  • 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.

6. Gawn - Absolute beast. Set up our offense. Gawn shows the true value of a quality ruckman, his tap work is invaluable.

5. Viney - Grunt work exceptional. Second and third efforts didn't go unnoticed, an absolute bull, a real leader of men.

4. Garlett - Forward pressure amazing, ability to kick goals when we need them - impressive. Any other day he would be BOG, top 2 had amazing days.

3. Tyson - Massive day today. Tyson is capable of big days, he is levels above his recent output, and today shown that. Great game, more of it plz.

2. Vince - Classy performer, tough as nails.

1. Kent - Continues to impress, ooozes potential - starting to deliver.

 

Honorable mentions - Hunt, Bugg, improved game from Salem, Jetta steady. TMAC stiff to miss the votes.

6 Viney - what a second half, was absolutely amazing, which makes it 3 x BOGs so far by my count

5 Gawn - awesome first half where he was everywhere

4 Tyson - contemplated giving him 6 because he was god for 4 quarters, but couldn't ignore the sheer impact of the above 2

3 Garlett - one of my favourites, took his chances and and makes defences nervous

2 Kent - that is now a consistent 3 week block where he has impacted games throughout, rather than just small cameos

1 McDonald - cut off so many attacks with some great intercept marking, but was let down by some poor disposal

I was a little too "tired" to post last night but here' s my view from the good seats

Max Gawn. Simply a colossus 

Viney. As usual a powerhouse in and around the contested ball

Garlett. Kicked 4 and had a hand in another 4.  A key member of the team.

T Mac. Strong marking and provided a real barrier in defence

Vince  Classy always and a good finisher. Also provides a bit of mongrel

Tyson's more even effort just pips JW for my final vote

Interesting...

Two years ago it would have been:

6:.Jones

5: er gee who else can I think of

etc. etc.

Now- Where's Jonsey? Mind you he was OK but as shown above we now have a team of contributors and not a one man team!

6 - Viney - he is in AA form at the moment and was just a beats at every contest, he loves the jumper and the club and it shows, he is the leader this club has been crying out for

5 - Gawn -dominant around the ground and imposed himself seems to have the belief in himself and IMO just behind Goldy and ahead of Mummy as the leagues best ruckman

4 - Tyson - best game he has played for the club and an upgrade on his 2014 form

3 - Garlett - 4 goals isn't all he done his harassment and heat at the drop of the ball created uncertainty in with the Tigers defenders throughout the game, glad we got him right before bringing him back in  

2 - Vince - had the experience and poise at vital moments when the Toiges were coming I don't care that we gave up pick 20 for him, he has been invaluable to the club and to the development of Viney

1 - Kent -  gut running, hard chases and good decision making which is something if he does consistently will make him the player he can be

1.  Viney - four quarter effort and willed us to victory in the last.

2.  Gawn - exceptional first half

3.  Tyson - goal kicking mids are gold.

4.  Vince - silk

5.  Garlett - creative

6.  Salem - terrific first half and good second half.  Creative use by hand and precise kicking.  Very good decision maker and hurts the opposition when he gets it.  Underrated game.

Apology:  T Mac.  He would almost have been BOG but his turnovers hurt.  Just misses a spot in the six.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
