  • 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.

What?

He dropped two marks which directly led to goals. 

His best game was just two weeks ago in Round 1 and this was miles off that.

Apart from Gus, everyone made bad mistakes out there tonight (even Clarry got a ball in the middle ran forward and proceeded to somehow kick it down the oppositions throat).

Was at both games and from where I was sitting, tonight he was better. Tonight he stood up when lots around him were not, plus May was getting dominated tonight, whereas against the Dogs Maysie was able to help out a lot more.

Thought May was great in patches, especially early. Faded out and was soundly beaten in the air and comprehensively outplayed by Wright, who kept them in it.
 

I understand there is a structure and it isn’t necessarily 1on1 all the time, but May couldn’t keep up. Was found far behind the play multiple times.

6. Clarence Harding Oliver 

Still don't know how he always gets his hands free. Always helps clear congestion 

5. Brayshaw 

20 marks for crying out loud. Worked his absolute butt off. Becoming such a nice outside option to have.

4. Joel Smith

Yep, echo statements that this is the best game of his career. Tireless worker, good job son.

3. Langdon

The runners really shined tonight in a game that lacked skill from either side. Never stops running and capped it off with goal of the year surely. Anyone who thinks he played a howler because of 3 bad kicks I think are a bit harsh.

2. Weideman

He clunked a lot, he didn't clunk some, he kicked 4, he missed 3. But he ultimately gave us something we needed. Well done Choofta, got a great view right behind your run up in the Punt Rd pocket for that beauty too.

1. Harmes

I'm really big on goals at crucial times when everyone else is missing and the team mindset is flat. Took them well and also with 8 score involvements. I think few work harder.

Unlucky: Gawn. Far from his best but showed a heap of leadership when it was needed.

Adjudication (Specsavers award)

Clean up the packs!
It’s an infringement free zone. Too much wrestlemania and head high contact.

Plus drop the man on the mark marionette farce.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

#25 overrated superannuant claim to fame? Swallowed the dog while supposedly on lollipop duty. 
 

Positive; pleased to see two metre Peter’s career on the (w)right trajectory impressive.

Overall comment;

Dees 2022 it’s another great vintage in the making.

Viney - combining much better with Oliver, anyone noticed his 22 pace? He has found another gear, so happy for him.

He's actually properly fit for essentially the first time in his career with us.

Spoke about it on Gus & Gawny the other week - apparently his natural/ideal level is an endurance beast - something we've never seen at MFC.

Solid without being all that interesting, meaningful or spectacular.

6 - Oliver. Won us the game. Tore away from packs and kicked to forwards lace out. Just a terror.

5 - Brayshaw - My fave. Love him and everything he does. Like to think I'd play like that if I could run farther than the corner shop.

4 - Happy E - Legend. Love the way he plays the game. Always looking for a one-two and loves a goal.

3 - Bowey. Just can't get enough of his disposal. Love he's starting to get a little tougher too. So much time and plays the half back role well.

2 - Weid. Happy he got amongst it, but wasn't as enthused as others about his performance. Seems like a really nice guy and that, but just can't see him sticking around.. Had hoped to see Van Rooyen this game, but Sam went ok.

1 - Joel Smith - Not a fan, but his best game if you ask me. Credit where credit is due. Good spoils. Not terrible disposal. Stretched the lines. Gives us something the other defenders don't. Still, I doubt him. 

Hon Mention: Fritsch. Style and technique (lower that hair though Bayley, lol). Loved how he went for the speccie at the end and did basically the same thing as he did in the GF and got one over the back. Cheeky.

99/100 times Brayshaw gets BOG for a 20 mark performance but Oliver was just too influential on the night.

6) Oliver

5) Brayshaw 

4) Langdon- his GOTY nomination increased his rankings here.

3) Weid - you kick 4 goals you get votes.

2) Harmes - kicked 2 critical goals in the 3rd quarter. Good ones too.

1) Jackson - found it hard to give that last vote, but this guy is just dominating at the moment.

May can’t get votes tonight. Wright dominated the game in parts.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
