Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Didn't look like he was hurting too much on the Telly Tonight....Brad still has some good football in him, but i have my doubts as to whether he is a captain as well.

Oh for gods sake, he was on a comedy footy show. What the bloody hell do you want him to do? Burst into tears while ranting and raving I suppose.....

But given the tone towards our captain right now I'm sure he'd be resoundingly abused for that too.

The guy is having a rough patch certainly, he is playing like he is burdened by the role and position he is in, but he is not alone and he definitely isn't getting a lot,

if any of help from those around him. The problems we are having (again) are team, all are responsible.

I'm not apologising for rubbish form but he was almost resoundingly supported for the captaincy in here. How quick we forget what he has done for this club in

pretty frigging recent times in favour of berating, no lynching a guy who is clearly in a form slump. Form fluctuates a lot and often.

Do we need better from our leaders? Yes and we probably need better leaders full stop. But stop abusing Green, it's cheap.

Indeed ! Short memories.

There's a term for this sort of reaction, it escapes my mind for the time being, but many here have it.

Certainly no 'fantasy'.

This should be merged with the "I hate the logo because we lost to the Eagles" thread.

Any other drastic overreactions that people want to get in before next week? Kaspersky failed to find the virus on your computer? Hankook tyres caused you to crash into a tree? Start a thread!

Fluff!

BE CALM YOUNG DEMONOIDS! BRAD GREEN is one of Our few proven champions. Champions don't lie down for long. But, he aint young enough for a utility role anymore. Bails.....settle him down up forward and......ROTATE!!! B)

I'm more angry about the fact he was happy and all smiles when And Maher pointed out that we were still in the 8.

I feel embarrassed that we are. He seems genuinely excited and happy.

Sums up our club for me. Shithouse.

Couldn't he have come out and said "actually it's a little embarrassing considering the footy we are playing at the moment, we are having a good hard look at ourselves and working on some ideas that will ensure we are there at week 1 of finals"

Just so [censored] off right now at everything Melbourne.

[censored].

Give it a break, he's been put on the spot. its easy for you to say that after giving it some thought behind a computer screen without any pressure. Brad probably feels the same way as we do, but he just couldn't present it?

Here's another problem. We call our good players "Champions".

Luke Hodge is a champion. Chris Judd is a champion. Scott Pendlebury is a champion.

Brad Green is and has been a good to very good player.

We have not had a champion footballer since Flower.

Brad Green has been/is a wonderful ambassador for our club. I am pleased he represents us and no other club. As a player and representative of the football department he actually has the runs on the board and stood the test of time. Moreover he has given his heart and soul for the place and remained loyal ( a novel quality in the era of the mercenary).I cannot recall or imagine him ever been in troble or causing concern for those running the club.

Not a bad role model I would have thought.

It seems to me that he has been somewhat thrust into the leadership position which would be a fair challenge for anyone with our young side and now some want to rip into him for appearing on a TV show for 5 minutes.

This bloke is closer to the end of his playing football journey than its commencement and he would be the first to acknowledge his form could have been better but I'm confident he will deal with these challenges just like he always has.

Great clubman Greeny and he can go on 20 TV shows if he likes.

He's one bloke you leave alone.

After the game is not a comedy show. Before the game is.

I would give Brad a week at Casey to toughen him up. You wouldn't.

Not enough hard nosed supporters around here. The club has drained you over the last 47 years. It is understandable, but none the less sad.

Spot on. Brad Green's last champion game was in the 2000 finals series, He has played good solid games. But not champion.

Why should he be "left alone" after last thursday...Perfect example of why this club has a soft underbelly.

Brad is a great guy and has been a good player, but his captaincy this year has been plain awful.

It was actually not on Before the Game which is the comedy show, he was on the program after the match which discusses the weekends footy results in a serious format. Anyone who saw it would say that he handled it very poorly and it was a perfect chance for our captain to give the members something other than cliches and giggles.

I heard Stynes on the radio yesterday and it was the first time I've been disappointed in him. I didn't expect him to flat out say Bailey will go, but he rehashed all the cliches and "baileyisms". It's gotten to the point that I can't bare to listen to people from our club anymore as I'm sick of all talk no action on field.

So Brad Green is the reason the clubs got a soft underbelly is it.

Good, I'm glad we got that one settled.

Funny I seem to recall him running backward, sideays, headlong into backs and risking his own personal safety on numerous occaisions. Also recall him overcoming obstacles in the past. He's struggling at the moment for sure but I think we owe him a little respect.

You're entitled to your opinion and in part I can understand your sentiments, we are all hurting, but I wouldn't be executing our leader just yet.

No, but your attitude towards his form is soft as. What's the problem with dropping someone for a week after 5 truly horrible games?

He is better than that.

What Queen said.

If I was rating the "supporters" performance it would be significantly worse than Brads.

Deep down there is a lot of supporters on here and in the public who like the MFC not succeeding, Being the nice polite boys wearing the suits.

Giving Greeny a week in the two's would put a rocket through the whole list.

I doubt it will get done, but it dam well should.

I know its a small thing but whats with him calliing the coach of the team we go into battle against this week in what is now a big game for us Craigy. Craigy. Youve got to be joking. Shows the same lack of respect we show teams on the field.

the selction of Green as Captain has only been to the detriment of his own game and to the team for not finding a true on-filed leader. Yes he's struggling and I see nothing is his demeanor currently to suggest it will change. .

Neeta would have been far more sombre and circumspect and truly embarassed for the club.Junior would have a different take as well im sure..

True leadership starts with actions...not words

Acknowledge Green has had an average start. He could easily have been an All Australian last year and changed his football around to become a very courageous player over the last 5 years or so. Give him some slack for an average 5 games for gods sake.

Didn't see the show but got a text from a Collingwood friend pr!ck, "just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for Melbourne - brad green's performance on ch10 has done more damage if you can believe it".

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
