    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.

6 - Gawn (easily our best and the hardest trier)

5 - Salem ( classy despite most others being so inept in defense)

4 - McDonald ( held the competition’s best forward to 3 possessions and 1 goal)

3 - Hore ( showed unDemonlike promise )

2 - Hibberd ( blanketed the dangerous Martin effectively)

1 - Melksham ( disposals were effective and advantageous)

Tom McDonald was horrible. His last qtr argument with the ump was embarrassing.  He cannot kick. He has no second efforts. Lost it and must be dropped.  Happy to trade him and Oscar to anywhere. 

Harsh mate.

He did keep Lynch to 1 goal and quite frankly didn’t do much wrong for the entire night.

Deserves votes tonight and may have to say back until May or Lever returns.

He didn't need to kick much tonight, he beat his direct opponent for the night. If you're judging votes on kicks why have you given Brayshaw a vote, one of our worst turnover offenders by foot tonight

I've given serves to both in recent weeks and both can hold their heads high - with Goodwin given some credit for recognising the issues and trying to reinvigorate the pair with fresh assignments. Dusty picked up 17 touches and had very little impact, while Melksham started out at absolute upper elite level before fading. If he stayed in the centre and could maintain that impact across quarters and games he would push for a Brownlow. Potentially so damaging - but needs to be stripped of an incentive/opportunity to cruise.

Hard to find winners, but Tmac and Hibbo did their jobs despite making plenty of mistakes.

I generally love Oliver, but he played poorly. Yes, plenty of possessions but fumbled, missed targets and ran lazily. I thought he looked injured, disinterested, or both. 106 "Fantasy Points"! The name says it all.

So my votes are

6 Gawn

5 Melksham

4 Tmac

3 Hibbo

2 Brayshaw

1 Salem

6. Gawn - his game actually gets better the more you watch it.  He is a genuine champion of the game.

5. Stretch - Billy showed a great deal last night.  He was physical with his tackling, his pace was a real asset and his ball use was improved.

4. Melksham - Jake's best game for the year.

3. Hibberd - Hibbo's best game since his AA year.

2. Salem - he is having a career best season.  Shame he hasn't got more help.

1. Oliver - Just keeps on winning hard ball and a great tackler.

The effort was definitely an improvement, but the skill level is deplorable in the main and our forward line is a joke!  I think all those who bagged Hogan might now understand just how good he was for this team.  To kick 40 plus goals three years out of 4 as a very young man was an extraordinary effort with the opposition best defender hanging off you every week.

6 Gawn - Lost his battle with Nank in the second term but came out after break and did his stuff - even clunked a few nice marks.

5 Hibberd - nice to see a bit of variety in the match-ups from Goody and he seemed to enjoy his battle with Dusty. Dusty not being in Tiger best five means move worked.

4 Stretch - I hope Goody pulled him aside and apologised to him for virtually not playing him for three years now. He works his butt off and his smart with his positioning and now has the strength to become a player in the Phillips/Lambert mould.

3 Hore - Tremendous first half as our intercepter but not as effectual when under siege after half time.

2 Melky - Found it hard to find a target up forward, but another who appreciated a slight change up in roles.

1 T.Mac - Beat Lynch for most of the night and needs a few games back there getting his confidence back until May returns. Perfect for Roughy this week and maybe Cameron the week after. But his mobility is still a worry. 

Note: I deliberately left out our 3 prime midfielders. Viney was brilliant in the first quarter but, even before he was hit, had dropped out of game a bit. Brayshaw was smart and methodical, but like Melksham failed to hit enough targets and Olly again looked the part at times but have a look at his decision to turn backward in the second quarter to a safe option when he had a chance to flow forward. That shows where his confidence is at.

You are kidding. Melksham hit more targets in the F50 in the first quarter than any one else has for the year.

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
