    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.

Heat on AFL, Ben Holland, Brendan Fevola over wild behaviour

THE AFL is under pressure to ban Mad Mondays after another drunken disgrace left a footballer in trouble.

Melbourne forward Ben Holland was allegedly injured after a scuffle broke out when he tried to help teammate Nathan Carroll into a taxi...

Melbourne football manager Chris Connolly said the club had been working on policy that not only limited players' alcohol intake, but encouraged them to support those who drank too much.

"It's that very situation that might have led to (the incident)," Connolly said.

"I think Ben was trying to encourage Nathan (to go home) when he may have had too much to drink."

Connolly said the club had tried to put an end to the Mad Monday binge sessions.

"My understanding is the behaviour of all the players was outstanding except . . . for the behaviour of Nathan."

Thats all we need as a club, not :angry:

Dissapointing, very dissapointing.

Team mates stick together, they do not fight Chop. He needs to put his dead down and concentrate on football instead of always trying to be a macho man.

Hitting a teamate who is trying to do the right thing by you is very poor form.

This year started badly with alcohol related incidents and it looks like it is going to end the same way. I'm a Carroll fan, but enough is enough. The right thing to do is to delist him and pay out his contract.

swap to freo for warnock? all the bad boys go there, farmer,johnson,carr,tarrant,headland etc

Fremantle would not want Carroll. Especially since they've had him before and got rid of him.

Like I said before, I like "Disco" but he has probably stamped his own ticket.

Don't forget Martin and Rivers.

We have a surplus of key backs for the first time ever. Not a good time for a fringe key back to [censored] up. But then again, that is Carroll's style.

Carroll is a known and avoided serial social problem amongst all other AFL Clubs.

Carroll's brother played for Freo. Any hints why they avoided Nathan like the plague back then?

He had poor off field form then in WA. He is known amongst other Clubs to be someone to avoid socially.

Its does raise a question of judgement over MFC players who choose to socialise with Carroll when alcohol is involved given his habitual incidents.

You are fooling yourself if you think a Club will trade for a delinquent like that.

I know the Club is financially stretched but over the past year Carroll puts a compelling case on and off the field for an early payout of his contract.

I'm not interested in wasting money paying anyone's contract out. We've done enough of that in recent times. Find another resolution.

Carroll wouldn't be on 'Harris' money.

Considering we'll be paying well short of the salary cap next year I'm sure we could afford to pay him out.

Especially consiering a kid on $35,000 will probably take his spot.

The other resolution is keep him on the list.

Would it be a waste of money paying out a bloke DB decides he doesn't want at the club for whatever reason (ability or behaviour)?

Is there a 3 strike behaviour policy in the player's contract?

Surely if there is, he must be on very shaky ground.

I thought his brother played for WCE but i agree with you. CUT him loose. I'll try to find a loophole so we don't have to pay him out but if we can't, just DELIST.

Trent Carroll played at both Freo and West Coast. Nathan was on Freo's rookie list but was discarded and ended up at Melbourne. I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell of him coming anywhere near Freo (we just sacked Farmer, why would we pick up Carroll)

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
