Deeg is a troll, if she was not talking bs she would stay and reply to other post, and if it is so, then carlton is next, also anderson would still be there to take the gory to tell the world he was right to start the investgatiaon.d

Maybe Anderson stepped aside when he did because he knows a CEO position will be available should Schwab be found guilty? :ph34r:

Sorry, just in one of those moods where I look for conspiracy theories!

 

If, as is mentioned above, we are debating (bargaining) penalties it won't go to court.

Bargaining is admitting guilt.

McLardy said we will fight it out.

Off to court we go.

Not the worst tin foil hat theory I've ever heard.
 

My question is that if they are going to charge us for this are they now going to investigate all clubs that got a priority pick?

The mind boggles.

Gippy


ah well, they cant take Jack Viney or Jimmy Toumpas from us!
 

So the demonology supporters tell me about other stuffs she has been spot on

I would have thought it's quite a common practice from plea bargaining in criminal jurisdictions to employers asking employees what they think is appropriate under the circumstances when an employee has stuffed up.

Note, however, that I'm not commenting on whether it is or is not occurring in this particular instance.

If they ask us then we should say that we would be happy with Bailey getting 12 months suspension and the others two months each.


There is no way Melbourne alone can be singled out.

Go wake up Finks !!!

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.

I'm hearing similar rumours. Including AFL asking the club what they feel would be a suitable punishment.

Only a dysfunctional AFL could ask someone how they want to be punished.

Response should be to suggest discussing penalties after the investigations into other clubs (notably Carlton & Richmond) are concluded.

If the response is that no other clubs are to be investigated, then jam your penalties and of to court we go.

I know deegirl is usually spot on but this is AFL knowledge, not Demons knowledge...

We will find out soon perhaps?

my mind is hazy on exacts but as a long time 'ology poster I can also state from memory she is a respected poster and breaks news over there.

Ah, jeez...

I hope no-one else thinks like this.

What a subjugated, defeatist attitude.

It's both.

It's both.

You know what I meant.

Can the Ologists tell me if whe knows her head office stuff?

So.....It takes only one poster to cause panic and hand wringers to abound.......The Prez has stated that we will fight for the integrity of the club to the hilt......I belive him....

No..what we cant afford to do , nor ever do , is roll over like some pup as you suggest.

What a [censored] weak attitude , honestly.


If it's Deegirl from Demonology I believe she's virtually always on the money.

If this was actually the case, which I personally doubt, then why wasnt the club brought before the the AFL commission when they had the opportunity ?

More [censored] stirring !!

Unless someone hacked onto her demonology account its the same deegirl.

http://demonology.midnight.net.au/

and that would stop someone hijacking the nic for here ?

 

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 !!!!!!!

yuck....

The one big disclaimer I have stated since day one is we dont know what evidence the investigators have uncovered.

What we have all heard is

1/ a couple of players "vibes" about what "bails" was allowed and not allowed to do

2/ lines uttered by Chris Connelly at a meeting and a committee member at the Sydneyt game

3/ 3 games with "suspect" player positioning and interchanges

4/ no player was told to not perform

If thats all there is - then take it to the highest court in the land - heresay and subjective.

To my thinking, the only way we can be charged and the prosecution be successful is if the investigators have more on us than we have so far heard.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
