  • 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.

The following questions revolve around the current list, so ignore players that exited before 2008.

Which current MFC player polled the highest amount of possessions on debut with 20?

Which current MFC player polled the lowest amount of possessions on debut?

Which current MFC player kicked the most goals on debut with just 2!!?

Can Addam Maric break any of these records? As you can see, there haven't been any amazing debuts statistically or goal kicking wise when you look at the current list.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brent Moloney actually gained 24 possessions (and 3 brownlow votes) in his MFC debut in 2005 V Essendon, but he doesn't fit the above criteria as he had already debuted for Geelong in 2003.

Nathan Carroll of all players holds the record for most marks on debut with 6 back in round 4 2003 V Geelong

I'll post answers in a day or so.

I'd guess that Ricky Petterd had about 20 possies on debut, as for the lowest, Col (both Sylvia & Garland) had one handball I think. No idea about the goal kicker, but I'd guess Newton.

Dunn kicked 2 goals against Geelong rd 6 2006 on debut

correct!!!!

So if Maric gets 21 touches, 7 marks and 3 goals, he's smashed the record of all debutants.

No pressure :lol:

Most touches - Petterd (20) rd 5 2007 V Sydney

Least touches - Rivers (0) rd 19 V Geelong

Most Goals - Dunn (2) Rd 6 2006 V Geelong

Most Marks - Carroll (6) Rd 4 2003 V Geelong

Sylvia wasn't far behind with 1 handball and one 1 tackle on debut.

Don't forget that he also knocked out Leigh Colbert in the dying seconds of the game. Not many players can boast that on debut.

Also, when Sylvia played his second game a few weeks later, he kicked a goal with his first ever kick but this somehow seems to be bypassed by those in charge of record books.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the greatest debut by a MFC player would have been?

What was Jako's debut like?

Didn't Daren Cuthberson kick 7 @ 6 in his fist two games?

Jakovich debuted in a game vs WC in Perth where the whole team managed 2 goals in a 10 goal + hiding, I don't think he kicked either goal

I think I remember that game, we had something like 4 key forwards playing, Lyon, Bennett, Schwartz and Jako. The day was a disaster but it signaled a new exciting era for our forwards.

    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

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.
