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.

I might pop over to the Big Footy/Filth board. 

They are really teeing off on Grundy over there. It’s amazing. Imagine these kind of posts being made about Gawn.

At what point is he traded for a 2nd rounder to get his utterly ridiculous salary off our books? Not even a joke now, completely serious discussion needs to be had. Beaten by a retired 35 year old ruck coach today whose body is held together with tape”

”Grundy should offer to take a pay cut. I’m serious. It would be the gesture of someone really invested in the club.”

”Send a message to this bloke!! Drop him and leave him there for a month. His efforts are weak as [censored], got his mega contract and switched off.”

This should be shown to people during contract negotiations. 
big contracts in size and length of time can be very dangerous. 
Players must perform if they are well paid.

GWS had an added incentive to beat the pies last night. They hold Collingwood's first round pick this year. Pity we couldn't get our hands on it. Imagine the mirth and merriment death riding that pick for the year and based on last nights performance it could well land in the Top 5.

My ears pricked up when he said there was more to footy than premierships. It was on fox footy and he was talking about the good you can do in the community, using your position to affect change etc. Not that there's anything wrong with those intentions, but I just would've chosen my words better there.

More to footy than premierships?... and you're a senior leader on the biggest contract at a club? Yikes.

I think deliberate is gone CB....us fans will have to scream ‘insufficient intent’ when the ball gets kicked or tapped out of play. Last night was the first time I’ve heard the umps use those words.

 

A bit late to the party here but geez hearing “insufficient intent” makes me cringe. It sounds like when someone writing an essay has wanted to sound more sophisticated, so they’ve gone nuts with the thesaurus. One of my wife’s uni lecturers called that “w**king on the page”.

Are they awarding frees for insufficient intent when a player lets a ball kicked by an opponent go out rather than try to pick it up?

In the Brisbane/Bulldogs  game an umpire refused to give a free for deliberate OOB because a Bulldogs player let the ball run out when he had a chance to pick it up. The umpire told him so. That’s the way it should be policed.

Well that's better than actually giving Brisbane a free for the Bulldogs player showing insufficient intent of keeping it in.  But that is exactly what he did - clearly he showed insufficient intent to keep it in (though not responsible for the motion of the ball).

But it does not change the Brisbane player's "intent" if an opponent could have kept it in but didn't.  So as unsual for the AFL, the terminology of rules is imprecise as well as being cringeworthy as Nasher said.

There is nothing in the rules about what happens if a player who didn't dispose of the ball does not try to keep the ball in bounds. More "interpretations" and enforcing rules that only exist in someone's head.

 

18.10 OUT OF BOUNDS
18.10.1 Spirit and Intention
Players shall be encouraged to keep the football in play.
18.10.2 Free Kicks - Out of Bounds
A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player who:
(a) Kicks the football Out of Bounds On the Full;
(b) Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Boundary Line and does not demonstrate sufficient intent to keep the football in play; or
(c) fails to immediately hand the football to the boundary Umpire or drop the football directly to the ground once the football is Out of Bounds.

On Kayo tonight, I watched simultaneously GCS v CAR & COL v GWS. F'n great service for $5 a month. 

F1 starts its European circuit next week.

Some of the tracks are in mind blowingly beautiful spots and occasionally the racing is good.

The Sky commentary is the best in sport.

So what do we think will happen to nth today? The crowd will be interesting. Mind you they get to play under a closed roof. 

As impressive as Adelaide have been,  North could win today.  Anyone who thinks they're going to go through the season without a win is being unrealistic.

They badly need Tarrant back though, and Taylor Walker could kick 12 today.

11-12k at most

Could be as low as 8k

Maybe a 1000 local Crow supporters... certainly very very few from Adelaide

If North believe in themselves and show a bit of composure the Crows are there for the taking. They are not taking advantage of forward entries and kicks at goal at the moment

I just saw Caleb Daniel's tackle, now the Brisbane player is unhurt (mostly) by it but I have to say that is more dangerous than just about any tackle I have seen sent to the MRO. That is a neck-braking action, he drive the guys head into the ground with all of his weight. It's lucky that he didn't get him flush and that perhaps the ground was a little moist and soft, for me that is a tackle that needs to be eliminated completely. I think he got one week, I think that should be looked at worse the Dangermouse's bump.

    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
