    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.

Godfrey-Was Rarely Seen

Neither was his opponent. Did a brilliant job on Mr. Scott Thompson.

Bell- hope

McLean- hope

Jones- hope

Bate- hope

Petterd- hope

Sylvia- hope

We are going places if these guys are leading us every week.

I saw Brock stand on the boundary line and curse in anger when the Crows kicked a goal in the third. That sort of passion from our players, is what will get us moving forward.

Godfrey-Was Rarely Seen

Can't believe im going to stick up for godfrey here but the less we see Godfrey the better...

He absolutley smashed Scott Thompson..

And how good was it to see every time Thomposon (Demon traitor) get smashed by tackels every time he got close to the ball.

Fantastic effort!!!!!!!

Daniel Ward - Very very sufficient

His kicking yesterday was worse than usual... although he is becoming slightly more accountable, which is nice to see.

Still, the kicking is really REALLY awful stuff.

I watched the replay this morning expecting to bag Ward for all his turnovers, however there weren't actually that many. It felt like more while at the game.

Creates great drive and pace out of defence but accountability is the problem.

Undecided whether he's best 22.

Been the crazy person that I am, went to the game, taped it, came home and watched it, people who didnt look like they were performing actually were doing little useful thing around the ground eg Ward, Sylvia

Brown - can kick and was everywhere he needed to be. Helped push forward at times did great work

Carroll - back to form

Bizzell - welcome back had some rough calls against him by the umps though

Bell - flawless

Wheatley - another welcome back (another risk pays off for ND)

Ward - costly errors in last quarter, good for three quarters though

Johnstone - not at his best, sharp kicking

McDonald - always one of our best no exception this week

Robertson - not at his best, needs a few more games to get back into it, magic goal though

Neitz - LEGEND

White - killed the ruck, was everywhere played excellent couldnt find a fault

McLean - not at his best, needs more games like Robbo to play his best

Davey - superstar every week

Johnson - impressed me solid performance

Jones - hard nut (clearly the umpires dont think he has a neck though he got so many high tackles was crap)

Petterd - improving every week

Anyone who watched him at Sandy knew he'll make it.

I think ppl have underestimate what a great game he had yesterday. The Jones Mclean/Brock Jones show is underway.

godfrey pasted his opposition player all day. did his job perfectly. what more did you guys want. He is never gunna dash from the backline and smash through the midfield but he did Dominate in his position. Underrated performance. Brilliant game Godders. (not usually a fan of his but i'm calling this game as i saw it)

imo he is not best 22. however he is a decent depth player who runs hard and breaks the lines and does offer us that element of pace we lack. if we have our best 23 fit and firing he wont be on the park. but we'll always ahve an injury or 2 so he will be always getting a few games. in all honestly i rather his poor but quick disposal than doggy brown stopping and propping and allowing the opposition to match up, but today brown had a job and did it well.

You should watch the last quarter again more closely. He did not hit one target by hand or by foot when he had pressure applied to him. He also did not contest with Welsh in a marking contest which resulted in a goal.

Its all great to say he didnt cough up his uncontested possesions but he is absolute liability IMO.

    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

    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
