  • 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 have put together a short series of 'Who am I?" I may or may not do more, we'll see how its received.

These are players that played for the Dees, anywhere from the 1900's to current players.
You get 1 guess each per clue,so dont bother with multiple guessing, or multiple posts, I will ignore those.
So make the most of your 1st guess.

1st to guess, with or without needing all the clues, and names the player correctly, gets bragging rights.
(No I dont own a chateau at Bulla ,so there wont be any free weekend tickets to the snow in June 2013.)

A new "Who am I" each week, (open for change)
A new clue will be posted each day. (IF required)
There will be 4 Clues on each player .
Good luck.

If anyone notices a poster that does a multiple post or guesses for 1 clue,could they point out the rules
as it WILL be overlooked,regardless if its the correct answer. If that happens will be misleading to other
posters,thinking this post was also incorrect. *reason just gives more posters a chance to have a guess.

Note: I am NOT on here, 24/7 but I will do my best to ID the winner,before too many pointless guesses are posted.
Disclaimer : anyone that cheats gets beaten over the head with a feather. ONE guess per clue.

If anyone thinks they can stump the masses,and want to chair the quiz for the week, all you need to do
is have a min of 5 players with 4 clues on each player.
Send me a PM, I will add you to the roster,then give you a short brief.

Scoring System:

Quiz Master : No points scored if the quiz is guessed correctly with the opening guess.
1 point for 1st clue : 2 pts (if 2nd clue required) : 4 pts (3rd clue required) : 8 pts (4th clue required)
15 points for stumping the masses.

The Masses : 2 Point bonus if you are the 1st to post and get it correct.
4 pts scored on the 1st clue : 3 pts on the 2nd clue : 2 pts on the 3rd clue : 1 pt on last clue.


CLUBHOUSE LEADERS :

24 points: Stingrays -- 6 correct guesses (+ 4 bonus points)
23 points: Whispering_Jack -- 4 correct guesses (+6 for 3 questions) (+ 2 bonus points)
19 points: gsmith12 -- 4 correct guesses (+ 4 bonus points)

I feel I will not have much of a chance at many of these questions, at best I have memory of 1998- onwards haha

No it was not a fluke. I am more familiar with MFC and it's players than most, my age helps as I have been a supporter since the early fifties.

Famer and McKenzie were the only two possibilities IMO and I went for the less obvious.

Nice thread.

Let me know if you need some help :)

Well "young grasshopper" I am not buying into your feeble attempt to sway my agenda ;)

A history lesson wont hurt to broaden your knowlegde of ex or existing players.

I will mix it up a bit, so you wont feel left out.

A wild guess sometimes could be the correct one. its just a bit of fun

Well "Barry Jones" ... if you keep nailing the correct answer that quickly. I may have to rethink my clues.

I dont want to be too vague, or make them too easy either.

I am aware there are lof ot posters here, that have a very good memory of our players. But didnt expect that one to go that quick.

Let me know if you need some help :)

I only planned to do a few prior to the Nat. draft. to fill in some time,before everyone will be discussing who we missed,who we snagged etc

These threads die off after awhile, I wasnt intending to make a career out of it. Just a 'filler' for a few weeks,for a bit of fun.

If its a popular thread, I may do some more, when training takes a break, and before they get back into the full swing after xmas.

Thanks for the offer to help. but you might be found guilty of 'insider trading' if I use outside info for clues etc. :)

I am leaving myself wide open to be hung from the nearest goalpost for misleading clues and facts.

But the intention is for a bit of fun.so lets not get too serious.

Suggestions and feedback are more than welcome. ie continue with more once a week?, depending on my available free time.

Anyway a great pickup on your behalf. Perhaps I need to move you into the 1890 to 1930 category so others get a look in.

Ok here is the 2nd one,

For those they cant be bothered to read the opening post re the ground rules.

You get 1 guess each per day, so dont bother with multiple guessing, or multiple posts, I will ignore those.

So make the most of your 1st guess.

Who I am..... (1st Clue)

I was born in Sydney,played football in West Aust. I was recruited from W.A in the 90's

I am ......?

Note: I am not on here 24/7 but I try to ID the winner before too many pointless guesses are posted. Good Luck!

Bennett was recruited in the 80's, not 90's

oops you got me, Late 80's is correct 1987 to be exact. I better double check my facts. Somewhere I read 1990. Didnt matter 1st post got it.

But none-the-less point taken and noted

I 'll do another one soonish... call that one a test run.

I'll toughen up the clues a bit awhile I'm double checking the clues are correct

    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,
