  • 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.

I know Scully went mental last night and has the nomination for Rising Star stitched up and that should be highlighted of course, but Jordie was absolutely fkn magic.

His tackling and quick hands out of tight contests rarely missed a target. On top of that the boy was everywhere, and even as a huge fan of the kid, I didnt appreciate his engine enough.

He's not flying under the radar or anything but im not sure he is getting appropriate recognition. Reminds me of Junior with his tackling pressure and clearance work. You just cant rate that sort of effort highly enough.

Well done Jordie

Badly, badly missed last weekend

In the top ten required players without a shadow of a doubt

No wonder Adelaide wanted him really really bad, they need someone like him

He was fantastic especially the last quarter as already mentioned he was badly missed last week and could have made a big diffirence too the result, as his replacement last week was Steph Martin who was horrible.

Anyway this kid is something special.

He tackles like his life depends on it. I remember a situation where a Doggie was running out of a tight contest, and McKenzie tackled and slipped, so only caught his jumper, and still managed to drag the Doggies player down. What a gun.

An integral part of our future and still a rookie! Wow, imagine how potent our midfield could be when they have had a couple of years playing together!

Last night

McKenzie

Warnock

Grimes

JT

Skulley

Green

Jones

were all top notch that list goes on for last night to be honest, we played better footy for 3/4 and I offended by the umpiring, they made errors in all areas, goal boundary and central.

Skulley was BOG for me and we got a glimpse into the future and it looks very exciting.

How/why was he missed? A player this good at his age?

The footy department are looking veeeeery very clever.

BP's first rookie draftee, I believe. And looking like a hum-dinger.

If Jordie had not already done so in the first few rounds, he certainly cemented his spot in our best 22 last night. Surprises like this bloke are making going to the footy so enjoyable right now. Hard nut too, imagine how good he will be when he puts another 5 or 6 kilo`s on!

Love Jordie. He's fast becoming one of my favourites. Really nice bloke too.

Interesting what CC said about him on 7 last night "We knew we had a beauty within the first two months he was with us..." or something like that.

His hands are fantastic. While others fumbled, he was clean. Gysbert looks to be that one touch player too. Scully, Trengove, Mckenzie, Gysbert. Bang bang bang bang.

Because of Sculls and JT he is getting lost in the side and very few recognise just how good he is, Brereton mentioned he is a hard at it in and under, well we know he is much more than that.

His kicking and hand skills are very good and if it was any other year the media would be singing his praises.

I noticed how he set off several chains of play that resulted in goals. What about Grimes he is flying under the radar as well.

He had corrective hip surgery in 2007 and missed most of that season and part of the 08 season so wasn't obviously seen in his last two years of junior footy.

I remember BP saying at the time, as soon as the draft was over his first call was to Jordie!

Must have seen something in him pretty early on, but BP is proving to be a very good talent spotter!

I don't think Grimes is flying under the radar- I think he is being developed in the backline- but before long - maybe after a preseason or two to develop his stamina will end up like a Hodge type.Play him anywhere ,but midfield will be best position for him.

What I meant by that is the lack of media attention Grimes and Jordie get, they are very rarely mentioned when commentators discuss the Dees. It's like they're our own little secret.

Wasn't it Hudson too? Not a small bloke by any means.

The less attention MFC receive from the media the better.

I can remember a few years ago, when melbourne had a KILLER winning streak and ended up top of the ladder, the media was all over the MFC, subsequently MFC lost games and just made the 8.

Media STAY AWAY, nothing for you to see here.

    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,

    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'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.
