Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.


MRP for Hogan and Lewis


Diamond_Jim

Recommended Posts

An intentional strike to the head with low impact is a two week ban, down to one with a guilty plea.

IMO there is far too insufficient evidence for Lewis to go. Cripps played on without any issue (I don't think, anyway) so unless he has a crack at Lewis, how can anyone know exactly what he did (e.g. was it an open palm or a fist, where exactly did it hit him, etc.). 

Hogan I'm less confident on. I'm not sure he can escape it being intentional or to the head, which is the end of the debate even if it's low impact. Looked to me like Rowe milked it but I'm not confident the MRP will consider it anything other than intentional or to the head.

Dear me, the way you went on about Vince last week and now in these circumstances.

Hogan's aggression can be very frustrating to watch. He needs to learn how to control and harness it.

At one point today he missed a mark and Weideman mopped it up and kicked a goal. As Weideman went to high-five Hogan, he shoved him in the chest - presumably out of frustration for missing the mark. For a split second I chuckled, then found myself infuriated he did it to a teammate, especially a second year player.

He needs to learn how to cool his aggression and focus. Viney did it a few years ago, he's stated it in several interviews, and his game went to a new level.

If I'm thinking about the same goal (fourth quarter), I saw Hogan congratulating Weideman, not berating him.

Ignition you are being harsh on Hogan here. Hogan had a smile on his face when he gave a big shove to Weid. He was pretty excited for him and in no way did i see that as someone venting his frustration at a teamate.

Yeah it was the fourth quarter one. 

I haven't seen it since the game. Imay have got it on the wrong angel. I hope you're right. I'll watch the game again tomorrow.

That would explain it. Sorry I saw it from the other end of the ground and didn't see Hogan's face. I retract my comment.

You would actually be a prime candidate as an MRP adjudicater.

I was vocal because he is a repeated offender time and time again and missing crucial games like today is not ideal. Bernie was missed today.

Get your facts right before talking trash.

 

So basically what you're saying, is that it is ok to throw a stupid hit off the ball and run the risk of a suspension, just so long as it's your first offence?

And I'm the one talking 'trash'??

 

Lewis is as much of a leader as Vince is. If Vince should've known better last week, then Lewis should've known better today. Repeat offender or not.

Good poster is DD36 but when it comes to discussion about this type of stuff he fails miserably.

I have gone back and watched the footage and i first have to say apologies to Clint Biz but i think Hogan is in trouble now. When i saw it on tv it looked like he just pushed him with an open palm with a bit of force. 

I still think Jordan Lewis has nothing to worry about. The footage is actually quite poor but i personally  think Cripps milked it. Didn't go off the ground and kept playing. Unlike Wright last week who went off for a 20 minute concussion test.

Reading this thread i have no idea what will happen! :)

I'm sure the MRP have a spinning wheel which decides the penalty, so they won't know either until the wheel stops

^ It matters little whether the oppo player milked it or not..

If you hit a player in the head with enough force, you're going to cop a week.

Pretty simple.

If thats whats interpreted the how did Casboult only got a fine for his hit on Vlaustin who also was hit head first.

Casboult went to block a player, something that is legal to do in the game. He hit body on body as well as some contact to the head. His intent was to block the player.

Hogan and Lewis have no argument other than how forceful the contact was. The intent is a non-argument. Unless you think they were fly-swatting? Hogan is definitely gone, Lewis might get lucky. 

They are completely different to Casboults bump.

The Lewis hit looked like it had nothing in it. Cripps got up ok but Jordy's bad record is his only concern

Haven't got a lot to defend Hogan. Looked like the Viney punch from last year and will get a week

Hogan one week. That's how they're treating head contact. Lewis I can't see enough. If they find a different angle and you see a clear pure shot to the head, same thing. But seems to me it wasn't that from an early look.

Who cares. Give them both a week, bring Pederson in to go around belting everyone next week just to send the marshmallows on here into absolute meltdown.

When I first saw the Hogan one I thought he got Rowe in the neck, and Rowe took a dive, but after watching it on tv I think Hogan will miss a week. I don't think Rowe took a dive either unfortunately.

Pederson to play next week.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
