  • 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.


NON-MFC: Round 11, 2022

I think the best way to evaluate the non-50 decision is like this

Given the umps paid no 50 - The AFL will back the umpires for using common sense...

If the umps had paid 50 - The AFL would have backed the umpires for paying the correct decision 

Clear? ...

You're welcome 😊

That’s not the point. Viney was suspended because of the action and how it looked. The AFL want to protect the integrity of the game. Franklin threw a punch. If they are consistent, he gets a week at least

"If they are consistent, he gets a week at least". ... so he will get off then.

Dissent only exists when a free is paid against you in the AFLs eyes

Brad Scott should be worried about his mid season performance review 😂

Not so sure ... there was a free against Tigers earlier in the game when they dissented about a non decision, as I recall

Franklin punch will be interesting. If it was say a Melbourne CHF like TMAC or the weed then they would get 3 weeks minimum but because it is Buddy nothing may happen. If we lose to freo he may get a week but if we beat freo he will play for sure. That is how disgusting the AFL can be.

The clock stops when the ball goes out of bounce, and a 50 can be paid. The siren sounding is irrelevant.

Clock stops when umpire signals time on

I tell you who’s about to get robbed after that. Me and everyone else that needs Prestia for 25+ possessions in a multi, they still haven’t added his kick after the siren onto his stats.

Prestia for a goal was good money too tonight, wish I had it!

The match was live.

The match was over...the only action you can take after the siren is your kick if it was awarded before the siren.

Honestly I don't know if this is fact but pretty sure we will find out over the next few days.

There was a reason the ump was on the mic to someone upstairs. My guess is to confirm the timing.

Once confirmed, it was game over...go back & have your kick.

That should have been a 50 metre penalty every day of the week.

Well actually no.

The 50 is given for time wasting, running off the mark, dissent or a further infringement against the team with the free kick.

None of those existed.

There is no time wasting, as the siren went and he gets his kick no matter. If it happened in the game yes of course, but no time was wasted.

As the umpire said it was a commonsense decision.

Also, to get the look on Reiwoldt's face it was absolutely the correct decision.

You know the umps are sticklers for rules. If someone marked 40m out and the siren went and an oppo player kicked the ball away, you honestly think they would pay a 50?

Make up your own mind. Was kicking the ball into the stands classed as an unsportsmanlike manner?

 FIFTY METRE PENALTY
19.1 SPIRIT AND INTENTION
After a Mark or Free Kick has been awarded to a Player, a Fifty Metre Penalty will be awarded against the opposing Team which delays or impedes the play, or behaves in an unsportsmanlike manner

Look at the discipline of our interchange  boys when T Mac took his after siren kick in the GF - did not celebrate on ground unti “all clear” was given. 
Under the old rule, 10 years ago, Footscray could have been awarded the Premiership for a violation there

No... and after the siren there is no time to be wasted.   Nothing to see here

I mean forget mean happened. Theres 6 seconds left at that throw in, I'd be surprised if the Swans players didn't know this. Did they really have to hold? I think the free kick was dicey but why even put doubt in the umpires mind?

I also love it how we're so mortified that someone boots a ball into the stands and pay 50s for it because they can't get it back to the player quickly yet if someone boots a behind into the stands we have ball boys like lightening throwing another ball to the kick in guy to keep play going :p

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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,
