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.


CHANGES: Rd 15 vs Brisbane

Yeah for sure, definitely agree on that.

Just reckon he should be under the spotlight more than Weid.

BBB needs to lift or go back to Casey just like any other player. I'd rather JVR play if Brown continues his woeful form. Either way Weed plays as he is our only viable ruck/forward.

I'm sure if he gets selected everyone on here supports him and hope he goes well. Players don't read these posts you do know.

1/ wait and see.  Every team selection post has someone or more saying so and so shouldn’t be selected because they are a dud.

2/ I believe that some do.  I think Disco posted prior to his debut thanking posters for their support.

We have found a player in Disco. Looked very comfortable in his debut before being concussed.

I thought that was a joke as in there is a poster named Turner who was pretending to be Disco (?)

 I don’t know if any players read these posts. What I do know is that some players’ family members do.

Actually, I think he is wonderfully professional and driven, with single mindedness on the field and some leadership. Gives his all and I love that.

And that's no bull.

If that’s the case, then it’s fortunate that I haven’t said anything too bad about ANB for a couple of years. And more than thankful, for once, that I live in Sydney. (She scares me)

Nah NC, that’s Fritta’s mum you’re thinking of. And living in Sydney ain’t gonna save you. After all, it was Tom McCartin who she wanted to “hunt down and kill” for punching “Bayles” in the ribs. And where do you think he lives?! 😆

If Daw is injured or unavailable for selection, I imagine we will go with May in for Turner, Weed in for Gawn, and Tomlinson in as sub. This will keep our structure consistent with how it has been all year. Weed will play Jackson’s usual role of second ruck/resting forward like he did against the Hawks. 
 

If Daw is selected I believe Weed will come in to replace Mitch Brown. Further, if Daw is suffering from mental health concerns right now, I’m really happy for the club to give him all the time and support he needs. The guy has literally stood at the precipice and stared down his own existence. The result of a game of sport pales into insignificance.

So Stu … in you first scenario Mitch Brown survives? Seriously?

Hopefully he'll be back into the side in a month he's already better than Tomlinson in the back and allows Petty to pinch hit in the forward line.

Agreed, I would bring JvR in before holding onto M Brown in the team. He’s had some solid games over his time with us but his time is up.

Hard to see a player with poor physicality such as Weed will be any good in the ruck but there is no one else, assuming Daw is unavailable. 

Weid has actually filled the second ruck role decently in the past, it’s not his preferred position but I feel like as a forward he almost tries to avoid contact, whereas as a ruckman he knows he has no choice and it seems to settle his issues about the physicality of it. 

At the end of the day where we are at now is “decent” is the best we can get, we have injuries, last year we got a good run. We clearly have a very good best 22 but now we test the depth of the club, as well as the character of the players. Oliver, Trac, Viney etc will have to work a lot harder to win the clearances now and frankly I feel like they have been getting way too used to the armchair ride they’d had from Gawn.

So now we're thinking mental health concerns for Daw and not injury?

If that is the case the club has kept him off the injury report to protect his privacy and give him space to get well.  The worst thing would be having it in the headlines or worse social media where really unsavoury people lurk and who knows what they might troll him about. 

This last comment isn't about your post, more a general comment but it may be best if the reason he hasn't been on the injury list doesn't get much airplay on DL.

On the bright side he was in the pics when Turner's debut was announced.

    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
