    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.

i have just seen the footage of him kicking that freakish goal and i am gobsmacked! this bloke has not done one bit of pre season and already he is ripping it up a new one! my first live footage of him was when i went to the port game at the G. i have neva ever drooled over a player as i did that day! so now it makes me wonder just how good can this unkown specimen be?! has kicked a goal everygame since his debut with two bags of four, any player that kicks four in an AFL game is a bloody good effort especially when u havent even done a pre season in ur single life! he has it all, leap, skills, freakish thing! watever u wanna call it! i mean once this guys puts on a couple of muscle and height i am dead scared of wat he could turn out!? this bloke will bring in the crowd for us in the next couple of years! i see it now actually? spencer taps it to scully with a lighting handpass to a running trengove who hits jurrah laceout on the [censored], jurrah turns around and slots in a goal. dees defeat carlton in 2012 grand final by one point. its a tree way joint norm smith medalist winner , Jurrah, Scullly and Trengove.

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:

    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,
