    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.

The real shame is that Wojcinski will likely retire at the end of the season, and we'll never get to see them play against each other again.

A real shame.

Well Ive just seen the Viney incident on Before the Game, looked worse than I remembered at the game, agreed Wojo is gone. Of the Demons players: Blease - great last half where his running to space

My observations from the game (watched from the 20 minute mark off the 1st quarter) Jack Viney will be a star for the club. It was a sickening collision in front of us well into the 4th quarter. Woul

Do VFL penalties, for AFL listed players, apply to AFL games?

Yes

Referred straight to the tribunal usually means that they 'view it seriously' though the inconsistencies are so gross that anything at all could happen, or nothing.

Wojcinski's bump to Viney has been refered straight to the tribunal and he has been offered a week for the hit to the jaw.

So let me get this straight- Viney gets smashed in a wreckless bump, gets a broken jaw and is out for 6 weeks whilst having to eat his dinner through a straw and Woj gets 1 week- yet Dangerfield gets mild concussion in a Trengove tackle, plays the next week and Trengove gets a 3 week suspension?

This is the biggest load of [censored] I have ever heard!!!

You didn't read the post correctly.

He is suspended for 1 week for the punch and is about to go to the tribunal for the bump - where he will get life, or possible execution via Todd's mum.

Take a bow Wojo. Punching an 18 year old in the head and breaking his jaw in a seperate incident. You big, heroic brave man. What a disgrace!

17 year old, and I know a good dentist.

Who cares what he gets at tribunal? Are we that soft a club (supporters) that we throw a hissy fit because our player got a heavy hit? Pretty sure Jack Viney would say thats footy and move on. So should we. We need to toughen up.

Lets hope Jack Viney is doing the same thing to a debutaunt in a few years time!

They actually showed the incident on AFL360 on Fox, and it was how I remembered it. Gawn (not Max). Note it is different to the bump then punch footage that had been on the news...

Watched it a few times, for my money Wojo lifted his elbow slightly into Viney's head as he was running past Viney-looks more than reckless - 6 weeks at least

The punch is one week.

The bump has to be pretty minor otherwise footy isn't a mans game.

Wojo should go as the rule is now if you hit a player high with a bumb you've deliberately not tackled and therefore you are up for 1 week. I'd add a second due to the force.

But really we should all get over it. If wojo got 0 or 10 weeks it makes no difference to us. No one is complaining about whoever broke Gysberts (or Wade Lees for that point) jaw.

Have you seen the footage? It was more bad luck on Jacks part than anything malicious from Woj. It was just a good hard hip and shoulder, may get a week or 2 because it was slightly high, but probably just the fact that Viney is so small. I will be VERY happy if Viney is laying bumps like that. Describing it as a cheap shot is just plain wrong. Per haps you were referring to the punch that he copped a week for?

I don't give a damn what he gets, 0-10, I just reckon he took a sniper shot, not just a bump which I'm all for, calling it like i see it is all, personally I'm super rapt with Viney, I didn't believe till this week that he'd be much, now I believe and that makes me very happy. And I reckon if there is a round two Wojo will be the loser, I cannot remember a 17yo being so in your face before, especially a ompaloompa like Viney. Apparently he got told to tackle softer in the school comp he plays in, much to like and I'm on the viney bandwagon and happy for a first round Draft Pick.

Viney is 176 cm and is a tank in the making. Wojo is 180cm and on the move. Viney is hardly small??. Its not an issue of malice but a charge of reckless. And its hardly a good hip and shoulder if Wojo get a couple of weeks.

I think you are misguided if you think Viney should be doing that. I cant think why Wojo did not actually try and tackle Jack in expectation of the ball getting to Viney.

If a hip and shoulder makes contact with the head and results in a broken jaw...its a cheap and reckless hit. Lets see how the AFL tribunal values it.

Unfortunately they won't......but the VFL tribunal will :)

The head is sacrosanct. It's that simple.

Wojcinski had a duty of care to Viney, that if he had the option to tackle he should, and if he decides to bump, that he must ensure he doesn't make head high contact.

He did, so he goes.

Well Garry Lyon must be misguided too. Most of the 'experts' who saw the footage agreed that it was a little reckless but not malicious.

I hate that our supports are such a pack of nancy snobs

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
