Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Given that none of the feral crowd, players or umpires picked up on it, I'm going with it being an optical illusion. 

Mate I was on the hill and went full feral when he kicked it!! Was very quiet around me for some reason...

Yep it looks strange the slow mo, but the camera behind the goals shows it's a clear goal no way it hit the post 

When a video is recorded using Slow Motion, frames are "dropped" not shown. 

Normal speed is 25 frames per sec

so it is quite possible that a frame jump was shown. 

The Video review system as it stands now is very cheap and nasty

the need 4-5k Cameras

it's not as if they couldn't afford them

Yeah, KB saying it hit the post twice ?? So it's not in his mind goal of the week .... WTF

watching the game on Tv and hearing commentary there was no suggestion that it clipped the post 

me thinks sour grapes from tigerland

I sent a text into sen to tell KB to stop bagging Olivers goal and it was read out too but the little f ockers censored what I sent in. Not happy about that but at least they read it out.

Eggzactly. Considering when you watch sports like the F1 for example, the cameras can show rubber on the track tossed up by tires at 300kph in perfect slow motion. You would think a football traveling at 25kph or thereabouts, through a set of stationary white posts, wouldnt be the most technical R&D challenge in the world. Perhaps they could apply for funding.

I'll probably be pilloried, but I don't think any goals from the boundary should be goal of the year unless something spectacular was done to win possession and get the kick away.  They are generally just flukes - kick it 100 times and one will go through -  that one shoudln't get goal of the year.    I'd rather a goal from dead in front that results from some spectacular difficult play than most kicks from the boundary.  That said, there was more to Oliver's goal than just a kick from the boundary.

Well I've again reviewed the video tape.
As it only looks like it hit the post in the slow mo replay I reckon Daisycutter's on the money.

You right actually. I was concentrating on the slo mo......in which it seems the ball speeds up, like it ricocheted off the post. But in the real time footage this is not the case. Well spotted.

It must be my day I just sent another text to sen and suggested Bernie Vince should have jumper punched the ump (cause he would have got a fine anyway) and the ox just said it on sen but he didn't say it was from a text. 

The stealing little bugger.

Bernie gets a $1,000 fine for a blindsided hit with the umpire - deemed 'careless contact'.

Guthrie gets off for pushing the umpire out of the way and he gets off - deemed "It was the view of the panel the contact was not unreasonable in the circumstances"

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-05-15/match-review-panel-full-statement-round-eight

I'm convinced the MRP has it in for Demon players.

Can't agree at all.

He took the ball in play and purposefully ( very ) kicked it straight at the goals.

That you might' consider it a fluke or question its relative probably is either irrelevant or some might argue weight worth acknowledging in relation to the result.

Your converse ideal is actually what you describe " a piece of play" that might end in a deserving goal. If it was a continuous action it might indeed be worthy of goty. If a kick independent then its just a kick, its merits are its own.

Honestly, I thought Bernie was always going to cop a fine for that.

But the fact that Guthrie, who literally pushed the umpire out his way with force gets nothing, is an absolute farce.

MRP is cooked, something needs to be done about it! The Ox in disbelief on SEN in regards to Cotchin's jumper punch which was deemed careless. He incurs the same penalty as Bernie for accidentally colliding with an ump. I'm lost for words!

Isnt the rule that it is the players responsiblity to avoid the umpire? There was a spate of umpires being crashed into at bounces a few years ago so they changed the rule, of course unless they changed it again.

Correct which is why it isn't surprising Bernie got a fine even tho he was blindsided and it was the umpires fault.

The problem is Guthrie literally manhandled the umpire and deliberately pushed him out of the way but was cleared. 

The inconsistency of interpretation is the issue. 

Which is what riles me as our players seem to get the raw deal more often than not.

Clean sweep of the coaches votes!

  • 10  Viney
  • 8  Hibberd
  • 5  Oliver
  • 5  Petracca
  • 2  Vince

That is a seriously dominant performance by our midfield (and Hibberd). 

Well done guys.

Btw Oliver is now 3rd on the leaderboard with 36 votes, to Sloane (42) and Yeo (43), leading such luminaries as Ablett, Bontempelli, Selwood and on it goes.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
