  • 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.

Brayshaw?? Not in my top 10 today. Serviceable at best.  

I thought he was pretty bloody good in the CB gets behind only Viney. 
Was pivotal in a lot I50 entries.

Just got home.  What an epic game of footy.  Well done to both teams.  Max Gawn played perhaps the best second half I've ever seen today.  He imposed himself on the game in a way that only he can do.

6. Gawn

5. Viney.

4. Petty

3. Petracca

2. Melksham

1. Pickett

JVR is going to be a very good footballer, which we all already knew.  He loves body contact - the hallmark of most of the better big forwards.

6.  Gawn  -  a Colossus again.  What a leader!

5.  Viney  -  behind Max, but another outstanding, ‘lead from the front’ performance

4.  Petty -  6 goals and only 4 votes. A revelation.

3.  Melksham  - getting better by the week since his return.

2.  Neal-Bullen  -  a consistent work-horse who plays one of the hardest positions on the field.  Doesn’t get enough recognition.

1.  Lever -  just typical Jake.

Plenty of others who I couldn’t squeeze in including Riv, Lingers,Tracc & Hunter.

6. Petty - come on guys, clunked it, kicked 6 and kicked a ripping snap

5. Gawn - a colossus later in the game but was actually beaten early 

4. Petracca - beast mode

3. Viney - really solid midfield game 

2. Rivers - got lucky with some Riv shanks but just loved his drive and energy 

Hard for the 1 vote, could go Langdon, Lever, Gus, Melk, JVR, Pickett

1. ANB settled ok Nibbler because he rebounded from early shockers to be good and did a job on Rioli who’s incredibly dangerous and had limited impact

6 - Max - Formidable

5 - Jack - Linchpin 

4 - Harrison - Hallelujah 

3 - Tracca - immovable 

2 - Milkshake - accuracy

1 - Roo - he’s gunna be a beauty

ANB, Riv, Rick, Ed, Gus, Kozzie and everyone that pulled on the Red & Blue today. What a great win.!!!!

A bit mystified by votes to Bowey and McVee. 

Think with McVee people are confused whether he was responsible for any of Dusty's goals. I think only one was on McVee. The others were from the midfield where as far as I could see Brayshaw was responsible for him.

Good day at the G and an impressive win.

By the numbers;

6 Max Gawn

5 Harrison Petty

4 Jack Viney

3 Christian Petracca

2 Ed Langdon

1 Alex Neal-Bullen

Honourable mentions:

Jake Melksham

Jacob Van Rooyen

Kysaiah Pickett

Trent Rivers

Jake Bowey

Jake Lever

 

Special mention;

James Harmes after a woeful start became an effective team contributor.

Adjudication;

After the ledger was rather skewed for 3/4's the final balance was acceptable. Tiger fans may feel the rough end at the end but footy like life sucks sometimes.

Broadcasters;

Nathan Jones talks sense, Patrick, Rodney Dangerfield is much funnier, Luke Darcy had a belated conversation on the road to Damascus after being tiger terrific most of the afternoon.

From the director's chair;

A terrific game of footy with high stakes. The Demons' ability to absorb pressure and repeated momentum swings late in the season is really giving the faithful something to believe in. With Captain Max leading the victorious charge to the final siren. Bravo!

6. Petty with 6. Also 7 marks inside 50, we don't win the game without him for mine.

5. Gawn - 22 contested possesions for a ruckman with 9 in the last quarter is absolutely insane.

4. Viney - That man is made of granite. 32 possessions, 9 tackles, 7 clearances. This is the best patch of his career.

3. Trac - Possibly a few misses away from being higher. The master of the score involvement with 13.

2. Lever - 9 Intercept possessions, tough day for the backline but he was great.

1. Melksham - Played his role to absolute perfection and dobbed some beauties.

Apologies Brayshaw, Rivers, Langdon.

I’m not confused  at all. It was one of his poorer games.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
