    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.

Has one of the worst tanks in the AFL. Good for half a quarter and then goes missing.

Thankfully our club aren't stupid enough to even consider it.

Thats an old line of thought, his ability to run out games has improved.

Thankfully our club would be across the basics....strengths and weaknesses of each player.

No, it hasn't. He runs out of gas quicker than any car you could drive. His tank is horrible.

The biggest hole i believe we have is a ruckman/forward that can really choo out Gawn and watching Daw as the sole ruckman he is actually playing very well and with him being our of contract i would give him a 2 year offer.

Takes a good contested mark and can use his leap to advantage. Right now he'd be very handy for us because now id start Gawn up Forward and Maj in the ruck. Both have serious potential to push forward and kick your 2-3 goals when resting down there.

Change of heart DD?

 

Didn't realize how much of a bigger hole we have having no back up for Gawn. Seen things from Daw to suggest he could give that chop out for Gawn.

Its a yes from me. 

Some posters will continue to pick apart his game whilst pushing the case of some of our players who have been gifted games for years but currently find themselves in and out of the team for different reasons.

Any other clubs chasing Majak would (most likely) want him as their #1 ruckman, and outbid us in any discussions with North. Further, if Majak wants to leave North, it will be for more opportunity and / or a fair bit more coin, and I doubt that we would want to commit to either for a player of his standing.  While he might be a handy addition to our list, he's certainly not worth getting in a bidding war over.

He'd probably be starting ruck at Essendon, Gold Coast, Richmond and maybe Footscray, Hawthorn and Collingwood.

 

Hampson was neither more nor less effective than him.

True, but then that doesn't look that good for Daw either as Hampson isn't anything special.  Hampson had 51 hitouts to Majak's 19, which doesn't look all that flash to me.

Daw has played 20 games. He's shown more than enough in 20 games to warrant the club to ask the question of North at years end. He can take a contested mark, has reasonable disposal, he tackles hard, his ruck work is improving and he can cover the ground. Imagine if he got some continuity, actually don't imagine that, things like that are only to be taken into consideration when discussing Melbourne players, how are Grimes/Garland and Dawes going....

Seeing him live today, I'd love him as a second ruck for depth. Have a soft spot for him. He's a bit raw but so was NicNat for his first 50 games. Very similar imo.

    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

    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.
