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.

Take Oli out of the ruck and put Brayshaw into the spot.  

Play Brayshaw into form,  and see which way we go from there.  See what works best for us.

 

Keep Viney inside the mids.  And bring some other players thru the midfield to try them out,  one at a time.

Time to send the kids back,  and bring Chunk in,  and maybe JJordan.

MUch to some people's joy , it seems it is too late to trade Angus Brayshaw. He has gone already (that is probably why he was "missing"(according to some people yesterday. He was busy poling votes for Dockers in their win against Crows ( The Age). Do not know how he got back to MCG so quickly from Adelaide.

Delete Jones, Jetta, Hibberd, Kolodshnij, Sparrow, C.Wagner, J.Wagner, Neitsche, Preuss, Viney and Brayshaw. Keep Weid , no Daniher. Play Smith and May forward. Develop players like Baker,O'Mac etc.  Promote Bradkte .Getting rid of Hunt would be like us getting rid of Kent who is playing well for the saints.

I have a vibe on a couple of exits at seasons end, be them driven by the club, player or both.

I can see both Macdonalds but more than likely Tom move on at seasons end. There seems to be very little joy for him in the act of playing at the moment, and pragmatically contributes a little to how the team plays.

I also see parallels  between Brayshaw and Chip Frawley, both essentially being played out of position for the entire year before exiting the club. For me, Chip was never going to be a forward and presumably the logic was to get 20 odd games into a defensive unit without him. 

Not dissimilar to Brayshaw not 'really' being part of the midfield mix going forward, and that being tested out during this season.

I think Joel Smith will look elsewhere.  Kangas? Swap for ?? Mason Wood??   My option for a swap is young 21yo Tom Murphy.  Murphy would be a good replacement as a mid size rebound defender and can assume a Hibberd style role.  His skills and intensity are good. Not quite cracking a game for Kangas.

Baker (poor mans hunt)

Brayshaw - has currency (hello freo) and allows changes to our 1 dimensional midfield

TARGETS

Zac Williams -FA desperately need run and kicking

Witherden - couldn't crack brisbane's side until recently has elite disposal

2 metre Peter Wright - also cant get a game and could be an elite goal square player for us

Cockatoo - we've fixed Bennell why couldn't we do the same here, elite pressure forward when fit

Cedric Cox - cant crack a brisbane side too but has potential as a small forward would come cheaply

Cumming - looked the goods pre season at GWS lots of competition for places they probably let him walk

Papley - probably too expensive

Key Defenders: May, Lever, Hore, Petty, T McDonald

Rivers has the Hibbered role sewn up.

If he can't quite crack it at North Melbourne then why on earth would we target him? Last bloke we targeted that couldn't get at gig at North Melbourne is currently with us who also is struggling to crack in our ones also.

Looking at his stats he last played against St Kilda back in round one and had 7 disposals 0 marks and 2 tackles from 80% game time.

No more list cloggers thanks.

obviously not all on the trade / release will leave - for instance if you trade brayshaw (likeliest option) then you'd ideally keep harmes and viney; the former would be unlikely to leave having just signed a new five year (!!) deal earlier this year, and now of course - as per most mfc players - his form line has flatlined

fritsch is out of contract and still hasn't signed a new one; would another club be interested in him and be prepared to pay 'overs'?

luke jackson will, undoubtedly, have the proverbial truck backed up to him by meth coke and freo over the next few years - could one of them come with an offer too good to refuse at the end of this season?

im anti trading Viney.. he ha smore competitive spirit in his little finget than some on our list. I see a lot of people saying you wont get much for Angus Brayshaw.. i think clubs will pay for him. Cartlon would absolutely love him, another inside body to compliment Cripps..

 

I watched the Semi against Geelong last night.. the difference in the way we are playing is so stark and there are 4 main people who the flow on affect has been huge:

Tom Mc - not a shadow of his shadow

Brayshaw - no longer a threat anywhere

Jetta - sadly father time has called

Melksham - Not getting enough out of him as a senior player

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    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.
