  • 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.


Demonland Player of the Year - Round 14


Demonland

Recommended Posts

6 - J,Watts - 4 goals and some saving marks in the defensive 50 in the last. Played with purpose and vigour, and dare I say physicality.

5 - J.Frawley - just controlled the back half beautifully, we can not lose this guy hes a legit A grader

4 - D.Rodan - he was everywhere and that goal was amazing

3 - D.Terlich - another 24 touches at 83%., what a find

2 - N.Jones - just keeps on going

1. - C.Dawes - was iffy coming in with that ankle, responds with 12 possies, 7 marks including some great contested grabs and 3 goals.

Wanted to fit Trengove in but he faded in the 2nd half, still a very nice game with 21 possies and 7 tackles.

6 Watts

5 Jones

4 Rodan

3 Terlich

2 Dawes

1 Frawley

Honourable mentions:

Fitzpatrick was great, made a contest, chased and marked, but not quite as much impact as those above.

Toumpas showed enough tonight to make me think he will feature in these votes regularly in the future.

I thigh Gawn battled well against a much stronger more experienced opponent and gave us more than Jamar has this year.

Trengove had a good first half but accumulated rather than impacted.

6.Watts - Showed leadership tonight & stood up late down back to top off his 4 goals

5. Frawley - Sign him up still in best half dozen defenders in the game on ability alone

4. Terlich - the guy is great, hard at it and you know what you get every week, can see him rotating through the middle in the future similar to Shane Tuck

3. Nicho - did a good job on Griffen and would have learnt in the last 15 mins, that top line players never stop

2.Rodan - has his detractors but provides zip and more quality than the Magners & Couch's of our list

1. Dawes- Vital for our structure born leader on & off the field. He either takes the grab or makes sure it hits the ground to our advantage

Really unlucky to Nate Jones, Clisby, Trenners & liked Big Max & Fitzy who all could have taken a vote

Nicho extremely stiff to miss out. Being the one guy that always sticks up for him, hard to leave him out. Think he showed glimpses of what he can be though - a blinding quick tagger with aggression and an ability to break the lines.

6 - Watts (the difference between the 2 sides)

5 - Terlich (Mr Consistency)

4 - N Jones (14 contested possessions)

3 - Rodan (a live wire all night)

2 - Frawley (rediscovered his dash)

1 - Dawes (presented well all night)

Other players who had good games ... Nicholson, Howe, Clisby and McDonald. All our players made contributions.

Lovely to read the genuine enthusiasm of these posts from New York! Now hopefully there will be less Demonlanders calling for Watts to be traded for a midfielder!

is there any way, just this once, whoever tallies up the votes, to give us the actual result of this game instead of just the overall season leaderboard? I've never understood why that isn't posted, obviously it gets tabulated in order to inform the overall leaderboard and therefore it should be zero extra work to just post the actual result of each individual match alongside the overall season tally. wtf?

6) Watts - aggressive and determined, makes great position

5) Terlich - great footy brain and gets a lot of ball

4) Frawley - set us up with run many times

3) Rodan - hit the ball flat out every time and made something happen

2) N Jones - again

1) Dawes - a much better player than I ever have him credit for

Honourable mentions to Macdonald, Trenners, Fitzy, Nicho, Maxy

At the ground, it's often harder to realise who is going well in stats and who isn't. For example, I thought col Sylvia was bloody good tonight, real intensity and purpose, some great chasing and some of his skills were first rate. Yet watts I thought was a few lapses in concentration from kicking 7.

For mine, live

6-terlich

5-n jones

4-Sylvia

3-watts

2-nicho

1-gawn

Dawes was great, frawley and Rodan unlucky. Nice change to have excessive best players to pick, opposed to struggling to fill the 3,2,1!!

6- Watts ---- Has Craig unlocked his talent?

5- Terlich---- one of this year's best offseason pickups by any club.

4- Jones ---- Same reasons as every week

3- Frawley---- Frawley minus Neeld equals an A grader.

2- Dawes---- Very solid game; can't wait to see him beside Clark

1- Fitzpatrick---- Even though he looks like a newborn giraffe, he played really well and presented all day.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
