  • 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.

Good get. From memory Schwabbie was held kickless that day Geelong beat us by 186 points.

Ask Brad Green what he thinks of him, his reply will be no comment.

Does anybody else think the AFL is letting the media know everything that's going on with this tanking issue just to keep footy talk in the paper during the off-season?

Unfortunately they have evidence.

Of course, there is an international Tennis Tournament on as we speak,

Like a dog with a bone.... The post was speculating if the AFL's is leaking to the media just to keep in the news. Wasn't asking 'did we tank'.

What also must be remembered is that we are a shareholder in the AFL not some sort of paid employee and as such we are entitled to be treated no better or worse than the other shareholders, if there are rules then they must be equally applied.

And so say all of us.

It depends who is doing the leaking. But I am hopeful you're right, that there is nothing concrete in the report that hasn't been revealed. If there isn't IMO we're home free, if there is neither the AFL or MFC would leak it.

Nevertheless the club brought scrutiny on itself by telling too many people the plan.

Where the hell are you getting this part from?

Purely imagined on your behalf.

Unfortunately they have evidence.

When we go to the Supreme court they can tell the Judge "my dog ate it ".

He said/ she said is known as hearsay.

And they haven't actually got a real charge to bring.

Dont panic - you'll get more chances to rubbish the admin later.

so thats what all this past few pages of supporter against supporter was about.

To try to give up one of ours as the AFL have evidence, & you think they will charge one of our boys?

So some want us to give him up without a fight? And without a cost?

.... No Thanks...

is it true the fink is a blue supporter?

If so, how did we know the information?

& did some of our supporters here know what the 800 page AFL document contained? & if so, from which source?

This thread has degenerated to the point where it no longer serves any purpose.

It's closed.

That is not to say that threads regarding the tanking issue are now banned; to the contrary, we will continue to encourage discussion and a wide range of views. However, in future we will endeavour to moderation political and other sensitive threads more strictly to prevent abuse, bullying, flaming and excessive and unreasonable posting.

Thanks to deegirl for raising the issue in the opening post. It made for some interesting debate and discussion but inevitably has run its course for the reasons I gave above.

PS: No offence to anyone who posted here on the last page. My observation is a general one.

    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,
