    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.

Ash has been on here long enough to deserve our respect. I'd simply reply to him by saying that if the Dog's players' want to duck, then Bugg's flop (and it was a flop) is fair game.

Obviously you guys are loving Bugg, but that was pathetic. Blind sides Easton Wood, then goes down far to easy for a free shot at goal.

Guess you can say it's smart play, but I don't think anyone wants that sort of behaviour or play rewarded with a goal.

 

Give it a rest..

Nah stuff it mate, you take whatever you can get!

Bugg has his flaws and being an unlikeable bloke pays off from time to time.

I like. I like.

Since 2016, we have been unsociable. We niggle. We scrag and we talk trash.

Point in case: Watts strolled up to Johannisen and gave it to him. Plus, it didn't look contrived. Jack looked natural doing so. Not Jack Viney natural but he didn't look like he was doing it unwillingly.

Finish it off boys. We are in the eight. Let's stay there.

We've got the bye, so that makes it kinda hard.

Sorry you don't want my honest input.

I don't mind your input. I see your point... but we need mongrel and pricks like that. We were pushed around for a decade. It's good to see us push back.

Something has clicked with Oscar. Hibberd has really organised our defence.

intensity, tackling and smothers first class. We are playing like a well structured team. Great coaching Goodie.

Hibbo is one the best pick ups for you guys in years, doesn't he make a difference.

We miss him and will continue to miss him for seasons to come.

One word always pops into my head when I see him play, and I don't know why.... "Frankston"

I'm loving Bugg based on last week. But I agree. Wouldn't put it beyond Goody to drop him based on some of this weeks antics. Gotta be careful with the me me me stuff. 

Not sure we needed Buggs rough stuff, it just fired up the Bullies who got 2 in a row. Just stick to playing tough accountable footy.

Bugg is the sort of player that if he played for another team I would hate his guts and to be honest I borderline don't like him now because he is such an arrogant player with no skills to back it up. 

Very very impressed with Oscar! Great game all around. 

Exceptional tackling pressure from us and some good forward entries. Hannan in the middle has been good. 

I'm not confident but maybe that's just MFCSS?

Absolutely. After last week particularly. 5 goals is nothing. Start again.

Yep, Bulldogs ducking has frustrated me for ages.

Like the Bugg flop, I just wish the umpires wouldn't reward it

He's an ego. He did get us a free goal. Gotta have a spread of different types of players. Bugg's workrate is huge now, and that's the really defining aspect for me now. That and whether his skills hold up.

That was a huge goal from Watts at the end again with him showing poise to kick a clutch goal. 

The dogs were able to get some space in that quarter and showed they can score very quickly. They dominated inside 50s and had the ball in their half a lot so our defence has held up very well, with some poor entries from the dogs. 

On the umpiring I said it earlier but I feel like we are definitely getting a good run from them, interestingly I didn't notice anything during the Pies game and they were up in arms (honestly I think they were having a whinge). This game I think we've been lucky. Bugg's free was soft as butter, one of our goals (Harmes?) was touched and not reviewed, and we got lucky with some 50/50s (highs, in the back, holding the ball). I hope the umps don't feel the need to square the ledger! 

And for that matter the dogs got a fantastic run in the GF last year so turnabout and all that. 

Big second half, the players have finally done what we asked and got a healthy lead at half time. Let's make it count and go on with it. If we can win this quarter we can bury the dogs.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
