    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.

Did Mcgrath have a blatant dig at Bennell during the match? Didn't see it, but SEN this morning reported that Ashleigh McGrath had a go at Bennell for Bennys' effort in the 3rd Q against Collingwood when he supposedly wimped out of a contested mark.

SEN indicated that McGrath walked up to Bennell and pretended to cower in front of him. Anyone pick it up?

McGrath should be more concerned with his own performance. Brisbane fans at the ground were giving it to him for turning the ball over several times.

Yeah it did happen like how you mention it. A couple of minutes later, Bennell turned Mcgrath out nicely and done him over- so justice served I suppose..

Dude, im no prude, but i reckon your avatar is pretty poor. think you could do better. She is no angel, but i think we (dee supporters) are classier than that.

Thats good. coming from one of Bennells indig role models will only help him overcome this. I didn't see McGrath do that, & hadn't heard of this, but your news has added another wrinkle to my stuck on smile.

McGrath made some gestures about the squib and Bennell got to walk off to sing the song.

I saw it too.

It was on centre wing, MCC side after the ball went out of bounds. McGrath went straight up into Bennell's face and started ducking his head and carrying on.

In what was a less than subtle throwback to Voss's days as 'an elite sledger', it was a clearly premeditated act that bore no relation to anything Bennell did on the night.

Obviously the Brisbane team were worried about the impact Bennell might have with his blistering speed. They were spot on too, as Bennell ended up tearing McGrath a new [censored] over the course of the night.

Maybe next time Voss will attempt to curb Bennell by putting someone on him who has a modicum of pace, rather than a bloke who sledges well but is too old to cover such youthful speed and talent.

Yeah I saw it too. Was making a ducking gesture over "that mark" Benny didn't take in the Collingwood game.

His team got pumped by 50 points, so not too fazed.

More worries about Col and Ricky having a crack in the last quarter.

Yep ... but it's all part of the game. The great point for me was that it didn't seem to phase Benny one iota, and what's more, he put his body on the line plenty of times during the game.

Interesting this, I didn't see it, but McGrath certainly heard footsteps on half back at one stage.

Yes it was clearly highlighted and replayed on television at the time. Tony Shaw in commentary (also a legendary sledger) said at the time that mcgrath may regret this by the end of the match In view of the current score. He suggested that bennel might like to go up to him at the final siren and point to the scoreboard. Unfortunately they didn't capture that!!!

Her little duck mouth is off putting, and there is nothing sexy about fully naked surprise shower pics via spy-cam. Plus when the subject matter is that of a ditzy, never worked an honest days work in her life princess, and a moronic, alcoholic, dildo wearing, muzzball spazamataz- I can see how that choice in avatar may have been considered classless....

How’s the new avatar working out for y’all?

I noticed that the whole team were trying to verbally get under the boys skins. Obviously it didnt work as they were done "arse no lube".

If they actually focused on playing football that day instead of talking crap they may have only lost by 4 goals.... Maybe not! the way the demons played, it sent shivers down my spine. Exciting football.

They were saying that JB and Fev gave Chip and the real Warnock a bunch of crap before the bounce (ie Who are these guys? Get me a footy record so I can find out. We are going to have fun tonight). Heh. I hope they gave it back to them in the 4th.

    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
