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.

I find the Commitment and mindset of many MFC Players over the last 5-6 decades to be insulting towards both the club and members

How many Norm Smith Medalists do we have??

We are too soft hearted to a fault, Re our players in this competitive sport.

We make excuses for them far too often over the decades, especially those in close contact with them.  Then the players in our weaker sides accept mediocrity with this sympathy they receive. 

Then these sides stay down for ages, until some tough coach comes along to sort the culture, again.

We, have to stop this,  and we have to expect better from the players.  Just not attack the kids in their first 2 or 3 seasons.

 

It's the mature players we should have to expect plenty from.

Totally agree mate. 
The Club has also made some horrendous decisions (Trengove and Grimes Captains FFS)

But to many players over the years were not fit mentally or physically and just enjoyed getting paid 

Burgess has moved the Football Dept into a new existence, i hope the Club is strong enough to embrace it

Yep, we as a club tend to be too defensive when outsiders critique us, and this is our fault.   We don't learn because we take no notice.

Young captains were a minor blip in poor decisions and non decisions, over 50 + years.

 

I feel thankful we are the right track again, for the first time since the 80's,  when we last tried to turn the tide of this club.  And we got 15 to 20 seasons with some pleasure, even as the ship was slowly slipping backwards once again.

This time it was the AFL who stepped up, to sort us out.  With PJ & Roosy, and onto Goody.  Our board seems to be good.  So time will tell.

 

But how many opportunities have we let sail past us in the 50 + Yrs,  where we could have really established our own REAL identity.

Establishing our identity with our own home base is crucial to our ability to compete, and be established as a Major part of this city.  We are at present Melbourne by name alone.  We are truly homeless,  apart from being the original footy club, and tenant of the MCC.

This is NOT enough for our existence.

Start Winning Finals regularly and we will have that home base built, very close to where we are now, as it should be. 
we should already be in the Lexcus Center But Gutnick ruined that opportunity

Visionary people is what this club needs...  we have had too many clerical types, accountants and white collar thinkers.  And because of this we have grown smaller, and stagnated.

Anywho, this is about our past, and we are about to embark on the most important season since 1986.   The season after Barassi and Jordan.

If he is worried about his knee, he shouldn’t play. Injuries can happen just as easily in the goal square in a pack mark situation. 
once you cross the white line....

He needs to get the ball in his hands. 
TMac is a confidence player

right now he is cold, his timing is out

Surgery he had in July...he doesn’t even have to jump at the center bounces, just be a follower around the ground to get some easy touches and have some marking contests where he doesn’t have a key defender all over him. 

The forward structure isn’t perfect but Melksham and Fritsch both took opportunities. Tom didn’t look as likely. If he’s barely touched it by half time against the Eagles then he’s pretty much asking for a run in the ruck. 

Sorry guys, but just can't agree. Wing maybe, I mean that's where TMac himself has talked about playing as being a way he has found form in the past, but putting a key forward in the middle of the ground to get beaten in hitouts isn't my idea of how you help a key forward find form and improve his 'timing' in the forward line.

Plus, taking away our best key forward and letting Hurn and McGovern absolutely slaughter us unopposed doesn't seem like great thinking.

Nothing happened after 1986 except a few false dawns. Lift your expectations 

No 12 was begot in 1964

No 13 .....

Yeah, plenty happened after 86.  We started to win on-field,  but started to slip off-field, at the top.  The vision weakened and the where-with-all in people waned.

Getting there is just the beginning.  Its the half way point only, if you will.

 

You don't take the foot off the gas,  in the thinking we've nearly made it,  as all others are snapping at your toe nails.

Melbourne again lost our way, when Barassi finished,  and Seddon moved out of the MFC offices. 

On-field we continued with the incoming tide,  but reality was we had gotten weaker in off-field areas, which had driven the changes.  We let it slip.

...............

No-13 will only happen with a lot of hard work from everyone onboard, driving the ideals and efforts to being the best club, in the AFL.

