    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.

Pull the other one. Absolutely nothing in either.

Come on, you really are accepting mediocrity! Daniel should get two weeks, minimum.

As for Daniel, all the boys are making fun of gawn for flopping and making it look worse

Move on bud we won the flag

FREED FROM DESIRE!

Why don't you go outside and hit your head on the ground hard enough to make a 8cm abrasion and see how you feel afterwards?

Yes, It would be very similar incident to what Gawn did if I did throw myself at the ground

Just watch this interview with Trac mate :)

I don't see why reportable offences should be overlooked just because we won.   Seemed clear to me that #4 hit his neck, not his shoulder and no question he intended to bump.  I wonder what those downplaying this would say if Clarry couldn't play on and we lost the match.

As for Gawn, the players may well be mocking him - who could resist?, but I can't see how anyone could bang their head into the ground like he did just to play things up. His head clealry moved too fast into the ground.  Maybe his arms waved about unnecessarily, but look at the replay. Where did the momentum for his head hitting the ground come from other than from the tackle?

Dead right, Sue. Daniel should be reported. It is laughable that the AFL can't be bothered. What is it? Do they want to start their Christmas holidays early?

Daniel tackle should have been a free. It was dangerous and out of play. I completely reject the assertion that Gawn hammed it up. The logical inference is that he hit his head on the astroturf hard enough to take skin off on purpose. Okay then 👍 but like I said, just a missed free.

Agreed.

He is a big guy yes, but once he was put off balance he hit the ground hard and had a noticeable head bump. He definitely didn't play it up, and if the situation was reversed and Gawn did that to the little t*rd Daniel, the free would have been there.

The sheer fact that it was a little guy putting down a big guy is why they didn't pay it I think. But it was late and it was dangerous and it was out of play. A free kick everyday of the week. Absolutely nothing more.

But it did mean Gawn went forward and Jacko went into the ruck, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Are you kidding CYB? I was concerned Max might have been concussed. Besides that, Danial's action happened AFTER  both were over the boundary line. It was unduly rough behavior and was worth at least two weeks. Daniel is very lucky Max got up. People are saying how great it was Max said Dogga should take the ruck for the rest of the quarter. How about Max being stunned and having to recover from having his head swung onto the artificial surface, not even the grass, and having to spend time on the bench to recover? . 

Not saying it wasn't there. It was. But Maxy over exaggerated the impact and injured himself in the process. And the exaggeration alone will have it tossed out of the MRO. We will never know how much sling was actually involved unfortunately. I also thought he would be pulled off for a concussion test, but I'm afraid that would have been self-inflicted. 

Was seething in the moment, but after watching several times it was clear that there was a bit of staging involved.

I expect it’s more to do with being kind to the losing team added to the usual beloved top players discount.

Caleb tackle was defintely a miss free kick, but nothing more. 

Bont on the other hand - had no intent other than to ran through Clarry, and hit him straight in the head. What the hell replay are people watching that shows him hitting his shoulder? Pretty laughable that the MRO didn't pull him up

On top of that, in  the throwing the ball competition it ended up a draw between, funnily enough, two Footscray blokes.Both short little on ballers. Enough said...

Tracc's not going to start a sh*t-fight on national TV. Be real. Of course he's going to laugh it off.

Clarrie is a tough bastard but the whack shook him up for a moment. So, high, deliberate and let's say low impact. So how is not scrutinized? 

It's all very well to say haha we won, doesn't matter ..... but it is yet another example of the high farce that the match review/tribunal process has become.

A total disgrace that it's been shoved under the bull [censored] carpet.

    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

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
