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.


Oliver is no 'stager'!

"...vision of Schofield making contact with Oliver's jaw, combined with the strong medical report from the Demons, led the MRP to deem the strike as intentional with low impact to the head... The decision to sanction Schofield by definition rules out any possibility for the MRP to claim that Oliver was staging."

At last the MRP see sense!

but......"strong medical report" and "low impact" don't exactly gel

i wonder if "strong medical report" is just a bit of reporter's colouring. strong is a strange word to use here.

Demon 77 just ask your Essesendon lot to recall the 2000 GF and look at how their players go about business. Do not back down. I would have let fly as well. Demon supporters and the club will no longer be bullied. Attacking you at work for supporting a team is bullying and unacceptable. You now feel how Clarrry is feeling. The victim is apparently at fault. Go Dees

Was listening to robbo on sen podcast, he had clarry in his dislikes and a caller rang up and said watch boxing as you can cop just a glancing blow on your chin and it can stun you to the point of falling over, it sort of changed Robbos mind on it, I bet he goes into bat for clarry on afl360 tonight bookmark it

Spot on.  If you get hit on the point of the chin laterally it doesn't take a heap of force to take you down.

Clayton changed his profile photo on twitter that clearly shows the elbow connecting with his chin.

https://twitter.com/claytonoliver16?lang=en

I reckon he regrets posting to Damien Martyn as I think he's been copping tons of posts his way, so he felt the need to put up the photo to justify himself further. But surely now that a decision has been made by MRP everyone can move on

Schofield gets 2 down to 1.  Deemed intentional.  The right call IMV.

So rubbish to all the media who tried to make it a Clayton story!

Only fair given Lewis and Hogan both got multiple weeks.

Nothing original to add here, but I just wanted to say that - after watching him being interviewed on Saturday night - his composure in the face of those smirking dinosaurs -  and thinking about how he's played this year - I just love this guy.  I still can't get that picture of him in the Richmond game out of my head - the one where he's up to his neck in a rolling scrum and somehow gets the ball out to Jeffy - brilliant. How could they - and even some of you on this thread - think for a second he's a diver?

Love both Jonesy and Viney, but this kid's a freak.

We probably were strong in suggesting that contact was 100% made to Oliver's jaw that needed medical attention to clear Oliver of any serious damage as he was in pain and bleeding. The impact was low, but it was there!

An Essendon supporter greeted me at work this morning by telling me Oliver needs to take a good hard look at himself.

That caused the first twitch in my eye, I returned serve with the points you stated, Schofield being the real issue here and I couldn't care less if Oliver dived or did not. 

His next response was, nah mate Schofield only did what Jones, Viney and Bugg have been doing all year. Well, that was enough for both eyes to start twitching, I had to stop my task immediately before a verbal spat ignited, found the smoking balcony and sucked down a quick Winnie Blue whilst jumping on Demonland to calm down.

 

 

Just to take this a little further. Is this MFC GOOD ball player so good and so brave, and so much in Brownlow Medal contention that he is, much like two certain Geelong players, getting picked on on because of that very reason. I guess what i am saying is, like his counterparts from the Cats, he deserves, and it is about bloody time he received,the same degree of protection by the Umpires and indeed the support of the AFL, MRP, whoever.....  

Do we have to wait otherwise until all ball players are seriously injured before the penny drops!!!!!!

Perhaps a word from the right level of seniority within the AFL to the media could sort this out....

Give your workmate a copy of the MRP outcome showing Clarry didnt stage .

Then give him a summary of the WADA hearing.

Then hand him a Syringe

Then laugh in his face.

Yep. As i suggested earlier... there's a jolly good reason boxers like to land one across a chin !!

Should have just put a little elbow on his chin and seen what his reaction was!

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
