    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not to 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, 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.

The whole team was Fantastic 

hard to pick just 5 … but here goes 

5 DAISY Pearce.  A champion. A legend. 5 goals. 
4 TYLA  Hanks. She’s only 5”2’ but so strong and wins the footy in so many contests.  Becoming a star. 
3 ELIZA west - still a rookie player but settled in amazingly and getting better. Moved from basketball to footy and just knows where to go to eat the footy.  So exciting to see how good she can be. 
2 TAYLA Harris.  What a year.  Taken her game to new highs. A real target.  9 marks. 
1 Lil Mithen. Love her energy.  Smart and tough. Gets the footy and uses it. 
 

so many apologies to others who played a great game 

 

Go Dees

West. Love the way in contests she rips the ball out of the oppositions hands. She may halve but rarely loses a contest. Reliable. Kicking still suspect but has immeasurably improved since the beginning of the year. 

L Pearce


Edit. Added West comment because she is fast becoming a favourite player

Her kicking technique is a big deficiency. Some intensive coaching from choco badly needed. Improve that aspect of her game and she'll be some player

Gee that was a tough exercise.  I could have almost doubled the size of the list, and a few would have still been unlucky to miss out.  Great signs at the business end of the season!

1. E. West ( would have been higher if not for her burning a player (Daisy) in the first quarter and her substandard kicking but her approach snd energy are magnificent snd remind me of the "old" Clarry before he gathered composure with his disposal and breakaway speed. 

Rest of team all contributed and played good Roles snd are  in good form at the right end of season.

    TRAINING: Friday 8th December 2023

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Picket Fence endured the sweltering heat on a windy day out at Casey Fields to bring you the following Preseason Training Report. Blustery day at Casey, Ground NOT OPEN?? and the only other people I saw were one bloke on the far side and another Man and Woman also watching around the south Goals, had a small pair of Binoculars but looking through the fence was problematic.

    BACK TO BASE CAMP by Meggs

    Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions.   Undefeated in all 6 matches against the top teams (North Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne). They are worthy winners of the 2023 AFLW premiership.   Our ambition for a Season 8 back-to-back premiership was derailed.   In round 6 Adelaide spilled the beans on the template to outplay us. From there news spread fast to other top teams who applied similar intense physical pressure at the source which crushed our gameplan to execute vi

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.
