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.

Really really impressed with Stretch. Has been good the last month but really took it to another level today. Loved him on the wing, and is a lot stronger than his frame suggests.

Good kick, good speed, nice hands. A big fan. Definitely didn't think we'll see much of him this year, and have been pleasantly surprise. A nice F/S pick up!

6 - Jones ( defied suggestions of injury to return to inspiring best )

5 - Viney ( tough, uncompromising and took right options today )

4 - Salem ( smooth as silk and classy disposal )

3 - Gawn ( dominated the centre bounces as he should )

2 - Hogan ( gave the team confidence with his ruthless attack on the ball )

1 - Harmes ( took some great marks and showed class)

Apologies to T.McDonald and to Brayshaw for a great second half

Can't believe so few votes for Hogan. More than anyone else, he was the difference. Just having him there as a target changes how the mids play, and how the ball comes into the forward line.

I didn't attend the game and only watched the replay last night, so I will not cast votes. However, I am surprised that Howe hasn't scored a vote as yet. Thought he played a good game but, admittedly, there are a few you could raffle for the last one or two in a given selection of six.

I gather you don't think Hogan has a future.

At least 10 players worthy of votes compared to 3-4 of previous three weeks.

6 Gawn - yes I know he was rucking against a no-name kid, but how good was his service. We were spanked in middle last time in Rd 2. Not this time.

5 Viney - every week i enjoy reading the pressure acts column and he's way above everyone else. In the third term when we won it, he was everywhere.

4 T.Mac - Almost back to his early season best. Beat Cameron and still provided run from defence.

3 Jones - How good was his kicking. I can't believe the tossers that question this area. He's the best pass in the side.

2 Salem - As I've said for some time now - we need his left foot down back. The most crucial player in team aside from Gawn and Hogan. At least now we have another option in White.

1 Hogan - He was on from the start and seemed to love all the Inside 50m entries that happen when you are playing a glorified exhibition game.

Why no Vince and Cross.

Vince - He was very good but his direct opponent Ward was clearly the best GWS player.

Cross - Even he can't remember anything he did!

    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.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
