    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.

We can bank the 4 pts but should have really been well beaten today. They kicked themselves out of it.

Nonetheless, what a fantastic win. Really liked the tackling pressure, especially in the 1st and 4th quarters.

If we can sort out the end to end transition (both defending and attacking) we'll be a hard side to play against this year. Loved Oliver, he's going to be some player. Jack Viney BOG by some margin.

Best on? Injuries? What's wrong with Hogan and his 3 goals? How was Oliver? When should I buy finals tickets?

Help a sister with third world internet out!

Best on is probably Viney, was az machine today, but honourable mentions to gawn dominating in the ruck and a fantastic opening game to Oliver.....

 

 

Hogan was very well held for the first 3 quarters. but the last quarter he finally found some room and drove us to a win.

 

get excited by oliver!!!!

 

give it another couple of weeks before you get finals tickets.....

Viney.

OMac ankle. On crutches at end of game. 

Hogan slept through the first half. Moved on to the ball in 3rd. Forward again in the last and came alive. Bloody star.

Oliver 17 touches in the first half, 1 in the second. Faded but very bloody exciting.

I'd wait a bit for the tix.

Jack Watts, follow this up week in and out! Best game for him yet!!

Kennedy! Wow 2nd efforts and pressure!

Gawn gave our mids great first options! Smashed them in the guts!

Oliver..... The ginger is a freak!

Viney is the hard center in the mids. just keeps moving the ball forward with intent!

Tom McDonald! rebounding intercept marking!

Great effort and endeavor! Showing us what we can do if we keep at it and don't give up!!!

GO DEES!

Watts has clicked. 

You knew we'd win when VDB's kick dug a trench on its way through for a goal. 

Tyson will lose his spot this year if he keeps this rubbish up. 

Very happy with Kennedy. Even more happy with GWS goal kicking and Steve Johnson's selfishness. 

Oliver! Oliver!

A Watts-lead come from behind victory against a good team. Not too shabby!

Like: Viney, Watts, Oliver, TMac. The belief.

Dislike: Tyson's, Frost's, OMac and Bugg's kicking.

Bit harsh on Frost. He was great in his pressure and efforts. And his tackle that should have had the GWS player holding the ball was a ripper. The umpires were utter Sh!te.

I think we underestimate the quality of GWS.. 

Great comeback & never say die attitude hopefully beginning with similar positions in practice games..  

Cant ask for anymore than that .. Sure some poor periods but remember great sides find a way to win!

I'm being picky but young Oliver had 5 possies in the second half. A great first up game.

Don't like his kicking SYL. I can see why they play him though. Speed and height.

2 interesting stats

1. Clayton Oliver had 15 contested touches, record for a first gamer is a tie between Jack Viney and Ollie Wines on 16

2. Jack watts had 100% disposal efficiency 4 score involvements and a goal in the last quarter

I thought the whole side was terrible with their disposal. I thought that there were more positives than negatives. We are still unable to hit targets when we are on the burst. Oliver was great, I think Petracca will be  a huge bonus when he comes in. Tommy Mac got better as the game went on. Lots to like.

And only 51% game time apparently, which the bulk of must have been in the first half. Very impressive.

Viney, Kennedy, Watts, Maxey, T-Mac up there. No Major Issues on the bench. For his first game Oliver was fanbloodytastic. Put one or 2 seniors to shame (Tyson.... ughh). Not finals worthy...yet. Check In again about Rnd 6 !

I really wish our key forwards would lead harder at the ball carrier and demand the footy instead of hanging out in front of goals for the big pack mark. Very frustrating, Hogan would kick bags of goals if he would just lead out of the goal square a bit more.

    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

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
