  • 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.

A mate who is a WCE fan asked me today if there were any other Melbourne players besides David Neitz to have played 300 games. My answer was 'NO'. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong here? I did think of Norm Smith, but I don't think he played that many. Over to you my fellow posters!

Hopefully Brad Green or somebody else can get to 300 games? :(

I don't think James McDonald and Russell Robertson will make it to 300....but you never know.

No offense to Green but I hope he doesn't make it. It would indicate that we, as a team haven't evolved enough. He isn't in the class of a Harvey or Crawford, players who played past their prime but still contributed to winning sides.

a lot of it comes down to playing finals.

brock currently has 86 and is 23. another 8 year (31) at 20 games per year gets him 250.

jones has 61 games and is yet to turn 22, could notch up the 250.

bartram has 52 games and is just 21, could be a candidate if he gets back into the team and stays around.

green as just turned 28 and has 193. if he plays another 4 years the 250 is available. if we play finals in those four years, he could get to 280 pretty easily by the time he is 32.

other than those players, not many older players have the chance to get there, rivers, davey, miller, mcdonald, robbo, wheelan will all drop short.

younger players ie frawley, grimes could get there but it is way to early to tell.

this will all change of course if the afl introduces a 26 game season, like they are discussing.

ps while etting this info, found the danny hughes page, where they have somehow managed to link his stats in with the old danny hughes, played his first season aged 1 apparently? haha

Looking at the list Cale Morton has got off to a flyer in terms of games played deanox.

Thanks for the feedback and discussion guys! 'Yes, Yes, Yes, NO'. Sounds like the Vicar of Dibley doesn't it? It would be good if someone like Cale could make it to the big 300.

I find it staggering that second to Neitz is Flower on 272.

Seems crazy we haven't had more players up towards 300 - sort of echoes us never having a Century goalscorer

At least we have 12 Premierships......... ;)

BAM! I never, ever tire of using this argument against my Crows-supporting mates. There is no comeback!

One this century would be nice to brag about though :P

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
