    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.

Can’t wait for him to snap a goal so we can say - the Ginger Nut Snaps!

He did, in round 1.  It was awesome how the team got around him.

I was going to start a new thread on this but I’ll just chuck a comment in here about it.

I’m actually fine with the media/AFL spotlight being on other teams and players almost all the time ESPECIALLY when we are the team to beat. 
 

I’d rather we fly under the radar and win the only thing that really counts for players: Premierships.

 

I’d rather a Daicos get attention than Bowie for example, just let him do his thing without extra attention.
 

However this might just be a reflection of me as a life long (36 years) dees supporter that’s easily spooked the year after finally winning a flag.

Am I being overly paranoid about the bad effects lots of attention can do to a team? Is recognition better than being ignored for player/team confidence?

I don’t disagree in general, but I see Bowser as very grounded and unlikely to get a big head so very happy for him to receive all the plaudits he richly deserves.

From 'stop-gap', to Premiership player, to star player in a few months.  Unprecedented!

Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid!

If he ever gets injured we are stuffed. No Bowey no Melbourne. 

Getting to the point that is not a joke anymore, so critical with Salem and Lever out.

Two rising star nominations and a premiership medallion in 9 games.

With an award every three games, it's quite possible he'll win the brownlow three times this year, the coleman medal, the norm smith and the rising star.

He has elite skills and decision making. It is so stark atm with our backline minus Lever, Petty, and Salem. 

 

Agree and watching the highlights of him is really quick off the first 5 steps. creates space so easily

A joy to watch. Add him to the list of 2 who you completely relax when they have the ball (Sales and Bowey)

Wow! Well done Jake Bowey!

9 games and 9 wins so far. His calmness under pressure and his foot skills as well as his decision making is a pleasure to watch.

He also has 2 NAB Rising Star nominations now and a 2021 AFL Premiership medallion to go with it!

The most exciting thing is he will continue to get better and better as a footballer as he gains more AFL experience.

Bluey Bowser has been fantastic for the Melbourne Demons so far! However, we definitely shouldn't forsake the profound impact (my favourite) Mark "Choco" Williams has had in developing these young players at the Melbourne Demons.

Hate to put the Mozz on him but a win on the weekend makes him the most undefeated player ever. (Plus a flag, and the list of awards previously mentioned in this thread). Unfortunately this  cant last forever!

    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,
