    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.

He really has gone backwards since his first couple of seasons.

He was better as a rookie than he is now.

Youre a [censored] YM, oh my god.

Why haven't you been banned yet?

Not only has Davey's form been fantastic, but it seems he's being used really effectively. He's taking loads of handballs from half back and penetrates with 10 yard bursts to get us out of defense. He's also taking kick-ins at the crucial stages - the one today where he had nothing ahead, kicked to himself, layed off a 1-2 and got us out of the 50 was brilliant. Most importantly, his disposal skills are outstanding - he never misses a target. He was the one on the ground today who looked like a real class player. To me he is by far our most important player and I love seeing the impact he's making in the first few rounds. Though I think he needs a new nickname - Flash is beneath him now.

He's not really a centre square midfielder unless you can release him into space because he can't win the hard ball due to his size, but my god he's a good kick.

Very good move from Bailey and Flash is really showing us what he can do. He will get harder tags (The Crows will definitely tag him this week) but if he uses his pace properly and we try and bring him into the game with plenty of cheap handballs to him a la the way Geelong bring Ablett into games when he is (Very rarely) struggling.

I have been a critic over the last 2 sesons or so but now am glad to see him taking "the next step". He's role now setting up play from half backish has definately given our team a lift & direction.

i thought he was sensational yesterday - creative, breaking the lines, spotting up players - fantastic (as was Miller who also lead by example ) :rolleyes:

I wasn't convinced Davey would make it as a midfielder.

I am now convinced.

All Australian 2009.

Early call for AA, but not out of the question. He's hitting a purple patch. He seems to have a much better engine and is imposing himself on the teams game by getting all around the ground and positioning himself when needed. Might find himself being tagged soon. Surely, leading the B&F by a fair margin at the moment.

Worst case of counting your Chickens before....

Davey played his best game since 2006. His passing was better than against Collingwood because his passing actually cut the lines and he was able to run and make position with it.

Clearly our best player for use of the pill. However, he is our only avenue at the moment for MFC. Good teams will shut him down quick smart.

Hopefully he will benefit from having Grimes, Wona and Maric brought up.

Grimes coming off the backline with Davey delivering through the middle and Maric around the forwardline, yum

I now have a raging boner.

Certainly this is as good a form patch for Davey as I can remember.

i agrre it is.

Though its a different type of davey, the last time davey was dominating was when he was chasing down players and snapping goals andkicking freakish goals.

Now he dominates possy all over the ground, hes now our quarterback.

I love the flash. He's one of only one or two players in the side who'd get a game for Geelong (who I reckon are the best side in the comp). After really lighting up the scene when he first arrived there's been the perception that he's dropped off a bit. I reckon that's partly because the team has struggled and because he went from being the 5th or 6th concern of the opposition's defensive 6 to being probably our only decent creative player. Is a pleasure to watch and has a lot of courage for a skinny fella. And, what's pretty important given our club's current position, the kids love him.

but it is a new davey from the one we are used to. we can rely on him almost everytime he gets the ball. the old davey was exiting and still reliable and got some incredible goals/assists, but not nearly as consistently as now.

    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.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
