  • 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.

6 - Chip Frawley - some game up forward, 14 marks and a couple of goals

5 - Nathan Jones - a captain to truly be proud of, completely pantsing the opposition's skipper

4 - Daniel Cross - what a great pick up, especially for our list, every single player should take a leaf out of his book

3 - Jake 'The Snake' Spencer - killed Warnock and threw himself about (as usual but to great effect today)

2 - Chris Dawes - even if statistically he didn't have a great day, I am not sure we win that game if he isn't playing

1 - Jack Viney - love the way he throws himself in, and burst away from a couple of packs with great effect

Most were great today, maybe Vince and Tyson (who was tagged) were down, but that can only be a good thing that two of our more consistent performers had quiet days and we still got up reasonably comfortably

Had almost 22 classy performers today - very hard to split the votes

6 Frawley

5 N Jones

4 Grimes

3 Viney

2 M Jones

1 Bail (best game of his career)

Also super impressed with Dunn (am starting to think he's one of our top 5 players on the list), McDonald, JKH, Kent (he's everything Tapscott can do, but better), and Dawes.

I rhink you might be forgetting Ro Bail's amazing game against Sydney in 2010 or 2011, but it was a very good game.

6 - Frawley: masterstroke from Roos to switch him forward.

5 - Jones: completely pantsed Murphy. Bullet-like kicks. Is he officially 'elite'? Pretty close.

4 - Grimes: was starting to have doubts. Immense today.

3 - Viney: absolute gun. Extra points for his smart-alec bum tap to Warnock after Bail goal.

2 - Bail: speaking of that guy, he really proved a few wrong today (including me)

1 - McDonald (really good defensively as always and minimised errors by foot)

Apologies, Spencer, Cross (one of the recruits of the year), Dawes (worth every cent!) Matt Jones, and a few others.

Well done Sylvia - very good assessment and you were first in with the comments which shows you are not just following everyone else's lead.

Today was actually the first time I've thought Jonesy was elite - I know he's courageous and all that and yes he's one two B&Fs, but I've never really felt he was special - just a really hard nut.

But today I thought he was a genuine star of the game with his evasion and vision and run a bit Ablettesque - really looking forward to see if he gets Gaz next week.

My six is identical with yours, except I felt Cross was on a par with your bottom three - ie: Viney, Bail and Tom Mc.

Had 9 players I genuinely wanted to give votes to. I love it when it's hard for this reason.

6. Nathan Jones - exceptional game. I've come to expect nothing less. Seems to find a new gear every season. Pantsed Murphy.

5. James Frawley - absolutely huge as the CHF. Incredible game. I think he surprised himself on a few occasions when he found himself on the end of the ball when not expecting to and spilled a few marks. Who knew he had this in him?

4. Jack Grimes - was in everything.

3. Tom McDonald - has turned in to a super-reliable key defender. He's so quick and uses his body well; I'm at the point now where I'll trust him to win or at least neutralise most 1 on 1s. No real mistakes with the ball in hand today either.

2. Daniel Cross - I always knew what he was like as a player, but now that I'm able to watch him more closely than I ever did when he was at Footscray, I can't believe they got rid of him. A player who just wills himself to be first on the ball. Love it.

1. Matt Jones - for the ceaseless run two-way run. I don't reckon there is a player in our team who runs as hard "the other way". Not a polished user of the ball, but I expect the coach loves him.

Bail, Spencer and Viney were the other ones I didn't have room for.

Well done to JKH on his first full game too. He may play an important part in our forward line. I get the impression he sleeps facing the goals. He always seems to know where they are

6- Jones... super consistent and deserved this win more than anybody else.

5- Frawley... dominated up forward

4- Spencer... by far the best game I've seen him play. He doesn't take [censored] from anyone

3- Bail... ran all day and kicked a couple of important goals.

2- Viney... provided some crucial grunt in the middle at key stages in the game. Not afraid to take the game on.

1- McDonald... He's getting better every week.

Many honourable mentions too: Grimes, M Jones, Cross just to name a few.

It's so nice to have too many good players to pick from, for once.

Re-watched the match and had to put Bail in there. By far the best match I've seen him play.

I agree with these and I thought it was a rwally even contribution across the board. Would be really diffixult to come up with a bottom 6.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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
