  • 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.

It's difficult when you are at the match, yoiu only see some bits.

6/ Brayshaw

5/ Oliver

4/ Langdon

3/ Jackson

2/   now it gets difficult

2/ Harmes

1/ perhaps ANB   for the last quarter  i thought he played well

but so did Rivers Sparrow Bowey  Spargo Kossy  Weide Max Viney Tracca   et al

The 1 votes - no, no,no,  way.  Kossy was not in the best 10 players on the day. Maybe he needs a forced "rest" Spargo - average Bowser - yes, played a great game. Very reliable.

Glad  your not on the selection panel Chook.

Saw it at the ground and just watched the replay to confirm my thoughts.

6. Oliver - his ability to move at speed from contest to contest is remarkable

5. Brayshaw - this move to half back could be a masterstroke.  The Bombers showed him too little respect.

4. Langdon - the running man.  He was everywhere.

3. Gawn - his best game of the season and his third quarter in particular was leadership personified.

2. Bowey - this guy is just so composed you are almost surprised if he makes an error.

1. Weidemann - He marked almost everything and was our only forward of any effect for the bulk of the game.

Interesting that when Stringer went forward they tried to isolate him in the square with Brayshaw his opponent. He kicked two goals.

6 Clayton Oliver   A warrior   Definitely a 3-vote game 

5 Angus Brayshaw   Seemingly everywhere and linked up creativity all night

4 Ed Langdon  runs and runs and gets footy and runs 

3 Max Gawn   Battled on around the ground to drive the ball forward 

2 Joel Smith   Defensive efforts were important at key moments  

1 Sam Weeeeideman   Better attack on marking and kicked crucial goals 

apologies to May and Bowey who were solid all night

I was at the game and just sobered up.

The first three were stand outs and you could argue about the order

Oliver 

Bradshaw

Langdon ( this bloke must have a motor hidden in his jocks)

After that there's a few deserving

Jackson

Weid

Bowey

There was a lot of ****ty football and errors.

Does that make you twice as silly or only half as silly WCW?

Hey! Don’t make light of a potential alcohol problem!

BTW Uncle, you should deign to come and sit down amongst us plebs some time. Only once, let’s not get crazy here. You can see how the other half live. And you’ll learn a bunch. For instance, did you know we’ve all been mispronouncing ‘Essendon’ all these years? Yep, seems the first ‘n’ is silent.

    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.

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 at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
