  • 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.


Match Review Panel - Sylvia 3 Weeks

That does seem inconsistent in your terms Cards. Good point mate.

In my terms?

It just makes no sense, the new system I mean HT. THis was designed to have more certainty around penalties for similar infractions yet a headbutt gets one week (with good behaviour haha + early plea) yet, I have seen no clear vision of it yet, Hi-Ho's looks like a "strike" of some kind and he gets 3 weeks... where is the consistancy in that?

Bad news.

This from the article made me laugh a little though.

"Brennan’s original penalty was three matches that could be reduced to two because of his five-year food record."

Wonder is col would have got 2 weeks if he had a five-year food record hehe.

ha ha

Brennan had the 5 year good record to reduce it to 2 then an early plea gives him 1 week.. Sylvia has no such option for an early plea it is a straight 3 weeks... que???

yeah, I meant the way you put it, in your words. You are clearly pointing out that there seems to be no consistency.

Sylvia got 325(?) demerit points with an extra 93 points hanging overhead - 25% discount for early plea leaves 3 weeks

Was lucky not to get more! Big round house to the head.. Not good Col

Hmm! Saw it earlier on One Week at a Time on OneHD. They played the whole incident and it was very ordinary. Extremely lucky to only get 3 weeks. Robert Walls made the comment that he would have been happier with 6!! It looked awful and was really dumb!

Very lucky. It was the Colin of old. PULL YOUR HEAD COLIN. I didn't see the incident live but I saw it on one week at a time on one and it was just crazy stuff. IT'S NOT THE 80'S ANYMORE COLIN.

What are you on about? It was not even that bad. He just tried to slap / round arm him over the back of the head.

He has all done us a favour. Carries our team each week does that boy and without him the PP are ours. :wub: ohhh and Jack

Best year to do it and it sends the message that we aren't going to lie down and cop a kicking anymore. First you get hated, then you get feared, then you get the flag.

I saw the Sylvia one live, it pains me to say that it deserves every bit of three weeks. It was plain stupid.

Absolutely.

I cant believe the naivety of those posters welcoming the suspension to get the PP.

A player has just put a real black mark to his name by act that was brainless and crude.

Nothing to celebrate there.

Sylvia at his best is extremely important to us. He cant afford another lapse of concentration as future penalties are going to be harsh.

Expecting more from Colin as I am still remembering the 60 metre goal on Saturday.

By hitting a player off the play???

Gutsy stuff that and it will really gain us respect.

How about first we win the contested ball and then the hate and the fear will come.

Sylvia sent a bigger message when he took that brave mark against Collingwood and in the contest contact put Maxwell physically out of commission. Thats making a statement that makes teams notice.

Not the sniping cheap stuff he got suspended for.

Absolute moronic/stupid act.

He wasn't hard done by. He got his just desserts.

Time to grow up young Col.

Want to be a part of the future? Grow up.

LOL.

He is a certain part of the clubs future.

I dont care if he microwaves a kitten.

The guy is a gun.

    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,
