    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.

Its a good result given they beat Sandy at TBO last time. And Sandy had a weaker side this time at least on paper than when they last played.

Its disappointing that Some MFC listed players did not feature more in the best. Not a good sign at all for a couple of players.

how about millers 3 goals? might be needed next week,........

To do what??

So a player fails to catch the attention of the official that picks the best players.... all of a sudden that isn't a good sign? 1 bad game?

You're very ordinary indeed, Champ.

Good to hear Buckley played well. I've recently become friends with someone who's been friends with him since they were kids, and she says he lives and breathes footy. Was a die-hard Melb supporter, and has made playing in the red n blue his life. Apparently he is insanely hardcore compulsive about it, doesnt go out pubbing etc, and trains himself into the ground, whether with the team or on his own. Was sad not to be playing this weekend, but will continue to work his ass off to be able to pull on the red n blue. It's always good to hear about players who have a real passion and pride for the jumper :)

I was at the game and you can take it from me that irrespective of the official best players, Simon Buckley was easily the best player on the ground. So when the publicity starts about the possibility of a Buckley playing in Friday night's game, the Buckley could be Simon, not Nathan.

Which player is that "Champ"?

For players that are on the MFC fringe, the inability to be prominent in a VFL game is not a good sign especially when for some of them its been consecutive weeks. And its only a sign in the absence of further information.

What is your problem?

I was at the game and simon buckley was clearly best on, it is usually a problem with the best with sandy officials doing the best the tend to put sandy players in over melb ones.

Also did anyone see the 2's and hughes's goal. One of the goals of the year!

Does anyone think guy martyn looks like the zebra mascot? He has a fairly big head and a smallish body lol!

No problem "Champ" but you make such sweeping statements that hold absolutely no water. Instead of " Not good for a bunch of Melbourne listed players not to make the best", name them and how often they have been outside of the best.

I think you also need to assess who actually chooses the "Best" players, several times last year a Melbourne listed player would absolutely dominate a game, yet be overlooked for a Sandy youngster.

Don't take it all on face value, Champ.

It was only reference as a "sign" petal. It was not a sweeping statement. Its not relevant who chooses it. The relevance is the MFC listed player performing and justifying his selection. I dont have to names. But your the one big on your own research. Go do some.

Try Bizzell and CJ for starters. Its now been a number of weeks and they have not apparently dominated at this level. They should be.

BTW, it is not good sign for MFC player not to be prominent in the best. If they are fighting for their careers its not. I dont care who selects it.

G'day Mono, didn't see you there. PJ went ok, did some nice things, Miller went OK, attacked the mark & pack hard on a couple of occaisions. Got the ball plenty but doesn't trust his instincts to use the ball himself. Prefers to dish it off for someone else to use it. I wonder if he's a virgin. Looked to find a little of his aggresion at the ball. Our new coach might be good for him, another year for him. I'm starting to like buckley more, he looks a little more comfortable after a few games in the red & blue but needs to push himself for his own development. Garland is a beauty to my mind, he looks to me like a thinker, a kid who seems to think very calmly on his feet & gives me the impression that he's very conscious of what's happening around him & his place in his world, a master of his own destiny & overseer of his development. He's giving himself the time he needs to learn & grow physically. Watch him over the next 2 years.

    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

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
