  • 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.

Our performance on Saturday night was so anaemic that I'm just wondering where the blood came from?

Nathan Buckley got 1 week for the same offence a few years ago. Would be interesting but not surprising if Howe gets more. Buckley led a charmed life with the tribunal and always got off until this incident. The bio mechanics expert witnesses couldn't help him with this one. Stupid fool Jeremy, why not just wipe some snot on him?

now how many weeks did the current Collingwood coach get when he did this ? ...

Buckley got a week.

Pretty shite form by Howe, what was he thinking. Given the MRP's current form wouldn't be surprised if he went for 2-3.

Although, I'm hoping its a week at best.

Surely wiping blood on shorts (Howe, MFC) is less bad than wiping it on a jumper (Buckley, CFC - 1 week)!!!

I haven't seen the footage, but was it from his face or his hands?? The precedent as I recall was face to jumper.

Sounds like a stupid act though.

FCS what a merde season we are enduring.

Who will take a specie to lift our dwindling spirits now?

Buckley was trying to get rid of a tag - ie get Ling off the ground. Howe sounds like he was just stoopid.

Rubbish.

How the hell would that get rid of a tag, when Buckley himself was being sent off with the blood rule?

There's no distinction between the 2.

Buckley was directed to leave for the blood rule by the umpire during a stoppage. Some harsh words were then exchanged between Buckley and Ling. Buckley wiped him as he started to walk off.

Being sent straight to the tribunal sounds way more serious than the usual ridiculous formula they go by.

Completely dumb thing to do. Hard to defend this one, if true.

AFL seems to enjoy making an example of these types of uncouth actions.

I think either Ling gave Buckley the blood nose or Ling dobbed Buckley in to the umps for it getting him sent off.

Either way Buckleys thinking was "If I'm going off, your coming with me."

Howe was about 12 and living in a sleepy tassie town when Buckley did this.

Stupid thing to do, and also a disgusting thing to do. Deserves whatever gets thrown at him really.

2012 continues to provide new ways for the MFC to dissapoint.

I wouldn't read too much into that, it's a clear situation where the MRP doesn't have a formula to work with so rather than just trying to make something up they've sent it to the tribunal to be argued.

Haven't seen any of the game, and obviously the incident, but jeez what a dumb thing to do. I imagine he'll get some time off and cop an absolute spray from Neeld because it's these kinds of undisaplined acts that hurt the team. Especially when our forward line is so depleted, and our team devoid of people that can take a mark.

    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,

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.
