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.

I can add to this story. For the last few years, a mates son Charlie Allen has been the club "Load Manager". What that meant was, he monitored all the players training and health needs, in particular, the GPS units on their backs. He organised blood tests, fitness assessments and whether they were actually doing the work Mission set them. Some stories I cannot tell but Charlie was keeping them honest and kept a keen eye on their activity on and off the field.

After the season Charlie was offered fewer hours and eventually let go. He was headhunted by the firm that imports and manages those GPS units as he is one of the few people in Australia with so much experience with the units, their data handling and what it all meant. It was good for Charles as it meant a much better job, greater prospects and more money. He was also good enough to give me all his MFC merchandise, pity we changed sponsors.

I have no idea if the club replaced him but his C.V. is impressive and he worked in Canberra with the A.I.S before he came to us and with his number of degrees etc I doubt someone of his expertise would just walk in off the street. It may just be a coincidence but there is enough FUGAZI to suggest some players had a good long Christmas and I ask who was monitoring them as the club no longer lists a "Load Manager" position.

I also think one of the reasons the sky is falling down with a few injuries is because of a severe lack of depth and a game plan that stinks.

Collingwood last year had a horrific injury list last year that would send this site into meltdown if it was us. GWS also. I think the difference there is they can have bodies come in and play a role because they are educated exactly on the game plan. We have a guy debut or come in and they’re either genuine VFLers or got no idea how to follow this BS zone defence 

Agree, but this comes back to our poor list management and recruitment and a poor strategy around this.

I was very alarmed when Simon Goodwin publicly said something along the lines of 'we don't have inside or outside players in our team'. The best teams do.

Culture is everything. The way Melbourne is playing completely indicative of poor culture. If these stories are true reflect very poorly on team leaders. As for McCartney probably call it as he see it (good on him) and the precious players who revolted against the camp once again throw their toy out. These performances and stories really make it hard to support this club. You can wear losing but these players have no connection with the pain of the supporter group.

God I wish Roos still wanted to be a senior coach. This club is a shambles that has been held together by the glue that was Jackson and Roos. 

Both are gone now and it feels like we are slowly slipping back to our old pathetic ways.

JUST watched On The Couch and Roosy and Lyon reiterated a little of the above, but also said tht we commit to the footy too much. As in, we have too many players going to the ball carrier, which allows sides to get free numbers on the outside. It’s pretty accurate. That, coupled with a lack of leg speed and poor i50s makes us the worst side in the comp right now.

 

 

Not to mention that old chestnut of 3 or 4 MFC players going up for the mark (Or 2 for the mark and 2 spoiling them) and no one staying down to crumb the goal or mop up in defence

Spot on Jackson and Roos dragged this club to a year of respect. Where we are now is a footy tragedy particularly if the rumor of dissent with McCartney are correct. Healthy organisation sort issues internally. Even if McCartney is the Atilla of coaching his white anting in the media reflect poorly on those involved. If this is the organizational culture where stuffed. There need to be mechanism where differences can be discussed and sorted if they don’t exist that poor if they do exist and players find it easier to white ant then culture will be destroyed. Mr President or should I say Mr Invisible better get on top of this cancer.

Higgins is ok but nothing special.

Its still early days D11.

The point isn't whether it was Higgins, the point is I thought we should be taking a couple of small forward/rovers with some foot speed and skills. Over the course of a couple of seasons.

And at the same time,  look for the same attributes of run, speed + skill in the midfielder type/size...  to add to our centreline player stocks.

 

Over the past 4 seasons or so, was IMO the time to go this way .  This is why I am so up in arms with paying 2 First Rnd picks for Lever.

We should have stayed with an offer for Lever, of a future 1st Rnd pick +  our 2nd Rnd pick from that draft year.

Tom Morris reported on The Couch that Brendan McCartney is creating issues with the club and that he and Simon Goodwin relationship the past couple of weeks have been robust. He is also the defence coach along with Chaplin and ghat there seem to have been a breakdown of relationships between McCartney and the players.

Tom Morris is a little grub though.

Similar story did the rounds last year. Remember the one about Macca being banished to the bench.

Smoke/Fire? Maybe.

Goody is a young coach, they all pretty much come in headstrong with their own ideas. Often inflexible...

The club plays a role & is responsible for putting the right people around the coach. It can't be solely the coach's call, the last thing we need is yes men...

The coaches who make the grade learn to listen. The ones who don't listen fall by the wayside.

Which will Goody be?

Hmm. Not sure what to make of this. We've talked about drinking bath water for a while. Could our guys seriously be stupid and arrogant enough to think they'd done enough last year? Are you [censored] kidding me?

Although I love him, I find it hard to rely on anything Roosy says, because his own legacy is tied up in Goodwin's success. It's a lot easier to put the blame on the players.

Of course though, it could be both things. Roosy sticking up for Goody AND some players coming back unfit.

I'd love to know who came back unfit. I hope they're not being played right now, when guys like Stretch, by all reports, are terrific, professional trainers and last a week in the seniors before being dropped again.

Maca is still on the bench,  this year.

IF there were serious issues between Maca and Goody,  or with players last year,  why was it we went so well in the 2nd half of 2018 ?

 

Maca went well as a developing coach with the Dogs... prior to being head coach there... and they won a flag with Beveridge...  Meaning Maca developed those kids fairly well,  me thinks.

Maca was also the development coach at the Catters for years,  and they certainly did very well around, and after his tenure,  at the Cats.

 

Nutshell, I don't think Maca is a bad issue.

Possibly he (maca) is putting the blame at the feet of the Players.   Is how I might speculate it.?

Talk about jumping at shadows.

Yeah, but it's the most obvious piece of commentary. We've all been saying this for it seems like years now.

We're so easy to coach against, because our players are told to hunt the ball. It's so rare our mids actually commit team acts like shepherding or blocking. The game plan from the contested situation has always seemed to be 'we'll back ourselves to win the CP'.

It's why we regularly lost the UPs, but were happy as long as we won the CPs last year.

The modern game surely shows you need a pretty good balance of both.

Yes, but usually, this sort of stuff actually needs to come out. I remember when many on here said similar of The Age's reporting on Schwab. If it's causing such disharmony, maybe something needs to be done.

Whatever the case, we need some bloody good leadership at the moment. We can't get it on the field, hopefully we have it off it.

We coped extremely well in 2017 when we had a couple of really important outs. Our system that year was working. We didn't always bring the work rate and were inconsistent. Now, you look at the stats and watch our games, and you'd have to say it's the reverse.

And the reason Collingwood could plug and play, is their system is far superior to ours.

I know I bang on about system a lot, but it's so clearly the issue right now. Yes, fitness plays into it and work rate, but system is the chief villain in our woes.

Jetta is the worst offender at this. He's a small that constantly goes up to spoil when he should be at ground level. I love him, but he rarely impacts these contests. Hibberd's the same. I can only think the instruction is to back yourself to kill the contest. The problem is, we rarely do.

Ok, the Jetta injury

Nev felt a bit sore in the knee and in the interests of the team pulled himself out of the Sydney game

Had a scan back in Melb, all clear, trained fully Wednesday and Friday

As mentioned previously a St Kilda player caused the new injury

Now 3 guesses where I got that info from

And as for the unfit at pre season start for a few players, absolute toss, Misson didn't even feel the need to pound uo and down Anderson Hill

And the GPS all the players wear plus the manned tracking unit at both training and games must be fake

And discussing rehab with Jake Lever, told me his load was monitored every session, obviously lied

    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
