    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.

Thought I'd see where we think our current top 10 players are.

1- Nathan Jones

2- Mitch Clark

3- James Frawley

4- Mark Jamar

5- Jack Grimes

6- Liam Jurrah

7- Colin Sylvia

8- Sam Blease

9- Jack Trengove

10- Jeremy Howe

apologies to Jordie Mckenzie.

Maybe view it as, if these players were out injured, it would hurt our chances. Not based on potential (ie. Watts, T Mcdonald).

In no particular order;

Jones

Clark

Frawley

Jamar

Howe

Watts

Grimes

Martin

Jurrah

Trengove

Top 6 pick themselves, and yes, even Watts.

The next 4 are difficult - Grimes & Trengove must be in our Top 10, and they MUST continue to push to be in our Top 5 - I don't think they are there yet. Jurrah makes the list based on his past seasons scoring output. Stef Martin is the one that will be argued by some, but I think big Stef is a valuable contributor to the team. We have a lot of players that could be put in the 6-10 range, which is part of the reason why we are stuggling.

The thing that will continue to hurt us is the fact that we have minimal in the Top 50 in the league. Yeah, sure, the main one published is Sheehan's, but still, I would only have Jones and Clark in the 30+ range based on this year. We need to have 5 or 6 players regularly in the top 30 in my view.

On average 5 of the top 10s above have been out of the team for a while (Jurrah, Clark) and /or currently (Watts Frawley, Jamar)...

Maybe a good sign for next year.

Howe

Jurrah

Rivers

I wanted Blease in this list but he remains potential at this stage, even though the potential is quickly becoming reality.

I also wanted T McD, but he just misses out.

Some may question my placing of Rivers, but he remains in the top 2-3 effective footballers on our list and we would have been further stuffed over the past 3 years without him.

Rivers

Sylvia

Trengove

Watts

Note that there are only 2-3 midfielders on that list. If we want to improve, that number has to bump up to 4-5.

Clark - Would have kicked 60+ in a bottom 3 side if he played the whole year

Frawley - Easily our best defender. AA and gun

Jones - Proven me wrong, continues to improve will be a 300 game player

Sylvia - Has it all, judged way to harshly

Watts - Showing great signs. Will be a star

Trengove - Been down this year yet still in top 3 disposals for club

Grimes - Showing good signs that he can play a whole year

McDonald - Second year player holding down CHB. Solid!

Jurrah - Proven goal kicker, perfect foil for Clark

Howe - Elite runner, elite mark, not the best kick but a real asset when plays to strengths

As with Dr. Mubutu - Definitely need more mids in these lists!

If you mean those on our list though not necessarily available this week, and in no specific order:

FRAWLEY, GARLAND, T MCDONALD, GRIMES, JONES, BLEASE, TRENGOVE, WATTS, CLARK, HOWE. Probably Jurrah over Garland if fit and not distracted or held up elsewhere for some reason.

Only 3.5 mids there, which I guess highlights our biggest problem area.

A lot of love for LJ on these lists. Unfortunately, I get the (unsubstantiated) feeling he may not be on our list next year.

Really rate him when he's on song, but that has only occurred a handful of times, and not in quite some time.

Is he in Neeld's plans for 2013?

Ah, I could have fallen for this trap, but I count 5-6 players on that list that should be part of our midfield going forward...

Yeah the Daylight brothers, they're handy.

Always up and about early in the morning like clockwork, pretty bloody focussed during early afternoon games, but they fade-out during twilight games (not even going to mention where they are during Night games).

Still the will burn you given half a chance...

I can't believe the lack of love for Rivers. Hardly anyone is getting him credit, except NSC who generously gave Riv two positions in the top ten!

Jamar just missed out. Important but doesn't do enough around the ground.

T.Mac also an honorable mention.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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,
