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

Edited by 7-UP

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.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
