    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

6. Moloney - outstanding in close. So strong and fierce at the contest. Clearance king.

5. Jones - run hard all day was super impressive. Used the ball better, chased hard and made good decisions.

4. Johnson - My man PJ needed to stand up and he sure did! Career best game.

3. Morton - Untidy at times but just covers so much ground. Loves Subiaco... So much space!

2. Bruce - Like Morton, untidy on occassions but was influential.

1. Bennell - Gotta love this kid. Coming on in leaps and bounds! Little GUN

Apologies to Grimes, who was great, and Maric who bounced back well after last weeks dreadful game. Miller's first half was great too.

agree 100%... everyone doubted Bruce and he comes out with the second most disposals for out team and caps if off with a goal!! give this man some credit!!

And having said this.. I doubted PJ and he played really well against Cox.. I stand corrected!

6. Bruce (yeah i went there!)

No surprise that the hard tag on Davey as our #1 mid released Jones to play his best game ever. Replace McDonald and McLean with Blease and Scully and the midfield will be finally where we need it to be.

Can anyone explain to me how Davey featured in any votes yesterday? Defensive pressure was down, run and carry was down as was his overall impact. I thought Nicoski did a very good job on him. Strange.

For what it is worth:

6 Moloney - Since learning to stay healthy and lower his eyes has improved significantly.

5 Jones - Great game. He, Morton and Bruce would have covered some serioues KMs.

4 Morton - Ran to space forward of the ball early then played impressively across half back.

3 Bruce - His weight of numbers and creative run outweighs the lack of accuracy at times.

2 Johnson - Surprised me. Drops the ball like a monkey falling out of a tree which leads to some absolute howlers. Same with Bruce.

1 Bennell - Impressed me at the Intra-Club and just continues to improve. Showed more dash and positive play than previous weeks.

Honourable mention goes to Miller, Grimes, Maric and Bartram who all showed some positive signs.

Well done Johnson, best game I have seen him play in a long time. I can't actually remember seeing him play as well as that. Got killed in the taps but made up for it around the ground as he should. Well done.

Bennell is becoming one of my favourite players, what a gun we have here.

Moloney is having a great season, showing what he can do with full fitness.

Davey was stiffled but still managed to exert his influence at important times. By head-and-shoulders our best player; our only elite player. (Green's probably the only other.)

Brucey worked his arse off and fair play to him. Probably a bit late in his career to teach him how to kick and handball but whatever, still was constantly involved in the match. Should've gone in hard at the body once on the far wing (from the TV cameras) but he shirked it, but still played well.

Jones had a great game, worked hard, got the hard balls and was always involved. One of his best matches, and a great goal too. Well done.

Really? I didn't think so, I thought he improved on last week. Still not great, but I wouldn't call him WOG.

Thought he was in the bottom 6 players for us.

Finally got some glue on his hands in the second half, but he is so so bad below his knees it's painful to watch. I know we can't blame a player for a physical inability, but the game is way too quick for someone like Bate to spend 5 minutes fumbling the ball at ground level.

Stef Martin and PJ can pick balls up cleanly off the deck. That Bate can't is a massive worry. He is pretty much a half-a-body player.

Well I guess you could say that he improved on last week, yet still remains in our bottom 6. :lol:

You're right about his below-knee skills. He really needs to work on it if he's going to extend his career.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
