    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.

Exactly. Grundy was very good.

I don't get the lack of love for Bugg. 30 touches and 9 tackles

Yep i reckon he was a tad ahead of the Jones boy today. 2 goal assists also. Butchers the ball a fair bit dee so that could be what puts some off at present. 65% DE same as Jones.

Ranked No.3 behind Viney and Tyson in my stat rankings. Solid effort and probably his best so far with us. Much room for improvement with speed of decision making and disposal efficiency though. I recall he played some solid stuff against us in his early years with GWS but could be wrong. Maybe why Roos (and/or the recruiters) decided to go after him.

I may slightly differ after I watch the replay, but for me:

6 - Viney 

5 - Watts

4 - Gawn

3 - Hogan 

2 - Tyson

1 - Wagner

 

Next five (all could've featured): Lumumba, T-Mac, Bugg, Frost, Kent. 

Chunk in the next bracket after that. Didn't think he had his best game - Handballed back into pressure a lot and was not as clean as usual. Still, not a bad performance.

this was difficult and it's something we are not used to having to think about a best 3 let alone a best 6, Bugg, Tmac, Wagner and Frost are all unlucky and with Bernie & Garlett to come back in and Petracca and Nibbler staking their claims we are finally becoming a footy side

Interesting leaderboard. Gawn deserves to be higher - his value to the side is huge. I would even venture as far as saying, no Gawn, no Melbourne. That said, I can see why the other blokes are up there.

The defence was magnificent, but i am torn the first half was champagne, the second dour-do i back those who got the lead or kept it.

Viney-on all day

Watts-was a rolls royce

Gawn-the game is played on our terms even though grundy had a good day too

Lumumba-broke the lines for us

Jetta-love his heart

Tyson-haters be gone.

 

 

Apologies to Pederson/N.Jones/Bugg/Wagner/McDonald/Harmes

There are various surprises after 4 rounds, but Jesse Hogan with only 1 vote is surely one of them.

Neville Jetta with only 2 surprises me. He is the best small back in the league on current form.

Four out Four games, he's the first defender I want to see each week picked (Salem/Vince not far behind)

I may be a little harsh, but i'm wanting to see more from Salem.

What he has done has been good, but he has the skill-set to take his game to another level. We'd be such a better team off of his improvement alone.

For mine, he is still in 4th gear.

    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
