  • 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 10


Demonland

Recommended Posts

7 - Sportsbet

6 - Jones. Thought his teammates made him look like [censored] in the first half. He killed the 2nd half  

5 - Garlett. Perfect small forward game and racked up touches. 

4 - Oliver. I'm confused why he wasn't in the middle/on the ground more. 

3 - Hibberd. 

2 - Harmes.

1 - Pedo. For effort and for being the only bloke that could hit a target in the first half. 

 

Special mention to ANB for playing footy like Dane Swan for 10 minutes and driving momentum.

First time poster very long time reader but here goes:

6 - Garlett. 5 goals, enough said

5 - Jones, turned the game

4 -Hibberd, not sure he had a bad disposal. His awareness is first class

3 - Melksham, easily his best game for us. He was fantastic and loved his aggression

2 - Oliver, in 30 years of following our great club I have never seen a better kid. Unlucky to only get 2 votes.

1 - Pedersen. Massive effort around the ground and great delivery into the forward line. A re-born footballer.

Some posters must subscribe to the view that Oliver's disposals are overrated, as many (most) don't include him in their votes.  

With 3 games left for the round he has the most contested possessions, most centre clearances, second most total clearances, and equal second most disposals.  He gets us going with contested footy and clearances, and is pivotal to the hard run and spread.  

6 Jones

5 Garlett

4 Oliver

3 Hibberd

2 Hannan

1 Melksham

The blinkers seem to be on today. 

Of the possible 714 votes cast, Lewis gets 8 and Watts gets 1. 

They were as instrumental in turning the game in the 3rd qtr as was Jones.

I can't fathom Oliver's common omission. Slow to work his way into the game (and started on the bench?), but was instrumental in turning it from the middle. 21 contested possessions and 11 clearances - along with opening up space for numerous scoring chains - what team has everyone been watching to think this is some sort of luxury?

6.  Jones  -  Led from the front and turned the game.

5.  Garlett  -  Excellent small forward game with goals and pressure.  Probably best game for the Dees.

4.  Hibberd  -  Has become a mainstay of our defence.

3.  Oliver  -  Another top-notch performance.  Not far off being the clearance king of the comp.

2.  Frost  -  Held (arguably) the best KPF in the game and is becoming a weapon off HB.

1.  Hannan  -  X factor and growing in confidence each week.  Another tick for our recruitment team.

Apologies:   Lewis, Melksham, Harmes, Tyson

I'm also loving what Frost is bringing to the table. However, it was our midfield's ability to deny GCS forward entries that helped Frost keep Lynch quiet in the second half. However, his trajectory is looking positive.

Voting is very subjective and people are always,looking to give their favourite a vote but I see Oliver didn't rate a single vote with some? Either I was watching the wrong game or know nothing about footy. The Brownlow votes will probably be 3. Jones, 2 Oliver, 1. Garlett but wouldn't be surprised to see Oliver get the 3.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
