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.

It looked a lot worse from the back than from the behind the goals camera.  From behind it looked like he ran JJ right into the post.  Other angle shows him push him in the back causing JJ to crash headfirst into the post.  Perhaps not that much difference, but it could be the difference between deliberate and careless.  Either way, it's significant impact to the head, so if they decide he's liable he should be gone for a couple of weeks.

Just had a look at the walker hit it's an interesting 1, he chose to bump would be same if he bumped him into a fence it's dangerous and I think Tex is in trouble that had the potential of being very nasty, broken neck nasty 

was thinking the same

fascinating that the commentators made no comment

They did make a comment and it might surprise that it was a particularly stupid one.

Don't remember if it was Taylor or Carey but they said he was trying to shepherd the ball through for a goal...

The strange thing was that the ball was already through before he touched JJ.

Dogs won the flag and deserved it, but they are no powerhouse thats for sure.  Hard to see them making the finals from here, they look a disjointed mess.

They are cooked well and truly

Bulldogs have four very winnable games in the next few weeks:

Carlton, Suns, Bombers and Lions .... will decide their finals race ... but not out of it

Nup. they're gone. Just woeful in the second half. Very similar to our game against them actually. Reasonably competitive to half time time then folded like a pack of cards. Something is crook in Tillabruk.

Fox Footy on Tex's dirty push: Just a weird accident, nothing to see here, deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Anyone who doesn't think the media has a clear agenda to protect certain players is kidding themselves. This will be conveniently forgotten with haste.

Tex Walker deserves at least 2 weeks for that, was so dangerous and he knew exactly what he was doing.

Watch the AFL let him walk as if nothing happened.

Unduly rough play. One week reduced to nothing, cause they're playing Melbourne next week.

The damning part of this footage is the way JJ's body bends as he's pushed.  He clearly put a lot of force into that shove.

He shouldn't be suspended for that and his intention was to shepherd the ball, no send Johanasen into the goal post. if that happened up the ground it would not even be a free kick. Plus he was back on the ground 5 minutes later anyway.

Lets be honest. Not worthy of a suspension and we'd have a 20 page thread if a Dee got outed for that. FCS some of you are embarrassing and certainly don't watch matches openly

So is anyone else going for the pies today or is it just me? I really really want them to beat essenscum. I want them to lose so it will decrease there chances of making the 8. We are 2 games clear of them and 3 games clear of the pies so we can affored the pies to win. 

Plus Im sick of seeing Bucks in the news everytime they lose. 

The dogs last night, if they kicked straight it would have been a different story. Sure they still would have lost but it wouldnt have been as bad. The hawks didnt back up in 2009 and the dogs do have a pretty easy 4 weeks. They just need to work out there best 22. They do make a lot of changes each week. 

Oh and Tex will be fine. JJ wasnt fully concussed. I want Tex rubbed out but only because we are playing them, otherwise I would be saying no way should he get suspended. But gee scary to play the crows after last night. I forgot how tall there forward line is.

Sort of agree with you

But

the AFL is saying the head is sacrosanct and must do due to concussion issues. Therefore any head contact deliberate or accidental that causes head injury must be penalised.

It seems Tex action was late and dangerous. If on any other part of ground not so dangerous but a player could strike the ground with their head from such a legitimate and deliberate tackle. 

We have seen some erratic actions and decisions on contact to the head so I think we are all pretty open about the issue.

The recent ignoring of the strike to Clayton jaw and the Selwood incident shows the difference applied to individual incidents. This incident will just add to the inconsistency.

The AFL must support its "sacrosanct" statements with a meaningful minimum penalty irrespective of subjective analysis. Not likely to happen so see Tex playing next week.

Only a fool would want Essndrug to win.  If they lose their season is over and its one less challenger for a spot in the 8. 

Richmond beating St Kilda would be great for us too.

    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
