  • 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.

Often hard to see as it doesn't stand out as much as "MultiQuote" and "Quote", but it should be immediately to the left of multiquote.

Yeah it's not there for me... Maybe due to being on a mac? Not sure.

Ok guys,

Have removed a number of posts, we ask you to get back on topic now, as billy2803 said the "report" should be next to the "multiquote" function. I'll bring it up with Andy (Demonland) if you're having trouble finding it.

Hard to say one player although if it's not limited to MFC players Carey at the drop of a hat

Loved Schwarter, Neiter & Lyon as Forwards but given we now have somE decent big forward I would pick a 1998-2000 Jeff Farmer as the Crumbing forward we need

Big Jimmy would be a great asset in the current game playing a role for us similar to Cox's role with Meth Coast

Through the middle Stinger or Scotty Thompson in his current form

With our current forwards if Neiter came back may play him as a permanent CHB

back on topic I'd pick one of the following;

  • The Wiz - Elite small forward
  • Cam Bruce in '06 form prior to leg injury (goal kicking mid / HFF)
  • Yze in his prime (Elite foot skills through the midfield)

I was convinced Bruce was going to win a Brownlow...it's too bad that he left the Dees to prolong his career by 10 or so games.

I'd go with Woewodin. His 2000 season was the best season I have seen by a Demon in my lifetime. Also his name is fun to say.

Woewodin was a good ordinary player.

He had one A grade year. A good B+ performer.

Isn't it telling that with all the choices we've got, we've got to put an asterisk on them? Ox pre-knee, TJ with a desire boost and so on. From the 90s and 00s there's barely a player anyone would take unconditionally. It's just so symbolic of the NQR nature of all the players that have passed through this club in the last two decades.

All the players? I think a lot of the players mentioned in the thread have been fine contributors and as you've said Ox was struck down with knee injuries - hardly a NQR trait unless you're bringing a players physical characteristics into the equation.

FCS, if we were going to have a thread full of past champions from the last 20 years to talk about I reckon we'd be still gloating about all the flags we've brought home in that time.

My point being that if this thread was going to be full of names of champions, I would have expected several flags over that period. Nasher, IMO, applied a broad brush to all of the players as being NQR.

I hope that explains it better but will apologise now if it doesn't.

Ok got you now, a bit slow tonight.

There are a lot of 'If' players though. If his knees were ok, if he consistently played at that level, if he had his head screwed on....I guess it points to why we have struggled for success.

If there's been a club with less individually talented players over the past 23 years let me know who they are.

That's easy if judged by finals appearances . I'm guessing it's about Tiges 2/Dees 20 .

Brian Wilson to beef up our midfield, though i am not sure if he was still playing in early 90's.

Otherwise I would have to say Garry Lyon as we definately need someone who had plenty of heart as he did.

Jackovich and OX were probably best but we need determined players right now!!!

No, that's a team effort, which is why I said "individually". On a whole we've had far better teams than Richmond, but not individual standouts.

The football world consider Matthew Richardson as a better player than Neitz and I dare say any player we've had in that time, while Cotchin is well on his way to being better than any mid we've had.

I agree that if we've had company it has come in the form of the Tigers.

Todd Viney.......Oh wait we've just landed his mini- me :-)

In that case the almighty Theo X (pre knee!). Actually can we just get all our fav's from the 90's and then magically lose their bloody injuries (Jako's back, Gaz's leg/back, Stinga's bloody scar tissue from the plate glass window incident..... It's all Jack Watts fault!)

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
