  • 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.

6. Moloney...great game again, and with Jonesy, massive work rate.

5. Jones....along with Beamer, positioned us to get back in, and then win the game.

4. Martin...hugely satisfying consolidation of his coming of age...love his work.

3. Jamar...good rucking and good around the ground...taps occasionally too predictable.

2. Rivers...faultless and inspiring, but against a lesser forward line.

1. Jurrah...still wondering what he might do when he REALLY finds his mojo!

6. Gysberts. This guy impresses the absolute hell out of me and I'm giving him a biased best on. Everything he does, in the 4 games he's played has an impact. He's a favourite already.

6 -Jamar - His work when the ball hits the ground sets him above any other big man in the comp

5 - Moloney - Tough old school footballer revelled in the wet conditions

4 - Jones - Like Moloney, conditions suited him. Stepped up when the game was there to be won and delivery into the forward line was fantastic

3 - Jurrah - Best on ground before he copped one high. Was the focus of the whole Lions team for most of the game. The target we have been lacking. Best game for the Dees.

2 - Bail - Good job on Black who had little influence on the result, and had some great touches himself.

1- Wonaeamirri - Hard tackling and great passing kept Melbourne in the game in the first half. Much quicker in a straight line than I remember

Others

Gysberts - Next in line for me. Worked hard at the clearances and gave a second option to Moloney. Looks to be a player.

Rivers - Good game, took some solid marks. Playing the easiest position on the ground, unaccountable loose man in defence against a poor forward line, so not in the votes from me.

Fair enough, and i'm not usually one to question other peoples votes. But what about the numerous occasions today where he saved our bacon by getting a fist on some crucial spoils in one-on-one situations, on the very last line of defence? Saved at least 3 or 4 goals in the 2nd half directly from spoils/marks in the defence line after a Melbourne turnover(s) in the middle.

6 - Rivers. Started poorly but was great at taking defensive marks on whoever was the target. Should never be allowed to be isolated, and we should focus our entire game around having him playing loose.

5 - Moloney. Excellent clearance work. Easily our best player, when it comes to taking advantage of one of our only real strengths - our ruck division.

4 - Jurrah. Hopefully showed himself what he's capable of WHEN HE TRIES. He's not God, and I hope he realises that.

3- Jamar. Could have absolutely broken the game open if he'd kicked at goal accurately. Around the ground and in the ruck, there's very few better than him in the entire AFL.

2 - Jones. Answered his critics in the third quarter, but one good quarter out of 12 is not enough.

1 - Martin. Has finally adapted to the spot we need him to play in. the Jamar-Martin combo is going to be very good in the coming years. I wonder what we'll do when Max Gawn comes on.

Martin will play key position either CHF or CHB. those three will be very powerful. Or as the Russian get older he could play a very effective power forward. Needs to practice his kicking for goal though. Interestingly I was watching him practicing his goal kicking from the 50m arc before the game and did not see him miss once out of a out ten tries, but missed two sitters in successive games. Hopefully practice will make perfect...

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.
