  • 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.

McLean

Green

Bruce

Miller

Wheatley

Would you think Miller has had a better year than Jones or Wheatley? I know its your opinion, but I consider Jones has had greater influence than Miller.

1. Brock McLean (The barometer)

2. Bradford Green (Had him as trade bait in March, now I have naught but respect for his attitude and how he plays his football)

3. Nathan Jones (Some very good games, and some poor ones)

4. Paul Wheatley (has got stacks of the ball, and if Junior's two victories are anything to go by, quality of ball use is not necessarily a factor)

5. Cam Bruce (been inconspicuous, but consistent)

Garland a lay-down misere to win most-improved player.

Wonna a slightly less horizontal misere to be the best first year player. Morton looms as his main opposition in that regard, though he'll need to get back into the team.

In my unofficial B+F (based on a similar system to Bluey) the top 5 is something like

1. Green (has been leader all year)

2. Bruce (yeah i was surprised too. as bad as some of his games have been, he's also played some beautys)

3. McLean (will prob overtake Bruce and maybe even Green)

4. Jones

5. Wheatley

Bate is sneaking up, while Moloney and Davey would probably be up there if it weren't for injuries.

For those of you playing at home, Jamar is currently sitting on 10 votes, double his tally from the last 2 years.

Like your thought process, I'm now leaning towards dropping out Macca and putting in Wheats, he has played well this season. One of his better years - and I totally agree when you say quality of ball use is not necessarily a factor!

Deeoldfart, You have Wheatley in second! For him to be in second, gee we have struggled as a side. Then daylight fourth? What about Cam Bruce>?

1: Green (has been our most consistent player and would have polled in every game)

2: McLean (whilst perhaps being our best performed player still yet has been extremely quiet on 2 or more occasions)

3: Davey ( has played some very good games i.e. Freo and North where I would expect him to take out full votes)

4: Miller( has been solid)

5: Dunn( Bailey will reward this kid with alot of votes)

Most Improved: Colin Garland

Best First Year Player: Aussie

Most Corageous: Brad Green(never would have picked that 5 years ago)

Best Team Player: Ben Holland

Most Dissapointing: Jeff White or Michael Newton

Sorry Neita 3000, I can't possibly fit Dunn into my top 5. Even Top 10! Michael newton has been injured, so thats a bit harsh. Agree with Garland.

Davey at 3 is a surprise, I would have Wonaemirri in front of him having kicked 19.3 compared to Davey's 9 goals this year.

Miller has been solid - correct. Green and McLean - I agree.

Michael newton has been injured, so thats a bit harsh. Agree with Garland.

Not all season. He has been a real disappointment. Gets dropped from the AFL after an insipid display and then gets suspended and then injured.

With MFC struggling up forward, the world was Newton's oyster and he is languishing in Sandy 2nds. Here is the coaches report on him from last week:

Michael had nine possessions, but didn’t play as well as he did in his last two games, where he displayed a lot more energy and attacked the ball much harder. Having said that, he still competed hard on a wet and windy day, and presented well at the ball. Another positive to come out of Michael’s performance was his defensive pressure, which will continue to be a focus for him

As in past years he should be tearing the Sandy 2nds apart with his ability. He is not interested at all in football and it shows.

Huge disappointment by any measure.

Well, he was listed in the paper for some time with 3-4 weeks next to his name, thats a fair block of the season. The report was disapponiting, yes. Didn't he have an interrupted pre-season? If your behind the eight-ball in fitness it does tell on the body especially for a young KPP.

How old is he?

Wasn't he part of the same draft as Lynden Dunn and Matthew Bate?

He was cherry ripe round 1. We have had 13 rounds this year and he is in Sandy 2nds for the past 3 weeks with a poor report card for his past week. He played capably in the last 10 rounds of 2007.

Either you're his Mum or you have not got a clue about Newton. I cant fathom why you would then refer to another poster's valid assessment as harsh. Strange.

I think I'm allowed an opinion. So if I think someone's post is harsh, I have a right to an opinion, the same as you referring to someone's assessment as valid of which I can't fathom.

Yes he did play the last 10 rounds last season. And looked impressive. So I have got some clue. Whats to say he isn't carrying a niggling injury he can't shake. Don't forget it is only a poor report card for 1 week. He's past two games prior were considered positive.

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
