  • 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.

4. Garland (ditto)

3. Magner (welcome back)

2. Frawley (massive first quarter that set the tone and did well on that rough headed ranga as usual)

1. Davey (mixed bag but his skills are sublime and showed flashes of his electric best)

6 - Davey ( creative and sublime disposal )

5 - Frawley ( loves the Riewoldt contest , and held his own despite the regularity of entry)

4 - Dunn ( good at both ends , and his kicking to advantage was noted )

3 - Howe ( excellent with the ball, but I wish he'd get it more)

2 - Terlich ( sees ball and gets it )

1 - Magner ( an encouraging return )

6 - Terlich - worked really hard

5 - Magner - made a difference out of the middle

4 - N Jones - as usual

3 - Garland - played well

2 - Jamar - his best game for the year, showed good aggression.

1 - Davey - kicking skills were impressive.

Much better performance by the team and we didn't give up - some positive signs. You're always going to have injuries but our outs really hurt us. Ellis was damaging for them but otherwise, our match-ups worked quite well. Need to back it up next week.

6. Garland ( looked a class above his opposition at times )

5. Frawley ( looked somewhere near his best form, some good attacking runs)

4. N.jones ( always gives his heart and soul )

3. Dawes ( worked hard, good target could easily have kicked 4-5

2. Davey ( his skills are fantastic, turned back the clock )

1. Jamar ( i thought he dominated his opponents in the ruck and it helped keep us in the game )

1. Davey (was everywhere today and realy think that his most damaging position is that rebounding spot (defensive wing to back flank) we need someone to create play from there)

2. Garland (Really finding composure and confidence)

3. Terlich (Really playing a role in the team - similar to Matty Whelan?)

4. M Jones (Just is playing like a miny N Jones - love his composure in congestion and one of the few you won't see handballing to a player in a worse position)

5. Dawes (Massive presence, made me have no dought that he is a leader and loved when he applauded one of the center clerances and then the whole team applauded it)

6. Dunn (Probably the most underated player on here at the moment - is defensive but then also has the ability/confidence to drift off his man and do damage)

Just to tough to pick!

Would have had Dawes up near the top if it wasn't for his 3rd quarter

And where do you get them?

They are just gifs brother, and they can be found throughout the world wide web.

When you find one you just post it's url into the 'image' button on the reply/post dashboard and voila!

I went a bit gif crazy a little while ago and after a few D'landerds shared their distaste in so many being posted, i now save them for when my posts require a visual cue to get my point across.

6. Garland (after a slowish start, is having possibly his best year. Today there was a touch of class in a lot of his work.)

5. Terlich (always hard at it, and today showed good composure with the ball. Has been an excellent pick up)

4. Davey (shades of the old Aaron ...... great to see)

3. Frawley (same as Davey)

2. N. Jones (typical Jonesy)

1. Dawes (great effort considering he is so under-done. Can't wait to see him in tandem with Mitch)

Special mentions to Magner, Howe and M. Jones. What a pleasure it is to have a couple of special mentions .... for the right reasons.

6. N Jones. (I think I forgot how gutsy this bloke is amongst all the turmoil we've witnessed of late. Not his best game but he sure fights hard for the guernsey. Even my Tiger buddy couldn't believe we didn't make him Captain after witnessing that 1st half).

5. Terlich (stopped the Tigers early, created some run & options/overlap. Pushed hard to defend/find his opponent even up the ground/tackled well. For a handfull of games he's an exciting prospect & a shining light).

4. Garland. (Played small for most of the match. Refused to lay down and took the game and his opponent on. Needs to work harder at closing down space when the opposition start chipping it around)

3. Davey. (The only classy consistant ball user in the team at present. Found space well and chose most outlet/lead up options with the maturity and finish of old. Chased well until the last quarter. Subbing late in the 3rd might be the go here)

2. Magner (hardness and ability to stay in the contest for approx 3 quarters was impressive. Hacks the ball forward a little too often instead of looking for the quick outlet handball or lowering the eyes on occasions. Did hit 1 or 2 lead up targets though which is better than none. One fumbled clanger handball receive in the 3rd cost us a turnover goal to King but didnt notice too many other clangers. Nice 1st up game after such a long stint out.)

1. Jamar. (Toiled hard and got to a few more contests today. A few nice palms to our advantage too. Positioned himself well as an outlier during the press and marked well. Kicking is still pretty ugly though. I would be working hard to get Davey and Byrnes more often at the drop to give off and use the ball i50 more wisely/accurately. I think the Spencer experiment is over in the short term but at least having him hanging about at Casey turns the wick up a little on the Rush. Appears to be working).

    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
