    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.

Harsh on Petterd. I'd call Jurrah the burst player. Petterd is just growing in confidence week by week.

So would i normally but Jurrah played more of a 4-qtr game today, whereas Petterd seemed to flash in and out of the game quite a bit. Not one of his better performances but not bad by any means.

Scary to think how much better Jurrah can become with a couple of pre-seasons and extra muscle in him. You can just sense he's growing more and more in confidence every week and is trying more things now. Had a couple of little fumbles, but continued to present and be dangerous all day.

Sylvia - underperformed yet again

Yet again? He's been terrific for most of the games he's played this year. He was quite good today without setting the world on fire imo....

He's the 3rd best player at our club after Brad Green and Aaron Davey....

Probably not directly related to 3 word analysis, but :

Umpires Bloody shithouse. Decision against Frawley 90 metre off the ball must rank as the decision of the year. Eddie McDickhead would have taken them to court if it had happened against Collingwood.

Statisticians mean nothing:

Ignores Stef's shepherd of Jurrah's goal.

Ignored Jettas tackle on the man mountain front on ,which lead to a goal

Ignored Jonesy's efforts that set us up with his COMMITTED approach.

Ignored Brad Miller letting Dodd know that is he wants to fight Jurrah he is going to have to get past him. Thats why we need him to look after Jurrah (Doesnt need much looking after'!!) and also to provide the protection from School Footy to big kid footy for that unmentioned new player.

The players all showed their appreciation of these efforts.

Jimmy doesnt need a stat to be effective.

your kidding.... right? no chance he will play on, the game has passed him by, a fantastic servant of the played, but his time is up

The leadership must come from somewhere. It certainly isn't coming from Bruce and Davey isn't quite there yet.

Based on todays performance, I think McDonald has got another year. In fact, I think he's been quite good all year.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
