    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.

We have all sat back and appreciated the season that Max Gawn has produced, but how about this for a stat: 

The top 5 ruck/rover combinations in the comp this season

50 - Gawn/Jones

49 - Gawn/Viney

47 - Gawn/Tyson

42 - Naitanui/Priddis

42 - Hickey/Armitage

A nice and deserved accolade of Max http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/max-gawn-set-out-to-be-the-afls-best-ruckman-in-november-2015-now-hes-achieved-his-goal/news-story/0993a5c7a2638889442d31ed71d26f5d

Essentially, its about him not being shy about saying he wants to be up there with the best ruckman in the league. 

And he has 'walked the talk' by actually achieving this.

He's the best ruckman in the comp according to Mathew Loyd and Foxsports.

 

He's the best ruckman in the AFL according to anyone with half a brain I would have thought.

I love Gawn.

Having top is great. Top and second amazing... all top three is insane!!!

On a downer tho. Nik nat is only 8 off top and hasnt played half the season. He better not beat him to top.

From an article in the Sun today...

His 807 hitouts for the season is a clear No.1 — 123 more than North Melbourne’s Todd Goldstein.

But his contested marking ability deserves as much recognition as his tap work.

Gawn’s 37 contested marks is the most by a ruckman, and his eight against Hawthorn was the second most by a player this season.

It is a shame the Brownlow has become a 'midfiellders' medal.  Otherwise, another season like that and M.Gawn11 would give it a decent shake.  (And follow in the steps of the last ruckman to win it, J.Stynes11).

Currently 10th on the list of the most hit outs in a season ever.

I loved him making the statement last year and continuing with the line this year, but I honestly didn't expect it to happen this year. I expected him to be in contention and probably finish 3rd behind Goldy and NikNat. Absolutely fantastic, his confidence is building every week and it's building with the team.

Top bloke too!

I think we have 2 chances for AA selection - Gawn as #1 ruck and maybe Jack Viney on the bench

 

I remember when Russian got an AA nod. He was great that year, but nothing like Gawn is this year. In 12 months has turned himself from a promising player into an absolute monster!

Brilliant season, best yet to come I feel.

 

But on a side note, most of that foxsports article is based round a misquote. He never actually said he wanted to be the best ruckman in the league, he was refering to being the number 1 ruckman at Melbourne. He tried a few times to correct it early on but now it's come true he just ignores it and carries on. Which is hilarious on so many fronts

Amazing that. He did try to correct it a few times, and I'm sure everyone that mentions it to him would know by now what he meant, but they still run with it. And so does Max. Classic. 

 

Next year he should set sights on being the best player at Melbourne.

    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.

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
