    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 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.

The one match suspension when it should have been two or three with early plea also allows the opportunity for it to be downgraded to a fine.

If Geelong appeal Danger gets OFF! 100%

The AFL will be telling Geelong to appeal and the AFL will be telling the MRP to down grade the suspension to a fine. 

It will happen...

No red faces on Brownlow night!

Rule change for Brownlow will be made for next season...

So the MRP failed to make their weekly outrageous decision.

Fortunately the AFL have the tribunal as a backstop. They have planned for all contingencies.

A QC will claim that Danger did not in fact tackle Kruezer, as a matter of fact it wasn't even a game of Aussie Rules, that the MCG does not exist, that Danger himself does not exist and even if he did this very situation is in the Magna Carta.

The tribunal will find this credible and convincing and Danger lines up next week.

Frankenstein again in the clear for high contact.  Their usual protection of Sydney players and of this individual in particular.

I just want to remind everyone that this got 3 weeks.

 

EXACTLY....the commentators were clear . " thats a sling tackle when the arm is locked down and you've got no way of protecting yourself" We hated that at the time but if you're going to bring it in then bring it in...dont not apply it because its Dangerfield. If it was oliver it probaby would have been 3 again. FMD

Whilst I think this will happen Kruezer was coscussed. The same report as when we played Carlton. They can't fine (well they can I know) when the player was concussed.

Been listening to KB*** on SEN this morning re the Dangerfield issue and it has been driving me nuts.

He and some of the morons calling in are not happy with the Dangerfield suspension and are now pushing for the tackler of all players who hit their head and get concussed to be rubbed out.

Also ranting about inconsistency for tackles where players are concussed, using Kents tackle on Sloane and Burgoynes tackle on Reid last year as glaring examples of double standards because Kent/Burgoyne were not suspended.

Spot the difference KB/SEN callers, you flogs...

Kent DID NOT pin Sloanes arms

Burgoyne DID NOT pin Reids arms

Dangerfield PINNED Kruezers arms

Once the tackler pins the arms of a player and takes away their ability to stop their head hitting the ground, all onus is on the tackler.  Seems pretty simple to me.  

 

*** no need to say it.

Finally managed to watch a clip of the tackle after reading about it here (and listening to people speak about it on the radio).

For mine, @JTR above is correct. If you pin an arm, preventing a player from bracing themselves for their head to hit the ground, you take responsibility.

The replay clearly shows Dangerfield pinning an arm and driving Kreuzer head first into the ground.

It must be sanctioned with the loss of games.

 

The Brownlow discussion is irrelevant. If you take an action like this and are suspended, you are ineligible.

 

As for consistency, I think the commentators who are arguing that Buddy wasn't charged have it the wrong way around. The fact that Buddy's intentional high contact wasn't picked up on by the MRP indicates that they aren't serious about the head being sacrosanct any more. The lack of consistency here is that Buddy WASN'T charged, not that Dangerfield WAS.

Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield will not be eligible to win the 2017 Brownlow Medal after he accepted his one-match suspension from the match review panel.

Good

Do not pin a players arms and then drive the player to the ground. Concussion is a dangerous place  

Simple. Train to tackle a different way

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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

    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
