    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.

Ripper day - 18 marks - the most a Melbourne player has ever taken.

Here's hoping he puts in as stellar effort next week.

wow what a game by greenie!

some might say that many of those possessions were uncontested, but the point is that if you're going to have uncontested possessions, then make them damaging possessions...today he certainly influenced the game and was best on ground by far! 2 heroic marks really inspired the team, his kicking into the forward line was terrific.

great all round game from him today

Greeny did everything today, was really good when the heat was on in the last 15 minutes.

Only complaint from me was he didnt snag the 1st goal!

I had him in the cheersquad comp.

I salute you today Greeny you where exceptional.

Most certainly if not Brock, then Green as our next captain.

He was inspirational last year when captaining the side as well.

I agreed with this when (I think) Jaded brought it up last year as well.......

We all think that McLean will probably be the next captain, but is he actually ready, physically or mentally, to take that particular mantel yet?

I don't know and neither do we. But at the very least there has to be another option, and Brad Green could well be it.

To me when he plays like this Green has always given a very clear indication of being able to take that next step. Of course we all want him to play like this a hell of a lot more often, but he was brilliant and inspirational today and his presence was everywhere. And his field kicking looked pretty damn accurate as well.

Well done Brad, a game definitely worth savouring :D !!!

Those 2 marks today should put to bed some misguided thoughts that Green is soft. He clearly goes when it is his turn.

But honestly you have to wonder just how it is that this furfy is still doing the rounds. He is anything but and those marks were fantastic.

Walls actually said at some point after one of the other commentators mentioned the article and the fact that maybe he fired them up, that maybe now their (Green, Bruce and Johnstone) trade value's was now in the order of a first round pick. The conversation was very short and sharp though.

Yer his trade value juet went up for all those who want to trade him...

well done greenie...

maybe this week we can find somone else to trade

As for some of us feeling the need to trade someone new this week.....

There will always be someone to kick the hell out of, and if not then there are those around here who will just go and find someone.

The only captain in recent times I can recall who was that young was Wayne Carey and I agree that it would be a bit much to expect Brock to captain a side that early. I would expect that Neitz is almost certain still to be captain next year but name Brock as Vice-Captain as have a real leadership structure. This idea of the players voting in a leadership group each year obviously isn't working because half the group each year get replaced when others have a good year.

He's finally stepped up to the plate & delivered. Where have you been all this time Brad. Don't go hiding again after this, the fans now know what standard you can deliver at & should expect nor tolerate anything less from you.

The other way around mate, if they can play like that then ask yourself why have'nt they. It's no use having players who can play, but don't put in. WHY? If they don't keep up this higher standard to which they're capable, then they should go & we'll find others who'll put in for the club.

Good grief, can't we just congratulate our guys for standing up in yesterdays match, without sending them packing in the same breath?

Lets just remember guys that one hot day doesn't make a summer. lets no get to ahead ourselves.

But let me just say that bulletins i have posted and supporters agreed on in recent weeks in regards to player roles were finally put into place yesterday with great sucess.

Green as a loose man across half back in a Goddard roll

Bate at CHF (Bate will be a better version of Ryan O'Keefe)

And sespite not as good as last week Biz back in our defence. Absolutley awesome early before making a couple errors late.

And how good was Bell. Havent seen a Melb defender dominate a dangerous defender like that in years. Welsh wasnt given an inch. AWESOME WORK BELLY.....

I'm with you Y_M. Sure it was a great game for both he and Bruce. But it's only 1 game. Sure give credit where credit's due, but let's not forget we are 1-9. Hopefully both string a few good games together now. Coz we should not be in the bottom 8 and lets not be weak and blame injuries.

After 1 game we are singing their praises and calling for them to be captain, and whilst they deserve their praise this week, many games this season they didn't play like they were leaders of our club.

Whilst so many are so widely applauding Bruce and Green's efforts, lets send out a huge cheerio to Danners as well. Well done Neale. I mean Bruce and Green are being suggested as Neita's heir in this thread. So it's only fitting for me, going with the trend of this thread, to suggest that Daniher be offered a 3-year extension on his contract. Thoroughly deserved Neale.

With the injuries we have had there is no way in hell we should be in the top 8. Anyone who believes that we should, is in fairy land. With the comp being so even, you lose 5 of your best 10, you will lose 9 out of 10. That said we should have been more competitive in some of the games, as we should be 4-6 because all of those close games we had a very good chance to win, and a bit of poise and leadership we would have won.

As for Bruce, well he would be leader our b&f this year just in front of bell, he has been our best player, so he has 'strung a few games together', and had some of his mates been up and running e.g. the bloke who was licking the pres' face at the brownlow last year, we might just be in a better position.

anyone who thinks that was a one off from bruce knows nothing about football and certainly hasnt watched our first 10 rounds...

he has done that every week, though in previous weeks he has not had support.

green too has been pretty good this season without setting the world on fire... green perhaps should dominate games more though

    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
