  • 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.

I gave up long ago trying to work out the MRP and its disgraceful bias. But this is [censored] outrageous.

The more I watch it the worse it gets.

Jones actually changes direction at the last moment to bump Hannan.

The point is, if Vince gets done for his bump (the Betts elbow is another matter) we should contest based on the Jones case.

Appeal Appeal Appeal. Just bring up Schofield as precedent, they clearly authorised slight elbows to the head all of two weeks ago. This was on a par with Schofield to me, more contact but equally as severe (as in not very)

Yep. Nothing to lose by appealing. 

Schofield got 2 down to 1 originally too

So Vince gets two seperate penalties for two offences. Suspension and a fine.

Whereas Dusty who is already sitting on one fine, get a single fine for the two offences, cause giving him separate fines = 3 for season = suspension.

Never seen such a concerted effort to make sure they didn't have any film on Martin punching that bloke from Brisbane. Reckon put the money on now, he's a moral (poor choice of word) The Media are bigger yellow maggots than the yellow maggots .

If that's true, I must revise my accusation that the MRP is insane.  It is totally corrupt.  The AFL sickens me.  Let me count the ways...

AFL report actually states 3 down to 2 with a guilty plea. Original 2 game ban plus 1 for bad record, can except 2 with early plea. Not sure we appeal.

2 weeks .. take it and move on

Port game is almost a certain loss ... he will be missed against North at iceberg Park but at least back for a tilt at the Giants in the Nation's Capitol !!

It's official, Vince got two games for his elbow on Betts and a fine for his bump. It must be noted that Zak Jones did not receive a fine for his bump.

Oh, and Dustin Martin got off because the MRP said it was an "open hand".

they also said martin's action wasn't deliberate.....go figure

It would be pretty hard to argue that his elbow was "insufficient force".

Just a dumb thing to do.

Why? Thats what Schofield argued isnt it??

on that logic, may as well appeal and have him rubbed out for all 3.

Totally corrupt or in with the bookies? Interesting that Martins brownlow odds didnt change between the incident and the MRP report isnt it? Youd think with a risk of suspension hanging over his head they might be suspended at least. If this was a cricket match, they'd be in jail.

    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
