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.

I see that Dean Kent is an inclusion for St Kilda in what will be his 100th game.

Genuinely forgot that he was still on a senior list.  I wonder if the 100th is a farewell gesture.

Yeah he's out of contract which surely won't get renewed. Hope he gets a farewell game.

Interesting, may well be? Out of contract I believe.

Will be watching Harmes energy levels and ability to run out a full game closely. Surprised he played an entire VFL game 5 days earlier. 

 

Agree Jimmy, it's a concern but sports science and what not these days, they must have a gauge on it to some extent

No surprise in the selections at all. Jordan gets the ball a lot but is too predictable in movement and speed. Opposition can read him properly. Harmes has been bought in to be a parasite up Neals [censored].

I'm not unhappy with the change but you have to feel for JJ. Spent most of last year as the sub, including the GF, manages to play in the 22 most games this year and now, on the eve of the finals, it looks like he might be warming the bench again

Just like in the GF...really horrific

Looks a little like Roman concrete - tough enough, readying and settling for the weeks ahead. Get ya game plans ready boys, we are depending on you in so many ways.

Not stiff. He’s been fading out of games for a month.

Yeah “stiff” was the wrong choice of word. “Unlucky” more apt. I do think he’s playing pretty sore at the moment, and the timing is tough.

It's a case of horses for courses. If Harmes can mininise Neale's influence the change will be justified, however unlucky Jordon is entitled to feel. Bit worried about Spargo, though. His impact in recent games has been minimal.

After such a long run in the team, I still doubt whether Spargo has had his role carefully defined; he just does not get the opportunities to excel with his skillset terribly often. He is one of our best feeders; he does not lack courage, he will tackle when necessary - but he runs around in circles looking for a receive himself, often landing with a much larger opponent at which point his role is abruptly impossible.

Sparrow very lucky thought he was worse recently than JJ but it's a good problem to have. Harmes had to come in for Neale.

Hopefully he's picked on form, we need them to put up a good performance against the Swans

What does Dean Kent got do with Teams R23 team v Brisbane ?  Get on the St.Kilda website you people . 

News report we are adding grunt to our team by including Harmes. Have I missed something we didn't need grunt because Harmes played for Casey !!!! This team is more vanilla than vanilla (poor comparison I suppose ) , we don't have any aces up or sleeve i.e Joel Smith  or JVR . We will get done . Maybe we should offer Hird a an assistant coach position, actually Hird has more of a footy brain than Goody.

With the injury to Tmac this side is about as good as it gets. We should be able to get a win in QLD. 

….and maybe, just maybe TMac may just be an outside chance in a few weeks.  Not sure if this is wishful thinking on my part, but I live in hope.  GO DEES!

Great continuity, minimal changes again, wow, what pressure for spots. No-one can really under perform the roles at this stage, so expecting a very hardened, and pressured approach to our game.

I thought Harmes played with desperation at VFL level last week. He worked hard, to get the call up 

With the dry days up there, I'd expect a little less dew on the ground. Marking and clean ball use will be needed, get it done BBB and Dogga.

Brissy will be ready for us, but I think we are playing on the front foot this season. We really ask the opposition to stick to us, as we don't give much in the first half and quite often they fold. It still remains a problem for us in the third, but with so much on the line I expect we will roll on till the end.

[Good to see Kenty as a possible in, (kick a few for us) St.kilda has a few out this week, including M.Wood who looked strong in their last one. Hoping they can do Sydney and give us a MCG game (so long as we win).]

I can see the players enjoying the VFL game in Moreton oval if we do Brissy. Plenty of sunshine, then off to watch the Sydney game on Sunday.  Good preparation but probably not. Maybe only Goody and few select leaders to the Sydney game.

    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
