    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.

Honestly, I read somewhere on this very forum, that some of you were contemplating the possibility of seconding this bloke to the team.....

He makes Mick 'The Galloping Gasometer' Nolan look like Chris Judd. For all you youngsters out there, google the name, if you're interested.

He is the biggest gump playing AFL footy - talk about no awareness, turning circle of my old HG and just a dumb player.

It was painful watching him. The fact is, St.Kilda's bottom six are woeful and he's in that bracket.

What say you?

Would make a good bail out target. the exact type we need. He is not a game breaker, but he fits our structure and the hole we curently have, plus competes to get the ball down and takes a big defender. If cheap, get him in I say!

I remember Mick from when I was a kid. Harsh on Mick. Kosi isn't fit to suck his toejam.

Kosi is one of the worst forwards/rucks of the modern age. If he was a horse you would shoot him.

RIP Mick Nolan.

Todays game was a perfect example of how your bottom 6 can make or break you. St Kilda's were atrocious

It had nothing to do with the bottom 6. They had no pace, no structure and a dozen players that would be border line at other clubs.

Exactly. Brett Peake, Robert Eddy, Andrew McQualter, Stephen Milne, Justin Koschitzke and Zac Dawson (my take on their six worst yesterday) were so bad it wasn't funny. Kosi close to the worst of that lot.

Collingwood had Blair and Beams. After that they got a contribution from the other 20.

It had nothing to do with the bottom 6. They had no pace, no structure and a dozen players that would be border line at other clubs.

How can you say it had nothing to do with the bottom 6, then say they have 12 players who aren't good enough?

Unquestionably, St Kilda's bottom 6 are just not good enough at AFL level and were exposed yesterday. In contrast Collingwood's bottom 6 are much, much better.

He'd be a very good player if he wasn't on the same team as Riewoldt.

If you honestly believe that then I'd stop posting on footy forums.

The guy is a hack and turned it over at every embarrassing opportunity.

Mick Nolan, a big lump o' Lard, that was a game breaker. A lot like Clark Keating was a game breaker. They win premierships.

This is why I've pushed for Mark Jamar for so many years to support him, & help & hope he will realise his talent.

Physical ruckmen are so important, especially when they have footy intelligence as well.

But he played most of this year without Riewoldt and was pretty useless. Not as bad as some are making out, but definitely an ordinary footballer.

Rubbish. Saints were a point away from winning the flag and are the second best team in the comp. Their team has deficiencies but I suspect that's as much to do with game plan and their refusal to move the ball quickly.

The reason the Saints lost is they got nothing from many of their top 6, Hayes, Montagna, Dal Santo, Fisher, Gilbert and Roo. Goddard was the best player over 2 weeks.

Blair, Beams, Toovey and Jolly were very ordinary yesterday.

Yes, their refusal to move the ball quickly was a weakness yesterday. But it got them to within one point last week, and it helped them beat Geelong in the qualifying final.

I stand by my comment that their bottom 6 aren't good enough and are usually masked by the dominance of Hayes, Riewoldt, Montagna, Dal Santo, Goddard, Fisher, Gilbert, Gram etc. Whereas I believe Collingwood's bottom 6 are a lot better, despite some of them playing poorly yesterday.

Last week Collingwood's better players (Swan, Didak, Pendlebury, Jolly) were down on output, but they got enough from the rest of their side to keep them in the contest. Yesterday St Kilda's better players were down (Hayes, Riewoldt, Montagna, Gram) but they got nothing from the rest of their side.

For instance, would you take a group consisting of Beams, Blair, Toovey, L. Brown, Goldsack and Reid or would you take McQualter, Kosi, Eddy, Peake, Dawson and Milne?

And to say Jolly was 'very ordinary' yesterday suggests you didn't follow the game that well. His dominance was unquestionable.

Was he really? (Shakes his head in disbelief....)

Some recruiters have NFI.

He did win the Rising Star in his 1st year...I would be pretty confident to say that whichever club had rights on the early picks in the Kosi year, would have taken him also. Just like they would have all taken Watts.

Will you say the same about Watts in 10 years if he doesn't work out as we hope? Pretty easy sledge IMO.

He'd be a very good player if he wasn't on the same team as Riewoldt.

Not sure about that at all. I think his best position is as a ruckman working around the ground. I wouldn't expect anything better than 30 goals out of him even with no Reiwoldt.

It had nothing to do with the bottom 6. They had no pace, no structure and a dozen players that would be border line at other clubs.

Not sure about a dozen.

Many 'experts' will match a teams bottom six against another teams when the 'front liners' are seeming to be evenly matached. The bottom six of St Kilda's has been mentioned plenty of times as the 'very' reason they struggle to take that final step.

I would suggest the bottom 6 is very relative. You have just emphasised this further by adding in another 6 players.

Pace has never been their go. Structure certainly has but it is quite difficult to set up your structure effectively when the opposition set up so well and don't allow you to.

The forward pressure Collingwood has been renowned for this year won the day.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
