    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

Recommended Posts

6. Michie - Showed a lot of composure and game sense. Also won a fair bit of ball.

5. Cross - Very nice shut down role.

4. Fitz - Lacked polish but he kept working, kept hitting packs and snagged a couple of goals.

3. Bail - Provided endless run and scored a pretty decent running shot.

2. Pedersen - Came back into the game in the second half and had an impact.

1. Viney - Faded, but was one of our better players in a dismal first half.

1 - Bail ( for trying and taking the game on )

6 Howe - Only bloke who can get his boot on the ball quick enough to actually go forward

5 N.Jones - Still turning into trouble too much, but always working and presenting

4 Cross - Priddis had been the form player of the league for the past month.

3 Vince - Wish he'd do a bit more with the ball, but at least he got it heaps.

2 Bail - Our only true running player.

1 Dunn - Still handy with his kicking but needs a left footer down back with him so he can switch on occasions.

Biggest surprise: Jetta's worst game this year.

Not surprisingly Jetta's form has been woeful since signing his contract extension.

Wasn't he on Devon smith last week who was BOG.

Yes I did. I rewarded the people who did better than I expected. Jones got plenty of ball but really didn't stand out to me as having that much impact. I honestly thought it was a bit of a flat game form him despite his disposal count. The others were the ones I saw hurling themselves into the fray and really fighting for it and in general had more of an impact that I would have expected.

Four of these six traded in this season.

Sure, it's the votes for only one game but Vince, Tyson and Cross have been doing it all year. Good to see Michie is starting to string some good games together, too.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
