  • 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.


The mystery of Jayden Hunt

his pace is electric.

 

there's a moment just before 3/4 time where he zips btw 3 gc17 players and whilst his possession isn't the best - sideways handball to wagner, but impossible to see what options were presenting for him downfield on the telly - it's his pace and evasiveness that makes him a super tricky match-up.

 

very exciting.

If that's the piece of play I remember I loved it. Wagner peeled off to get on to his left and Hunt ran straight through the Suns players to draw them all to him and then gave the handball to Wagner who had time and space on his preferred foot.

I've been so impressed by Hunt using his height to mark and spoil, and his clean hands off the ground hitting team mates in stride. 

We were all told he's quick and needs to work on his kicking. That's fine. A guy with an elite attribute and one to work on can be ok, but it's the rest of his game that's impressed me just as much.

Watts,Salem and now Hunt.

There must be something in the Lattes down there in Brighton.

Mystery is are they ever to play a game with their other BGS teammate Dawes?

Here he is, riding in on his pony to remind others that they're wrong.  Do you actually talk about the Dees, Saty, or just comment on other posters and their views?

And I'm certain, somewhere back in this thread, I questioned his worth going forward because, at the time, he hadn't shown us much since he was drafted.  I'm more than happy to take a slice of that humble pie dazzle is baking.  But humble has never been a word in your vocab, Saty.  At least others here have the ability to do it.

I am humble enough not to laugh out loud when one or more of you write off a player, and then find you are completely wrong AGAIN, I post in topics and then I get attacked because I tend not to agree with the bleaters, I talk UP the Dees all the time

He was great last night. He's confidence to run and fun for someone so inexperienced is impressive. He needs to work on his kicking as they're a bit up and under, but he's developing beautifully and should be on our hbf for years to come.

You attack posters at all costs, even when a topic is going well you somehow find a way to attack posters and whinge about demonland. You are a dead set hypocrite of the highest order. I still cannot believe the mods haven't given you a holiday after last weeks disgracefull comment calling a female poster on here fat.

Add something worth discussing for once or do us all a favour and ship off to bigfooty..

I've been posting here since Nov 2002 in one guise or other and must have seen roughly 150 players come and go.  Some through retirement and others through trades or delistings.  

I can hardly recall a player that's made me eat humble pie.  But plenty have had their bags packed. 

You can back every dud that's ever been on our list.  I have no problem with that. 

I won't.

I feel for Dawsy. He is a leader at the club but he'd be acutely aware that he is running out of time and, to a degree is a reminder of some poor times (that's not hi fault). Would love for him to surprise us and bounce back.

His speed and preparedness to run the lines is incredibly important.  He'll become a genuine weapon down the track.

My Brother's future Brother-in-law is a well-known former player and head recruiter of an AFL club and said a few years ago that Hunt was considered as good if not better than Salem and another player whose name presently escapes me, but dropped off the radar while still at school due to injury.

Josh Kelly?

It is not difficult to resist making critical comments about others. The only thing that makes it difficult is ego. There is more worth in what you don't say about others rather than what you say. 

Very  Physophical this morning Ernest. 

Should I start a Yoga class?

Been a lot of that coming into the club lately. We were practically blondeless during the dark times.

Is this a thing?

Could it be like the way the Geelong superteam was wall-to-wall blue eyes?

Okay...I'm going to ask....what is physophical? Or do you mean philosophical?

Unsurprisingly, I guess, he is playing a lot like H, including unfortunately the high up and under bombs. But I have been pretty impressed with his first handful of games. He'll be a player for sure. Others who will undoubtedly make the grade are Stretch, Tracc, and Clarry who will be our best midfielder by 2018 if not next year.

    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
