  • 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.


Mikes top 50

Had a great year. But less effective than other players because he was surrounded by a lot of rubbish.

Also, if I was unbiased, I could name 50 players that had better seasons than our Aaron Davey.

But, I am biased...

It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

Some of you got that, I know you did. You had a chuckle...

Like anyone cares anyway...

I must admit I thought Davey would be on the cusp at best, then I went to the 41-50 placed players, and there's a few in there that Davey easily has pipped for consistency alone.

I think perhaps Sheahan rates the player's team's ladder position more highly than he should. ie, if Davey really was that good, then why is his team 16th?

Flawed logic, IMO, but I guess in some cases it's useful to put a wedge between names you just can't separate.

It's next year and beyond that Davey should be able put the trackwork to use in a more damaging and noticable fashion.

It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

Your influences boggle and bedazzle rpfc :)

Had a good laugh at who he had in there.

Maxwell, Davis and Hargrave ?????

It is easy to settle this one. Ask anyone who they would rather have Davey or the other three. Can you imagine a $2.5m offer for one of them?

Doesn't necessarily mean he had a better year than those guys. Just that he's a better player (or worth more to the club than the other blokes)

Sheahan's top 50 does nothing more than promote discussion about how far off the mark Mike Sheahan is.

What the hell is Lance Franklin doing there? Davey had a better, more consistent year than he did.

No he didn't. Honestly no Melbourne player deserved to make it this year and i can't see what he has done wrong with his top 50. There is no position in which he is totally wrong. Remember its all subjective

I know it's subjective. That's what opinions are.

I believe Franklin did not have as good a year as Davey. Franklin was up and down, some games good, some games bad. Davey was more consistent IMO.

Every year this list comes out and everyone has a coronary over it. Who cares? It's some guy's opinion. Write your own Top 50 if you're that offended.

Surely everyone's used to us getting ignored by now.

i was more Offended this morning when i read Mike Sheahan's article about a Drawn Grand Final.

Mike of course wants extra time to be played if the scores are tied.

SHUT UP MIKE. If the game is a draw it is replayed the following week

I like the Replay, & yes i was there at both in '77

You are such a dull journalist, only ever reporting on last weeks or yesterdays news.

Time for the Pethadiene & retirement village old man. SHUT IT.

Well.. hes probablya bit stiff to miss out as theres a handful in there who might well have not had as good a year as we believe Flash did but then that might speak to our point of view and no an overview.

Ol' Aaron better get his skates on and put in a few blinders and show them their errors , as well as earning his new big paycheck ;)

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    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
