    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.

Reported on 3AW tonight that Carlton submitted a report to the AFL re Rowe's postmatch headaches.

Carlton dogged on us.

A club I genuinely hate.

Sore losers can't help but sook it up. 

Theyre pathetic and going nowhere

No, I'm not Rodney Grinter either. 

EXactly! [censored] this soft [censored] go watch the EFL or Yarra Valley.. We were always going to get done no matter what -, Lewis has a bad record, as soon as he farted in a demon guernsey he would go -  last time we were a bunch of bad boys we were playing finals year in year out - Grinter, O'Dwyer, Viney, Bailey, Yeats, Hughes, Chiron, Fidge - plenty of bad asses. Either play bruise free footy or get stuck in - we have the depth.. you cannot always have your cake and eat it..I'd rather take the suspensions and walk tall than be accused of bruise free footy and get hysterical over a keyboard how soft we were.

Just saw a replay of Hogans "hit." 100% it was an open hand slap. Crock of [censored]. Rowe acted, no doubts. 

Carlton are angry they lost a game they thought they'd win. 

Carlton are a bunch of wankers, glory days long gone glad to see them lose.My old demon scarf had the bloodstains of a blueboy on them, the day we went top in 88' beating them at Princes Park.

Ethan I have just taken photos of Hogans open hand before and at contact from AFL tonight vision.

Sent them to WJ and hopefully he will put them up on Demonland.

If somebody else knows how to do it let me know and I will forward photos.

PS. Just sent them to Jon Ralph.

Just to upset you all some more.

Crows Tom Lynch broke Birchall's jaw with a forearm, which Dermie called deliberate this afternoon on SEN.

Guess what, no penalty.

Preust in a cowardly act, jumped into a Geelong player's back with his knee after the mark was taken. Could have crippled him. Most media thought 2-3 weeks.

Guess what no penalty.

The one referred to by many on here, the Scott Thomson elbow to Danger's jaw, which most media thought was 2-3.

Guess what, penalty one week. 

Me personally, I could live with accepting the penalties, as long as the club stood up for the players and supporters, incurred the fine and blasted the MRP, highlighting the above. 

Good call, except the AFL have shown how farken vindictive they can be. That's the problem... Gardiner once said to me "Can't fight city hall" unfortunately he was not far wrong....life sucks at times but we just gotta keep on doing. If the dishlickers can win a premiership then we  can!

they teach you in karate how you can kill with an open hand (using the bottom of the palm) specifically with a jab action

so the open hand vs fist depends on how it is delivered

HTF does Scott Thompson (with his equally bad record in comparison with Lewis) get one week for his hit on Dangerfield and our blokes get 3 and 2 respectively? The MRP is garbage. But we knew that.

SEN saying the medical report on Rowe says delayed concussion, thus the medium impact ruling! Both Carlton guys must have a glass jaws. 

So they test him after the fact and say it delayed yet didn't test him at the time to find out if it was there then. Sounds more and more like they either played the rules to keep them our there or put in the fix to get the boys rubbed out. AFL need to ask Carlton some questions, will never happen though.

The Age is reporting MFC will not appeal either case.

The Club confident we have enough depth? 

The Club letting players take responsibility for their actions?

Either way it is certainly a swift and calm reaction.  That alone is reassuring.

Sorry MFC

Weak as ....

I think that's what gets me as well. We cop our whack that's fine but it really feels like they threw the book at us and threw a pillow at everyone else. 

Scott Thompson in particular I thought was worse than Hogan's. That sort of action can some serious damage with the elbow.

What would you appeal with? Lewis was off the ball, Cripps has a fractured jaw, and Lewis has a bad record. 

Hogan I could maybe see it being reduced but again what do you argue? Less impact? Off the ball always carries more weight too. 

We have to cop it, the only thing I would say is it'd be fair for the club to say "well hold on, what about the other reported incidents. Where's the consistency?"

As I posted above I have photos of Hogans open hand at contact. That is a fend off, maybe crude, but not a punch and is therefore careless, not intentional and Rowe has his hands on Hogan at the time.

Hopefully they are posted on here soon and we can all have a look at what actually happened.

Good luck with that, we'd have Hogan out for 3 and Lewis out for 4 in 2 minutes. We'd have to actually prove something to get them reduced. As I said Hogan's is the only one I could see that working for, would've expected a similar outcome to Vince's MRP report last week.

This current system doesn't seem to deliver players a fair ruling and then if they have a good record the option to reduce. It weights it against the possibility of an appeal to get their desired penalty. 

They wanted him out for two weeks and they got it, they knew we wouldn't risk losing him for three.

I thought it looked like Hogan went to push him off but it slipped up. Should reduce the intentional.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
