutes from 3Qtr time in the replay. Petracca just missed a snap for goal to put us ahead... I turned it off at that point because I know what happened next, but we were still in a winning position very late into the third. The point is that our efforts in the final Qtr are what really stood between a win and a loss. That is where our focus needs to be in fixing things... yes, I know we were shown up by not bringing more physicality to the game from the outset... and we didn't adjust to the PA team tactics against Max, however, this is fixable!

If Jones had held his dropped mark in the fourth and converted the shot (he's a good set shot from that range) the margin would have been 3 points early in the fourth.

In the blink of an eye 3 became 15 and I'm sure confidence across the ground sagged.

I suppose that means we were kind of in it even into the fourth?

That is exactly right. Critical moment. I still think they would have gone on to won but you never no. To be honest though we were lucky to be as close as we were when jonsey fluffed that mark.

I have played a few days after a general & was way off the pace of the game, just couldn't get going at all.

If this is right it would have had a big effect on Max's game.

The rubbish 50 to Gray late in the third and Jones brain fade, and we could have been in front. Amazing when aside from Salem no other player played four quarters and most of the team were abysmal! Yet we weren’t totally out of it.

Fingers crossed for a lot better display against the Cats. Hard to see us winning after round one, but we can only hope and support the team.

Go Dees!!

Well That Was Bad!

I am going hold fire on the criticism this early in. I will wait for a body of work so I reckon about Rd 5 or Rd 6 I will have a sense of what the hell they are trying to do this season.

So I, will see you all, round 5 or 6 hopefully with a better reaction then....Well That Was Bad!

So we compounded the problem of taking in players with low preparations by taking in one Ruckman who spent 3 days in hospital and was under the weather from GA . Sounds we blew the game at the selection table.

No, it's not the only measure. Corralling would be another (do Champion Data record this?). McDonald doesn't lay many tackles, I agree, but I think generally when we're playing well, our mids, half forward and small/tall forwards are laying tackles, as evidenced by being the best in the comp for inside 50 tackles.

I think if you had to pick out one metric to measure forward pressure then turnovers would be probably it (though - again no single metric is likely to give you a complete answer).  Genuine question - do you know how we fared with Forward 50 turnovers last year?

Lol. Ah Melbourne, just when you think we've turned a corner..  . it's smack bang into a brick wall. 
So it appears Gawn was in hospital for some treatment last week. Some 'skin" thing but who really knows...club full of [censored] 
So we go in with at least two UNFIT, two suspect with feet problems, only ONE ruck...(recovering ) and too many who can't hit the side of a barn from 30 !!
Such a clever team ?

I know as of July last year we were ranked #15th In the competition for scores from chains beginning in the forward half. Perhaps, this is a telling stat, but I think it might be skewed by the bombing, frenetic inside 50 play that saw us accumulate constant forward thrusts, off the back of our clearance dominance.

Thanks A F, I think that is what Hinkley was probably referring to then.  Clearly this wasn't helped on the weekend with so many players underdone and out of gas towards the end of the game.

So there's been a few chuckles and back and forth on Petracca's apparent weight issues.

It seems unfathomable that in this day and age of football professionalism CP5 would be that undisciplined or that the footy department might have allowed such a lapse or otherwise mismanaged his program.

Sometime after puberty, the body evidently goes through another stage of transition toward greater 'manhood'. I'm still waiting personally, but could it be that Christian is going through this prematurely and at a rapid pace? 

I now concede that he appears unusually bigger, but not athletically out of shape or unfit per se. It may be tricky to manage such a state and find an optimal balance until the hormones settle into a specific shape.

Or is it really just too much pizza and Maltesers?

Goodwin is joking surely.  1. We wished we would’ve have more time to prepare”. That means missing September.  

2. Good teams back up. They “Are” ready to play. 5 months of preseason.  Suspension and injuries (aside from Viney) were in preparation. No excuses. 

We lost the contested footy and couldn’t handle it.  And they missed Wines. 

Simply we expected to just turn up. Where was the support for Gawn. We need Preuss May VBerg in to match the physical teams. 

Port were worthy winners. They should have won by 40+.

1. He was, not to obliquely, referring to the rules that dictate the leave players must take which critically reduces the time fitness and football staff have to rehab and condition players.  For us it was approx 3 months of preseason (incl JLT) in a 6 month off season.   

I think Goodwin used the words '...the amount of time we were given...'.  Goodwin always chooses his words carefully;  imv there was a clear message there for the AFL/AFLPA.

2.  True - Hawks, Cats, Swans are battle hardened teams.  But its often said that players need 4 to 5 solid preseasons to become an AFL hardened player.  Of Saturday's team only Jones, Jetta, Gawn and maybe Melksham and Hibberd are in that category.  The rest have had several interrupted preseasons or just not had enough of them. 

 

The shorter preseason, clearly impacted all 4 Prelim teams.  Only Rich won but they were playing last years wooden spoon team.  They also are largely a 'battle hardened' team.

It also reduced our ability to practice tactics for the new rules.  Three of our senior players didn't play with the rest of the team in practice/JLT games so their ability to show leadership and implement those tactics was limited on Saturday.

Add surgeries and other injuries to the mix and our ability to get the team 'battle ready' was severely hampered.

Port had 4 months of preseason with most players healthy and most 'battle hardened'.  The difference was stark.

Our players will get conditioning in the next month.  I just hope that their injuries don't reoccur or have setbacks because they came in underdone. 

Not sure the selection committee had many options.

This ties in with the points that have been previously made about our list demographic.

Port's key players (Boak, Ebert, Gray, Ryder, Watts, Westhoff) are all far more experienced, with more pre-seasons under their belts, than our key players (many of whom have barely played 50 games).

Posters bagged Petracca all pre-season saying he looked heavy. To all those posters you were 110% spot on. He looked to be moving like the OX post ACL. It is obvious Petracca needs to slim down and regain some explosiveness, otherwise he is only just a VFL player.

I want Alf Stewart to put up another post like this one.

Looks like a body builder, i.e. muscle bound and slow. Also has no tank. One decent effort and he takes minutes to recover. Number 3 pick going nowhere at present.

Just looked at the stats we had one of the most inexperienced sides of the round quite amazingly...average 76.1 games per player that's less experienced than Carlton's rd 1 side!

 

Lewis being replaced with a first gamer would have contributed largely to this of course.

If that is the case we have achieved some serious over achieving last season.

Puts things in a bit more perspective. While many think we are premiership contenders, its easy to forget we are still a fairly young and inexperienced side who is still growing on field. Proves we are still going to have teething problems this year.

They made this blue a few times last year. They need to review their selection policies.

Its not necessarily that. It's that our experienced players were terrible. Their young players were the cream unlike us where we were relying on young players to do the job. 

Jones, Viney, Gawn, Hibberd, Jetta et al were well down on form. Frost & OMac were disgraceful

    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.

    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
