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.

So out of this list, Jones retires; Weid possibly traded and question marks over Neita, Bradtke, M Brown, Baker, AVB and Chandler.

That would be 8 changes in all. I don't think we've got the trade/draft currency for that many changes. Maybe 4-5 in all I'd reckon. Jones now retired, Jetta may retire as well.  So I'd think that there may be three from the list above to leave the club. Maybe Neita, Bradtke and one of AVB or M Brown (assuming Weid stays). I think Baker and Chandler will have belting pre-seasons coming up,  having experienced this finals series and wanting to be a part of the next one, I can't see we'd trade either.

I agree I think we will make the minimum of changes. Jetta and Jones to retire and Weid traded. The rookies Mitch Brown will retire and Neitschke will get the chop and Declase and Turner will take their place. I think that's how it works otherwise they would be getting 2 new rookies every season. Bradtke to also get the chop.

No 26 is controversially No 44 Joel Smith 3 games 0 goals thought he would be emergency but he's not so he is probably No 32 and the rest go up 1. Injury prone all year doing his medial but broke into the team late in the year only to hurt his hamstring forcing him out of the last 2 finals.

No 25 is No 18 Jake Melksham 12 games 8 goals. Found it really hard to get a game once Viney came back from injury.

No 24 is No 29 Jayden Hunt 20 games 2 goals. The hard luck story of the team. Injured late in the year and couldn't regain his spot in the team due to Hibberd's form.

No 23 is No 23 James Jordon 25 games 6 goals. Had an impressive season but eventually lost his spot to Sparrow.

No 22 is No 32 Tom Sparrow 21 games 7 goals. In and out of the side until near the end of the season where he finally cemented his spot.

No 20 is No 9 Charlie Spargo 25 games 18 goals. Proved me wrong a vital cog in the team now with his defensive skills.

No 19 is No 6 Luke Jackson 24 games 16 goals. Rising Star winner and I think the second best ruck going around.

No 18 is No 14 Michael Hibberd 17 games 0 goals Struggled for form at the end of the year but due to Joel Smith's injury got a reprieve and held his spot for the grand final.

13 is No 30 Alex Neal-Bullen 25 games 15 goals. Was on the trade table at the start of the year and turned it around to become one of the best half forwards in the game.

12 is No 36 Kysaiah Pickett 25 games 40 goals Electrifying all year unlucky not to get goal of the year. Poor grand final but he can't play well every game.

11 is No 25 Tom McDonald 23 games 33 goals. On the scrap heap at the start of the year but a new diet and fitness regime turn his season around.

    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.
