  • 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.

I second that.  Geez, Max Gawn is a bloody unbelievable player.  

And I second that. Amazing. God he has a go. Given he's got what appears to be a rather fragile, giraffe-like build, he just throws himself into everything. Should be an inspiration to the rest of the slackers.

So hoping he gets all-Oz again.

6.  Big M  - difficult to watch this bloke trying to lift us in a match so often and not many able to go with him.  Hats off to the bearded wonder!

5.  Clarry -  Too many handballs that result in wasted possession and needs to learn how to kick to a target.   But without his ability to get to so many contests and hold up play until the calvary arrives we would get slaughtered!

4.  Harmes - as above but great work rate around the stoppages providing 2nd and 3rd efforts.  Unfortunately too many turnovers killed off some of the good work.

3.  Tracc - fabulous first half playing IN THE MIDDLE.  Finally looked dynamic, powerful and "On" with the ability to break tackles and run off into space, assess then kick to advantage.  His turn of speed then torp to Jeffy out of the middle for the joe the goose shows he has got it.  The Goody game style doesn't help him stay fresh however and faded in the second half.

2.  Gus - cleaned things up a little in the second half and finally looked a little like old self.

1.  Fritsch - ugly decision making at times but never threw the towel in and got plenty of the ball in the open (which i can't say many others managed to do well aside from Salem, Harmes & Gus....the Pies killed us in the uncontested gets then toyed with us afterwards).

6 Gawn - fired up after Robbo went for Grundy as AA pick ahead of him. Both are certs. But Max has shown why he's starting 18 with Grundy on bench.

5 Harmes - had a great battle with Treloar for much of game and his run was super damaging.

4 Brayshaw - how composed was he all game. Reminiscent of 2018 at last.

3 Fritsch - finally played like his pre-season form suggested. 

2 May - how good was it in the first half having a defender who wins in the air. Now we know why we got him.

1 Petracca - Our only real link between middle and forward and again worked his butt off only to be let down by the odd bad choice of disposal.

Olly was prolific and was almost brilliant, but still fell back on handball instead of taking the game on himself and kicking to a lead. Gave away a couple of stupid frees as well.

So many useless possessions in this game,  headed by Oliver and Brayshaw.  A great reminder to ignore people who bring up 'supercoach' stats.

Negative votes to Jones, T Mac, Garlett, Hunt , Viney and Hibberd.

    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,

    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
