  • 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.

i know I’m probably missing an obvious one. Viney was good, Rivers ok.

Love the kudos that ANB is getting, he is in ripping form and finishing his work beautifully.

No gong for five-goal Fritter?

haha. I always list my votes without referencing any stats or anybody else. I honestly forgot about Fritter until I'd submitted my votes and then went 'doh' after i saw everyone else.

6-Viney-Epic, could have played footy in any decade in the last 100 years and would still be the toughest guy in it.

Fritsch-5 goals on return, is a movie plot you wouldn’t believe.

Trac-power through traffic.

ANB-in any starting 18 in the league.

Brayshaw-working so hard.

Rivers-hard to split with McVee but just.

Apologies to Langdon and Clarry and Sparrow and May

Clarry did lots of work, but felt like he is not releasing other players as well as he normally does.

I just want to say thank you DLers for all your votes. Without you this award doesn't happen.

 

There's always different perceptions of what a good game is and I really enjoy reading the number of different slants on performances. Give yourselves a pat on the back!

6.  Viney - strong all game, and along with Petracca, turned the game in our favour when it needed to be turned.

5.  Petracca - Viney’s main accomplice in turning the game our way, but had a quieter first half.

4.  Fritsch -  won the game off his own boot.  Welcome back Fritta, but no more ‘scares’ please.

3.  Neal-Bullen  -  continued to play his (very underrated) role to perfection.

2.  Brayshaw  -  ‘work horse’ continuing to produce, week in, week out.

1.  McVee  -  played like a top shelf veteran, as usual.

Langdon, Hunter and Rivers also earned a mention.

By the numbers;

6 Jack Viney

5 Bayley Fritsch

4 Christian Petracca

3 Alex Neal-Bullen

2 Clayton Olivier

1 Angus Brayshaw

Honourable mentions;

Jake Bowey

Edward Langdon

Steven May

Judd McVee

Kysaiah Pickett

Joel Smith

Special mention;

Jake Melksham all the best for a speedy recovery. Follow that dream Jake.

Adjudication;

Free kick deferential was favourable, play in front boys. Razor Ray deserves his cheque.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

Buddy farewell! It's been a long and spectacular career.

Broadcasters;

No real complaints. Adequate and none intrusive overall.

From the director's chair;

Admirable resilience and ability to arrest opposition momentum swings. As Goody says it is a 'hallmark' of this year's team. Go deep into September Demons!

If it wasn't for the broadcasters I wouldn't have known that Sydney was playing for a home final. How many times did it get mentioned? 10? 12?

I like that 28 players out of the 33 that have played have polled, says good things about the depth of the squad. would have though Viney would have been closer to Trac though.

    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,
