  • 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.


If Clisby gets more weeks than C. Brown then...

Similar to my doomed if Spencer gets more weeks than Simpkin thread I'm buttering up again.

Clisby at one staged was wrestling with his opponent and suplexed some GC clown and dislocated his shoulder. It was a great display of aggression and something I'd like to see more of. I'm not convinced it was a reportable offense.

On the other hand after being legitimately tackled the d bag that is Campbell Brown threw out a stray leg right into James Strauss' face and broke his nose. Tony Shaw (who employed him FFS) could see nothing more than an accident but to anyone not born yesterday if you throw a leg into a blokes fact that's pretty clear cut.

Unfortunately the MRP are going about as well as the DRS but we wait with baited breath.

Thoughts?

Steven King on Jeff White. Kicked him in the head, broke his face. No report. Brown won't be cited.

One bad decision is now justification for another. Watch the Brown incident. He makes an (AFL buzz word) double movement. Has to be negligent, high contact, medium impact rough conduct.

I don't disagree that he should be cited, but you need to bear history in mind. We have repeatedly seen that there is a get out of jail free card when you injure a Melbourne player. Look at Col Sylvia as a case-study. He's been taken out by blatantly illegal acts during the pre-season several times, and there has never been a charge laid against the people who did it. For whatever reason, there just seems to be a bit more leniency for players who do this sort of thing to Melbourne.

Unfortunately because of where we are as a club opposition players treat us with contempt.

FCS the season is shot. Just get some bloody 'Grinter' into us and clean up some of these snipers eg. Campbell Brown, Sam Mitchell, Daniel Merrett etc. I'm not suggesting blatant acts of violence, just hard, tough, old school footy.

I normally wouldn't condone this sort of action but really, what have we got to lose? Certainly not respect.....

Brown definitely kicked Strauss in the head, a low act.

Yep, when it happened in real time I thought it looked accidental but then the replay clearly showed Brown extending his leg with force at Strauss' face. He's always been a dirty little [censored] of a player.

Well McVeigh just showed how bright he is. Declared C.Brown innocent. Twerp.

He's using his own facial demolition of his Captain, "Full Responsibility" Hird, by inadvertent application of knee at great speed as a precedent.

Reckon he's more of a drongo than a twerp.

That was a claassic moment and showed how flawed the reporting system is.

Absolutely. He should get 4 weeks for it.

Instead he won't even be reported.

He also turned and slipped the elbow into trenners face in the first quarter, he really is a dirty player

If he's guilty, which I believe he is, then that should be it for Brown. Kicking someone in the head with the bottom of your boot?

Life for me.

I re ran the incident about 10 times and I am pretty convinced it was deliberate. He looks and sees Strauss and then kicks upwards and connects with his face.

I wasn' t shocked as I regard Brown as a filthy player. He would be in good company with Fletcher who should also go this week for a late hit.

Do you know what stage of the game it was, so I can watch it?

Cheers

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
