    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 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.

Since he has come into the side he has kicked 19.3. Very impressive strike rate!

Has a very good set-shot technique... keeps the ball low and invariably finds the big sticks!

No doubt he will now come out against the Lions and kick 1.5.... but I thought this was worth mentioning. :P

And Brad Miller has kicked 11.2 so far this season.

Given the scarcity of forward supply this year, its good to know at least they're making the most of their opportunities

i noticed the same thing about aussie, didnt realise it was the same for miller.

the upside is we've been kicking well, the down side is, if we have been making such good a rate of conversion, we obviously arent having anywhere near enough shots on goal, given we are getting well beaten in most games.

does anyone know where to get a list of all clubs overall goals and behinds kicked, rather than just total score for?

also it is probably worth mentioning here, that i was thinking about our scoring and noticed that for a side with a lack of forward targets we have been doing alright. i mean all the forwards have been kicking a goal or two each, every week. we dont have anyone kicking big bags, which would help us kick winning scores, but i think we've been let down by our midfield in the goal department. with the exception of jones and bruce, who seem to have spent time resting forward, we havnt kicked many goals coming out of the midfield. is that part of the game plan, or are our midfielders struggling? i thought mclean, sylvia and a few others were capable of kicking 55 meters on the run, but they dont seem to do that...

Our efficiency when going inside 50 has also been amazing, in that 3rd quarter against the swans we scored EVERY TIME we went in there! And against the tigers we had about 5 LESS inside 50s in the first quarter to the toigs and yet we won the quarter.

I we just need to win it more in the centre, and then get a big bullocking forward to bring the ball to ground.

There was a stat in today or yesterdays papers stating we as a team have gone into our forward 50 the least of any side in the competition so far this year, so it's imperative that our forwards make the most of their opportunities this year, which to their credit I think they are...

I'd be interested to know how many haven't made the distance. I had someone take me to task about how he's not a very long kick, and that it's easier to be more accurate if you ALWAYS look to dish off, unless it's within 40 metres.

I've had the same argument with mates.

They reckon he can't kick over 40. I vividly remember him against Freo have a set shot for goal with the man on the mark at least 48 out and him popping it through, and i'm pretty sure i've seen him kick at least one more from 50.

I think he has a longer kick than he often uses, but that's because he seems a clever player who can move to space well and can take marks closer to goal

Yeah. By the same token I think there's been a couple of times when he's been forced, because of flooding, to have a shot and he hasn't backed himself. On these occassions he trots in from way out, winds up and runs into the man on the mark, or sprays it horribly.

I don't mean this as any ind of disrespect. Nathan Brown is verging on being a star, and without his leg probably would be... He's widely regarded as not being able to crack 50 metres. Undeniably accurate, just not great in terms of distance.

good lord dazzledavey! i hate to know what would happen to Bailey when we actually start winning games!

i remember a couple of years ago i was at a club function... youth forum or something...

anyhow, one of the directors was telling a story how he was saying how he liked it when melbourne won, because every time melbourne won a match, Bev O'Connor would give him a kiss...

our Irish rookie listed player (Nick Walsh?) quickly responded "What do you get when we win the grand final?"

45hotgod, I think your mates might be onto something. I'm not sure it's that he can't kick it that far, but that he kicks it very low. A shot from near the 50 (a little inside?) versus Richmond is one that would have made it, but was too low - Richo marked it on the line. The decision to handball to Sylvia instead of have a shot when on the 'G, Southern Stand side, Ponsford goals, is another occassion that comes to mind.

Haha, gold.

Thats because the Tigers kicked something like 2.7 in the first quarter. We could have easily lost that quarter, I was there. Saw what was coming in the second quarter.

Yep, and with that I hope we can finally kill off the myth that Miller can't kick!

He's kicked some fantastic - Un-Miller-like - goals this year.

Two he of the three he kicked against Richmond were just fantastic - and something we would ALL love to see him do more often, there's no doubt about that.

    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,
