    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.

I believe we can make the 8.

If and i meen if we had of beaten coll and bull we would be 5/3 what is your thought's .

No neg posters please.

lol, if MFC ALSO had not lost the games they were favourites for (NM & WCE) they would then be 7-1.. and if they had not lost to Hawthorn in round 1 they would be 9-0, and if they had won only 1 less game in 2008 MFC would have Jack Watts & a the #2 pick also.

Possibility on MFC making the 8 are slim... very slim. So slim it would make an anorexic person look morbidly obese.

Your point is?

We won't make the 8. And that isn't negative - considering we have to win 8 games to do that and we still play teams such as Geelong, Carlton, Collingwood, St Kilda etc.

I'd call you a fool, but I don't want to be negative...

So instead I'll just draw attention to your bizarre signature.

You make me not want to drink redbull.

Our games for the rest of the season:

Round 10 vs Geelong: LOSS

Round 11 vs Carlton: MAYBE

Round 12 vs Collingwood: LOSS

Round 13 vs Adelaide: LOSS

Round 14 vs St Kilda: LOSS

Round 15 vs Essendon: WIN

Round 16 vs Fremantle: LOSS

Round 17 vs Sydney: WIN

Round 18 vs Brisbane: LOSS

Round 19 vs Richmond: WIN

Round 20 vs Hawthorn: MAYBE

Round 21 vs Port Adelaide: LOSS

Round 22 vs North Melbourne: WIN

Which would leave us at 8-10 wins for the season. Not enough for the 8.

And you call us fools.

We'll be extremely unpredictable this season (as we've already shown). I think the harder second half draw will help us. No pressure, nothing to loose. I expect us to play better against a St Kilda, rather than a North Melbourne. If I was being extremely optimistic, I could say that 5 or 6 more wins may well happen. That said, I'd have absolutely no idea which teams we'd beat and which we'd loose too, because as I say, we'll continue to be totally unpredictable. This should be frustrating but exciting at the same time.

We are too hot and cold at the moment, we will continue to surprise some teams and then lose games we expect to win like north and west coast. still reckon we will win 8 or 9 for the year. Likely finish 10th to 13th.

There are sides I reckon we'll surprise a few and trouble. Like St Kilda... They have a great defence, but not much of a forward line. Our defence, currently the 4th best in the league, will cause them more issues than most. That game, along with the Geelong one, will be won by the goal-kicking mids.

The annoying thing is that we might get run over by a running side like Essendon or Carlton, which will be, sad to say, hard to swallow.

The Pies one is big for me though. Big audience, big opponent with no home ground advantage. The biggest win of the year would be the Cats next week if miracles could happen... but the Pies one is a far greater possibility, and has the potential to be a watershed day for the club with what I'm sure will be a MASSIVE turnout. Absolutely massive.

We will not make the 8 this year. We were never going to. I would suggest that if you think we will you have dangerously high expectations and suggest you water them down know rather than make unreasonable dummy spits on this sight when our team links together a few bad performances. Fairies don't exist at the bottom of the garden.

Even if we did, we'd have to fall across the line to get in and even then, we'd just be making up numbers.

We're still looking at 9-12 IMO -- which I'd view as a successful year under the circumstances.

To make the 8 we have to win the Sydney, North Melbourne and Richmond matches easily, then we'd also have to beat Essendon, Hawthorn, Adelaide (away) and Port (away) or maybe Brisbane (away) or Carlton.

Obviously we'd have to win at least one more interstate game, plus we'd have to beat the teams below us on the ladder and put up a good show against the likes of Carlton, Essendon and Hawthorn (and by that I mean win one or two of them).

Short answer: we won't win enough games.

But I wouldn't be surprised if we knocked off St Kilda or picked up another interstate win.

We have the 2nd or 3rd best defence in the AFL at present depending on which stat you look at so making the 8 is still possible.

Attack, tackling hard and good delivery to the forward line is going to be critical. Nietz said he wouldn't have got a kick against West Coast because of the poor delivery into the forward line, if he was playing, so that is a priority for the Dees to improve on.

Do we really want to make the 8 this year ? Do we want that attention. To finish anything under 5-6 is a waste of time. There may be some warm fuzziness to be had to do so but it will be very short lived. Making the eight per se is not a real goal...to make top 4 with a real chance to tilt is. Making finals is not a goal..its a path. Premierships are the goal and to do that consolidation of a good working and competitve team is the vehicle to do that. That team needs more consistency and skills than presently presenting.

Should we look to the 8 this year ? I dont think so. Lets spread some games around and build the base.

With Fremantle & Port Power in the 8, there's are good chance we will play them in the 1st week at THEIR venue - if we sneak in. Then it's all over.

Should we look to the 8 this year? Wouldn't be a bad idea to give the young ones a taste of finals action & make them hungry next year.

Finals experience should never be Scoffed at.

Making the 8 this year would be MASSIVE to this club-who knows the first week could be at the MCG-If we make the 8 we deserve the experience.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
