  • 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 was at the game on Saturday night and struggled to find 6 players worthy of votes. I have managed though, so here they are:

6 - McLean

5 - White

4 - Davey

3 - Jones

2 - McDonald

1 - Bate

While Brown got a lot of the ball, he wasn't damaging. Bate had a poor first half, but his second half was excellent. Did a lot of 1%s and attacked the football hard. Was very impressed with him again.

How so?

He's played almost every game, and has been consistent throughout the season.

He'll finish top 3 in the real B&F.

Because people play favourites and their votes are biased towards players that they like, usually young buzz players, for whatever reason.

Jones has been pretty good but he's averaging 16 possessions a game and is an ordinary kick - hardly starring

Jeff White, McDonald and Bruce should be whipping him in the votes

and sylvias polling is vastly inflated as well

I am the bigest fan of Sylvia, but no way does he deserve a vote for his game vs Brisbane

He was ordinary

Junior will win the Bluey by a mile, and I think Whitey will come 2nd

As for the rst of the top 5, raffle it between Sylvia, Bruce, Jones, Bell and Bate

Why is that? because they get 30 cheap possessions a game, or 40 hit-outs that don't go to advantage?

Statistics should have absolutely nothing to do with the way we value a player. Not when half of the possessions are soft receives, or fluffed kicks, or hit-outs that don't actually help the side win clearances.

Junior should, and will, finish top 3. His consistency, work-rate, hardness at the footy, and selflessness is the sort of stuff I hope our coaches look at when they award the votes. Not meaningless stats.

Jones may only be averaging 16 possessions a game, but what about tackles? first possessions? clearances? And how about time spent on the ground? His possessions are influential, and his 'ordinary kick' puts Bruce's kicking skills to shame.

There will always be some bias in the way people vote, but Jones' position is nothing shocking and he will finish very highly in the real B&F.

sylvia was ordinary this award is completely rigged - Jones being on top is a joke

No i think it is you who is the joke. Jones has been outstanding this season. His aggression and determination is inspring. a few of the more senior players should take a leaf from his book.

    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

    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.
