  • 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.

Super impressive.

I loved the way he worked up the ground also, he was prepared to spread far and wide for an opportunity. Seemed poised, confident and a part of a team.

yes, yes, yes.

I really got a feeling with so many new players on the ground and from established players like Jones and Watts that there was a feeling of a corner being turned. I'll qualify that by suggesting that it might not lead to a swing in our win to loss ratio. But it feels like there has been enough of a turnover for us to get over the horror of seasons past.

I have an inside word on Jesse - lets just say he is gonna be a Demon longterm.

It was an impressive debut. But Barry Predergast will tell you he's no Lucas Cook.

My head is saying the opposition probably weren't paying him too much attention, it is only a practice match and it is very early days and I shouldn't get ahead of myself

The Melbourne supporter bit of me is thinking he has great hands, can kick, had enough of an engine to go find his own ball on the wing, is quick, made decent decisions, is 6 foot 51/2, is 100kgs and just turned 18. Oh and he has that don't f...k with me attitude that might excite Mark Neeld amongst others

Ok, I got ahead of myself

The kid is good and is only going to get better... however, the most surprising thing for me is that this thread has gone to its second page and still no-one has suggested he is a future captain.

The OP says it for me. And plenty of other posters above.

Wow.

Just: Wow!

First time I've seen him play tonight. He pretty well did not do a thing wrong - hard to believe for such a young bloke. Knew where to go, how to position himself, where to kick to a team mate. And isn't he built like a brick dunny!

I hate it when we get ahead of ourselves, as we have on too many players in the past, but I'm letting the reins out on this one.

I just blew the dust off my Mathew Warnock player worn jersey for a very good reason tonight.

Number 1 is back baby!

Absolutely loved his whole presence on the field tonight. Hogan looks to have that classic forward dominance with added modern skills. Look out Franklin i say.

Absolutely stoked with this kid. Already proven to be a better KP player than watts. His hunger for the contest is awesome. Plus he's a big boy! There wont be any waiting for him to grow into his body with this bloke

Watts hasn't been a KPF for a year or two. I though Watts was great tonight and went at the footy. Loved Hogan, but the comparison is just so off the mark.

A bit early, Stuie. I want 60 games under Viney's belt, 40 for Hoges and 30 injury-free games for Mitch.

You misunderstand me. Not saying the young fellas are instant superstars, but those 3 guys are the TYPE of players (and people) that make you proud to be a supporter and walk a bit taller if you're a player.

All my life I have watch the Demons trying to find talent. I thought Allen Jackovic to be the most talented and look what happened to him.

Hulk may have been good, but oo many have sat in the same company. I'll cheer when and If he reaches his best for and period longer than 5 years

I'll cheer his first game, his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. I don't need to wait 5 yrs, Demonsterative. My support is not conditional.

You will not cheer someone unless they play at their optimum for 5 years?

I was hoping to be excited by Toumpas &Viney tonight. Let's not take anything away from them but Hogan was something else. This kid is ineligible to even play this year but the first player since the ox that could legitimately be the dominator of the competition. I will probably get bagged for this post but I can't remember ever seeing a 100kg 17 year old who can mark, kick, find position and got attitude.

Jesse loves the Dees and is super impressed with Nathan Jones's work ethic. Dont let that lack of smile fool you. An exciting prospect no doubt after tonights efforts - youd have to think top 4 in next year's draft based on that result against AFL players!

Number 1 just about you think, at minimum top 2... how often to KPF prospects like this come along!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
