    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.

Read this post carefully. Weiderman has collided with McGuiness in our forward line. McGuiness has a suspected broken arm. The Weid is fine. Blues got a free kick, stuffed it and fended off Weiderman high. Weid got a free, kicked it inside to Morris and Morris kicked a goal to take us to a 7 goal lead.

I watched the last quarter of the pies vfl game and after a nice mark by the weed said to the fella next to me that he'll be pretty special once he bulks up. The fella said he could borrow some of his

It was a  hard game to watch and times as the game lacked any kind of flow, repeat stoppages with little breaks were the theme of the day.  Both teams pushed the half forwards up the ground trying to

Spencer on the siren.....kicks a...goal! 19.11.125 to 2.6.18.  and for you Weiderman fans out there (like myself). It is Weiderman 4.0.24 to the Northern Blues 2.6.18.

Quick break for the Blues and sounded like a goal, however, our defensive man, S. Frost big tackle to save the goal. 

 

And then screws up his kick across half back, straight to the opposition. At least he will fit in perfectly.

Frost was originally recruited as a back man if my memory serves me correctly so he would certainly strengthen our back line with TMac. 

He needs to play in our backline and not forward.

We are giving the Blues all the opportunities to kick a goal. We are turning over the ball a lot in our favourite half back line. But the Blues are terrible and we are defending well - just not doing well out of defence.

They still haven't scored a goal though.

Nice pack mark by Weed. Juggled it twice before final grab. I said a few weeks ago he looks like his body is not yet big enough but he continues to prove me wrong. Nice direct kick for goal.

And a second goal a minute later from set shot 40-50m out. Did not deviate at all.

The Weed is growing  strong!

Half time catering report. The back story is it was my beautiful daughter's 21st last night. She and I organised it all together so I kept myself tidy but was able to loosen the reins a little towards the end ......and afterwards.

That said, the egg and bacon roll was looked forward to as both nutrition and morning / afternoon after therapy. It did NOT disappoint one bit. Boy was it good - the best one I have ever had. Well done Casey kitchen!

That qtr was a lot more scrambly than the first. Had to take a phone call (and eat aforementioned roll) so I missed a good chunk of the play details. We had the same contributors as 1st qtr but just not as dominant. The ground is getting more sloppy and ball is being held up in more ground contests.

Frosty was showing his usual schizophrenic passages. Great at a contest and tackle one minute, then poor kick leading to turnover and shot at goal by Blues. He's not yet earning a call up back to the firsts on this form. 

Weed, as already mentioned, had a very very good qtr.

Having never seen the Weed myself, who does he best compare to in the way he plays? Gunston? (Would be over the moon if he got to that sort of level)

Taller I think. I'm hoping a shorter Lobb. Maybe a Scotty Lucas type (not the left foot part, the rangy CHF long kick part). That is of course wishful thinking. I've been hoping for a Scotty Lucas since... well... Scotty Lucas.

I'm glad he's happy with it. As a matter of interest, was it a contested mark?

A contested mark is the only sort of mark you should be content with :P

The bloke who was killing us at the other end last night is a fair comparison of player type. 

Yeah. Long telescopic arms. I wonder what Weed's height is compared to him? Lovely pretty kicking action too, though his kicking was a slight knock from memory out of his draft.

Big raps on ANB and Weiderman at half time. More so than Newton and Dawes who they have discussed are important. ANB a little busier in that term that Newton. 

HT Stats.
Disposals - Newton 18, Dunn 14, Neal-Bullen 14
Goals - Weideman 3, Briggs 2, Grimes, Morris, Newton, King.

QT Stats
Disposals - Newton 13, Dunn 8, Neal-Bullen 7.
Goals - Briggs 2, Grimes, King, Weideman 1

As others have said i think Lynch is a good comparison, he's quite mobile, got a bloody good set of hands and a beautiful kick, once he develops an AFL body he'll be very good in tandem with Jesse. 

he seems to be past his injuries which is a huge plus and still very much building confidence and form but he's good enough to be the best player that comes out of his draft.

These egg and bacon rolls, I have heard so much about them, do they deliver up to Daintree? Long way to come for E/B roll, but I will make it one of these days soon hopefully.

Might get a bit cold before arrival. Their secret is no limits on the lashings of bacon.

Trenners kicks the first of the 3rd. Dunn doing everything down back. Blues have opened their forward line, and as we'd expect - Dunn is loving the space. 

Another Blues player goes down and the stretcher is out. It was a sling tackle and hitting the head, so not sure who tackled, but sure it will be looked at.

considering how good the young crop from last years draft have been id be ecstatic if he ended up being in the top 5 of the group

Very exciting to hear the Lynch comparisons. If he ends up developing into a 50 goal a season forward im sure we will all be over the moon

    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

    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,
