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.

Dees chasing Daniher ?  Shouldn't be too hard considering he can't run.

Well given the way Victoria / Melbourne is going with Covid he could play for us and still be located out of Melbourne.

I certainly think he his worth looking at but hey anyone with talent needs to be looked at.

Didn’t he want to leave melb the city bubble and why he was trying to get to the swans. 

Was only the public narrative.  There's apparently a fracturing between Daniher and the fitness dept and a bit of a blame game being played over the management (or otherwise) of his injury. JD has reportedly moved out of Melbourne & commutes in from the country, so maybe a little in the 'getting out of the limelight' angle, but still manageable. I don't think Sydney is really an option anymore given the number of injured tall forwards they already have.

I can understand the folks that don't want him, I'm all for asking the question. When fit (the crucial element for mine), Daniher's numbers are comparable with gun key forwards in his peer group (Lynch, Cameron, Hogan) and we desperately need a quality key forward. Our forward line is bereft at the moment. It would have been great to have kept pick 6 & selected Ben King in '18, but the list is what it is at this point.

His fitness issues are where we could.offer a strong point of difference, particularly if Bennell settles in and performs without setbacks  over the course of the season. If Burgess thinks Daniher's injury issue are recoverable, then it'd be irresponsible not to investigate. Burgess probably would be critical in the recruitment process tbh. Another selling point would be the number of familiar faces currently at the club (although none are probably all that popular with the fan base rn).

The other player i'd try and hit up from the Don's at the moment is Saad. There's some back and forth around the contract discussions and would absolutely fill a need for us.  If we were able to add those two and integrate into the line up, we would have a very different look and arguably be much better equipped to play the style Goody wants to employ.

Develop and keep.

I'm very concerned about what is happening with our development of young talent at the moment.

Petracca aside, a lot of players have stagnated.

great journalism. whoever wrote that headline should be sacked, but will probably win an award.

Or they'll take credit as giving Melbourne the idea if they do it.

Anyway my opinion FWIW if Burgess feels he can get him out on the park, fit and firing, then I'd be up for it. We lack tall marking options up forward (or at least we aren't playing any ?) and on his day he murdered teams, we were one of them unfortunately. Plus it'll be kinda nice to have a Daniher in the Red and Blue for Neale to support.

All this is predicated on the idea that firstly Burgess is able to get him right, and secondly that he'd even want to come to our rabble of a club.

I’d put all my money and trade initiative in more outside run and skill. Isn’t Josh Kelly coming out of contract? The GWS were going to have more salary cap issues right? 
 

What other Talent is out there ? Swap Gaff for Brayshaw ?

Kelly is OOC end of 2021 but his contract has some odd trigger clause that could extend it by 5 or 6 years or something.

Weid is lucky to get picked on the bench in the two's and posters on Demonland are seriously suggesting we shouldn't consider Daniher?

How is this so when you think back to how good he was in both finals, not only taking marks and kicking straight, he had second efforts chasing and tackling, can't loose that talent overnight. I really think his got in Goodwins bad books for some reason?

Remember all those articles 4-5 years ago wondering if Daniher, Hogan, Boyd or Patton would be the best gun 600 goal forward??

wow, time has not been kind. 

3 years injured for a 200cm bloke?  unlikely he can come back in any real way. as much as I hate the bombers I feel for Joe.

Essendon are a horrible club to deal with when it comes to trades. They would want the earth.

Yep.  You can just see it now - Bombers asking for at least a first rounder for a bloke who can't get on the park.

If he came for a fair price you might consider the risk involved, although their idea of a fair price would be vastly different to everyone else.

Edit - although I believe he is a free agent, or at least a restricted one, at the end of the year so you wouldn't have to deal with Essendon.

There's a contract embargo on all AFL players and coaches so...  How about we make GF, Indiana, an offer she can't refuse !?....

    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

    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.

    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
