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.

This will be forgotten in 24 hours.  Oliver has already moved on by the look of it, and so should we.

Yeah, you're right. Nobody thinks he's a stager any more, because "just moving on" worked so well the last time.

For a poster whose opinion I respect, you've gone off the deep end with this one, Akum.  The 'staging' incident and this one are totally different and will be treated, and remembered, as such.

Go and look at the vision again as well.  Your idea of 'shoved' is pretty warped.

He"s a Madonna fan as well as being an attention seeking ugly [censored].

Thats why he's so totally hateable.

The club can move on but I need some time to abuse this poor excuse for a man.

Very funny

The ironic thing about the diving thing is that Vince did one of the lamest, most blatant stages I've ever seen, in a period of the game where there was actually something to gain by doing it, and I literally have not seen or heard it mentioned anywhere. I suppose nobody actually punched him in the face, so there's no actual crime we can blame him for.

That's why I can understand the view of others who would like to see the club publicly back Oliver at some stage. His poor reputation is being allowed to snowball out of control, over stupid things, It's getting ridiculous.

I find this totally absurd. An idiot fan is allowed to shout abuse into the face of a kid, then he gets sensitive about some 'feedback' and the problem is the reaction of the kid who was manhandled and abused.

It's like the absurdity of the Schofield situation. Schofield delivers an elbow to Oliver's jaw and the issue metamorphosis's into the question did Oliver 'dive'.

How do you profile a bloke like that?

  • Lives with mum
  • Enjoys Froot Loops with warm milk for breakfast
  • Waxes his whole body
  • Ambidextrous.....which is starting to cause vision problems
  • Wears a nightie to bed
  • 10 more girlfriends and he'll reach double figures
  • Has one of those single beds shaped like a racing car
  • Never played football in his life
  • Highlight of the week is sipping cocoa with mum and watching Coronation Street
  • Maintains a collection of ancient Playboy magazines under his bed which now cannot be opened......

Lives in a commune at an MCG seating section and contributes thousands of dollars to the MFC

Shoved?  Laughable.  Surely you don't believe he was shoved...?  I've seen the vision numerous times and at no stage have I thought he was shoved.

And how do we know it hasn't been tolerated?  How do we know that the wheels aren't turning behind closed doors and there will be further outcomes from this?  Right now, we don't.  The best thing for the club to do is to get on the front foot and get passed it as quickly as we can.

The club can kick, scream, yell and do whatever... but it means little and won't change a thing.  And our players are never hung out to dry - just watch the Goodwin presser from the weekend to see the standards and culture he wants to drive and you'll have zero doubt that we're in good hands.

OK, so now it matters how hard the contact was? Was "incidental"??

And how do we know it hasn't been tolerated? First, because there's no evidence for it. Because there's no reason for the AFL to do anything about it now that any possible PR fallout has been "managed". And because nothing ever changes for the AFL unless they're held to account for it in public. And because "getting past it" or "just moving on" has done absolutely nothing for us this season.

And when did I say that the club can "kick, scream, yell" and so on? How about a simple but firm statement about players being contacted by spectators during the game is not acceptable? Nobody actually said that yet. In fact, Goody said they'd look at it before commenting, but their silence is eloquent.

Yeah, Goody's presser was great, and today the club (not the coach) had a great opportunity to back up Goody's words with acts, but we just don't have the 'nads for it.

We all know who he is, and what a facewad of come he is.  Punishment enough.  He looks like a filthy kiddy fiddler with a Madonna fixation.  She wrote 'like a virgin for you, sweetheart?

and Clarrie - learn to ignore these idiots.  In your 2018 or 2019 Brownlow acceptance speech, acknowledge 'some loser at a Carlton game' for firing up 35 games of 3 votes in a row.

note he didn't apologise to mummy's boy.  He apologised for letting the team down by taking gloss off the win.  Perfect!

He'll let his football do the talking and his reputation will be just fine.

Alternatively, the club or any other individual speaks for him at this 'grave injustice' and the target on his back becomes bigger again.

I think it's been nipped in the bud in a timely manner.

This situation will pop up again at the next Carlton game at the G. Wonder if those seats were not available at all for the rest of Carlton's "G" Games? What a pity.........

I'm pretty angry about this.

The Carlton coward has a crack at Oliver and then didn't like copping a response. What did he say, "touch me again and I'll kill you" - what, we all worry that Oliver would jump the fence and attack him? It's an admittedly aggressive response to a fl*g being aggressive towards him but it's wasn't racist, it wasn't sexist, it wasn't homophobic, and it was in response to being unnecessarily pushed/touched/shoved.

I see no reason for Oliver to have to apologise which implies the coward deserved an apology of any kind.

Wasn't it Carlton supporters a few years back smashing on the back of the oppositions bench desperate to attack an opposition player? This mob are ferals and have now been given a free pass, or that's how they'll see it. When next we meet them I can almost guarantee it will be ugly, and the blues banner will almost certainly incite them.

This is poor, poor form from the AFL.

Typical gutless pretty boy Gil stuff.

Great post and magnificent vitriol in your first paragraph. "Facewad of come"???

And para 3 puts a different thought in my mind, which I hadn't appreciated until you pointed it out.    He didn't actually say sorry to the scumbag at all. 

Still, pathetic that the AFL has done nothing about Mr F of C. 

PS spell check - come or cum?

Come on Wiseblood, this is garbage. A number of times this year, the club has absolutely squibbed it in standing up for its players. This is by far the worst example,unless we're going to pay the moron compensation and take it out of Clarrie's match payments. For the second time in a few weeks, they've completely hung Clarrie out to dry without a peep. It's out and out pathetic.

Player pushed towards the fence gets shoved by a spectator. And that's OK? Every other club in the AFL - in fact, every sporting club in Australia - wouldn't tolerate their player being manhandled by a spectator in the course of the game.

I'm sorry but this is absolutely correct. Clarrys momentum took him to the fence as par the course of the game. The moron stood up and clearly pushed him back....it doesn't matter how hard or soft it was. Its unacceptable that a fan can have any physical contact with a player.

Oliver didn't apologise to the Catlton supporter. He apologised to his team mates for detracting from the win.

No coincidence, that one.

As for the Fairfax article with this [censored] accepting Clayton's apology? Only worth a read if you need any further evidence that journalism in this country has sunk beneath the gutter.

    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
