Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.


Jack Viney Brownlow?

Umps hate him, rarely gets a free unless his head is ripped off so unlikely to poll well. 

It's not that they hate him. They just don't bother blowing the whistle because they know he's not going to stick around to take the kick. They should treat Jack like a terrier when adjudicating advantage and assume he doesn't have the capacity to stay of his own accord.

Had a big nibble on him at the start of the season at $251 and had another nibble yesterday morning at $101. 

I'm not much of a punter, I don't mind the odd flutter during Spring carnival, but I pick a bet or two each year that will give me value. I see value in Jack. I reckon he's within a couple votes of the leader at present.

This on the back of that I thought he caught the umpires eyes last year in the Count.

With Jack because he plays the game hard, there is risk for injury or suspension. I'll take that risk on.

No chance, the coaches may notice him but the Brownlow comes down to who the umpires notice and I'm afraid Jack just wont be noticed.

If anything, he'll have a ripper year, will poll well with the coaches and then the umpires will be like ohh yeah I guess he was OK and then next year he'll get votes in games that he shouldn't.

After the North game where they missed multiple obvious throws, I don't think the umpires' eyesight can be trusted in the slightest.

Viney is now leader in the Herald-Sun "Player of the Year" award (leading Patrick Dangerfield)!

Over the years I have mostly got it right with players, but I got two wrong recently.

I said HL was finished after the Bombers game and I have apologized to him on here over that. He is now playing very good footy.

The other one was Viney. While I never doubted his talent and effort, last year I just thought he might be too small for the modern game. Boy was I wrong. He is now one of our best players and leads the charge each week. He is like a Captain. Tough as nails. Never giving in. Second and third efforts. The first in to defend a mate. You just have to love him. I suppose being the son of Todd it is not surprising in the way he plays. He appears loved by the team and the fans. I would love to see him win the Norm Smith in a Demons Premiership.

I suspect that the maggots will be seeing a lot of him but will think he is too rough for their liking. 

Should he appear to be leading some of the 'favored sons' late in the year my ingrained paranoia feels the MRP will dream up some pretext like a fierce tackle to make him ineligible.

Gawn might be an issue. How many votes would he have already?

We have a few others who will 'steal/share' votes, too.

Such a pity. :lol:

Well he is at least on 5. Has an easy run of ruck man coming up. Could very well be on 15-18 by the midway mark. Massive chance of winning the brownlow IMO, I am going to start offloading during the week, already into us to make the 8 at $12's, and heavily into Petracca for the rising star - which I still think he will win.

Really want to be with you there as I reckon he will be the best player from this crop but Its really hard to win this having missed 5 games, in fact I think it has only been done once very early on if at all

Jack Viney's odds on Sportsbet is really good!!

$31.00

Shop around. He's $41 on TAB.

I got 50s this morning. They're reeling him in for a reason!

If he plays 3 or 4 more games like he has in his next 6 games, there won't be many finger nails among us by round 16!

Don't bother with the Petracca bet. He would have to be crazy good to win from here, would required him to be picked this week and barely have an off game for the rest of the season. That doesn't happen for debutants. It's also a decent class this year, he has some ground to make up so would have to be clearly above those who will play 20+ games. Just my opinion.

Don't think so

I'd say in terms of career achievements, they're now virtually neck and neck. This year will be a good one to compare them. Wines isn't having as much as an impact, but is coming off injuries. Interesting comparison.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
