    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.

What was Rampe thinking climbing the goal post? Should have actually been a free kick in the goal square.

I think the more pertinent question is why was Myers allowed to take that kick? On the coverage I was watching the siren clearly blew a second before he marked the ball. It wasn't even borderline, the siren clearly went before the mark.

Can anyone confirm if that was indeed the case, or my feed is total crapola?

Edit: I've just watched the final 2 minute clip on the AFL website and it has been 'doctored' right at the point where Myers marks the ball. The original vision was smooth, that vision has a cut in it right at the crucial point. Coverup!

Heppell must have had some $$$ on Sydney to win under a goal

The whole sequence was odd, whoever the bloke was lining up for the shot was smirking and winking to team mates prior to the kick like he had it in the bag. Then he and Heppell giggling about it afterward like it was at the end of the 1 qtr or something. Suck it Ess fans, you’re captain is a loon!

It’s when the umpires hear the siren, should taken a second longer to hear it at that distance from siren to umpire for sure.

They must have heard it early at end of 2nd qtr as it looked like the Syd player kicked the ball before the siren went.

Ha Ha, that’s what most thought but reading an article this morning perhaps not.

Umpire Andre Gianfagna ran towards the goalsquare and said "Down, down" to warn Rampe while Myers' shot was in the air.

I think I’m done.
Zero progress in over a decade and I’m severely tested.
Enough is enough.

Heppell should lose the fxxcking captaincy over this photo. It should be front page of the HS.

#$%& this team. Never felt this way but I’m done. Glad they’re all mates and have fun together. Hodgey was prob a !@#$ of a bloke but got them flags. Heps isn’t the one to lead us to the gloryland and neither is woosha.

That is the most pleasant read I’ve had for a while. Cheating losers. Haven’t won a final for 15 years. They have zero leadership

geez, as much as I love seeing the Druglords get robbed,  the umpiring department needs to have a royal commission and everyone must be sick to death of the Cola Swans being looked after year after year.

A former MFC rookie.... good to see him still involved in the game. Reminds me of Paul Reiffel a former Australian cricketer (35 tests) who is now on the elite cricket umpire panel. Would be good to see a few more of those players who did not quite make it on the AFL umpiring panel.

In the days of Ricky Barham flying down the wing and Tommy Hafey as their coach they were my second team. It only lasted until they won the 1990 premiership. I think that was the year my MFCSS started as I began to realise any team could have won that year and we fluffed it.

Thats what makes there loss even better. Can you imagine Longmire after the game if Rampe gave away the free for doing something so stupid. I'm tipping Rampe was spoken to after the game on not to do that again. 

Just watched the last 2 minutes. That was a good tackle by Blakey  in the closing moments. Although not sure why he chose to kick it where to did to Hurley on is own and not down the line. But did you notice the wink and the smile Myers did as he marked it? As if to say watch this. Well he stuffed it. 

Gee how rapt would the lions players be coming down to play at Ballarat today?  nice 13 degree day for them.

If one of our players missed a shot after the siren that far out you could maybe forgive them for missing, but if that player then went over to Jones or Viney and they started laughing you would be annoyed. 

But it is stupid that we lose to essendon, we beat sydney and essendon lose to the swans. It does make our loss to them hurt more. 

Carlton could be in for another painful long day.

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    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

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