We are at the beginning of a new effort. lets stick at it. 

 

It wasn't long ago, people were calling for the coaches head on a platter.  It cannot work like that.

Change a major piece, and start again, and again, and again.

I hope Bedford overtakes ANB as I cringe when he goes near the ball and fumbles, gets in the way or turns it over. Admittedly, ANB was quite good in patches last night. I know he offers plenty of run and is a coach's favourite, but the sooner Bedford can overtake him the better IMO - he's faster, a better tackler and hopefully won't be as fumbly with the loose/disputed ball. Bedford should also be able to cover as much ground with his tank. 

I think the description of ANB as "coaches favorite" shows personal bias unfortunately (this isn't just you either!). The coach likes him because he runs better than almost anyone and generates lots of chances at goal. The coach picks him because no one else has been able to offer those qualities in that position. When other players go past him, he'll get dropped.

One of the things I've taken out of this game is the intensity Il Signor Patracca has brought to his game. As far as I know nobody has mentioned his contribution last night but I simply felt awe at how much more he was involved.  

And Viney was fantastic. I have a funny feeling that if the Injury gods treat us right this year very good things can happen,

Ooh ooh me, I did, match day thread!!

While he wasn’t as prolific as match 1 he looks damaging every time he gets the ball. He does need to maintain the rage from match 1, that is his key challenge as he has virtually everything else now.

Let's not flatter him, Yet.   He hasn't fired a shot in anger, for premiership points.   Lets wait a few weeks, to see any consistency of efforts.

We can hope he really comes good.

Some good signs in last nights game, but also some of the same old rubbish poor passing and turnovers, going backwards, going across field, some players just dont know how to move the ball quickly.

Luckily the Hawks could not take advantage of our indiscretions.

Fritsch was brilliant, but i would rather he played out of a pocket,

The idea was if TMac is struggling up forward, if he is okay re toes/feet/knees, throw him in the ruck for 15 mins or on the wing for that matter, so he can get his hands on the ball and find some form!

Then put back in the forward line, rather than let him struggle!

I agree with this deanox.  Kossie adds a completely different dimension.  I thought during the game that he would have been a handy ground level addition when the ball was bombed forward.  Might have snagged a couple, I reckon.

Agree with these observations at the present moment. Whilst we need to further hone our onfield player connections at this point, the flush of newbies has certainly strengthened the team to achieve a higher quality of linked transmissions towards goal - and a dominance of ground space that should be more frequently sought (all wrapped up in the team's mobility criteria). For me, Kossie may well be a key to this mobility; certainly, Lockhardt and Bedford put in efforts to stir the heart against Whoreform and a few more games in real time might favourably tip the balance in the Demons' direction. Our new wingers were also impressive and fit this mobility mix. Spargo was valuable - his tap-ons were first rate. Now we must wait for the older brigade to rollover into a meaner machine of space, run and accurate disposal, forgetting the long-bombs and the static forward readiness that many of these players have exhibited in the recent past. Fritta and The Melk are doing their bit exploiting space options and their preparedness to receive. The result was on the scorecard.

No, the idea SWYL put forward was in the ruck.

As I've said, I don't mind the wing as previously Tom himself has said that sometimes help him get into the game.

But moving our best marking key forward away from the 2nd best backline in the comp when we are still dysfunctional going forward, just so that key forward can lose the hitouts for 15 minutes is not my idea of a successful game plan.

The best way for a key forward to find form is to sort out the delivery and the forward line structure and get the ball to him where he wants it.

Yes perfect delivery into forward line would be great. 
My initial point was if TMac is struggling give him a run around in the ruck to get him involved in the game, getting a few touches, the wing was also suggested after the initial post.

Leaving him stone cold in the forward line was the problem being solved. Forward delivery is another to be solved, lowering the eyes seems the answer often suggested, not just bombing kicks and better leading patterns are others. Getting the ball in faster is perhaps another option, before opposition flood. I’m sure there are other options some astute Demonlanders can provide.

    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

    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
