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'll be happy if he plays a preseason game footy - he will need a hit out and he is critical part of our back 6 (the most most critical?) so needs some match team with Omac and co to build synergy and 'connection'.

I'll be very unhappy if in that game he shirt fronts a roos players and gets suspended 

Unfortunately he's just as likely to finish out the game with a bag of ice glad wrapped to his hammy.

That suspension he got last year was an absolute joke.  It was worth a small fine, at best.

Be that as it may (pardon the pun) it was unnecessary and stupid to even risk a suspension. Save the tough guys stuff for games played for premiership points

True.  I won't argue that.  But it was still a silly decision on the tribunal's part.

He had lots of form Wiseblood.

I doubt he is the sharpest tool in the shed.

You might be right rjay.  But that's life.  I don't expect the club to always tell the 'whole' truth.  

Maybe they believed it wasn't too bad and it's taking a little longer?  That happens from time to time.

Either way, May has done the bulk of the pre-season and should therefore be in pretty good nick regardless.  Here's hoping he can be right for Round 1.

I spoke to May at training (queue Dazzle telling me I'm a fanboy) and had quite a chat.  It was a cyst that was giving him a little trouble, nothing major.  My understanding is it got infected and they are dealing with that.  I can't imagine taking a cyst out would cause any long term damage.  But he's hardly done "the bulk of the preseason".  He did the block before Christmas and has done the week in Queensland but other than that he's not been in training.  It's a shame because he's lacked the chance to work with the other backs in match sims. 

I'm going with Chell on this.  I reckon he'll play the second match and will play game one.  Here's hoping anyway.

Maybe (pardon another pun) but given the elbows that Ablett was throwing around and getting away with during the season proper I think we can all agree that the tribunal is inconsistent and would appear biased towards certain players.

Im not so sure about this. 

May was standing still, the Berry ran straight towards him, and May took 1-2 small steps and braced. Berry didn't look where he was running or prepare for contact, which was ridiculous because he handballed because he knew May was there and then kept running to potentially recieve the 1-2 handball. Did he expect May to let him walk past? He has to be responsible for being aware of players within his immediate area. 

If May didn't bump, the Brisbane player would have ran into him. His only other option was to step out of the way,  which is ridiculous. 

Here are multiple angles:

Cheers Bob.  My 'bulk of the pre-season' comment was based on the fact that, compared to last season, he had seemingly done everything asked of him up until the injury, which I feel would still leave him in a good spot leading up to the season.  You guys would know more than me on that, but compared the pre-season he had last year, he looks to be in a better position to be ready for the year ahead.

He looks in great shape and his "match sim" form was terrific before Christmas.  He also did a lot of running in rehab prior to Queensland so here's hoping.

Very promising, and terrific news if your source is on the money. Though I’ll be happier if they just hold him off till the actual footy starts. 

“We expect Angus Brayshaw to be available next week following his elbow injury and both Steven May and Max Gawn are to be considered for our second Marsh Series game against Hawthorn in two weeks.”

There you go

Well your info is certainly seemingly more credible than mach5’s. Is this the same source that told you months in advance that Harley was keen to play for us?

Leon can speak for himself of course, but just from the perspective of someone impartial; I've found him to be a very very credible poster who puts up spot on information.

Petty (groin?), possibly Wagner the only ones who might be longer-term concerns?

The injury issues we have are all down to one thing and one thing only - training.

Blind Freddy can see what the problem is here - if they didn't train they wouldn't get injured, so stop all the training sessions.

Are you serious 64?

In sport athletes have to train and prepare!

What  else Do you want Pete season to be?

sitting around the centre circle playing poker or maybe two up?

Mach 5 is like Poita and a couple of others on this site.

They criticise most Club decisions And are negative By and large.

Only offerings are over the top generalisations, and comments not backed up via any source or detail.

Basically all fake news and unsubstantiated opinion!!!

They are MFCSS paid members, they are the sort who are always negative, and might not be demon fans.

so if the recoveries for Gus, May and Gawn come to fruition, we could have zero best 22 players injured by round 1.  and the majority of the squad having done a good preseason.

oh my.  No excuse Demons

Anyone got an idea about the need for coyness?

“The Demons were coy pre-game about Fritsch's late withdrawal, saying he was out with an illness, but Goodwin set the record straight.
"He (Fritsch) had a little infection in his knee, he's been on the antibiotics so if that's a sickness then that's a sickness," he said.  

It just seems dumb. If he has a knee infection why wouldn’t you say he has a knee infection? Just seems pointless

I've added Jones to the list with his Shin Corkie, Bayley Fritsch with his Knee Infection and Joel Smith goes back on the list after coming off it when named in the team but then not playing even though a spot opened up with Fritsch's omission. Wagner and Jordon who played the day before were suited up on the bench as emergencies so Smith goes back on the list until he is available to play.

BRAYSHAW Angus.png Angus Brayshaw Elbow TBA
CHANDLER Kade.png Kade Chandler Wrist TBA
DUNKLEY Kyle.png Kyle Dunkley Ankle TBA

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
