  • 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.

We want you to become the biggest and the best- 5 more cms & 21 more kls. However, the kilos to turn to muscle. Great future all ahead of you- work your butt off and you will get there. Jimmy Stynes will keep an eye on you. Best of luck with recovery.

This could end up being a great pick (as with any pick) but the video footage of this kid are very impressive. It will be interesting watching Gawn and Spencer fighting it out for a spot.

think gawn is ahead of spencer even with the knee injury. spencer is on the rookie list for one. gawn can take a contested mark, kick the goal iwhile resting in the forward line and is a lot more coordinated than the big spence. i really like this pick and think he'll be alright. really think he'll be quite damaging offensively, just hope he doesn't end up like max bailey and not be able to get on the park.

I have just watched the highlights of this unbelievable big athlete. This young man could be anything- actually could end up a megaSTAR.Best recruit in this draft or at least the potential. Unbelievable- are our midfielders going to LOVE this hulk.

Gawnie go and get them- after making sure your recovery is definate.

Very impressed with his highlight reel. The boy can take a grab.

Was warming to the idea of taking him at 18 as he fitted a specific need, so was thrilled to see him last until pick 34.

Fingers crossed he can get his body right and fulfill his potential.

I have to agree, he was a great pick at 34, and I wasn't too worried about picking him at 18 if necessary.

He ended up being the first ruckman picked in the draft, which says something about him.

Looking forward to seeing him in the red and the blue. With his size, he could be ready for AFL level footy much sooner than Spencer.

To be honest, I like the look of him and have high hopes for Gawn, but to say "he can take a grab" as many have... from his limited highlights he does tap it to himself a bit, not exactly a brilliant one grab overhead mark.

It does show good ball control and smarts which excite me, but at AFL level to use the term "he can take a grab" he'd want to be plucking them overhead with outstretched arms. His height advantage won't be as great when he steps up.

All the best Max, may you be a dominant ruckman for the MFC for many years to come.

But a few people are getting well ahead of themselves...

And still growing. Turned 18 last Saturday.
He also stated that he has grown 2cm in the last year; 10cm the year before. To be eating 7 Vita Brits at the age of 2 is unbelievable. Edited by High Tower

Thanks to Chook (I think) for pointing out his record on the gameday thread.

He's the first ever to crack 1000 in a home and away season. If we play a couple of finals and he does what he normally does, he'll go from second into first over Goldy.

Thought it needed it's own thread/bump.

Was his first game a night match against Essendon? Think he kicked a goal. Think we won. Think it might have been Jeremy Howe first game also. 

I remember that game. Big pressure relieving win for Dean Bailey after allegations of the team playing 'bruise free footy' (not entitely inaccurate).

Maxy (who played a solid game) took a cracking grab on Fletcher and fittingly missed from 10 metres out directly in front.

    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
