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.


My 3 word player analysis V GC

Recommended Posts

Gawn - probably broke even

Petracca - was rarely clean

Oliver - disposals were iffy

Rivers - good and evil

Petty - not a forward!

van Rooyen - tried but failed

Fritsch - career worst game

Bowie - loose but improved 

Turner - was rarely convincing 

McVee - needs a break

May - was generally effective 

Lever - often found out

Grundy - had little influence 

Langdon - couldn’t get involved

Pickett - some occasional cameos

Sparrow - some important touches

Viney - four quarter endeavour

Chandler - was well held

Harmes - had some impact

Brayshaw - spirit and conviction 

Jordon - another bland game

Hunter - some costly options 

Neil-Bullen - couldn’t get involved

Gawn - There when needed

Petracca - Some important touches

Oliver - Tough but tagged

Rivers - Our best driver

Petty - Better down back

van Rooyen - Great aerial presence 

Fritsch - Record is over

Bowie - Provided good run

Turner - Not quite ready

McVee - Clean and reliable

May - Improved with time

Lever - Some late relevance

Grundy - No real impact

Langdon - Can't get involved

Pickett - Hits when needed

Sparrow - Career best game

Viney - Lifted in last

Chandler - Smooth but ineffective

Harmes - Brought great energy

Brayshaw - Classic Brayshaw's Back

Jordon - He's just "there"

Hunter - In slow motion

Yeah I thought McVee had one of his better games.

Generally not a fan of Brayshaw and his NQR moments but he has lifted in the last 2 weeks and been important.

May floundered again.

so we only had about 5 good players, yet still won? It was a hard fierce game from both teams and fortunately we came out on top.

JJ - every possession effective

AFL stats says on for 65% of game with 17 possies at 88% efficiency.

I still say he was 100% effective.

joeboy your 3 word player analysis is most anticipated up here in the far flung regions of the realm. A little like the old Sporting Globe at the local newsagents when you got home from the 'G on Saturday evening. Especially after a closely fought win.

May we urge you to continue the good work! So pleased you stuck a few little gems in to heighten interest and awareness.

Rivers - good and evil

Had to work very hard after that smothered kick resulted in a late Suns goal.

Brayshaw - spirit and conviction

Doesn't get better than that, a truly on the road to Damascus moment.

Would love to add this one...

Gawn - At Witts end

Hopelessly negative! I only read it to see how far you are from reality. This one takes the cake! Those that think BBB is a certainty may not have watched Casey. JVR may miss due to collision, not poor form! He makes contests and hits the pack hard.

Fair point. I think we had about  7 good players and 5 average performances by another 5. Gcs are a good side.  They way outmarked us and we looked exposed down back quite often. I really wish Petty could return there. I think our tackling pressure was very good and forced Gcs to make some poor choices at times. Its hard to say if we played poor or they played well. I hope its a little from each column. Both our back and fwd lines have been a work in progress this year and last night reflected this. I know I looked at Gcs form and expected a 7 goal win. I mean that's what a flag contender should do to a nascent club like gcs. But the competition is much tighter this season and we are a team that is still experimenting with their structure. I also think the fact that we have been to SA, WA and Qld twice out of our 8 games takes somewhat of a toll on the players.

Their Midfield in Rowell, Anderson & Swallow are definitely not the weakest in the AFL. Anderson is an absolute gun (A potential Tracc) , Rowell is another Viney . And Wiks is a genuinely good ruckman (and team man) !!!

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
