    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.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Joeboy thanks for your efforts during the year, your comments create a lot of discussion and you're on a hiding to nothing. I think we found out when you were away that the three word analysis is not easy to do.

Well done and I hope you're up for it again next year.

BTW I reckon you finished on a high!

Thought the Wheatley "super goal" was a nice touch. I also thought when he was doing the kickins, he was kicking it in to the centre square just to humour the fans rather than for any tactical reason. It made me smile anyway. IMO he played a very good game considering he was on one leg and straight out of not playing for the Casey twos for a few weeks.

Wheels and Robbo had last games to forget, but who cares? It was fantastic that they were both out there. Especially for Wheels that he was able to fall across the line for 150.

Sylvia, Frawley (Riewoldt bag notwithstanding), Morton, Jamar all fantastic. Jeez I can't wait for next year.

Bartram's game was good, but he let himself down with some silly handballs into traffic. Seems to lack a radar as to where he is in relation to teammates and opposition players.

Thing about Jetta and Bennell is that they certainly find themselves around the ball often enough, but are simply disposed of too easily by opponents. Need to work on core strength over the off-season.

I definitley thought he ( Rivers ) was a lot closer to his old self as compared some of the woefull outings of recent times. He ISNT his former self, but was better. Id still trade him though.

trading him might be going to extreme's I could think of many names you would trade before him. I just hope he gets a good injury free preseason in and is ready for 2010. For those that think he was anywhere near his former self don't have a very good memory, however yes he probably was better then other times throughout the year.

Once again, your hatred of McLean is staggering :lol:;)

either youre on drugs.. youve got the wrong bloke..you espied condemned's response to Joey or just incpable of lucid thinking. Might be all.

Where do I hate McLean ?? You were at the same game I take it ?? He certainly wasnt amongst our best but thought he did some good things.

Care to explain..can you

Sylvia - better earlier, handy

I was at a mates house and needed to use the toilet. Nearing the end of doing the buissness i realized there was no toilet paper in the holder. For a fleeting moment i thought the worst as I searched the room for another roll. I had nearly given up when i found a fresh one hiding behind the toilet. I thought to my self, gee thats pretty HANDY.

Cant belive you have ranked our best player of the day along side the softness of a two ply kleenex toliet tissue

    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
