  • 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.

Newton - that settles it

Morton - not afl standard

Bennell - will be dropped

Warnock - not afl standard

Morton is AFL standard, has had a very interrupted year, only 2nd year. Will be much better next year.

Pretty harsh, but probably fair assessments.

- Newton was brought it to make 100% sure he's not up to it. Will certainly be delisted now, what a spud.

- Bennel is very clean and has great pace, he'll be a player but does need to be dropped just down on form.

- Warnock first week back so probably gets a bit of latitude, but really terrible game, doesn't look a part of the future and i prefer JoelMac

- Morton has soo soo soo much talent. Some of his marking today was outstanding, its just his kicks kept on missing the targets. If he hit his targets by foot he'd be one of the best youngsters in the comp. Still has huge potential

Im getting a bit tired of hearing.. this player of that has talent to burn...but cant bloody kick for sh!t. Its football.. it has GOT to be a prerequisite that you can kick to a decent AFL standard. even Scully needs to hone this craft..its not good.

Surprised Watts getting negativity. Some of his non-stat type efforts were commendable. Keep it up.

Cale....footsteps ??

Bruce.. 1/3 briliant 1/3 solid 1/3 sus disposals ( the other 2/3 were much better btw )

Jurrah.....no words required

Green... not best day

Rivers... a fair effort then he does some silly stuff too. Needs to get rid of that ( pls)

Bennell... did he catch the flight ?

Junior...what a trooper

Tregove...long year hey

Bail - couldnt get into it

Bartram - hmmm

Dunn - under-done

Frawley - hard day at offoce.. probably wrong office

Garland - rusty...very

Jamar - must have felt a tad lonely

Jones - so much effort for so little

Beamer - tried ...but as effective as Jones

Scully - has to work on efective disposals... a lot of good work comes undone.

Warnock - pantsed

Wonaeamirri - 50/50

McKenzie - doesnt give in this kid

Newton - spud dud & looking for a job

Yeah, he is AFL standard as a whole. But today he looked out of his depth and it is his third season. He has played some great games in the past, but today was a shocker.

He looks good when he takes a mark, but you hold your breath when he kicks it. That stuff up when he had the ball 30 metres out directly in front summed up his day. Not confident to nail the set shot, he passed it off, only to kick it higher than he did long, making it an easy chop out by the Port defender, leading to a 2 goal turn around and the start of Ports run on.

They were harsh assessments, but they are based on today only, because thats what this analysis is for. I am a huge fan of Bennell but he has been quiet the last few weeks, and today was very poor. Give Maric a crack at the G.

Gee we missed Davey & Sylvia.

Batram can't kick. He is a complete liability in the backline as a replacement for Grimes. Should be used as a tagger and nothing else.

Wonna week in week out can't win a contest to save his life. Needs to seriously address his body on body work in the off-season, bc chasing just isn't enough.

    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
