    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.

She was on her second pack of fags at 5am. She’ll be coughing up a lung before the game even starts 😂 Nah, I steered clear of DL this morning; another thread on here last night being the reason.

Huge chance Dees to make a huge statement.

One change only - Kozzie will be missed but the excitement of a new Kolt may almost cancel that out.  Certainly looks as dynamic and as strong as Kozz.  Will he make Kozz earn his return for ANZAC Eve?

Backline settled and working beautifully as a UNIT / TEAM.  Midfield always prepared for good hard go and a forward line working with better structure and some smart delivery to space by the likes of Duke Tracc Spaz ANB with Frittata slipping unnoticed out the back often enough.  And Clarrie at 70% is so much better than many others at 100% - just wait,

I must add JVR's back up ruck work is very good for one s0 young who is not a "natural ruckman".

Tonight's game is just about one of those famous "eight pointers" !  Going into the bye with 5 in a row and just one loss would be a huge start to the season.

Brisvegas , on the other hand, is facing a disastrous start so they'll be  flat out to recover their season.

Our backs have been pretty slick. Big Joe will find May rather more difficult than some kid from Norf and I can't see Dipwood getting on top of a rejuvenated TMac. As always Charlie ( super player)  will be the danger and a real challenge/experience for McVee.

Max Trac and Viney will win the crucial Mids battle ( Neale's 250th notwithstanding) but what would really seal the deal is a big one from Oliver - it's due.

Kozzie leaves a hole for sure but it has provided an opportunity for the "Kolt" - good luck kid.

Hopefully BBB draws a crowd and allows the others a little more space. Fritta kicks 4 and we win. A couple from Trac sneaking forward would also help cover Kozzie's usual contribution.

Really looking forward to watching Windsor again - this kid is pure class and quickly becoming a favourite. ( I'm also starting to understand  the comparisons with our famous number 2)

That's a bit long winded for me but your poor old Uncle Bitter has been a bit under the weather of late and couldn't sleep! A life time of hedonism may finally be catching up.

Prediction. Dees to win by 9 or a full blow out and a 39 point victory.

Happy days - go Dees!

Back in Amsterdam for this one. Due to all the global daylight savings going-ons, this is the most friendly intercontinental time-slot that I can recall for some time, such that I can order a beer while watching with . . . not exactly pride . . . but less shame. For the local peeps, is Coco's the only go?

I thought Mini and BBO. Nailed it. 
 

important game. Not one to lose, 

JVR work around the ground is so very important.  A work in progress. But getting better each time. 
 

is it going to be wet  pity. Hope it stays dry

definitely an eight point game.  Make a statement Demons !

Salem has lost his drive. Lacks acceleration and kicking penetration.

We are winning , but the stats say that we are doing it  little differently. Losing inside 50, easier to score against and less effective at clearances. 
 

Will have to reverse a lot of that against Lions to win. The Lions are offensively strong but are really poor defensively so we will definitely get our looks. Kick accurately, apply pressure around the contest and take advantage of our chances and we will win.

Easy, right?

Nervous for this game, especially with Oliver being a rumoured late out (suspect Laurie will be in the inclusion if this eventuates). 

One of the biggest threats for tonight will be Bailey, IMO. He always seems to bob-up against us. 

So far this season I've been incredibly impressed and surprised by what I've seen on-field (by far surpassing my expectations at this stage). A win tonight will help instil belief and agree, that it may be a prelude of things to come (dare I say it), à la 2021.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
