    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.

Brad Green should be Captain now and should have been 08 B&F. Displays superb courage and has the respect of both teammates and opposition. Clearly our best onfield leadership option with Brock McLean as VC ready to move into the top role in two years time.

Davey, Rivers will not be captains. Jones and Morton -> we don't know.

McLean has been inspirational for exactly 1 game, against St Kilda in 2006.

Give it to Green IMO.

Ha, yeah I'm with you! All this talk of McLean and for the life of me, I cannot understand why?? HE CAN'T EVEN RUN FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I'll get murdered if I say what I really think of him (rhymes with 'slogan') but there's about 4 or 5 others that I would have in front of him for sure.

Green, in spite of his dabbling in other team's ponds late last year/early this year, would be such a sensational captain. His courage on the field is like none other. I'm proud to have Junior as captain but I would be even more proud to have Green.

Iv'e voted Davey, he has started the season brilliantly so far and he deserves the job.

Whilst you're entitled to your opinion, 2 outstanding games doesn't seal it for me. Not by a long shot. Whilst I've been a Brock for Captain fan since last August - and which I voted for in the poll - Green is right up there now in my opinion. He has been the face of the club of recent times and has been a model of consistency, even this season.

I'm still pushing for Brock though. ;)

Grimes followers are ridiculously premature. He's had what, 2 games?

Add another vote for Green. Funny the difference a new season makes. He had support in debates here last year but was also heavily sniped.

Dappa.. I'm sorry.. but in the spirit of your recalled speech, IMO, Grimes will also lead the MFC.

Easy choice, needs to be mature, played large amount of games, be one of our best, is couragous, rarely injured etc.

Green is the standout choice, give it to him for a few years till one of the young brigade stands out, cause at the moment no one is.

Well said. Green is streets ahead.

For mine, Brock is struggling with the pace of the game. It's faster now than it was in that semi final against St Kilda a couple of years ago. I don't think he is the standout he appeared to be then. He consistently gets run down from behind and he is not kicking to position as well as once did.

Green is the man most likely to win- or save - a game by taking the lead under presuure. At 27 he should have several years left in him.

Moloney's another option. He should be a 5th player in the poll.

most definitely agree. a solid season this year should see him take over next, even before the retirement of macca. he bleeds red and blue; this man and has a heart that will inspire. the kind of guy that could get us a flag in four/five years time.

Yeah the ball actually came back to were he was running to......

And I don't think he was looking over his shoulder cause he was scared of Lade, but to see what was actually happening in the play.

But I must admit it did look pretty funny, especially considering the size difference between the two :P !!!

Anyone could be captain at this stage you just never know. Although for now you would expect the contenders to be Mclean,Green(If young enough),Moloney,Rivers,Miller,Davey,Jones and maybe even Grimes and Morton

Gotta say I agree with DK10 on this one. The big shorts definitely put Morts at the top of the tree for next captain. Think an error was made with J Mac. His shorts are the right size unfortunately; but Morts can carry the baton on from Neita. Lets hope Big Shorts Morts puts in a big one against the tiges!!

Give it too Jack Watts!

Ha! In about 3 or 4 years time after Green has had a crack.

I know it is a big call for a kid who has'nt played a game. But I am sure many have the vision of him being an elite player who takes this club beyond anybody could imagine.

He will even captain Victoria at some stage!

Just watching the replay on the net, and the maturity that Davey is showing is fantasict. If you asked me to suggest Davey as captain material at the start of the year, You would have to be dreaming. He was inperational around the ground, started and created so many opportunities, and if you watch him at 1/2 time, he is encouraging the troops. Boy, if the flash continues like this, he could be a fantasic long term captain!

    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,

    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
