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.


Bernie Vince on report


McQueen

Recommended Posts

It's two weeks because of his existing bad record.

Why is anyone surprised? 

He's an idiot who has let his team mates and club down yet again. How many more times?

Who gives a fark about what other players are getting. None of them have the record that Vince has.

Another thing...

When it is clear the MRP are mindless buffoons who make decisions on the fly in line with the current media ageda, why the **** is so much commentary allowed before the MRP makes it decision, effectively throwing the player under the bus?

If commentary about a current case in the court of law is avoided so as not to influence the jury, then why are the media let loose like rabid dogs to effectively protect and condemn as they see fit?

Haven't seen any footy this weekend and haven't seen the Bernie incidents, but all I can say is pathetic from Vince. You are a leader and we are struggling with injuries. What the hell are you thinking?

Dumb, selfish, not good enough.

If that's true, I must revise my accusation that the MRP is insane.  It is totally corrupt.  The AFL sickens me.  Let me count the ways...

I got howled down by some clown last week for saying the league is corrupt, watch any umpiring each week how they try to even up games to make the league look like a success and then this stupid changing of the goal posts with MRP. Its a rort.

"Best Season Ever" they say.......

Why are people so pi$$ed off with the MRP ? He elbowed a bloke in the jaw, forget other incidents. Bernie is a d!ckhead, how many times does he want to do this stupid [censored] ? It's about he's 4 suspension in 18 months. I'm not to fussed anyway, once Salems back Vince should be gone

And Schofield didn't elbow Oliver in the jaw? And I don't care that Vince has been suspended, hes there to lead, hes a clown. But rules don't add up

The hit was graded as intentional conduct with low impact to the head. I don't like that he won't be playing but I don't see how anyone could argue with a straight face that any of these are not the case.

No one should be raising the elbow as the run past so that's the intentional and he plainly got him to the head, the grading of low impact certainly isn't out of line with others this year

It would be pretty hard to argue that his elbow was "insufficient force".

Just a dumb thing to do.

Had no greater impact than Schofields. I would actually argue a slight impact form the point of the elbow to the tip of jaw has greater impact than a glancing forearm across the cheek.

Some people might suggest that the MRP are a hypocritical bunch of overrated has beens who are short of a quid, and think that the best way to get some is to grease their way through an earner by doing what they are told by the AFL and herald scum.Similar to a Nth Korean Court!!!

not really ... against GWS we should be at full strength (save for Jones) and many of the players coming back should be match fit

Alternatively you could argue that we have a much better chance of beating North (history aside) and should do all we can to bank that win rather than think we have a sufficiently greater chance of beating GWS with Vince in.   Couple that with finally taking a stand against the MRP, I'm hot-headed enough to want to appeal.

That said, I agree with all those who say Bernie is an idiot, has let the team down etc.  What I don't agree with is the inconsistency of the MRP, and I'm not basing that on the outcomes of any particular week.  Sure, put the boot into Bernie, but that's not a reason to not put a boot into the MRP.

All incidents are treated in isolation, so forget about player 'X' from another club.  It's irrelevant.  

I thought the elbow was probably a one week penalty, but if his poor record deems it's 2 so be it.

It's called "personal responsibility".

The issue is that the MRP seem to use different parameters for each incident, the Zak Jones one is a perfect case in point.

So if youre Bernie VInce, Jordan Lewis or Jesse Hogan, don't hit anyone or you'll get suspended.

If you're Dustin Martin, you can hit someone and its all good, you will just get a fine.

[censored] the AFL and the MRP, cheating corrupt scum.

I don't think anyone is arguing it wasn't that. The fact remains though that Schofields was also intentional, low impact, and to the head. He wen't to the tribunal and was let off, we should do the same as Bernie's hit had no greater impact than Schofields.

No. It was 2 up to 3 for his record.  

X from another club is not irrelevant.  Feel free to argue that there have been no cases of different penalties for the same offence if you wish, but if there are such blatant cases, it is unjust. Nothing to do with personal responsibility (except that of the MRP and AFL staff who appear to have so little).

The MRP said the incident was "careless" and not "intentional".

Spare me.

I think ProDee is taking the legal standpoint. His comment reminded me that I don't think precedent can count at the tribunal. They look at each case as its own in isolation from what has come before or what will come after. It allows them to easily and justifiably play favourites!

Schofield got off because the AFL couldn't prove that olivers self reported sore jaw couldn't have happened from when he made contact with Schofields spine. I don't think Adelaide have said Eddie had any issues with the contact. Different argument.

He flat out punched him in the head! How that could not be seen as intentional is beyond me, although I guess he wasn't holding chopsticks so its all good (actually its all good even when he is!)

    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
