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.

Depends how you look at at it, hardtack.  Given that it is apparent they won't be playing after August, I would hope that their season will be somewhat shorter than our own.

Not quite how I meant it (figuratively), but yes, I know what you mean.

How will the tribunal phrase Dangerfield's hit so he gets minimum/no weeks?

I find him insufferable but he would hate losing to the Crows.  In the play immediately before the hit, he was well chased down which got him angry and he then buried his frustrations in a deliberate bump as Adelaide ran the ball back.  There was malice.  He should get a week  but expect the marquee player free to play ticket will be handed at.  And Paddy can then tell us all about his happy place and how you can live a simple life on $750k a year.

Severe impact. Straight to the tribunal to attempt to downgrade the 3 Match suspension. 

Will miss Dees game with the 3 weeks but if successful and is downgraded from severe to high then he’ll miss 2 weeks and be free to play against the Demons. 

Guess what will happen?

Interesting game coming up here between our next two opponents.

At half time, it would seem both those teams are actually hoping for a massive downpour to cover their inadequacy.

Most of the players seem less interested in that game than Pickett2Jackson is!

'Stalemate', says the commentator... or did he just say 'Stale, mate.'

We have to go into the next couple of rounds looking for kills.

If Danger got 3 be good result for us....I am not a Danger fan but I am no sure.....

Looks like he lined him up in slow motion but in normal speed he was charging at him to tackle. Kelly handballs then Danger can’t really avoid contact so he braces/bumps. Big hit. Poor Kelly. 

His Vlastin GF hit looked bad in slow mo also but nothing happened there 

Will be interesting

I don’t think intent is a factor when grading. The Adelaide player was out cold before he hit the ground. I think it will be graded severe so he’ll get 3 games.   

But Dangerfield ...

Watching GWS v Saints. Leon Cameron is a genius. Takes a fair bit of skill to take a Maserati and convert it into a Lada. Even Neeld would have struggled with that.

They do not look dangerous going into forward 50 at all. Our forward connection is A-grade in comparison.

Joe Daniher only fined for his elbow to the head like Richmond’s Astbury. 

So you can throw the Elbow back now with intent and be free to play, although the head is sacrosanct 

AFL Logic at work

They’ll crack down on it in a few weeks especially if a no name Dees player does it.

Hard to understand the MRO rules. Looking at the incident as a footy collision, shoulder on shoulder you would think no suspension. 

but I believe you are suspended based on the outcome in the case of accidental head clash. Therefore he could get anything. I expect 3-4 weeks from the tribunal.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
