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.


Demonland Player of the Year - Round 10

Recommended Posts

6. Hoges presented, ran his opponent ragged and brought teamates into the game 

5. Brayshaw - fantastic over 4 quarters and using the ball so well and strong at the clearances

4. Lever - very polished performance and very composed down back

3. Oliver - we take for granted what Clarrie does, he just does it with ease

2. Viney - Was typical JV hard at it and along with Clarrie Brayshaw and Max dominated the clearances

1. Nibbler - don't underestimate his running to create options and be vital as link up through transition.

Apologies to Bernie, Melksham, Hibberd, Jones and Jetta

6 - Brayshaw - The guy gets better each week. Works so hard. This is what we waited for

5 - Hogan - An impossible match up right now. Does damage anywhere.

4 - Jones - Another Nathan Jones game. Rarely wastes a possession

3 - Viney - Back in a big way, accelerating out of contests 20 contested possessions. Not 100% match fit yet but getting there. 

2 - Hibberd - Always uses it. Responsible for many good plays off half back.

1 - Lever - A man possessed! Frustrated Crows attacks repeatedly.

A lot of guys were stiff. Maxy was sensational, would back him in against Simon Madden right now, Nibbler is back and lethal where it counts, and Milkshakes who is just a score involvement merchant.

Not the best performance overall yet great at times. Bad errors mixed in with some great play so we still have room to improve even on today’s great win.

In terms of real impact I saw it as:

6. Hogan

5. Hibbo

4. Viney

3. Lever

2. Melksham

1. ANB

I would like to have fitted Lever in RTG because he played a top game under enormous pressure but jeez Clarrie just got such a shitload of the ball!

He's a Romsey neighbour, isn't he?

Chook, I am the consistent glass half full guy not the guy that is ecstatic one week and threatening to throw myself off a building the next if things go pear shaped. We were generally good today but better sides will make you pay more for skill errors then the Crows did today.

Just out of interest the top 10 players statistically based on a weighted compilation of averages after Rnd 10 are....

1.  Clarry  5.14 (weighted score)

2.  Viney  4.37*

3.  The Jones Boy  3.74

4.  Lewis  3.69

5.  Gus  3.54

6.  T-Mac  3.52

7.  Hogan  3.50

8.  T Smith  3.41*

9.  Gawn  3.19#

10.  Harmes  3.10

*Denotes only 2 matches played so far ie., very small sample size vs others shown.

#Does not include hit outs to advantage, a stat specific to ruckman only.  Adding a token 0.75 to Maxy's result for example, would provide a more accurate picture of where he would likely be sitting if one was able to include the stat and somehow make it relative to the other scores.  That would put his score at approx 3.94 just behind Viney and technically at No.2 if you excluded Viney from the count having played only 2 matches so far vs 10 for Big Maxy.

I think if we have a better than 10 goal win we should allow for some extra votes because it is for sure a team winning in style. BTW 7 points Goodwin.

that said:

Hogan-it was 28 degrees people,  and he ran like an Ethiopian and kicked straight and a few score assists. 

Angus-how damaging is a player that can use both feet.

Hibberd-(Lever as am alternate) early on this pair ruined every crow attack

Clarry-(Gawn could just as easily sit here) Contest King

Viney-the crows were scared of him.

Jones-taken for granted, he is still a beast.

finally... Jetta ANB Melksham are ripped off.

Think i am going to google some SA newspapers and maybe the SA forum.

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim
