  • 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.

Plenty of candidates, which is pleasing.

6 Petracca - great all-round performance.

5 Fritsch - excellent marking and finishing.

4 Gawn - aerially dominant as usual.

3 Salem - superb disposal skills that often go under the radar.

2 Petty - versatility invaluable after the two injuries.

1 ANB - it's just a pity his skill level doesn't quite match his phenomenal workrate.

Unlucky to miss out: nearly everyone.

6. Petracca - was everything, everywhere 

5. Gawn - dominant with strength and class 

4. Neal-Bullen - worked his backside off from the first bounce 

3. Oliver - a very Clayton game 

2. McDonald - held the backline together even without his two big buddies. stacks of timely spoils 

1. Pickett - Irresistible pressure and pure class

Sparrow was better than the previous 2 games. 

Because he actually played in his role as an inside mid. Salem didn’t play midfield today at all.

5 goals to Fritta not worth a vote? 😀

Another very even team performance.  The Hawks tried to ‘niggle’ us off our game, but we stuck ‘fat’, and stuck by each other.  I loved it!    

The latter votes were a bit hard for me to untangle, but this is my best shot:     
6.  Petracca  -  mid, forward or back.  Just a powerful and stellar game!
5.  Fritsch  -  five goals in the modern game is very bloody good. 
4.  Gawn  -  showed once again, why he’s the best leader, and the best ruckman in the game.
3. Oliver  -  so happy to have him back, so happy to have him happy, so happy to have him getting back to his best.
2. ANB  -  an absolute workhorse, who doesn’t always get the credit …… but he certainly earned it today!    
1.  Langdon  -  back to his best, which is very, very good.

Lots of ‘special’ mentions (which comes with a very even team performance).  Sorry if I miss some but, in no particular order:  Pickett, Windsor, Howes, McVee, Rivers and Viney.

Trac 3 votes explosive and controlled 

ANB watch the telly, insane work rate, I think he did a 1/2 marathon. Zillion 1% ers

Fritsch - a bag is a bag.

Kozzie - beautiful moments perfect predator

Gawn solid

Petty, great call to play him, missed some shots but presented well, perfect wingman.

Sorry to McVee, Sparrow, Tmac, Howe, Langdon, Salem & Viney

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
