  • 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.

ah huh...agree.... u wont make any friends by posting this, but it is quite... true...

tho he was one of our best today, and good to see he is back playin good footy

the people i sat next too also agreed, but its not about saying im right and someone else is wrong, it is purely my opinion, its also not about making or not making friends, its about what the MFC club means to me and all of its members. in any aspect of life you have to reflect on your actions and be able to aceept feedback. we all want success for this club. Brock did play well today but i thought he could of done some things differentally. ND said he gave Robbo a dreessing down during the week, look how he responded.

Brock is a star. I love watching him play, especially alongside Jones.

He had a good game today, and was unlucky with that free for throwing the ball down, and then the 50 for arguing. He lead well as always. When we were 3 points up, being over-run, it was Brock who lifted and had a big last quarter and was directing our players around the ground.

We've got some great young talent for the future.

Brock and Jones in midfield. Bate and Sylvia across half forward. Bell and Petterd across half back.

What we need now is to fill the 2 last lines with the KPP...

He is a star.

Pure and simply the best leader, hardest worker and toughest footballer we have at this club.

He leads by example and he MUST be our next captain.

His workrate today was something to marvel at. He was making 50m leads every time, when everyone else stood still.

Brocky, you are a pleasure to watch in the red & blue and you make me so happy to be a Melbourne supporter!

Love Brocky as much as anyone but I think you are being a bit harsh on other players saying he was the only one making leads when everyone else stood still. Wheats, Sylvia, PJ and even an injured Neita ran hard towards the end to present. And don't underestimate Brad Green's tackle on "neon leon" in the last qtr or his great pack mark! A really great team effort!!!!!

Straight from the collingwood forums:

Subject: emcguire - go sign up Brock Mclean

IMHO, he will be AFL MVP several times before his career finishes."

Anyone got a link to that thread?

Was the tanty directed at Holland thats what I want to know. I think it was and I find it disappointing

Get over it!

The 'tanty', was in fact a show of frustration because he didn't mark it and the ball bounced out after all of his hard work to present and chase.

He got annoyed because he cares, and it kills him when he doesn't win a contest, or a possession. It's called being a winner.

Dont touch the moderators favourite player apparently

This has nothing to do with me being a moderator, or whether I like Brock McLean.

You really haven't been here long enough to judge my comments.

If Bruce, Ward, Jones, Godfrey or whoever did what Brock did, I would say the same thing.

Showing passion is not a crime, and in fact sometimes we really lack that at Melbourne.

I wish we had more players who hated losing as much as this guy does.

Yup spot on, I have my eyes purely set on Brock sometimes and not on the paly just because it's fasinating to watch him go about it. And he really shows some fire or passion when somebody stuffs up, including himself. Just have a look at the way he punches the ground after he missed that goal on the run, he bleeds for this club, seriously...

At least "the moderators" favorite player is her favorite player because of his skill level and not how hawt he is. :rolleyes:

Getting a little bit narky isn't it... ;)

I like it when when a team leader gives it to another senior player for dropping below the standard expected. Would have been different it he had a go at Petterd or Frawley but it wasn't. Good to see he put his hand up for the undisciplined 50 as well. Shows he can take responsibility as well as demand it.

    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
