  • 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.

Windsor? Rated 40th out of 46 players. Ten disposals. Don’t get me wrong, I love him, but let’s be realistic.

To be honest I didn't want to give more votes after my top 3, so take them with a grain of salt.

6 Gawn - our only clear winner.

5 Rivers - a very good first half

4 Chandler - the only player up forward that looked dangerous.

3 T.Mac / solid game down back mainly on Gardiner. Should have been sent forward and swapped with Petty at halftime but the coach was also in bye mode.

2 Langdon - ran hard all night.

1 Viney - beaten badly in the first half like all our midfielders but came out after half time and provided a gutsy spark.

6. Gawn - did everything

I'm tempted to give Salem six for escaping the slaughter, but here goes on a night to forget:

6 Gawn - the leader no one followed.

5 Lever - worked overtime under constant pressure due to non-existent midfield.

4 McDonald - slow but reliable.

3 Chandler - worked hard throughout.

2 Rivers - good in bursts.

1 Langdon - often had to lend a hand in defence.

I thought these were the Top 4    after that   they should pay us money for watching tripe.  Though JVR, Fritta and BBB at least kept playing in the 4th.   I think we needed the break, we were always just a touch of pace , behind them and not up with the ball.  Just disa ppointed

Easy selection tonight 

Max Gawn -  6 votes 

Tom Mcd - 5 votes 

Ed Langdon - 4 votes

Trent Rivers - 3 votes

Jake Lever  - 2 votes

Steven May - 1 vote

apologies to Sparrow Windsor and McVee who tried 

first time that Trac, JV7 or Clarry are not in the votes. They were horrible tonight and completely annihilated by Lions mids. 
 

Very poor  - BBB, JVR, Fritta, Petty

TMac should be in everyone's votes. I thought he was really, really good tonight.

The backs (TMac, Lever, Rivers, May) deserve credit and I hope internally the club is applauding their efforts. With the amount of time the ball spent in our defensive half, most other sides would have conceded far more than 22 scoring shots.

On ballers have a night they would want to forget. Never seen Clarry Trac and Viney all stink simultaneously

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
