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.

Very hard to split Oliver and Brayshaw but Oliver is just ahead for me, haven't loved a player this much since I first saw a young no52 from Shepparton. 

 

 

Stinga, still my all time favourite Demon!!

I couldn't decide. My wife got 13 on my jumper for me this year but I wouldn't have been disappointed with 11, 10, 5, or 7.

Special mention to Harmes Salem, and Spargo fast joining that list.

Also hard to go against number 2, my wife would run away with Jonesy.

So I have Oliver.

Wife has Jones.

5 year old has Petracca.

3 year old has Hunt.

When they kick the footy they always argue over who is going to be Petracca, my wife said one day "why doesn't one of you be Jonesy?" (Which is also the name of one of our cats) youngest says "I'll be Fiesty Girl" (the other cat)

Just saw from someone else's comments that it was Stinga Tingay. That's who thought of initially, remembering that he came from there.

Will always be one of my absolute favourites.

Stinga's top shelf!!!

Am torn between Nev( for sheer perserverance that has enabled his class to shine thru) , TMac (Pride) , Gus ( loves the club and had shown a lot of courage ), Clarrie ( for phoneboxfooty par excellence),Jonsey (for loyalty & effort) & Max (for being Max, for perserverance through injury issues), with Harmesy coming through fast.

I have to admit too, that when Mikshake was coming to Dees, I ran around the house to cool down.

So  my jumper does not have a number on it ,but is Navy & Red

Oliver and Gus for me.  Oliver for the fact that he is so very, very special.  Gus, partly because of the issues he's had to overcome, but also because he just seems like a great kid.  I remember seeing him carry off Daniel Cross' kid after Crossy's last game, and I though then that Gus had quality about him.

I also like to try and find a diamond in the rough after each draft, and remember being very impressed with Nibbler in his first preseason.  There was a video about him not long after her was drafted, where he explained he was studying disability studies (or similar) because his grandma is in a wheelchair, so he wanted to learn about it more and work in the field.  (I think that's close to the story).  Thought then that he was a quality kid, and when I saw him at his first Maroochydore training camp, I could tell then that he had something about him from a footy perspective too.

Dom Tyson for me and then next would have to be Oscar MacDonald.

bit left of field but i love the work ethic and commitment to the club, both have suffered setbacks and both pick themselves up again and again. 

(obviously i still love all the others, Clarry, Max, Nev, Gus, Harmes, Frosty, the list goes on)

This topic seems oh so simple, but who do we like? As a drunk 36 year old sitting at a pub in Amsterdam, I was perusing DL and realised I hadn't seen such a topic. Basically, who's ya boy? Who's jumper number would you get on your back after a 2018 flag?

I'm always a drunk 36 year old sitting at a pub in Amsterdam and Oliver is always my favourite.

I have been waiting a while, and I know he will pay dividends, but Christian Petracca for me.

Such a tough call, Brayshaw and Jones are probably my slight favourites.

To all the Harmes supporters, I will add that he is probably the best at taking time to sign autographs for the kids in the pink shirt warm up, when the players are doing their own set shot stuff etc. He just really seems to be loving his footy at the moment, he'll always take photos and sign autographs with the kids and he normally has a bigger grin then them. ?

Tie for Clarry and Maxy, though some of the stuff Clarry is doing now is putting him in elite start category. We’ve got something special with him.

  CLARRY  hands down, he can make the game look easy and stands out like Dogs   Bs  ha ha.

Nev for me, tough, reliable  and highly skilled

Nev is the third 'single favoured' so far on this page ... guess I am a tart for the boys, it is so hard to separate Clarrie, Gawnie and Nev, that's why. Each is just one step below the great Robbie, in my opinion, with Gus pushing up each game and yet, no-one will ever exceed Flower in terms of team contribution, skill, expertise, 'unbeatableness', heart and loyalty to the MFC. I still miss Robbie and wish we had another one these days. Just imagine if he was in the current team!

    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.
