Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

BEST TEAM IN THE AFL ERA 1990 TO CURRENT

There are possibly too many permutations and combinations but the following players, who do not appear in all selections,  IMO must be included in any team that claims to represent the best:

Travis Johnstone; Brett Lovett; Alan Jackovich (before injury); Liam Jurrah (before injury)

IMO questionable selections included in the above teams include Ingerson, J Viney, Jones,  J McDonald, Jetta, Hibbert; Langdon; Fritsch; Salem.

With a goal to goal line of May, Neitz, Oliver, Schwarz and Jackovich we could take on and beat the world.

Lovett for Salem, Bruce for Jones, Green for Robertson - you have too many high flyers otherwise - Tingay for Johnstone, and Alan Johnson for Ingerson. ( Johnson finished in 1990 so technically, he qualifies.) Whelan for Febey, the most unlucky one to miss. With May, Neitz and Lever you have enough tall timber down back, you can throw Lyon down there if needed and you bring on Jakovich.  Sounds like the plan to me...

Ergo:

Whelan, May, Johnson

Lovett, Neitz, Lever

Yze, Bruce, Tingay

Green, Schwartz, Petracca

Davey, Lyon, Framer

Gawn, Oliver, T.Viney

Stynes, Jones, Jakovich, S.Febey,

Almost tempted to slaughter the sacred cow and go for Jeff White over Stynes but I don't think the resting ruckman will need to kick too many goals with that forward line.

Hayden Lamaro and Isaac Weetra stiff to miss.

I don't think Bruce would get a a game at his peak in the current squad, let alone best team since 1990.

J Viney would be more deserving.

What about Brent Grgic?

Btw no way Jeff White is ahead of Stynes, accept for not running over the mark and all.

How anyone could contemplate a side without Brett Lovett is beyond me. Ditto Aaron Davey.

3 time VFL team of team of the year (basically All Australian before it existed), would be the first picked for me as he just fits straight in on HBF whereas Lyon, Oliver, Petracca etc... are all moral's to be in and better players, but there could be some query as to the actual position (Neitz for me as an example is CHB, but could understand why some may say FF).
As a useless side note often overlooked for FF; Darren Bennett is the highest goal scorer in a year by a Melbourne player from 1990 onwards (87 in 1990 which makes him the highest since Fred Fanning and second in history I believe @Supermercado?) although it really was only 1989-1991 he was of note so I can understand why no one has him in.

edit: steve febey in for salem

I'd have this as almost bang on, except Jurrah wasn't around long enough to show a consistent year let alone a career (I'd have him in the Sean Charles category, exciting for a brief period). I'd replace him with Jones or even the Bald Eagle who at his best was an exceptional player before injuries. I think in 3 years time, a few more of the current crop hopefully would have this changed up a bit.

87 is equal third for most goals in a season.

1 97 Fred Fanning 1947
2 89 Norm Smith 1941

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
