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 thought this competition was "equal".

Hee!!! That was meant to be funny right Nasher ;) :D ?!!!

And not really a high price put on defenders really is there?

Do we underestimate their importance?

I'd get rid of Cousins (only because he's not currently in the AFL), bump the others up 1 spot and sneak Lloyd in at 10.

Other than that I don't fundamentally disagree with the above.

Simon Black could sneak in.

Glass and Scarlett would be on the fringes but I wouldn't call them top 10 just yet.

It'd be interesting to see where the highest Melbourne player would be ranked - would we have one in the top 50?

Lloyd...

i was at essendon vs st kilda on the weekend, and Matthew Lloyd is a disgrace

did not earn one of his goals, dived everywhere, sooked all the time

how he can be described as a champion is beyond me

on the other hand, nick reiwoldt is a champion, he faught hard all day, double teamed all the time, and just played football

people continue to overate dal santo... sure he has good games but he has to do it more than 5-6 times a year... Mcleod is definately still top 10.... class is permanent and he is back to his best....

Llloyd i wouldnt even have in my top 10..... yes it is painful watching him always looking over his shoulder for a free it looks so ridiculous.... grhhhhhhhhh

gday mate welcome to the forums. are you hedging your bets in case the north kangaroos really become the north kangaroos? i ope they dont but we'll happily have you on board if they do...

Cousins out, Brad Johnson in.

Other than that, not bad.

Perhaps you could argue that Burgoyne may be replaced by a Lloyd or a Del Santo, but I think it's not a bad top 10. Well done Yze_Magic.

How can he be described as a champion? Hmmmm....lets see.

217 games, 784 goals [top 10 on the all time goalkicking list].

Coleman medal 3 times : 2000, 2001, 2003

All Australian 5 times : 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003

Essendon leading goalkicker 9 times, every year from 1997 to 2005.

Top 3 in our B & F three times : 1997, 1998, 2001

International Rules Series : 1998, 2001

Jim Stynes Medal in 2001

AFL Rising Star nominee in 1996

Premiership side in 2000

Pre-season premiership side in 2000

Club captain 2006-

Yeah, he's just a talentless hack.

You obviously didn't notice a couple of Lloyds chases and tackles against St Kilda. Stuff like that seems to go unnoticed when people bag Lloyd. And that's a couple of weeks after Sheedy described his game in Round 1 against Adelaide as one of the best and most unselfish he has seen from captain in his time at Essendon.

dal santo is a star however i do concede that putting him in my top ten was a bit rich considering i left out a superstar in Mcleod and maybe Scott West, maybe Goodwin/Edwards, Black/Power etc.

Agree totally!!!

Kerr is ripping it up and sticking it to his detractors!

Cornes is an absolute gun and would be a walk-up start in any one of the other 15 clubs!

Heath Shaw is one of the surprise packets in my view! Having a stellar start to the season!

Goodes is a great player who has not been at his best so far this season, but is ticking along nicely!

Barry Hall is unreal.... For a bloke who injured his knee early on this year, he is not showing any sign of it!

Another 5 I would add....

Andrew McLeod - Well on the way to a stellar year and maybe another Charlie?!?!?

Chris Judd - No need to even comment!

Scott Lucas - Wish we had this sort of option up forward!

Simon Black - Leading by example to a great group of young cubs!

Matthew Pavlich - A hard running, strong leading, mark taking leader!

    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

    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.
