    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.

Will be more than that I think and so it should. 

Dumb, counter productive and self destructive.

Swans will use it.  

It wouldn't be unreasonable.

They keep showing it on TV and it makes me feel sick. On further reflection, @Deestroy All is probably right. 6 and career - how could the coach or his teammates ever trust him again?

6 weeks and if our depth plays like Wagner and White played - we will see him again.

I don't really care if we do or we don't - we had some senior players do stupid things at the start of the year, but this is the kind of distraction that might cost him another contract.

And the fact your quick to defend him is disgusting. Your probably one of those flogs that was calling Oliver weak as [censored] during the week.

Looking at Bugg deliberately punching a bloke in the jaw, with enough force that he had to sit out the while game.

Deserves a long break

Complete dog act and has thrown his game off.  

Hate seeing him strutting around with a ripped guernsey like some tough-guy after throwing a sucker-punch like that.

He definitely wasn't strutting around. You could see he let the sydney players push him around after it. It looks like he regrets it and it had a big weighting on the rest of his game.

Would assume he'll be gone for quite a few weeks, and he was only just holding onto his place anyway. Will struggle to appear at AFL level again this season. Serves him right, idiotic and shameful thing to do.

Stupid git is going to miss a flag, that'll be a lesson to others.

An act of mindless idiotic thuggery. 4 to 6 weeks at least, but I'd sit him out for the rest of the season. Not what we want this club to be.

Making no excuses for Bugg, but when are they going to start cracking down on all these little body punches players are throwing all the time?

Saw it with Thompson a couple of weeks ago drawing a reaction from Reiwoldt. Here Mills throws the body punch and Bugg reacted.

Two wrongs dont make a right, but still...

Geez, seriously, can this club have just ONE week in the media where the focus isn't on something negative? This will be replayed every night for the next 7 days, following the Oliver hit (which the media gleefully decided to label a dive), following the non-issue Instagram post from Bugg...

Yeah, I'm sure he was just flailing his arm around. Didn't mean to make a fist and smack him straight in the jaw.

Was a poor effort, he has acknowledged it. Take his wackers and move on

I don't know what's worse, Bugg or supporters taking his actions lightly. 

It's a shameful unnecessary thing to do. It's flat out assault. It's not ok, and it's embarrassing to see someone wearing our jumper behaving like this. 

Our jumper is sacred. You wear it and you represent my club with this sort of crap? Not on your life buddy.

Watched the whole game, 'Champ'. Still sitting here watching the post-game review.

How about you play the ball and not the player. Bugg stuffed up. Time to get over it and move on

I think it is fair to say the demons just ran out of personnel tonight, not helped of course by Bugg's mad act. I suspect we will never see him in a Dees jumper again. That is not what we want to be about, and if left unchecked destroys the culture of the team and the club. I really hope the club takes a very strong stand on this, unless there was a very very good reason for the act which hasn't come to light yet, but seemingly with no video evidence, which means it was verbal which means Bugg is a sook and a coward, so he has no place in the Club anyway. Time for strong action here.

i would suggest 8-10 weeks which would be season ending and almost definitely career ending, at least in the AFL. Deservedly too I would suggest. This simply can't be tolerated, either on the football field, or in society in general

I've been satisfied with Bugg's contribution up until now ............. but tonight he let himself and the team down.  There's still a good chance that the Dees will see some action in September, and a fair chance that Tom won't be part of it.

I reckon it was very crude and no excuses.

He will get even more than Hoult so 5-6 likely?

He was obviously not thinking and our club should have made sure that the head is sacrosanct after last week. That should have been drilled into all players.

Just saw his interview and Well done.

Well Mickey..did you see the provocation? didya ? 

Bugg did stuff up yes ? He collected Mills a beauty...most deserved.  I bet most folk couldn't whack a bloke as well if they TRIED !! 

It just happened ffs. The Spanish Inquisition probably isn't required ?

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
