    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.

Demons to clip Magpies wings in style

Well, after last weeks Kangas game I have to say I feel pretty good about the direction the Demon are headed.

The backline has already been rebuilt in 12 months by Bailey and co, and soon the midfield and forward line will follow (although the forward line is still a while away)

Now, as for last weeks prediction - I was let down big time by some poor selections by the MFC selectors, who left out Colin Sylvia. He is the best contested mark at the club, and that is the main area we lacked in last week. Nobody capable of taking a mark up forward.

No such trouble this week, as Sylvia will be back and Maric should join him to add some much need skill to the side.

So without further ado, here is what will happen this Saturday as the Demons destroy the pathetic ferals by 62 points.

Melbourne 27.14 176

Collingwood 17.10 112

Goals - Sylvia 7, Maric 3, Pettard 3, Morton 3, Miller 2, Jones 2, Buckley 2, Jetta 2, McLean, Green, Johnson

Best - Sylvia, Morton, Garland, Maric, McLean, Green, Warnock, Jetta, Buckley, Spencer, Rivers

I expect Sylvias 7th goal to come from a hanger on the goal line, where he will then turn and kick the ball as hard and low as possible through goal, where it will meet up with Joffas head, rendering him slightly more brain dead than he already is.

Enjoy this Saturday, cos there is nothing like smashing these fools and listening to their President, coach and supporters cry about the umpires after the game.

I like th post and I have no problem with wide eyed optimism, as far as I'm concerned I want the players thinking this way. I do however think that the mentioned scoreline lends itself to a 64 point win, and that perhaps Y_M sold himself short with the final score analysis.

Can't say I'm convinced, but u gotta love YM's enthusiasm.

FWIW, if we do win (and thats a big IF), it'll probably look more like this:

Mel: 2.3, 6.5, 10.6, 15.11 (101)

Col: 3.1, 6.4, 7.8, 13.12 (90)

Goals: Bate 3, Morton 2, Petterd 2, Johnson 2, Miller, Jetta, Moloney, Davey, Green, Buckley 1.

Best: McLean, Rivers, Moloney, Green, Johnson, Cheney, Bate

Fingers crossed!

Love your work Y.M. i expect to win every week as the players should.

I hope a heaps of demon supporters turn up this saturday as even an "away" game at the 'G means we get a slice.

Go Demons..victory by 15 points (Aaron Davey to star on the Members Flank)

Jake Spencer to give that "pillow" Josh Fraser a total BATH!!!!

This is true. Always fun to tune in to the radio and listen to Malthouse's newest excuse after a loss.

thats so much bullcr@p. As if you expect us to win every week. If thats the case then you would expect us to win the flag..because if you expect us to win every game, then that would mean you would expect us to finish on top of the ladder and go on to win the GF. Take your hand off it

Awesome work Yze_Magic. The "already built" backline will let through 17 goals, and the "still a while away" forward line will kick a mere 27 goals.

Why do you waste your time?

Whilst I love the passion every one has, remember we need a foward line that can kick more than 10 goals!

Here is last years highest scores we kicked by each team. And last year I thought, at the start of the year our forward line looked ok. I just wonder at this point in time who is going to kick a bag?

Adelaide 11 8 74

Brisbane 14 9 93

Carlton 9 14 68

Collingwood 13 17 95

Essendon 17 6 108

Fremantle 17 17 119

Geelong 12 10 82

Hawthorn 12 6 78

North Melbourne 11 13 79

Port Adelaide 7 9 51

Richmond 14 10 94

St Kilda 7 8 50 10

Sydney 11 8 74

West Coast 11 13 79

Western Bulldogs 9 12 66

I Beg your Pardon?? Of Course i expect to win every week, that doesn't mean it always happens but i expect to win yeah. Just like in the Real world i don't like losing, who does.

With your attitude the 22 players might aswell run out of the rooms put a blanket in the center square and all sit on it with cups of tea until the final siren each week until we pick up all the Early Draft picks,

The Good (Great) clubs expect to win each week, & thats where i want Melbourne to be. If you have a problem with my attitude thats too bad. I pay around $700 a year to watch Melbourne so i am allowed to expect victory. I think more Melbourne supporters should feel the same way.

Maybe that's why People percieve Melbourne supporters to be "Soft" over the years-Because you & others don't expect victory & will accept an "Honourable" loss.I know those losses happen, but i don't accept them because it usually means a crucial mistake was or were made.

How Dare you call my attitude "Bull crap"!! I went through school in the '70's Laughed at because i barracked for the Demons, & i Hated it.

Coming second is the same as coming last.

I expect DB to come up with a strategy to beat Collingwood on Saturday. If he does Fantastic, if not more tweaking is Needed.

I Roll up to the Footy Expecting to win because i hope thats what the Football club is thinking

    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

    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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
