  • 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.

Hodge straight to tribunal

Lewis 3 weeks but can plead guilty and reduce to 2.

Dunn investigated for contact to Walters - dismissed

Garland investigated for contact to pavlich - dismissed

Head contact for Garland was absolutely accidental. Can't believe it was investigated

Happy we won't see Hodge or Lewis - not that it makes any difference..................

Is Pav's nose being investigated for it's hit on Garland?

Complete joke Garland was even looked at, only reason why is because it was Pav.

Sad thing is even without Hodge and Lewis we will still get pumped by the Hawks.

They will also be without Lake and Frawley which improves the odds and if we play for 120 min we can take it up to them.

It was investigated because a player was subbed out of the game as a result of the incident.

May offered 2 weeks as well - deservedly so in my opinion. Elected to bump and caught Rockliff in the head, can't believe people were actually calling it fair. Rockliff was subbed out straight away and went to hospital.

I was listening to the radio but it sounded like on the commentary that if anything it was Pavlich raising his arm into Garland. Haven't seen it but sounds very strange.

On Hodge and Lewis. I think 2 is fair for Lewis, reckless and stupid rather than malicious IMO. Hodge I'm kind surprised they didn't give him the same, 3 down to 2. I don't know that he meant to do exactly what he did, there was more intention but I don't know that it was much worse than Lewis. Maybe 3 given that it was out of play and instigated a pretty big melee.

Glad we won't have to deal with these guys but there are plenty more to be concerned with. They are racking up a fair list of outs though.

he'd have an uphill battle trying to prove it wasn't intentional

he even said he lost it and had a brain fade

...

Is that a rule? If so I wonder if it is being uniformly applied. (See what cynicism the AFL has engendered...)

Just read that Salem's concussion was a result of collision with a Freo player - did the Tribunal look at that?

One was an act of thuggery during play.

Unfortunately Lou, we may be without Dawes, Jetta, Viney, Frost and the Garland concussion may come into effect. Sorry to dampen the parade. :(

So the Hakws will likely be without Lake, Frawley, Lewis and Hodge when we play them

If we get Viney back for that game we may be in with a show... so long as Sydney don't shatter our confidence this Saturday

1 week at a time.,.

Salem was flattened by a late hit to the back of the head by a guy twice his size after he marked the ball. No report, just 50m.

I feel a little more confident against Hawthorn than I did against Freo that we can cause an upset. God, beating Hawthorn would absolutely make my season.

no 50, just 35.

That is because the umpire gifted them marks for ten metre kicks instead of fifteen. He has no concept of 'fifteen' hence the discrepancy.

Rubbish. They were both going for the ball and May tried to bump Rockliff during the chase. Absolutely standard conduct. Just unlucky he caught Rockliff in the head.

Two weeks for this while Lewis gets the same for an act of thuggery is crazy. Lewis should be getting three weeks if May takes two.

The mrp has been significantly better this year. So many rubbish inconsistent calls last year.

Brisbane should appeal and get May off. I didn't see much wrong with his bump, the fact a player us injured does dictate the punishment for me

I still don't like this 3 down to 2 early plea BS. If it's a two offence, it's 2 weeks. That's it. Call it like it is

If Garland got investigated then what about the late elbow to the back of the head for Salem? That was far closer to a reportable offence than Garland!

Couldn't agree more although I am happy we at least got a 50m penalty - that was some benefit to us. A tribunal decision doesn't help us at all.

The problem is you have ex players or people who used to be involved in clubs on the MRP- they should be neutral supporters, like the umpires are, otherwise the whole process is open to corruption, like we are seeing. Just another little aspect that makes this competition a joke really

Steven May getting anything, let alone 3 [censored] weeks for playing good football is ridiculous.

He should've got off just like Viney did last year.

Will they ever get this [censored] right?

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
