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.

May and Petty to come in for OMc and Frost.

I'd like Keilty to come in, to chopout Maxy, and can play fore and aft...  or from the pine.   Not sure who would be the out for Keilty ?

Kolodjashnij  must come in he is a good user and we desperately need that. There is 3 must ins and 2 possible ins in J.Smith and Preuss.

KK will likely need some time in the 2s to build match fitness... 

J.Smith is out for 6 weeks.

I agree with KK in if he gets through tomorrow ok, although Dr D said he doesn't go hard at the pill.....(he must know more than us) KK's run & carry or anyone's run & carry will be helpful.....

J Smith out for 4 to 6 weeks so can't come in & Vanders I think will be another couple of weeks with stress relation ankle issues, I would think.

If Viney not fit then rest him (looked sore).....if Jones, who's obviously lacking fitness & looking after himself, 3 contested poss & 1 tackle, (he's our captain right?), back to Casey. CP needs a rev!

Give the young fella's another go & maybe some of our so called stars need a kick in the [censored]......oh also, Goodwin out coached  - we looked slow & unfit.

My bad. Sack Misson. Play Petracca at CHF AND TELL HIM TO RUN YOU LAZY BASTARD.. I'd like to see Jordon play another good user of the ball that we desperately lack. Hunt to be used forward his ball use isn't good enough to play half back.

We definitely have a problem with our fitness and KK probably won't help with that, but I'm willing to roll the dice and bring in good ball users. Our ball use is diabolical .Surely Jones, Viney and Gawn won't all have shockers on the same day again?

Didn’t stick a single tackle all game. As you said, can’t fault his endeavour, but we have to do better than that.

Also can't kick over a jam tin. Have a look at the guy for Doggies tonight. Just as small and runs in right spots and normally delivers by foot and hand to his own team mates. Understand he has been in for a few years but Spargo now is in 2nd year after nearly playing all last year and I see nothing in him that gives me any confidence. Hope I'm wrong .

Drop the Weid he needs to find form in the VFL. Time to play Petty he looked good in his limited time in the JLT.

well it certainly has been a dramatic fall from grace for the Weed .Last week he was a better key forward then Jesse and this week it is off to the VFL.Still seems our best bet at FF but dont expect another Hogan.

Not sure on KK needing 2 weeks in two's. We played 3 blokes today who didn't play a praccy game in one's at all and only Milkshake gave something. Jones and Viney, both Captains played NOT as Captains. KK will at least provide some run and delivery.

Upping it to one more out in the hope that KK and Preuss both come up trumps tomorrow in the magoos

IN: May, KK, Preuss
OUT: Frost, ANB, C Wagner

B: Jetta - May - Hore
HB: Hunt - O Mac - Hibberd
? Salem - Brayshaw - Jones
HF: Petracca - T Mac - Viney
F: Preuss - Weideman - Melksham
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes
I/c: Spargo - KK - Fritsch - Sparrow
Emerg: Stretch - Petty - ANB - Keilty

Unfortunately, Hunt has to be retained as he’s one of very few players we have with pace

Same for Spargo - he’s a midget but at least he competes for the footy, unlike ANB, who has looked terrible all year

Sparrow was good and holds his place

Viney and Jones looked way underdone, as did Jones - if a player can’t run out three quarters, let alone four, DON’T PLAY EM!

Did you see the Weid actually put in today. He was lethargic and basically didn't chase, tackle or give any effort out there today. Trust it was a bad one, put it away and play consistently like the game against Cats in Semi

I hope not Werridee.....

Other younger players get crucified for turnovers & yet our skipper does time & time again & it kills us! Today was probably one of his worse games I can remember & whilst he has been a soldier for us over many years, he needs to gain much needed fitness & form. This will represent great leadership.

We need JV & hope he can stay fit.....Gawny will respond!

A bit harsh on Wagner he's been better than Spargo.

Not overly impressed with Oscar and Hore getting a game they are useless. I would have to say any of those 3 in Frost, Oscar and Hore play we lose it at the selection table.

I'd keep ANB for 1 more week he was good last year hasn't found his feet this year but I'm willing to give him 1 more week.

Happy with the ins although I find it hard to see both Preuss and Weid producing in the same team.

Hore and Oscar need to go before ANB and Wagner, Petty should be in too.

I don’t know Werridee, is there such a position anymore? A few times today I saw T Mac and Weid lead up to the middle/half back for marks. When we won the ball off the pack we would go forward quick and suddenly realise we had no one to kick to especially in the last quarter. Imo, I’d have Trac deep and isolated as much as possible.

I don't know if hes fit,  has he trained the past couple of weeks, since the, what, groin ?

I'd like to see KK after a run with Casey.  And I'd prefer to blood KK into the team, when we have some good form.  So we don't throw him in the deep end, new club 'n' all.

 

May is an obvious in. I'd like Petty in as well...  together with Lewis, to General our defense, and knit it together.  Our back-line atmo, is in transition... as is the team, with the rule changes.  We need Lewis's experienced mind, at times like this.

Petty might be ready, surely as ready as Omc is.  Frosts upside is better than OMC's... when we have May in the side.   May makes OMc expendable.

Nope.  'TBA'... not  'TBC' .

Joel Smith (groin) – TBA *   To be announced.
Aaron vandenBerg (foot) – TBA *...    2 weeks to unload him,  then,  IF he settles down,  another 2 weeks or more to reload him,  before he plays a limited time game at Casey ... count it as 6 weeks.

So Jones and Viney are both unfit and missed most of the pre-season, but Jack gets a rest and Jones has to slog it at Casey. Right. Ok.

Not sure where or how they would fit him into the side, but if Keilty has a good game in tomorrow’s VFL practice match I’d could see him come in for a chop out for Max. 

Fingers crossed boys.

Id play him down back to replace Oscar. Surely he can't be any worse??

I’d like to think but there’s no way he’s playing down back with May and others to come in, he will have to find a spot as a FWD/Ruck

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
