    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.

Absolutely, go Webber... And failing that go Alonso.

Hamilton could turn vettell around on his way to 2nd place behind Webber, leaving Alonso 3rd.

If Red Bull do not help Mark, i wouldn't be suprised to see an australian driving a ferrari next year. Now that is something worth waiting for.

I feel dudded,,, for Mark & for Aus.

I think something was wrong with that car. It & he, were slow for the whole weekend. Abnormally slow for him, with that other team car so brisk... Hmmmn. Red Bull,,, No Bull.

I think if Jack Dyer was around he would be smelling Blue cod!

PS: I totally agree... I was wondering that same thing.

I've never been a Ferrari fan, to me their like Carlton. I love Alonso as a driver, a foil to Schumaker, & before that,,, Alain Prost.

Yes absolutely everything went against Mark last night-it was unbelievable. I thought he should have tyre stopped under safety car.

But that track is just so bad for passing. The "Dirty Air" from the downforce makes it almost impossible. Look at Alonso, 40 laps he was stuck, and he tried everything.

Mark sadly lost it on Saturday. Qualifying 5th just made it too hard 0.6 of a second is a lot in F1.

I would be talking to Ferrari if i was Mark Webber. Red Bull backed Vettell and they got the result in both categories. They can never back Mark now.

Have to agree 100% with your comments.

Webber doesnt seem to be getting total support from Red Bull

Vettell is their man, I guess you can justify that, because he is a lot younger

Just disappointing for Webber he couldnt do better in qualifying.

Having said all that, finishing 3rd is still a very fair effort.

If he thinks he is getting a raw deal driving for Red Bull

he will have to weigh up his options.

If he does get an offer from another team, he still has to compete against Vettell

He may be worse off.

Be interesting too see how it pans out.

Nah, he will be fine if he can score a number one drive. Red Bull are a good team, but Webber will always be number 2 after last weekend unless Vettell completely blows it.

There is strong Talk that Massa has had enough, so if that is the case i would love to see Mark take his place in 2011

But he will never be given a number one car at Red Bull, not while Vettell is there.

If he wants another crack at a championship he must walk IMO. If he is happy to assist Vettell win more Championships then stay, at least he knows exactly where he stands.

I agree, that every thing was against Mark in this race but also I think the last race as well. I think from memory he struggled a little in quals, for maybe the last 2 races. Engines are getting worn from the long season.

How do we know he was getting an Equal share of whats left of the good Bits? I don't think he has.

Red Bull are determined to build a Marquee BRAND,,, & need a Young, Marquee Star,,, to better McLarens,, Hamilton... Who is english & dark. and red Bull is backed by a big german.

I'd like Mark to leave Red Bull, as they've shown how they intend to proceed.

So, he could maybe go to Ferrari,,,, or to drive with Schumaker. It looks like Ferrari & McLaren, & Renault will be strong again, coming on. It may be a good time to move on.

If i was Mark i would walk right now, with no hard feelings. I don't think he wants to be number 2. Shall be an interesting summer.

Wish it was this year...it's obvious Mark will be used as a Red Bull Shield for the Golden Boy....let's hope Mark can win in Melbourne at least.

Go to Ferrari Mark, maybe they can show you some respect.

Red Bull didn't like mark almost Upsetting their plans developing the young Vettell into a star.... Webberr almost dashed them..>

Takeing No chances this Year, their going to scuttle his season early,,, so he can't catch up to the Young upstart. But will be there if the Kid gets injured. Webber will get the good bits if Vettell has an accident and is hurt.

The Anti Devil, the NoBull company that Webbers found himself with. He's got sticky fingers from the sugery crap he's being spun there.

Get the Hell out Mark, this year.

Find a better drive, before they make you look like a second stringer. Vettell gets All the good Bits. With no Problems. Red Bullsh'.

Mark Webber take a bow !

Drive of the weekend. 18th at the start and just drove through e veryone to get to the Podium.

No thanks to his team. When will he get the good car, with the good bits.

Oh, thats right, Red Bull is sold mostly to younger buyers. Mark your too old for Red Bull. Now, who are the more mature buyers in F1? Hmmn, probably the ones who buy Ferrari's.. Maybe that would be a better fit, Mark eting wise.

What are you waiting for Webber?

Red Bull are deliberately sandbagging him to Vettells advantage. you watch when vettells well clear of Mark, Marks car will become reliable and fast for the one/twos.

Vettell is their marketing 'child'.

Mark has no real future there.

Ferrari should shed Massa and put Webber with Alonso.

That said, Webber would never approve of being the number 2 to Fernando.

    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
