  • 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.

All aboard the Oliver Express

What the hell, check the RIsing Star odds,.  Oliver 9th favourite and paying $67? Are you kidding me?  http://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/australian-rules/afl-rising-star

His last two weeks against quality opposition in wins have been huge, and he is impacting the game as much as any teenager you will see and doing things on the field no teenager should be allowed to do in the AFL.  Petracca is 3rd favourite, but Oliver has been better surely?

Love the sentiments in this thread, but the "Choo Choo" should never ever be referenced again.

Oliver's impact is far greater than CP's ATM.

What a brilliant move in swapping picks to get Oliver and Weideman and giving up our first this year, which is getting less valuable each round. Both these boys now have a season under their belt and will keep improving.

That deal and the Tyson/Salem deal will prove to be masterstrokes.

He was much higher but unfortunately he has missed too many games to be a chance. Think he missed 4-5 games? And his output tapered off before he was dropped. 

Regardless of that award, he will become the best player of the lot in my opinion.

Yep we're missing him around the stoppages today. Hopefully he dominates VFL finals and helps Casey to a premiership.

If he gets fitter over summer he could become our best player very quickly.

agreed, he should be in. our second best clearance player, in only his first year.

 

am i wrong or does him playing in the vfl today qualify him for vfl finals?

 

i don't know what to say about brayshaw. his second year has been a shocker.

It does qualify him for VFL finals and I suspect it's the reason why he is playing VFL this weekend.

Gets an additional (hopefully) four weeks of game time now thanks to this excellent selection decision. This will be far more beneficial for his development than a few extra weeks of holidays. Well done MFC.

What do you reckon about that picket?

brayshaw's short disposal under no pressure is THE WORST i have ever seen.

Brayshaw's inside work (contested footy) is good. I see no reason why his short disposal under pressure won't improve. He isn't a panicked player. Just relax Andy. It is all good. Brayshaw was excellent today.

He will still get the same amount of holidays, he just won't be obliged to start the preseason on day one if he plays vfl finals.

Big tip/Prediction next year, Clarry Choo Choo to win B&F 

Not putting any pressure on him at all!!

If Oliver were to come on here and read your posts I doubt he'd feel pressure. I do think though he'd feel the need to go to the court house and apply for a restraining order.

    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

    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,
