  • 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.

Even if he never reaches the heights he promises, he will still have a very long AFL career and have some damn fine moments along the way

If Colin stays fit -

At best, he could be as good as Michael Voss or Mark Ricciuto

At worst, he will be a Matthew Robbins/Martin Pike type player. Hardly a superstar, but a player that will carve out a niche and be an important cog in his teams side.

By the way, I think he will be a lot closer to the Voss/Ricciuto end of the spectrum

wtf are you smoking??? He could be the next Michael Voss or Mark Ricciuto???

Yze Magic you are an absolute tool!

Sylvia was useless today...poor decision maker, gives away too many free kicks, gets caught with it too many times, misses targets, no 1%'s....to say he could be a star is just stupid...id go so far as to say he is playing for his career this year...1 good game in 4 years IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

He should be our permanent FF

Has the skillset of Gary Ablett Senior. Massive leap, strong as an ox, beautiful kick.

Alas, it seems that Bailey is as clueless on how to use COlin best, just as Daniher was

Whereas its quite obvious to me, and I am not being paid a dime

I'd say he has some other other skillsets that Ablett Snr. had, and not the ones you have outlined.

I dunno if I was watching a different game today... but I thought Sylvia was Okay. His disposal was better than most, and he tackled hard which was something we missed against the Hawks. This is his first game this season, and he has already been written off by a fair lot of you.

This is the same bloke who has just had his first full pre-season, and was amongst the best in every game of the N.A.B Cup/Practice matches. It is a little hard to be a superstar when the rest of the side did nothing as well.

Absolutely! I thought he was good, too. He was fifth in my top six, but when I posted that, I kinda got shouted down. I really thought his entry inside 50 was good, as was his intensity, at least compared with that of some of our other players.

A few of our blokes need to consult him on the art of laying a tackle. Sylvia always lays great tackles. I thought he was good but he still has no engine - he blew up in the 2nd quarter today.

Why would they do that? Sylvia struggled to lay a good tackle all day. For a bloke who cheated on his teammates, he had a big big incentive to stand up today. He was very very poor. A failure of character was on show.

Hell, the 2003 draft has unearthed some truly overrated plodders. Sylvia, Cooney and McLean are at best middle of the road and are along way from any star status.

Col didnt play miuch of a game today.. in many ways it was laughable. There may be one consolitary aspect. I may grant him that his desire to make ammends possibly so overcame him that he played like cr@p as a result. There was no polish and very little thought in his footy today. Maybe he was just in a hurry to do something that he messed most of it up !!

lets see how he travels next week.

    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,
