  • 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.


Demonland Player of the Year - Round 12

6. Gawn. Just everywhere every time we needed him to be. Should poll three in the charlie

5. Vince. Ridiculous amount of the pill he won today. Turned a couple over early which cost him bog in my eyes but he still was super.

4. Bugg. Really wasn't a fan of him as a recruit but he really has added a fair bit. Steele and Pendles were going to be the two to win it for them and after the 1st I thought they might. His next 3 quarters he destroyed Sidebottom thank god

3. Tyson. Smooth mover, plenty of hard ball wins and his kicking has been super

2. Kent. Easily his best game for us where he hurt a few filth back men and slotted a few through also. This is what we need from the Kent week in week out

1. Frost. Hoges/T Mac are unlucky here but I was just so shocked with how well he went and the dash be kept providing. Very exciting seeing him play well back there

6. Gawn - just huge. Didn't like not being in people's mid year all Australian. 

5. Vince - leather poisoning. Also love that his touches are kicks. 

4. Jones - worked tirelessly all day and showed a heap. 

3. Bugg - just made Sidebottom look second rate. 

2. Tyson - do we have a midfield or what. 

1. Kent - one of his best.

6 Gawn - Clearly the matchwinner in the second term, even though he was good all day.

5 Vince - Was prolific early, but still tended to spray it a bit. Loved the way he went on to Treloar in the second term and made him work his butt off to get a touch. Handy when down back as well.

4 Kent - All the things we like about his game was on show and seemed to enjoy being the No.1 little guy target with Jeffy out of action. Was one of about four Dees that really stood out in the first term when we were still fighting to gain control. 

3 T-Mac - Can someone please show me which of his kicks were intercepted. Really reliable all day and provided plenty of run from defence.

2 Jonesy - A couple of dreadful turnovers in the first term but then just went back to being hard and clever. Next week's the big test.

1 Bugg - Poor start but then tightened screws on Sidebottom and that was a key to stopping their scoring.

Apologies to so many.

Petracca and O-Mac finally looked the part - both were good from the word go. Not dominant but very good.

Tyson - Probably didn't give him enough credit in his battle with Pendles.

Frost - Why wasn't he allowed to play his defensive role earlier in his career. Still a project player but very handy.

Hoges - Along with Gawn, was the matchwinner in the second term after being ragdolled.

Hunt - This guy has changed our look, almost as much as Hoges and Gawn. It won't be long before he is tagged by a small forward.

6 - Gawn (just beat out Vince in an absolute dominant display)

5 - Vince (played a great game)

4 - Jones (another solid game from the skipper)

3 - T-Mac (he's getting back to his best form)

2 - Tyson (knocks up getting the ball and is now using it better)

1 - Bugg (blanketed Sidebottom who was rendered ineffective)

 

Apologies to Kent,  Hogan,  Kennedy,  Viney,  Frost,  Hunt,  Petracca and a number of others.

    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

    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
