  • 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 16

Recommended Posts

6.  T. Mac. - just one word "outstanding".

5.  Watts - continued on from last week.

4.  Gawn - his hitouts to advantage had us in the box seat from go to whoa.

3.  Hogan - he's a "keeper" (lol).

2.  N. Jones  -  tireless, tough and led ftom the front.

1.  Viney  - see Jonesy.

6. McDonald T - complete game.  Was a Colussus in defence and very effective on the offence.  I think concerns over his disposal are generally exaggerated anyway, but last night there were no errors at all that I noticed.  Makes you wonder why he can't do it all the time, but I'll definitely take it.

5. Watts - got right on top early when it counted.  Making a late season charge at the B&F now I reckon.

4. Hogan - going from strength to strength.  Took a lot of marks, got a lot of the ball, and kicked goals.  Gee you'd love to see him iron out some of those bad set shot misses, but it's a small criticism in an otherwise dominant game.  Gave me a great LOL moment when he pushed the feeble Dawson out of the way for that mark.  The empathizer in me felt a slight stab of pain on behalf of all Freo supporters because I'd have hit the roof if that was us, but I shrugged that off quickly.

3. Jones N/Viney/Tyson - I know this makes my vote illegal but I felt these three truly belonged in a block.  A dominant contested possession performance that was the major driver to us getting so far ahead in the first half.

2. Gawn - because Gawn.  His roving the ball is as exciting as his tap work.  A 208 centimetre footballer/athlete.  Highlight of the season for me.

1. Grimes - Excellent game back and didn't fade as it went out.  Contested reliably and used it well mostly.  Pleased for him.

Thought my block vote would make room for Hunt but it didn't.  If he'd used the ball as he did last week I'd have been forced to find room for him in there somewhere, but a few poor kicks dropped him to seventh.  He's just so exciting to watch though.

6- T Mac - possibly career best game. 31 disposals for a KPD is incredible. And he used the ball well

5 - Watts -   Game was won in 1st quarter and he dominated. Ended with 19 touches, 10 marks, 5 scoring shots

4 - Hogan - 20 touches, 12 marks, 4 goals, 5 tackles . Enough said

3 - Gawn - another step towards the AA team, silver service for the mids as always

2 - Jack Viney - 29 touches, 6 clearances, 7 tackles, 8 inside 50's, 3 score assists ... bull at a gate

1 - Nev Jetta - another All Australian performance, lock down job and 26 touches, great rebound.

Extremely stiff -   N Jones, D Tyson, Kent, Grimes

I like your maths. Hunt comes seventh with eight players named ahead of him.

    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,

    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. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
