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.

You're a funny bloke.  

You carry on about Hore, repeatedly denigrating him as though you think people need to be told something 20 times, because once won't do, and you now lord the Wagners, who are average depth players at best.

You must have missed my post where i said i am happy Hore shoved it right back at my face and lauded his performance. I will pot players when it's there, but i will also be the first to put my hand up when they play an exceptional game.

Again, not sure why have to repeat myself, but i will. The Wagners are depth i agree, but right thats all we've got, they played their role tonight and played it well.

Once we get Lewis, Lever, Jetta and May back Josh goes back to Casey, same as Hore.

If Garlett and Spargo both get some form together then Corey goes back to Casey.

This is the only thread I've read since the game finished.

It's more that you have to say the same thing ad nauseum.  It's tedious.

I think Josh needs to clean up his 1v1 work and tackling.

Heeney out bodied him to come in and mark in the forward line over the melbourne player who was lose - if he keeps heeney out we have an uncontested mark.

The high tackle and free-kick goal in the first quarter (i think) - he knew he tackled him poorly and hopefully goes lower next time.

As both were in the backline they stick out & i hate those sort of errors. I haven't seen enough of corey to make an opinion of him as yet.

This list is incomplete without former Melbourne great Steven Armstrong

I believe it's a Demonland rule that his name be raised in any discussion of undeserving premiership players.

mmmm, check mate there @Mega_Watts...

Josh will have to do a lot to win me over after the last couple of years... seems more of an athlete than a footballer.  Very happy for him to prove me wrong.

I see a bit more potential in Corey.  He’s a bit ungainly at times, but he has the knack of being in the right place at the right time and things tend to ‘happen’ when he gets involved.

Corey is a step down from Hannan, who I rate very highly.  There’s a spot for him in the team TIL hannan is back- hopefully he can make the most of it.

Josh may never be a star but in his first few games in 2017, he showed grit, determination, guts and a willingness to take the game on that suggested he could develop into a good defender. 

I prefer Josh over Corey but the two are tough hard players who relish the contest.

I prefer players like the Wagners and Spargo who have a real crack every week over others who go missing in action. 

They may be depth but they are important depth. 

Agreed  'Hem', and Josh gives us more mobility than we've had down back,  of late.   We were better on our feet in defence last night... actually more mobile across the ground, generally.

I echo what others have said about Josh. Had a really strong start to 2017 and has been unlucky not to play more senior games due to depth at his position. I think he's going to be important this year with Lewis potentially coming in and out (I think he will be rested). He doesn't have the experience and composure as Lewis but he does use the ball well when he's playing with confidence and competes well for his height as a third tall down back or higher HB. Can release guys like Hibberd and Jetta.

I think Josh could potentially be best 22 if he can have a consistent run at it. Obviously there's guys ahead of him at his position (Hibberd, Fritsch and maybe Hore). Main thing he needs to work on still as others have noted is his one on one body work. He's decent spoiling a contest when he gets a run at it but needs to use his body better one on one.

Wow. I can’t wait for both of them to be out of the side. We won’t beat a top-10 side while they’re in ours.

Josh Wagner is my least favourite player on our list, and I cringe whenever I see his name on the team list.

watched the game 3 times now, and thought it was maybe his bet game in our colours. Hard at it, good decisions (normally his biggest weakness), and very solid disposal.

Not at all a candidate for being dropped based on that effort.

Can you fit the Flower brothers somewhere? Imagine if Robbie's bro was half as good as him they'd top the list. 

We’ve had a lot of brother pairs over the years, Healy, Stynes, Viney, Cockatoo-Collins, McDonald (A and J) just off the top of my head. I’d love to know how many games each set played together. I’m guessing the order will be something like:

Febey

Healy

McDonald A&J

McDonald T&O

Viney

Flower

Stynes

Cockatoo-Collins

Wagner

@Supermercado?

The Wagners will almost certainly pass the Cockatoo-Collins score of 1 game together and equal the Stynes score of 2 next week.

I'd say you've just about nailed it,  maybe the Healy bro's swap with McDonald A n J?? 

Healys only played together 2 years and Greg missed a fair bit early in his career!

I think you’re right. I reckon Healys go below Tom and Oscar too. Oscar’s played 65 games, the majority of which would have been with Tom. Anthony and James McDonald debuted in the same year and were both regulars in the side from then on, but Anthony only played 100 games.

    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. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    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
