    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 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.

I think he'll be the one.

He's already averaging 2 goals a game, effortlessly, in a team where the delivery is hopeless if not rare. That's without a preseason, and being thrown into a whole new world.

I can't see him having a lean patch, maybe a bad game here and there, but I don't see how he can be beaten on the lead, in the air and on the deck, he's a nightmare.

I think he'll be targeted with the rough stuff as he starts to make more of an impact, but he has a bit of mongrel in him and I reckon he'll thrive on it.

I think he'll be a superstar, Jackovich and Davey mixed together.

That's if he gets a fair run from the injury gods. Touch wood.

[censored].... ha!

Sorry, had to be done.

But in all seriousness, I believe Jurrah could be anything. The only worry that I have is about whether or not he can cope with the pressures that come with being an AFL player.

You can tell by the smile on his face that he loves playing in the AFL.

There is only one thing standing between him and super-stardom and that's Melbourne being [censored]. Imagine what he's going to be like when we consistently get more than 5 inside 50's a game!

At the rate that he's playing, even if he never ever improves, he'll be a very good player.

Him and Watts up forward is going to be magic. Add Aussie and it's party time :D

He is a freak of nature. Why do pre-seasons when you have the talent like LJ? I hope DB doesn't work him too hard over the pre season, I just want to see him play his natural game, without the regimes and the structures of modern football. I want to see him bring his natural Yuenmendu game to the MCG.

The Jurrahcane has only reached a Category 2....prepare to batten down the hatches....

Built like Michael O'Loughlin -Taller

Moves like Lance Franklin - Faster

Ground skills of Aaron Davey - Smoother

Aerial skills of Russell Robertson - Higher

Goal kicking skills of A. Jackovich - Freakier

I don't know about you lot, but I'm so worried he will disappoint that I don't want to jinx him.

At this stage I'll say that of the players we've seen debut in the last 10-15 years, only Farmer and Davey got the fans to fever pitch like this. (Jacko debuted earlier, I think)

Liam's skills are simply stunning, and unlike so many kids who look a million bucks in the youtube videos, his skills seem to work even better in the big league than they do in the lesser ones... Given the framework he's working within, there are cearly less things likely to hold him back than the usual mortal. However, he's still not even 21 yet. A LOT of things still have to happen. He has to play 22 rounds, finals, he has to cope with the best or second-best defender, he has to cope with a tag and with a bit of tall-poppy syndrome... I noticed last week he was getting VERY vocal.

I don't mean to sound pessimistic. I have a lot of confidence in him. But I'm just keeping a lid on it for now.

I have been replaced!!!!!

Jaded!

How could you??????

I'm depressed :(

I'm sorry, but I think we've jinxed our man so I'm trying to keep a lid on it.

Besides, many football orgasms have been had over Brocky, so no need to feel depressed.

"Brocky from the centre to Juuuuurrrraaaahh" :wub::wub:

I think we've just found our 2010 marketing slogan.

Certainly more subtle than They Know We're Cumming.......I mean Coming.

"The Melbourne Football Club, sexually frustrated since 1964.

Jump on board for some satisfaction in 2010 and beyond"

Genius. I want that sticker on my car! :lol:

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
