Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Our Tom

I'm confused. I thought it was announced in April/May. Didn't Naitanui already win it? B)

HA! The reason I love footy. So many had him absolutely an unbackable favourite. What a great evener.

Hanneberry for mine from Rockliff. Trengove should be third based on his early season work, but Scully might get him with his end of season form. Fourth? Maybe Basti...

that stupid rule makes him ineligable as you said, therefore wont get any votes, not how it works

at a guess, 9 ppl 5,4,3,2,1

1. Hanneberry 43 votes

2. Scully 38 votes

3. Bastinac/Rockliff

4. Rockliff/ Bastinac

5. Ried/Stratton/garlett

Hannebery will get it over Scully.

Heard G Lyon on MMM Saturday and he spoke about his vote going to DH, just, with Scully a close second.

SEN radio will be covering from 12pm if you can get near a radio/net etc.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/rising-star-hype-for-daniel-hannebery/story-e6frf9jf-1225912528921

Check out Jon Anderson's fantastic :wacko: preview of the Rising Star today. States that Hannebery had a consistent season with 5 big games against Melbourne (twice), Haw, Rich & Nth.

Hopefully Hannebery isn't given any extra votes for the accompanying picture to the article, a Dees V Swans game in Canberra from 2009. Maybe Jon Anderson was confused by the picture.

Bookies say Hannebery is a shoo in. The betting market is as follows:

Hannerbery: $1.21

Tom Rockliff: $5.50

Tom Scully: $8:50

Anthony Morabito: $26.00

Jackson Trengove: $26:00

Nic Natanui: $34.00 (what a blow out from early in the year)

Ryan Bastinac: $34.00

Of course, I am biased, but for consistency of performance I reckon Scully is over the odds. But with the Dees not winning enough games, it may count against him. Any thoughts?

I reckon Scully's year is slightly underrated. He'd be my top pick.

He pips Hannebery in every 'average' category for a midfielder. More disposals, tackles, clearances, contested possessions, uncontested possessions, 1%'s, inside 50's, rebound from 50's - everything. And it's his first year in the AFL system. His engine is already elite, which is extraordinary, and he has explosive pace that Hannebery and most lack.

His best game is the equal of Hannebery's best game, but his next best probably trails Hannebery's next couple of best.

Hannebery will win it and is certainly deserving, but Scully has legitimate claims.

Scully also comfortably had the best game of any player nominated for the RS this season, when he collected 39 disposals against the Dogs.

His work this year is underrated, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that he does so much "inside" work that doesn't get noticed. Probably why McKenzie didn't get nominated either. It's only in the last 4-5 games of the year that Scully has really started to back his pace and run forward of the packs, and I think that will shoot him up the rankings today and he'll come second.

Agree - I haven't seen enough of Hanneberry or Martin to make a call on them but they'd need to have been extremely good to be better.

I won't be unhappy if Tom comes 2nd - there's greater acknowledgement ahead for him.

I dare say Hanneberry will get it. Scully's been good...very good but also a few lesser days...as have they all. Hanneberry's game has a bit more flash to it..he often gets to finish work ..not just start and link it. They are different players..simple as that really. I think as Tom's finishing improves he will have a much 'bigger' game effect than Hanneberry but at present its probably fitting the Swan pips him over the line.

Unfortunately, under the packs doesn't get you much votes.

Listening to the rising star on SEN.

30 minute interview with Mrs Scott.... rivetting stuff.

Yes, same! A person sharing my office today just mentioned, 'how long is this going to go for, the 18 year olds must be bored to tears'.

I told him that it was Brad/Chris Scott's mother and it's nice to get the mums involved on this occasion. He said he was ok with that but 'who is the boring sap doing the interviews'?

Yep, hard to argue with that when Quartermain has a microphone in his hands!

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
