  • 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 1, 2015

blatant anti-watts discrimination!

Ablett was underdone, and he had a fair impact anyway, having a hand in about 5 goals! None of Viney's possessions did much damage! Overrated performance!

Do you realise that Garland was Ablett's direct opponent when he rested up forward?

Coaches votes:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-07/coaches-votes-round-one

Because of the votes given in this game you can work out exactly how the coaches actually voted:

Coach 1 Coach 2

5 McDonald McDonald

4 Garlett (or Howe) Howe (or Garlett)

3 Watts Watts

2 Viney (or jones) Jones (or Viney)

1 Prestia (or Rischatelli) Rischatelli (or Prestia)

What is interesting is our voting is similar whilst many so called experts ignored McDonald.

So who did Roos vote for?

My best guess:

5. McDonald

4 Howe

3 Watts

2 Viney

1 Prestia

Any other thoughts?

I get the feeling both Roosy and Eade love their half back flankers and would be impressed by Howe but at the same time Garlett gave us something we didn't have last year and hurt the Suns.

Have to think Roosy recognises Viney's game and who knows which GC player they went for. I liked Rischitelli's game for the goals, but Prestia played a very solid midfield game as well.

McDonald

Jones

Watts

Garland

Garlett

Viney

Best game I have ever seen McDonald play I reckon. Looked very confident under the long ball and provided rebound. Viney could have been higher but I think part of the reason Ablett was nullified so well was because he isn't quite ready to be playing again.

Cheer up Curry, go and watch the game again and focus on the work that Viney did, your making comments that don't really have much to back them up and just to stir people up. Viney was in out best just like a Watts was.

Watts played better than Viney

The coaches seem to agree with me

So you are after Viney? Do you hate players that can tackle? or is it because he hasn't played enough games? Drop him for McKenzie as McKenzie has played more games that will surely get us a win because your theory is brilliant.

Not at all. Watts was clearly better is all I've said. Are you disputing that point or just being a DH sniper again

I don't think there was much difference between both of them they were both great. I gave Viney 5 votes and Watts 4.

Congrats to T.Mac, Watts, Viney and Jamar for making the team of the round.

For the few that had a go at Jamar for not getting the ball he was judged as the best ruckman for the round so he must be doing something right.

Garlett very unlucky not to make the team.

Off the topic should Jamar replace Grimes on the banner?

    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,

    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
