How about all cleared of draft tampering, the club cleared of all charges, CC charged with game in disrepute and a suspended sentence for his poor comment.

May be worth copping.

You know I was just thinking of posting the same thing. If CC was at the AFL yesterday then adding 1+1 and getting 3, something is up. Maybe the charge will not be something as dramatic as bringing the game into disrepute but they will make something up (bad comedic timing when in charge of a seriously poor football club) and if Trigg got 6 months CC may get 3 with a suspended sentence or just a ss and told that the AFL is no laughing business.

Who knows???

Fanbob wants the club to be excused but those that he dislikes ejected, suits his position to a tee. His own little fanbob club sit on the sidelines and clap his every post. It's quite disturbing to be honest, grovelling is never a nice look.

Neither is ignoring facts or making them up robbie, but it doesn't stop you, does it.

Fan has made the point many times that he likes Cam schwab and Connolls. So, the blokes who are most in the gun are the guys Fan says he likes. But you'd have read that by now, yes? So you've either had serious cognitive failings or decided to fabricate a position Fan doesn't have in order to bag him. Says a fair bit about you, doesn't it.

And it says a fair bit about your fanboys too.

I am seeing a fine for CC which of course the Club will pay. The Club,CS and DB cleared because the charges is so subjective and CC is the only identity that has made a confirmed statement. If there is a smoking gun well ... who knows where we will be at the end of the year.

I never mentioned any names but I knew that one of the conga line would respond, you never let me down Tim.

I think that if you look through here you will see that fanbob has mentioned a few times that we could do better than McLardy and Schwab so I don't know what you're on about. I would have thought that if you liked someone (you know really liked not just put up a front about) you wouldn't say something like that. Then again fanbob is quite clever in the backhanded way he "likes" someone.

BTW I don't have a fan club just some on here that agree with me, one thing you'll notice is that they don't gush when they respond to one of my posts, you must find that a teensy embarrassing.

One other thing I love the way one of his subjects responds on his behalf, it really gives me a laugh.

You do realise that you can "like" someone, but think they're not the best person for a role don't you ?

Personally I just love it when long-standing members of this community start trolling the community.

It's great fun...

FanBob doesn't get much benefit of the doubt and won't for a while.

And still they come out.

Yes I do but I also know the difference between reality and a facade.

What do you mean "they" ? How do you think Fan and I get along these days ?

The difference is I can evaluate comment, while you evaluate personality.

I hear Meat Loaf is actually now the new primary target for investigation.

I think this thread needs closing. Or merging with all the other 'I forget what we were talking about but YOU SUCK' threads,

I cannot believe people actually want to throw CC to the wolves because of an off the cuff joke.

Let's have some solid evidence before anyone is shown the door.

Seriously what has been put up in 7 months??

Macca covered it well in this thread....

Perhaps what we could do with on Demonland is the equivalent of Bay 13 over on Bigfooty. A place where people can just go for it, no mods, no holds barred, where they can say what they REALLY think without hijacking every other thread with this internecine sniping.

We could call it The Cage.

Meanwhile, the bloke who is in many ways responsible for the launch of this investigation, is in the news again ...

Carlton footballer Brock McLean caught in police inquiry after big night out

The Herald Sun has been told McLean was intoxicated at the time of the alleged theft in an administration area of Crown Towers on September 28 last year. The CrimeStoppers release alleged three men rummaged through drawers and stole several items.

Haha! Has no memory of it...Gold!!

Happened back on Sept 28. Would have been handy if the news of it had broken at the time. The case against us would have had to have lost a bit of credibilty.

Still might, depends on how Gillon McLachlan views things.

Geez this is painful 48 pages and we still have no idea what is going to happen.

I'm not for throwing him to anyone or anything, just surmising what may happen. I don't think he will be shown the door but may serve some time in the sin bin. Why would he be meeting with the AFL? who really knows, it's a possibility.

I mean those that hang of fanbob's every word. You upset fanbob, you do that to a lot to a lot of posters because you're a bovver boy with a short wick and if anyone challenges you you abuse them, but now you seem intent on righting the ship. Keep it up, it seems to be working.

Fanbob is a passive aggressive poster who can seem to be all friendly but there is usually a sting in the tail, I used to post like that so I know his style. There's always the "but" at the end, or the qualification of the person under discussion, nothing you can really pick out readily but it's there all the same. I'm not surprised you can't see it, because you don't want to.

It's easy to slip in a few nasty barbs without being really obvious.

I try to treat every post on its merits. I recommend you try it.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
