    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.

Brock. No contest.

Hard nut, gun player, plays injured just like Hodge has been lauded for all week.

Says all the things you want to hear as a supporter.

Gave 10K to the Debt demolition.

A few drawbacks but they are minor.

There is no use waiting another year, regardless of the B&F result and the seasons had by Bruce, Green. Regardless of the current captains. It is inevitable that Brock McLean will be captain of the Mfc. Give it to Brock over pre-season for the start of next season. No use holding out another 12 months.

Our next premiership captain, Brock McLean, to take the role in 2009.

Brock

although..whenever i dream of the day mfc win our next flag..i've always had this vision of the front page the next day..with brad miller gritting his teeth, one arm fist pumping, the other with the cup..walking around the boundary line!

doesn't mean he's captain, but i've had vision of him holding it up with bails.

Have multiple captains like Sydney or Brisbane that includes Brock because he's still to immature to be the sole captain next year and then if he does a good job then give him the captaincy by himself in 2010. Although Brock is leader on the ground he is still very much immature off field and doesnt set a great example like doing donuts in car-parks.

Brock. Give him the responsibility and he'll mature into the role, as did one David Neitz.

Why is this on the draft/trade board?

i accidently pressed the "add post" button before even thinking about which board it was on and also didnt put the poll in

the problem is, you cant delete a thread once its started

and i dont have the power to move this thread or put a poll in so im patiently waiting for a mod to move it and put a poll in ;)

Need someone to carry us through to the fruition of the 5 year plan. Based on age, passion and talent Brock is the only logical choice.

Macca and greeny are great leaders,b ut will not be here to lead in 5 years when the dees are ready to capture a flag.

Chooka! Our next captain will hopefully be our Premiership Captain in 5 years time. Green won`t be around then and I am not even convinced he will be with us next year at this stage although he certainly has shown plenty of leadership qualities in the past 2 years! Having a permanent midfielder as skipper is crucial for us IMO, so Brock is the logical choice.

Maybe he is trying to buy the captaincy with his 10k donation? Hope not!

Brock the rock! Shoe in!

If he is overlooked. The club has real issues! And I would be very concerned.

If he is overlooked i think he has real issues has not been a role model for captain as yet unles you class street fights and being a hoon is good enough for you

Personally James Mac is my clear choice

Junior is my choice as well, but I think you're wrong about Brock. He matured a lot this year, and taken a lot of on-field responsibility, he should be captain when Junior retires.

What about the fact the he has the maturity of a 13 year old.

Minor drawbacks??

If he gets the job, it will be because he bought his way there.

Good to see Bruce only getting 5%of the vote (although still too high in my opinion)

Is it possible that in my absence some of you learned a thing or two?

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
