    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 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.

Christian Petracca a chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal?

I reckon it is between Bontempelli and Daicos. Dawson from the Crows is a possible smokey. I suppose Neale also has a chance but he had a big potion of the season in unusually average form.

I can't see Trac winning it. He will receive a lot of 1 or 2 votes. He will lose votes to Oliver (early in the season) and Viney (who has been our best player IMO).

Taranto has had a very, very good year but not Brownlow worthy.

I would love Tracca to win but wonder if his interactions with the umpires may preclude him from the number of 3’s he should get down to a 2 or 1’s. He had a ripper year most disposals, most score assists but failed on scoreboard pressure. I would be horrified if he isn’t top 3-5. He had a better year than the Bont and Clayton was out for 10 weeks.!!

He shouldn't win it based on his kicking lately 

He really needs to work on this in the off season, sometimes he goes for the harder option which in turn opens up the play in our favour but he has been shanking alot of them this season. His set shots you can see the stress in his face and his gone from a great kick for goal to average. That calming work he does isn't working IMO

Daicos is already pencilled in if you believe Gil's hints on the Front Bar last night.

I would advise any Demon who doesn't want to have a horror experience to not tune in to chanel 7 for the next 2 weeks.

Gil wanted to go out with a bang and that's what he's getting, by hook or by crook.

A big stinking discusting dirty filthy black & white bang.

Never happier to ignore all AFL related content since we lost last Friday.

Based on the comments about tonight's game, it looks very scripted doesn't it?

Just waiting for the off season and draft.

Tbh I feel like we never took a stand about Maynard sniping one of our best mids to get an advantage. Just thinking about it makes me upset. I wish the club took some kind of stand. Maybe abandon the Brownlow. Empty table. Petracca win it and not be anywhere. [censored] them. But melodramatic but so what

I would admire the club very much if they tell both the AFL and the media to [censored] off and have an empty table on Brownlow night.

But we both know it's not gonna happen, the club and the competition as a whole is very corporate aligned.

But I will be happy if next time we face the thug and his mob, as I have said numerous times on Demonlad, May decks him hard (footy act of course).

I agree

we allowed the media to defend him and made it about Maynard, as did gleeson

I emailed Kate Roffey about it as I think it was really disappointing

It’s actually making me rethink my membership next year 

can you imagine Collingwood’s response had Greene knocked out Daicos?

I put 100 on Tracc at 6s. I think he might pinch it by a vote. 
 

Flopcos misses 6 weeks and the Bont plays in a [censored] side that lost half their games.

The big worry is Butters.

Bont has to be the favourite.   Stood out for the Dogs.  Likely 27 votes. 
 

Daicos gets 25-26 votes.  
 

Trac might end up around 23-24 depending on how they give him votes.  Should poll in 10-11 games at least so a big chance if he gets the 2s and 3s

Bont is such a big name and presence on the ground now that the umps are just going to give him the 3 votes if there’s any doubt between the 3, 2 and 1. I think this is what gets him over the line. Heaps of 3’s. Frankly he deserves the medal - what a superstar over such a long period now. Has been the best performed player in the AFL over the past half decade. Bona fide Champion. 🏅

That's what some of the media said. Why didn't Pert or even Roffey come out and say something after the Maynard decision. 

Silence.

With the luck the demons have had in the last month. He will be leading with two rounds to go and lose by one vote

Agree. Given the horror show of our last  month I somehow expect Nick Daicos to get 3 votes in our game against Sydney.

    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

    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.

    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
