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.

The only Wagner I'd bring in is Josh. He can play half back and release Fritsch to play forward. 

If Preuss is okay then he comes back in. Will they have the guts to drop Weideman? 

Outside of that, there isn't much else at Casey, while May, Lever, AVB, Hannan, Joel Smith, Nev etc all won't be ready for the Hawks game.

Wèed needs to go with TMac back in the forward line, play Kelty or Petty down back.

Retire Lewis, say goodbye to ANB and work from there.

Pruess for Weids (if fit).

Decide on other changes after Casey plays.  See if anyone puts their hand up. 

As a minimum we need to replace ANB whether injured or not.  Very surprised he was called on for last night.  By all reports he didn't show anything in the match before the under 18s fiasco.

Makes you wonder where Goody's head is at bringing back someone completely out of form into a team where so many were already struggling.

Goody did one smart thing last night .. Melksham in the middle.. suddenly someone who can kick... Viney Brayshaw and Oliver in there is killing us all three just give it away either by foot or hand ... perhaps just change it so every centre bounce is Max Melksham Salem and Stretch ... others like Gus and Olly (who could start on the wings) and Jones can play on ball after the bounce and Stretch and Salem go onto the wings ..

Weed needs to go back to Casey to work on his game and he can be tried at CHB to develop bits lacking in his game at the moment...bring in Preuss or Keilty... TMac was better , although limping in last quarter (toe?) keep him back ...Jones? Viney? Trac? Lewis? Too many blokes we are trying to hide..

When under pressure people go to their favorites.

You want to drop the Weid?

No No say it ain't so.

I'd bring in either petty or omac, and send Frost forward to play directly on Sicily. He's there main intercept player so make him accountable, Frost is a liability back anyway but can stick to a player. Garlett did nothing, barley chasing which at least ANB does. If Preuss is right then him in for tsmith, otherwise surely we should look at keilty.

So, petty or omac for garlett and Preuss or keilty for tsmith

Some time to pause and reset.

Send Viney if fit to half back.  Give him time to man up, tackle and dispose of it without being panicky every time he goes near it.  

Send Weid to a wing.  Put Brayshaw on the other.  

Have a forward line of Preuss, Keilty, Smith, Frisch , Melksham, and try Bedford.

Lewis and Jones both out.  Petty, Frost, Salem, Hunt, Viney and Hibbard as back 6

Middle of Gawn, Oliver, Harmes, Maynard.

Bench of TMac, Stretch,  Trac, C Wagner

Weid is not doing the job but do we have someone to replace him?  For the moment T. Smith has his place, he can take a mark and kick a goal. It looks like Viney and ANB are injured and should miss rather than play injured. They need to be replaced with running players. The cupboard is bare. We only have the Wagners and other running players that have less experience. KK only runs one way. Preuss is not a key position target because he is as slow as a wet week and can really only play one position. Lewis and Jones are done and should not waste their records with a too late retirement. Seeing great players past their use by date is sad and embarrassing. If they both retire could it open a couple of spots on the list for the midseason draft?

A good organisation would at least have a respectful conversation with Jones in particular and Lewis. Obviously they will say they want to see the year through and help out with experience. Perhaps that is best but a conversation should be had.

Preus in for Weideman, won't even present for an option. Why was Garlett picked when he has been out of form for 12 months, has one good game in the VFL against a side that is likely to finish on the bottom. Couldn't believe the amount of people clamouring to have him in the team. Those that think Jeffy was the answer were asking the wrong questions.

Garlett provided run and good link up work up the field, it is not his fault the delivery into the forward line was crap. Tim Smith is so much more versatile and mobile than Preuss and arguably shown that he has been our best forward target we have had all year. Preuss may be of use resting forward, he is so slow though. Frost has been our best back so far this season. It is run this team needs more of. If you are going to sacrifice a forward to play on Sicily then you are playing into their hands and Sicily has won the battle. The way to beat Sicily is to have a good forward make him have to earn it.

    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.
