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.


Jack Viney a Liability?

I will ask my daughter when I get a chance, she use to do the stats for the club

It's a Champion Data stat so might not be one clubs have recorded in the past, but would be handy to know for sure.

Stack’s bump was absolutely brilliant, textbook, fair...
 

Stack will be the pick of the bunch.  Marlion Pickett will exist in his shadow.

 

Stack is a combo of Cyril and Byron.  He is Viney’s kryptonite.  Big wrap.

 

An MFC supporter who can’t genuinely praise the technique and effect of that bump is a one eyed subjective simpleton.

I can see you have trouble joining, pretty basic dots. So, because i like helping the strugglers i will break down my point into bite size chunks, that will be easily "mentally digestable" for you.

  1. Viney is made of tuff stuff
  2. He was not in a position to see Stack coming as he was focused on getting the ball- watch the vision
  3. Stacks bump was not tuff, as Viney had no chance to take evasive action or prepare himself. Its pretty easy, and some would say cowardly, to line up a player who cant see you coming.
  4. in comparison i posted vison of Viney bumping a west coast player front on- that is the WC player had plenty of time to see it coming
  5. A recognised true test of tuffness is being prepared to back into a pack without knowing whats coming - players who shirk this often never live it down - Viney has done this on numerous occasions - i have not seen Stack do the same (he may have?)
  6. I said it was borderline reportable - obviousely Stack was not reported. had he conected a few inches higher it would have been reported- therefore borderline (only just acceptable)

On another matter-  I think bumps belong in the game but they will be eliminated if players keep getting concussion. Concussion is mostly caused by bumping, and much more likely if a player does not see the bump coming. So if you think the Stack bump on Viney was "absolutely brilliant" i have a news flash for you- those types of bumps will be eliminated from the game in the next few years. And yes i am  one eyed MFC supporter. I will leave it to others to judge if I am a simpleton? 

Regards

Why was it cowardly when it was a body on body bump? That Jack's shoulder was injured shows it wasn't head high. 

If you're saying it was cowardly because Jack didn't see it coming, then there's the given that Australian Rules is a 360 deg sport where you have to expect the unexpected. In fact the vision shows him with the ball turning and getting a good look at Stack before the bump. May well say more about Viney's inability to react quick enough. It was perfectly fair.

The Brereton hit was well off the ball and not comparable. 

Not that I want to defend a Richmond supporter, but the bit about concussion is irrelevant to this.

 

Take your Viney hate off, how the hell do you react to something that you don't see coming, no player on earth would have avoid being bumped in that situation

Clueless, you are buddy. Viney had a good look at Stack before he was bumped. Look at the footage, he saw it coming.

No Viney hate, just reality.

You forget to add Cowardly, as are many 'famous' hits in AFL. e.g. Mark Yates on Brereton. 

In years to come when more is known about concussion long term,  your attitude will be ranked with those climate change deniers and others of similiar ilk.,

The concussion debate my friend, has not unearthed the culpable...yet.  Let me educate you.

1. Footy is a contact sport and players have, are and will be concussed.

2. The real "crime' has been perpetrated by the medicos and the clubs; BOTH having a self interest that the woozy player sort of go back on.  The club's self-interest (and I mean every club), was the scoreboard.  The medico's self-interest was keeping his/her employer happy (first and foremost) and secondly, to ensure those lost-playing-time-to-injury stats remain 'better than the medico/physio you replaced'.  Not every medico behaved this way, but I reckon a majority did easily; and as Paul J Keating once said, "In the race of liife, always back self-interest".

If we are serious about concussion, take away the decision from the player (Jack Rievoldt/Viney), the club, and the medico.

How the hell Jordan Lewis was allowed back on to the field after the hit against the bulldogs is a disgrace today, as it was then.  Any medico since Hyppocrates knew it was dead wrong to send a concussed player back on the park.  The "we didn't know then" is absolute bulltish, in the concussion debate, as it is the climate change one.

 

How Melbourne and Viney let Viney back on the park after Stack smashed his AC was again nuts, when the game was dead.

 

Don't lecture me about long-term concussion.  Like most areas, I know stuff you don't even know you don't know.  Keep listening to Robbo in your cave.

No Viney hate, just did reality.

What would you want jack to do pull out of the contest, that's not reality, if he did you and your fellow haters would be calling him soft

You missed the point. That's not what I said. Clueless. 

Time to move on.

    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
