  • 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.

3) Jamar - 5 goals, wow!

6 - Sylvia - great for 4 quarters

5 - Jamar - outstanding as a forward

4 - Robertson - firing parting statements

3 - Jetta - give him some muscles and we've got one

2 - Moloney - was beaten but persisted

1 - Frawley - must be given a vote for not acting disappointed when taken off Fevola as part of the tanking plan .

6 - Sylvia - It has been a breakout year for him, and he performed well again today

5 - Jamar - Never thought I'd see the day where he kicks 5! Possible FF? :P

4 - Jetta - His best game easily. He showed smarts today we hadn't yet seen from him

3 - Robertson - He's still got it. Sad he's in the wrong place at the wrong time

2 - Moloney - Kept working his ass off, and deserves the B&F this year

1 - Davey - Good second half, quiet first half

Brock, unless you are injured, for a senior player one of your worst!

Yes, what a disgrace that he couldn't perform at FF. I was expecting a 10 goal haul! :rolleyes::lol:

He played 80% of the game up forward with the ball sailing straight over his head. It is never going to be his natural position, and that Bailey kept him out of the centre shows you how highly he rates McLean and his ability to help us win the ball.

When pushed into the middle, he got some nice clearances and moved the ball forward with class, as per usual.

What worries me the most about McLean is just how slow he is. His running technique looks really awkward and I can only assume he is still injured because he was beaten on the lead a few times by the defender who started behind him.

Agree it looks as if his about to start running faster by his body motion yet he stays at the same speed.

Hopefully all he needs is a solid pre season.

If anything it might actually support your point of view that he is carrying an injury. I hope that is the case. Because he moves like molasses at the moment and the 20% he played in the middle was insignificant. And for 80% he was up forward as a smaller forward he hardly got a sniff. But I agree with you that he must not be 100% fit. I hope he gets an uninterrupted pre season and regains that yard or two of pace he has lost and the necessary fitness you need for a full season.

So are we to write off this year as an injury-caused abberation? If so he's going to want to pick it up next year. If he doesn't, I hold grave concerns. If his effectiveness is completely taken away just because he lost a yard, then we have a problem. And so does he.

I don't normally like to comment / pick on people's votes as I know they're completely subjective, but I can only assume your omission of Jamar was just an oversight. I find it very hard to believe that someone could kick 5 goals and not be one of the best 6 players on the ground.

Thats just the way i saw it. Not that i take much notice of dream team points,Jamar received only58 points. it was possibly MJ's best game for the MFC, however 6 kicks one hand pass imo is not worthy of a BOG vote, even though 5 of those 6 kicks were goal, and at Full forward thats your job. imo the guys that i voted for had more impact to get the ball into the forward line.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
