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.

“We are a team that push the boundaries with training” also interesting. 

That was the most intriguing take for me.

It sounds like we're really at the forefront of player management and what we're trying to do with loads.

My interpretation anyway.

Perhaps Goodwin is a little neurodiverse... and he was being rigid with language. It could have been just a literal reference to Langdon who ostensibly stays right on the boundary line. 😇🤷‍♀️ Not a reference to different training regiemes and volume and intensity management.

I can’t imagine that’s what they are measuring when looking at whether they are successful or not. Causing emotional responses and creating discussion points that stir debate would have to be number one with a bullet. I wish they were interested in educating the fans but I don’t see it. It feels more like a soap opera than a sport at times

Loading is not sexy...stirring debate and creating emotional responses keeps people dangling on the line.

I watched a bit of the couch last night.

Example..Tom Hawkins walking the length of the field to berate Tom Stewart & his fellow defenders was great leadership.

When Steven May has a go then it's dissent in the ranks, they're not a happy club...it's all falling apart.

David Noble didn't know how to handle the current generation, was too hard on the players. McVeigh, good on him for telling some truth, would love this level of honesty at my club.

Any wonder I've been turning this stuff off, it's pure garbage wrapped around the idea they are doing cutting edge analysis.

Healy's departure has hastened the demise of a once ok show...it's really poor now.

Yep, silly us and our confirmation bias.

By “pushing the boundaries”, might have also meant, pushing the mental boundaries? Peak ruthlessness?    :))

Well said. Is such a 50/50 as to which stance they will take. But one thing we know for sure is it will be exaggerated. 
 

Melk and the Freo jumper. You can imagine pre show, some debate about “do we go hard saying this is evidence of ruthlessness and why Melb turned it around”, or “should we keep banging on about the cultural problems Melb have this year”

The media are so invested in a Geelong flag (v Collingwood in the GF of course) that one of their players could punch a teammate and it would be described as being of benefit.

The extra preseason needed to win an AFL premiership: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/the-extra-preseason-needed-to-win-an-afl-premiership/news-story/387b8adb9ca703a89701cf7e0569994f

Some snippets:

  • We were gluttons for punishment. We did an extra “pre-season” from Round 16 in 2007 - a preseason to get us ready for the finals.
  • It was a pretty big ask when the idea was first raised. We had a new fitness and conditioning guy, and the idea was to split us up into three groups. Each group would rotate through a light week, medium week and heavy week...those in the light group needed to carry us on game day...
  • They split it up so there were people from all different positions on the field in each group. We didn’t want to have all our forwards so tired they couldn’t sprint when it mattered.
  • It was a big call to put us through that in the middle of the season, but in 2007 we were playing well, it gave us the confidence to do it. If we had lost a few of the games leading up to the finals we would still be at the top of the ladder, so there was less pressure.
  • That extra preseason lasted only about six weeks...but the huge effort paid off. We were fitter than we had ever been come finals. And on that last Saturday in September we finally lifted the premiership cup.

Oh ol!  This will upset some people! 

And that was 15 years ago!! Think how much sports science has developed since then. 

A key point being that they could push things to the max, because they had games up their sleeves. Clearly something they wouldn’t have done if a 50/50 for top 4 or top 8. 

Interesting also that it comes out 15 years later. I look forward to Trac talking us through the 2021/2022 loading programs around 2037

Also interesting that the 'extra preseason' went for 6 weeks.

Now that is likely aprox 8 weeks, but otherwise pretty similar length.

And now they start it earlier, particularly if you get early wins on the board.

I wonder if anyone in the media will make the link to the contents of this article and Melbourne's (and others) midseason form slumps in premiership years.  I won't be holding my breath.

Edit: Just saw the date of the article - 19/04/2022.  Obviously had very little traction or care factor in the wider AFL media.

I dunno. I think it was pretty clear Chris Scott was talking about loading a couple of weeks ago.

People would prefer to look at other factors as to why we suddenly slumped in a mirror image to last year.

I'd suggest if we don't win the flag people next year will be saying the same thing. It'll be pretty hard to defend on the body evidence if we win another flag though.

When were the Scott comments again A F? I've either missed them or forgotten.

I think I mean more so from the pundits, the so called experts who ask the questions about the form slump and then try to answer with analysis. Your Kings, Montagnas, Lloyds etc

Not so, it's been mentioned here and there over 25 years. The most common example is Craig at the Crows when Blight was coach.

Nevermind the date stamp this article is from 2007 (notice the Crows midfielder who is quoted in the article 🤔)

Scott's comments were after they beat Eagles in Perth about 6-8 weeks ago.

Crows 97-98 loading programs got heaps of attention and acknowledgement as key factors behind their flags. As well as their early adoption of sports science more generally.

    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
