    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.

cracking game from bruce today in both ways - attack and defence.

he was also pretty good last week on brad johnson until he was moved into the midfield. not sure he had the engine to run out a whole game as yet...

he looks to be getting fitter with each game, after his preseason knee injury.

he is a smart footballer and would expect Cam to have a great 2008.

He played well against a side that was far from their best and was very open across the half-back line, which is where is played a majority of the game. I want to see him be out best player when we lose by 100+ points before I re-asses him as our best player.

Good game by Cam which reinforces that fact without an endurance base he is not as effective.

When fit he has elite endurance, but is not an elite on baller. Like Green, I believe he has not been utilised to get the team maximum. Green's mark in the last 1/4 when forward should be the norm, he is not a midfielder FFS!

With a couple of games under his belt he can do a job while hurting the opposition the other way by getting forward and kicking goals.

Give him Shaggers Grant this week and see if he can repeat the effort.

3 goals playing a defensive role on Steve Johnson is a tremendous effort no matter how you look at it. Backing it up in consecutive weeks is where the truth lies.

At this stage I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt by suggesting he is just running hismelf into form. The great Chris Judd did the same thing on Saturday night.

Bruce should be congradulated for the way he has come back after rnd 1. He was good on B.Johnson last week and was excellent on S.Johnson this week, if he keeps this form up he deserves the captaincy. He should play on Jones this week. Bell on Grant and Bartram on Harvey.

I am sick of people bagging Cameron Bruce on hear. He is our next captain and he has my full support.

I love your enthusiasm but they will rip you to shreds for that. Excellent game by Cam, best on ground for Melb in The Age and Sun.

He will be our captain next year, people are dreaming if they think he won't be. McLean, Jones etc are too young

Cam is a good player.

Cam is not a captain.

He should be running our midfield if he is our next captain, and he is playing off a half back flank.

If he can do that well for us then fantastic, but it will be because he cannot get a kick in the middle.

A flanker shouldn't be a captain.

Give it to the bloke who got the handball out, not the one who received it.

Did it ever occur to you that at times Geelong didn't look all that fantastic because we increased defensive pressure and cut off there options as i remember several occasions (3rd qrt?) where geelong had no options and had little run which was fantastic because if you shut down Geelongs midfield then your one big step to winning the game which we where close to doing!! Not saying that every mistake Geelong made was a result of Melbourne's pressure but rather we increased our defensive pressure caused turnovers rebounded and hurt them (Geelong also did this) which is the biggest aspect that any team needs in modern day footy!!

I am a Cam Bruce bagger but i do think his game at Geelong on the Weekend was his best in a couple years...

the bloke may have found his calling down back on a damaging forward.....

However he is still soft and his disposal can often let him down.... He has been stealing money from the club over recent years but lets hope he continues on after this 1 good game and shows something this year.....

He is not alone, but he needs to continue.... For a bloke who is in some peoples opinions one of our best, why hasn't he won a best and fairest!!!!!!

A very interesting observation from a confessed "bagger".

Who is the ONLY player at Melbourne who has finished top ten in the club B&F every year from 2001 to 2007 including two runner ups and not having full seasons. A reasonably fair record I would think.

If that is stealing the club's money what would you describe the other players as doing?

Well spoken 'realist'. I couldn't agree more. Bruce is a class player and gives his all EVERY week. I wish we had more like him.

Ill will be the first to admit that he is not alone.

However let me ask this, Do you think Cameron Bruce is soft? Can his disposal often let him down?

The answers are YES......

Cameron Bruce has had 2 standout games after his Guerra pulled his AC in recent years..... they were a shut down roal on Tarrant on QB a couple years back and last Sunday on a similar role against Steve Johnson.....

Lets not get to excited!!!!

I used to be his number 1 fan years ago, the days when he kicked 7 against Carlton but quite simply the bloke is overpaid.... Again there are plenty of others.....

Even though we must pay 90% of the Cap i think our players worth should only accomadate about 70% of the Salary Cap...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
