  • 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 have at the moment a potential 200 game very good player in number 29.  This guy is fantastic to watch and very competitive.  If he can lower his eyes, improve his kicking, he will go from very good player to AFL elite!  Hope our coaches develop this side of his game and he will be a complete player.

Today wasn't one of his better games. Turned it over a lot. But if you're gonna turn it over, gaining 90m in the process is probably the way to do it.

The girly headband and flashy style fools opposition players IMO. The guy is no pansy, in fact he's probably only behind Viney and a couple of others as toughest at the club.

He is a genuine weapon for us.  Today was not his best game and he was still able to influence the contest.  We are dangerous and unpredictable with the ball in hand.

What I think also gets overlooked is how tough the kid is.  He can stick a tackle as good as anyone else and he never shirks a contest.  A fantastic weapon to have in our side.

Hard as [censored]. And at that speed that's seriously courageous.

Loved the tackle in the second half I think it was on Byrne-jones or Powell-pepper he smashed him over the boundary 

There was no getting out of that tackle by  Powell Pepper. Hunt absolutely nailed him !!!!

Not only is he one of the most exciting players at the club, he one of the most exciting in the AFL. Fast as, hard at it and can kick goals from outside 70....yet to play his 50th game.

Fantastic player. His blazing away is his weakness, but as mentioned in the OP, it is the difference between being a very very good player, and an absolute elite player.

I suppose it would be pretty hard to run swo fast and balance at the same time. I have had awful difficulty at either of those skills.

However I agree

Also loved the way ANB followed it up and gave it to PP as he was getting up. Seriously good stuff from them both.

Any player judging their opponent on their haircut deserves what they get!

He doesn't really have any weaknesses.   Amazing hes come from nowhere and looks like he could be moving to superstardom.

It's a bit of a dice roll when he disposes of the ball - you know something is going to happen, you're just not sure if it's going to be amazing or something awful.  I think it's a function of his MO of doing everything at maximum speed; he needs to add composure to his repertoire.  

It's not a complaint, though, just an observation.  I commented early on last year that it wasn't just that he's fast, but he's also much tougher than he looks like he should be.  I haven't changed my view.  Just love him.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
