    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.

I honestly think he is capable of kicking 50 goals this year.

40 would be a magnificent effort. It will get harder from now, will be the oppositions number one priority in our forward line.

Ricky Pettard has kicked 6 in two outings, and could have easily kicked 10. How many will he kick for the whole year.

I'm predicting 75, making him the best since Neitz in full flight when he was the Coleman Medalist.

What do we think?

I hate to sound negative, but he has no chance of kicking even 50 goals THIS year. Two reasons, firstly we are still going to be a bottom three side. So the ball inside 50 wont be either there enough or delivered with quality. And secondly, there are only one or two small forwards in the game capable of kicking 50 goals, let alone 75!

Think of the best small forwards in the game: Milne, Chapman, Rioli, Le Cras. None of them could kick 75 even in a great side, let alone a bottom side.

When we get better, he is certainly capable of kicking 50. But by this stage our attack will be focused on Watts at full forward and having cream midfielders kicking goals (like Murphy, Judd, Gibbs we will have Scully, Trengove etc). So even at this stage he will not be able to kick 75. But I'd be rapt with a 50 goal season!

But the difference is that none of those guys, with the possible exception of LeCras, are their team's main focal point when going forward. Petterd is for us. I remember a few years ago Mark Williams nearly kicked a hundred goals for Hawthorn when they were crap, simply because they went to him so much. I'm not saying that Petterd will do that, but I do think that 50 is certainly possible.

I'd tip 40ish. 2 goals a game based on the occassional bag supported by the fact that he always contributes something.

He'll also get that many assists; that the part that makes me dizzy. I think he had 4 goal assists this week, which is just phenomenal.

Remembering that Jurrah is also a player who delivers as many goal assists as goals, and that Sylvia and Morton are as much about inside 50s as goals themselves, you'd have to think that even as Petterd's role shifts away from being the focal point later in the year, he'll still be kicking one or two goals a game.

Ricky will kick 25-30 goals,

He's a quarter there already after two games, games in which he could have easily kicked a total of 10.

He will kick at least 50, maybe 73.

Green if he stays at full forward will also kick 50+. liam jurrah with half a season will kick 30.

Jack watts with 12 games will kick 15

I hate these type of posts, as it usually means an injury coming up. Every time a new player plays a good game, he is the next brownlow medallist to some on here and a short time later is out for the year injured.

It depends if we can get other goal kicking options around him. If he is going to be our main scoring option he may get double teamed and smashed. Until we can get Jurrah and hopefully Watts back and kicking goals we need our small mid forwards to step up. Last week it was Petterd but you cant expect him to kick 3-4 per week. Bate needs to start kicking goals, I would love to see Maric given a chance over the next few weeks, Sylvia coming back, Green will send more time up forward as long as our midfield works like it did on Saturday.

Petterd will make a fantastic 3rd option up forward capable of kicking 35+goals per year. Make no mistake he won't be getting a zoning defender this week, he will get Adelaides best defender.

    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

    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
