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.

Funny roos made him a defender, but Buckley got the credit for turning him  into defender from the media, as if he never played there before

So next time I see Lever or Gawn drop marks or duck their heads i will know for a fact they absolutely hate playing in their currents positions.

Wow. Now your being so ridiculous, for a real footy lover, your showing a level of tribal nonsensical gibberish, that I wouldn't have expected from you.  I expect a bit more balance from you normally, dd36.

Yeah he does, but according to @MyFavouriteMartian Dunn was traded by Roos

I didn't say Roos traded watts, at all. I think I would have said that watts eventually lost Roos respect, but got a reprieve and a new contract, on the back of a couple of better games late in his contract year.  Roos's last year as coach.

The next year watts came back to the club in poor condition, and was straight away in the sin bin.  As he should have been, and finally traded out of this club.

Watts behaviours was a reflection of the old culture that haunted this club Prior to Roosy's efforts,  and Goody is also cleaning things up.  see Hogan.

 

That old cushy soft culture pervaded thru Danihers era, coming from around Balmes time.  

Hence why no Silverware in those periods.

Took the kids to training at Casey when Howe was still with us.
The players were great with the kids with an exception.
Yep, Jeremy Howe.
Far too good to give any kid there the time of day.
Really stood out to me as a phlog.

Jack Watts and Colin Sylvia on the other hand were 1st class.

I’ve said here before, Jack and Col visit my son at royal children’s one year. They were amazing!

Yep, he had the last laugh alright. Winning all those premiersh.....oh.

Well at least he has been All Australi.....hm.

....how has he had the last laugh again?  
 

His wiki page lists his career highlights as:

So basically all his career highlights came while he was at Melbourne. .

And Pre Barassi as well.

Barass an Jordan helped to clear most of it out,  but some players were to good to eject.

Northey wouldn't stand any slackers.   But the Big heads did creep back in again,  and then its not long before the place is party-central, 'again'.

Bonafide AA key back you've gotta be having a laugh. Unaccountable, lazy and prone to turnovers. Refused to listen to instruction and play to team rules even under Roos and was sent packing.

Spot on. One of the most overrated players in the league. His kicking and decision making is rubbish.

Well to be fair, Howe does play in front of a ' thick' crowd each week. He plays for Collingwood .

I'm pretty sure the first thing he did when he got his new contract there was to fix his teeth ...... don't know why he bothered, no one there would notice.

I found it quite amusing to be honest & let's face it, good bloke or not....he's right. We shouldn't have got rid of him in the first place & as TGR said, he's an AA when in good form.

One of the best aeralists the games ever seen, reads the play exceptionally well & a very good kick. Collingwood have shown more faith in him than we did......

A very good kick.....

 

Really?

Show him a photo of his face when Joe Daniher was awarded mark of the year in 2017.  Priceless ?

 

So I was talking to a bloke who said he catered an AFL player’s engagement party at the player’s house. Said the player had a whole lot of posters for “Mark of the year” printed up at the house that couldn’t be used.

This bloke was being a bit cryptic about the identity of the player and I just said “That would be Jeremy Howe” and the bloke was shocked I’d worked it out.

Not too hard to work through “Who probably should have won mark of the year, but comes across as dense enough to count their chickens before they hatch?”.

I tend to pay more attention to former Melbourne players of course when watching games, and I think his kicking is better at Collingwood.

I keep expecting him to stuff up but he doesn’t that often, kicks flat and fast and usually hits a teammate.

I don’t know if it’s genuine skill or decision making improvement, or because he’s in the backline and all the best efficiency kickers are in the backline because so many of their kicks are sideways or backwards kicks to switch play to loose players.

Exactly what I said only in different words... Totally agree.

He is a selfish player. Always was at MFC.............  and at the Colliewobbles team of misfits.

I have some sympathy for him because as I understand it his manager talked him out of Melbourne by talking up his price to absurd heights on the back of one query from either GC (most likely) or GWS. The chatter ran all through his last year with us so that it passed the point of no return and he had to leave, and yes, he was sold a bill of goods by Buckley with the promise of going forward which lasted about three games. And he was paid about the same as he was at Melbourne. The big dollars promised earlier never materialised.

Had he been smarter he could have been a one club player so long as we were prepared to tolerate his miskicks which were a weekly occurrence, just as they were with TMac in his time in defence. I had a chat with JH in the pre-season after he left us and told him we'd give him a good welcome. He knew exactly when that was - round four - better than I did, and seemed nervous about it. 

Now, with five years exposure to the self talk and bull of Eddie and Co he is showing the signs of all true Collingwood believers. Poor bugger. He displays no gratitude for Melbourne's role in plucking him from the obscurity of Dodge's Ferry. Let's hope we smash them for as long as JH remains there just as we did in round 4, 2016 and pull a flag as he totters into retirement.

So, to summarise @pitmaster: you have some sympathy for him, but he can go F@&* himself.

and, iirc, he'd already been dropped to the vfl by then cos his form forward of the ball was appalling

he was always a natural defender, but he's not an all-australian calibre player; well, at least not yet

Jeremy plays on a tightrope every time he pulls the boots on...pretty dangerous actually. The super skill is not getting up there, but managing safely to navigate a sure path down. The danger is losing your equilibrium in that descent.

    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
