  • 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.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
