  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

IMO belly was best on ground today the only person who rivaled him was green, but bell had a direct opponent and shut him down, while green played on the wing.

did not concede a goal all day (the only goal welsh kicked was while ward was picking him up).

his spoiling from behind was fantastic, his drive out of the backline was awesome. 6 tackles and 20 touches. 10 kicks and 10 handballs.

i've taken off the belly blinkers and i'll tell you what he is looking even better when you can compare him to everyone else.

Good thread - simply outstanding, brave as the day is long and just gives his all for the club.... any Belly knockers want to post some humble pie?

Did not get beaten in a one on one contest all day. Helped out the other defenders. Saved 2 almost certain goals. Kicking was accurate. Evasive skills were excellent. Best game i've seen him play. B.O.G for me.

Heard on 3AW in the car on the way home that he had 10 1%ers, amazing effort.

He was clearly 2nd BOG today behind Green, they both were excellent.

That decision making process of his that appeared questionable early on in his career appears to be very much on the improve - his timing and his reading of the play have also come on massively this year.

I heard 11 ;)

There are a few of us who have been behind Belly since the start. I'm glad that today, his 38th career game, he has stuck it up all those who didn't believe he could make it.

Well done Belly, an absolutely brilliant defensive job today.

You are as brave, as honest, as hard and as exciting as they come.

what impressed me about bell and carrol also, was finally our defence found the ability to close quickly on the leading forward and get a punch in...

it's so inspirational when a guy punches it away like carrol and bell did all day today...

add in whelan instead of Ward (how many turnovers...hmm) and rivers back into the defence perhaps to replace Brown, and that is a promising defence for the future. i like wheatley, i think he is much better option than brown or ward because his kicking skills are so great and damaging

Yep, he gave 110% all day (seeing as though you can only physically give 100% and he had 10 x 1%ers I guess that is technically true), and I reckon he was BOG simply because of his tackling and spoiling.

Great stuff from, BOG and he will only get better and better and with the inclusions of Frawley, things are turning out pretty well.

Though i reckon the biz is pretty influential to helping bell develop his game, the biz is a very creative player and i am sure bell will learn a lot from him.

Where are all you 'Belly will never make it' posters now?????

Stand up and take your [censored] medicine!!

Steady on Brocky..after such a great game I can see how its tempting to shoot off like that ( no offence meant). But 'The coming of Bell' has tested the patience/faith (or whatever you will) of even the most hardened of our supporters. Ease up.

I hope and reckon he can keep getting better...I have seen him building up to this moment all year. For me its one of the few positives that has come out of the season so far.

i'll eat some humble pie after bell's performance today, and i'll enjoy every bite. i said he had a long way to go after a poor performance against west coast, and hopfully he is much closer than i thought he was. todays performance was excellent and i look forward to him playing games like today more consistantly.

Alan, you have been here for 5 minutes, don't tell me what to do. The amount of crap Bell has got around here has been horrendus, those posters need to stand up and say they were wrong.

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
