The MFC did not place an absolute priority on winning games; they had one eye cocked on the Priority Pick from some point in the first half of the season. Like so many teams since 1999. Call it what y

You are correct as far as tanking goes if Bailey holds firm. Rule 19 will not have been proved to be broken. What may be happening here is that the AFL have gathered evidence of Officials telling sta

Is it too much for the following question to be asked of the AFL by the MFC? "Why after clearing us at the time, have you launched another investigation purely on the say so of a former disgruntled p

Perhaps the Mayans were right, and this is the apocalypse. I can picture Wilson's headline now: "Demons charged with tanking; Schwab causes world to end".

I've watched Sons of Anarchy episodes over and over again and never once does Alverez of any of his Mayans gang mention anything about the end of the world. .

But in episode 4 Alverez did say " we will not find any gold whilst Bailey insists on playing that lummox Paul Johnston on Nathan Brown"

So most of you guys are happy to be thrown out of the next 4 drafts for not co-operating with the AFL.

I'd rather co-operate with the AFL and work out a penalty that won't cripple us.

We are not 100% innocent in all this.

This one is getting up there with the most ridiculous things I've read on here. Let's see the evidence first.

The Afl has obviously got some hard core evidence if they're going to charge us.

Eg- emails, stories collaborating etc...

I reckon we're stuffed.

Therefore plead guilty, WORK with the AFL for a fair and minimal punishment and let's put this sorry affair behind us and focus on 2013.

FFS the doomsayers predicting the cataclysm that will occur on the 21st of this month seem to have a more positive outlook on life than you mate!

If we get charged we get 7 days to respond & I would expect review the evidence. Simple if they've got us covered we negotiate, if the evidence is just subjective or weak then we fight. Time for the Fink to earn his money!

Instead of taking this to court and losing (which being the Melbourne football club, we will), the club should be sitting down with the afl this week and working on a plea bargain. Loss of our first 2 picks next year, a $200k fine and a fake apology (because we all know Carlton, West Coast, Collingwood etc tanked as well)

We cannot afford a serious punishment.

You don't think 2 first picks and $200k fine is a serious punishment?

I agree. Why would we negotiate 2 first round picks? I say give Bailey 12 months, Connolly 6 months (because of his ill-advised comments), Schwab 2 months and maybe, just maybe, a first round pick (which hopefully won't be anywhere as low next year)!

I think the Courts should all close down. According to some on here, if you are charged you are guilty. Bugger having a hearing and testing the prosecution evidence, not to mention presenting your own.

Oh and by the way, we haven't been charged with anything yet.

IF, we are charged and after a hearing found guilty, the AFL should hire a lot of lawyers as they are going to be inundated with claims to recover lost bets by punters and bookies.

I don't deny Deegirl's claims here, i've seen some of her past work on 'ology, but I seriously doubt that anything will happen until after NY. The last thing the AFL would want is a sh!t fight over the Christmas/NY break, you could perhaps say it's a tactic to make our job all that more difficult in a defense strategy but it's terrible publicity for the AFL to do it at this time.

BTW is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

It is interesting that on the 'ology site this is all she posted. "Just posted this on Demonland - looks like the AFL will officially charge MFC, Connolly, Bailey & Schwab with tanking."

Nothing else and no replies at all !!!!!!!

And that is because

1. We believe her and

2. It is only a charge that will be defended

so really nothing to talk about yet.

Maybe make that any first round pick we have in the first 6. If we get a later 1st rounder than that we are obviously not tanking. And it would actually create incentive for us to finish 12th or higher and retain our 1st rounder.

Let me get my head around this. An anonymous poster (as are we all) claims to have “sources” that have given her an exclusive bombshell concerning the MFC. This source is apparently superior to any that the mainstream media have since they have made no comment. It also apparent that Caro, who would give her left [censored] for this exclusive, has been scooped.

Remarkably this rumour draws around 100 responses many of which give it credence.

If that isn't silly enough, some are discussing what penalty we will get.

You have got to be kidding me!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
