  • 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.

He outmarked Silvagni. 

But he outbodied Casboult in a 1 on 1 marking contest 30m out in the 2nd quarter. 

Pound for pound.

Hi, I've just got back from the game and joined you fellow demonlanders because I'm convinced I've seen the reincarnation of the great Matthew Whelan. Neville Jetta has been amazing this year, never

Yeah, just saw the photo on the Foxfooty article re Jetta.

Great article by Anna Harrington.  I've liked a few of her articles.

Don't argue with them either. They will bring you down to their level, then bet you with experience.

Nah, I remember that one too but pretty sure in the Punt Road pocket the ball was kicked into a  bunch of players. Nev came from behind and spoiled Casboult - I said outmarked but it was a spoil. Hard to do for a small bloke...

He has a remarkable vertical leap. Hence why he can compete with the bigger markers.

He also has Frostie to thank for helping him out.

Exactly.  Frost went to cover Thomas and massively helped Nev out.  Nev's reaction time to spot Simpson running past and get over to cover him, then out-body him and win the ball was outstanding.  Great defensive team play that almost certainly saved the game for us.

LOL.  Absolutely!  (I can't claim credit for it anyway.  Found that little gem on Facebook!  - 'bout all FB is good for, mind you, tossing up the occasional gem like that!)

I pose this question: what makes Nev such a good player from a defensive perspective? Is it his balance or centre-of-gravity? Strength and tenacity? Positioning or body-work? Steady nerves and execution? He just biologically (as to AFL) seems to have no right to be as good as he is.

I've seen a lot of blokes look at him, and they say to themselves "no, too tough for me"

... which I have been having a running arguement about with some Blues [censored] at work for 2 days now. 

Will not accept that the contest with Simpson at the end was fair, or the "illegal interference" on Thomas in the play just before that.

I just laugh at him, as I did when he claimed we were gifted 5 umpire goals from directly in front while they had none...  

Delusional to the point where I dont even bother trying to argue anymore. Just nod and smile

we certainly were gifted some goals but not by the umpire, but by poor defensive play by carlscum players

I couldnt go unfortunately. Wish i could. I so much prefer watching footy live. I sit at the top od the ponsford where i would have seen what simpson had ahead of him if he won that ball.

The tv angle shits me. Just a tight focus, including the replays. Why not at least on the replay show the down the down the ground shot.

Ivw heard 3 diff versions of what was ahead of simpson from the media. Can someone who was tell me for certain please?

I watch that video this morning and couldn't believe how important that play was.

Defenders get it tough. A forward kicks the wiinning goal and is a hero. A defender saves a match losing goal and is doing his job.

I knew they were out watching on the TV, but I didn't realise just how out they were.  Nev loses that one on one and they could have strolled in and raffled the goal.

Nev actually went to ground. If Frostie hadn't come in, Carlton were away. Having said that, Nev's second effort once he got to his feet was great. I think it was a joint effort, but Frostie's efforts seem to have been overlooked.

Not by me. Loved the shrug and the afterburners. Belief in himself when everything was on the line. I'm really loving the trade deal that got us him, ANB and Omac.

The Jetta contact with Thomas was a legitimate attempt to go for the ball. Besides Thomas won the ball and handballed it to Simpson. Simpson initiated contact with Jetta. Nothing to complain about there.

    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,
