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.

B & F Who has been our best player so far ?

We are six rounds, I was wondering who would be leading the Best and Fairest count ?

I dont think anyone stands out, All have had good and bad games. I think Cam the Bruce would be leading and champion data stats back that up.

Any Suggestions ?

i reckon guys like dogga and bell for effort would be close, have been pretty consistent, always work hard. though the blokes who get 25 touches a game obviously end up with the votes. wouldnt surprise me if petterd features pretty well come round 22.

Belly!

If the FD values hard work, and looks at the amount of pressure our backline has been under, Bell will be leading, or at least top 2. Is yet to have a bad game, and is probably the only one who can lay claim to that this year.

Bruce and Moloney will be up there too.

Come the end of the year though, I hope Rivers is up in the top 3. The kid is an absolute defensive genius.

You are most likely correct, which, with injuries, explains why we are 0-6.

Bell would be leading methinks, with Moloney not far behind. Bell hasnt had a bad game yet, and has beaten all of his opponents convincingly. Noone else in our side can say that this year. Whenever someone has been kicking bags on us, Bell has been switched onto them and shut them down. Go watch the match against Hawthorn. Williams kicks 4 on Carroll. Bell switches onto him. Holds him to only one more goal (from a soft free kick I might add), and then Williams kicked another as Bell came from the field after a heavy collision and left him without an opponent. Add the drive he gives also to his great defensive work, and you've got a good reliable backman. The guy has improved his decision making, is free of OP finally, and really is having a great season.

Moloney has also been consistently performing well in the midfield, even hampered with injury. It's sad to see him struggling to run out games. Was bad in the last quarter yesterday, he went to chase someone on the wing and just couldn't take off like he should. You could see the pain on his face that the groin was really hurting and holding him back, and also the pain of being beaten. The guy is passionate and hates being beaten. He bleeds Red n Blue. If he ever gets free of his OP, I reckon he will become a really good player and surprise alot of people.

Bruce would have been the most consistant but we have had no stand outs so the B&F could be anyone's. Williams kicked 4 on Whelan. Carrol played on Boyle. Bell's game against the Saints was very ordinary but he has been a lot better since still makes too many mistakes but he is improving and that's the main thing I wouldn't say he would be leading he hasn't been that good. Miller shouldn't be in the side let alone leading the B&F.

Chopper Caroll has been pretty good down back guys. He had a few hicups against the hawks, but has been pretty good most weeks. Considering he has stuff all games behind him, he is standing up as a senior player. If he continues to improve like he has, he will be a chance for B and F

Hats off to the bell fans. He has been fantastic in defence this year. He would be in the mix, just needs to keep up his strong efforts.

i actually watched rivers a bit this week and it was very interesting to se him read the play, he would follow his man on the lead but he would watch the player with the ball and change his direction based on where the kick was going...ie he would peel off his man to be 3rd man up before the other player had put boot to ball. you think this might be dangerous but it doesnt seem to be a problem for him...

Cam Bruce @ this point of the season - Shame he cant kick to save himself.

& Yze despite his strange start to 2007 has been very handy in a couple of games.

But JARED RIVERS will make his move from here on in. The kid is class

A shame Sylvia still hasn't put his best foot forward.

Am I the only one wondering if he will ever arrive?????????????????????

Bruce cant kick but majority has said he will be top of our best and fairest? How is that possible if he cant kick? Rivers is all class but a backman will never be best and fairest for Melbourne we focus more on midfield

In todays game we are seeing backmen become playmakers more and more...

IMO Rivers would have to be up there along with Bruce and J-Mac.

Jones and Godfrey would have to be two of our most consistent performers of the season, but I doubt they've attracted huge votes thus far. Godders' last two blanketing performances have been sensational.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
