  • 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.

For those that don't rate Aish have you considered the following

- under developed

- poorly coached

- in and out of the side

- injuries

- weight of expectation considering his family's history

- debut too early

Or do those only apply to our players?

Aish isn't getting a good run as he hates Brisbane and they arn't playing him because of it.

In relation to comparisons to ToumpAs, if you watch Aish play you can see he has the confidence to do some real damage and he also does not have several changers per game like ToumpAs. He has that competitive and confidence that Toumpas lacks.

Also we have no other players pressuring Toumpas for spots, he is now in our starting 18...

We could get Aish for unders due to the discontent up in Brisbane which would be a good target. WC are cleaning up with Yeo who also wanted out and was traded for unders

I think the Essendon trading scene will dry up in the near future :rolleyes:

There's about four or five players at Essendon I would go after (if it weren't for ASADA/WADA). Carlisle would be one of them. I can't understand them wanting to let him go. Unless it's more about him wanting out.

To be a successful winger you need to be good overhead as the ball always comes down the line. Aish is much better overhead then the Toump

That is the biggest load of rubbish.. i have played State footy before and the one thing on becoming a good successful winger is having a big engine and speed. Because all day you have to be prepared to be running up and down the wings and willing to spread hard from the stoppages and be that next option out in space. You don't need to be a good overhead mark to be a successful winger because if you are smart enough and spread hard you should be out on the space taking a nice easy uncontested mark and continue to provide run.

And to prove how wrong your ridiculous theory is both Jimmy Toumpas and James Aish have played 6 games each this year and Toumpas has already taken more marks then Aish already. So to me it shows he is spreading hard and getting the uncontested marks out in space. So without doing any kind of research your just trying to sink the boots into Toumpas for no particular reason just like that other Plonk Picket Fence.

Massive fail again

Try again.

Congratulations, you can twist stats and you played state.

Unfortunately AFL Is different to what you played and if you hadn't realiZed Aish has been sub for a lot of his games this year.

Going back Toumps has had just 84 marks from 24 games while Aish has had 91 marks from 3 less games and while being the sub more.

Anyone can twist stats to their argument mate, if you watch them both play isn't hard to see who is the better of the 2 and who [censored] up less

Being the sub more?? Mate do you not research or do you just pull these out of your ass to make you try and look good and continue to put Jimmy down

Out of his 24 games Jimmy Toumpas has been the sub 5 time while Aish in his 27 games has been the sub just twice.

But hey don't let the truth get in the way of that..

Another Fail.

'Sub this year'....this year. Twisting words again. You seem to do a lot of it.

If your happy with ToumpAs good on you but I like to aim higher and think we should go hard for the kid to put more pressure on places and improve our outside run.

I will, Aish 89 career tackles to ToumpAs 55

Didn't you see ToumpAs opponent running into every contest first Last week?

Make up your mind FFS

Of course he would lay more tackles considering Leppa played him as an on baller/center circle in most games last year wheres Toumpas has played majority wing half forward.

Why don't you highlight the fact Toumpas kept Sidebottom quite while Cross played a loose man in defence.

Oh btw i see Cross didn't get dropped like you wanted him too.

Clueless

Well someone should have been held accountable for not picking up Oxley as it cost us the game. Roos said the players didn't follow instructions so it seems he has been let off IF he was the spare but that's irrelevant as to wether we should target Aish or not.

I'd be really happy if Aish was our second target midfielder.

Wouldn't be as happy if he was our first target, ahead of the likes of Prestia or Coniglio or Sloane.

Is it too greedy to want Aish AND Prestia?? Or do we not have enough to give to get both?

Money of trade value?

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
