  • 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.

Take your pick after that ...

Beat me to it. At least jones had a go, so he gets 5 from me. Grimes looked composed, though i'm not sure how many goals were kicked on him. bruce would be next but doesn't really deserve it as he was wasteful. Brock could have got a vote, lots of possies, 6 clearances, but efficiency of only 54% sums up the sort of day he had. did nothing with it. Davey had 21 touches, did a bit, but too often was pushed onto his right foot.

6 Sylvia

5 Jones

4 Grimes

3 Bruce

2 Jamar (31 hitouts, pity none went to advantage that I saw. Collingwood had 17 hit outs total)

1 Frawley (at least he went hard I thought)

Yeah, I might get burnt with that decision to give him votes, but I just thought he looked good when he had the ball. I was trying to work out who dick kicked the goals on, but a couple of different players were on him throughout the day, and tbh I'm not sure if it was a day where the backs could've done much more. Collingwoods forward line was always open; they really hurt us on the rebound. We were poor through the middle when we lost possession. I think this was because we were attacking up the centre and when we turned it over collingwood would spread, giving them space and we didn't go with them hard enough.

6 - Sylvia

5- Jamar

4 - Bruce

3 - Frawley

I refuse to credit anyone else

bit harsh on jones? probably right about his disposal, but 4 clearances and 13 contested possessions? (which is about 12% of the teams total contested possessions)

1: Watts (officially the first person on demonland to give Watts a vote)

PLEASE TELL ME your 3 votes to frawley are a JOKE his performance along with the rest of

the back line today was the most embarassing display all year

Watts was not even present i saw his face once the whole game. he is no where near ready to play AFL and needs more time in the 2's

JONES was someone you have not acknowledged as contributing well

    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
