    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.

I dont agree with these...

I know carroll wasnt super but he took a few good marks when needed, the whole backline didnt really work.

Bruce was one of our best, for once he stood out in a game when we were losing which doesnt really happen too often.

I dont think i saw Godfrey in that analysis... <_< i maybe wrong though

Completely and utterly disagree in regards to Bell. Was our best defender along with Jared, but an absolute mile. Not sure why he is rated so poorly around this place either. He showed Whelan how it's done today!

Carroll was ok, nothing out of the ordinary. He is a solid FB, but he is no star.

Miller was also good. How anyone can say he failed, is beyond me.

Marked nearly everything that came his way, kicked 2 very good goals and led hard all day. He was the only one still presenting in the last quarter.

White was awful out the middle. Jamar had more influence in the ruck than White.

I thought Bell was good.

Miller showed some good signs.

You know it's gonna be a long, fruitless season when you can honestly say Bell was one of our best. And Miller tries hard. His hearts in the right place. But when it comes to disposal, I'd swear he was blind folded.

the worst 3 word analyst ive ever read!

miller was great today, stood up when needed, kicked well, kicked 3 goals what more do you want?

bell i thought was good also but its hard to be great when they run the ball into our backline with little to no pressure, also thought carrol was very good, out marked his opponet about 5 times and spoilt well all day

Hmmm I feel like I watched a different game to you joeboy... :wacko:

Miller presented, marked and goaled and worked hard all day, one of the very few that actually did. Did he fail? Absolutely not. One of the best games I think I've seen him play.

As for Bell - destroying Demonlanders' faith? I thought today was one of his best games, along with Miller. He didn't stop trying even after he got whacked in the nose.

Jones - made a contribution? I think that's a bit of an understatement. I thought he did much more than merely contribute. He was all over it, driving it long into our forward 50 rather than this pissy handball stuff that we saw again today.

Daniher said on Channel Nine that he wouldn't rule out dropping Davey and Trav to Sandringham - can you imagine? :o

Right just got home. Shocking game, but we did fight it out considering the bad run with injuries.

Whelan - was soundly thrashed

Carroll - was not disgraced

Bell - solid medium backman (I thought he did well today, though alot of you appear to disagree)

Brown - gave decent run

Rivers - well rounded game

Ward - under the pump

Johnstone - harassed to death/career worst game (yes he had a terrible game, but his team mates didn't help him out at all. he was blocked out of numerous contests by 2 men tagging him at once, and his team mates didnt do a thing to help him. I'm defending him because he's my favorite player. As sh*t as he was, I blame team mates for not showing any comradeship whatsoever. And therein lies our main problem currently)

Johnson - not doing enough

Green - poor milestone game

Davey - becoming a passenger

Moloney - another solid game (am I the only one on here who thinks he is actually doing well considering how little footy he has player the last year and abit?)

McDonald - battled as usual

Robertson - not much opportunity

Neitz - get well soon :S

Jones - made small contribution

Miller - is getting better

Jamar - is going nowhere

Bate - lacks confidence + form/mr butter fingers

Wheatley - poor milestone game

Bruce - battled all match

White - switched up game

Godfrey - what we expected (tried hard, but just isnt a good enough AFL footballer)

Terrible start to the season for us. Slightly worried, but we lost first 3 last year and came back. Problem is we've lost 2 at the G already, that's more than the entire season last year :S I had both matches penciled in as a win, and they'll obviously come back to haunt us.

CMON DEES. LIFT YOUR F*CKING GAME!

"Miller was great!" Competitive maybe. But Great? Come on. You're as confused as Miller when he gets possession.

wtf is goin on? I disagree with so many of those analysises!~

Carn The Dees, it's Happy Hour! Every twit, unconsidered opinion gets aired post-game usually by relatively new posters or a few oldies (ie YNSM) with axes to grind. Ride with it and look for more thoughtful posts later on.

Yeah I've been ranting. But I'm upset damnit! I want my pound of flesh. I'm living in Sydney with Vic plates and Demons stickers on my car. What do I get for it? Key scratches down the side and flattened tires. All I want is this list to start fullfilling it's hyped up potential. Do right by the fans and make an effort. They're a rabble from the evidence so far.

I must have been at a different game than most of you:

Bruce - a liability today

Bell - solid effort today

Miller - better show today

Bate - half paced butter-fingers

Godfrey - battled on typically

Ward - His opponent was?

Jamar - slow reaction time

Jamar - misses the boat

When we were down by 6 goals, the only player running and tackling hard was TJ

that is the worst analysis ever! do u actually watch the game? bell played a great game and so did miller! Carroll put in a solid effort and without him we would have been beaten by a larger margin and how u say bruce is not an elite anymore just shows your pathetoc support for some of these players.. next time actually watch the game.

Can people please think before they completely shoot down certain players!

Daniel Bell...........how anyone can bag this bloke is beyond me!

Here is a kid finally getting his chance to play regular seniors footy after having to wait his turn to play half back while players like Brown, Wheatley, Bizzell, Walsh, Ward have been in his way over the previous seasons.

He has played 25-30 odd games, and I have see him improving in each one of them.

Let's not forget his broken ankle he had at the end of 2005, and a hamstring problem early last season before coming back into the team and being one of our most consistent in the run into the finals last year.

Players like Bell are a part of our teams future!

What do supporters want to do.....scrap the whole list and start from scratch ????

Cut the guy some slack!!!!!!

    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,

    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
