  • 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.


Maynard must get at least four weeks

sorry i dont understand why they are even mentioning maynard could potentially miss out on a couple of pretty important games, what the f* does that have to do with anything. it sounds like that has some weighting on their verdict, which i find extremely unsettling.

Yeah that’s pretty pathetic. Why not mention that Gus too could miss out on a couple of very important games AND THE REST OF HIS CAREER 🙄😡

Theatre at it's incredulously absurd.

There is nothing about fairness or accountability.  It's all about smoke, mirrors...i.e optics.

 

Rollinson's posts ought to give you an insight that this is why it takes 4-5 years to become an apprentice lawyer, because they teach you each and every way known to the human species to lie, obfuscate, twist words, play semantics, twist facts, and basically to deceive. This appears to be what was rolled out - again- tonight. It is the paradigm for the absolute fraud we call Westminster Justice.

Gleeson's instructions to his tribunal members

When we come to consider the rough conduct (high bumps) provision, it was fairly and appropriately acknowledged by Woods (AFL) that, in order for us to find that this was a bump, there needed to be a voluntary bump, not a bumping into someone, but a bumping of an opponent.

What in the hell happened to careless acts !!!

He seemed to have plenty of time to turn his body and bump.

If he had no time to react he would have run straight into Gus with his arms  up in the air trying to smother.

That’s what you and I and a bunch of other normal, reasonable people think, but then again we’re not a rabbid bunch of ignorant, soulless hooligans who think it’s ok to chant their team’s name as a supposedly respected oppo player is concussed, then carried off the ground.

I need to just say that I am not a biomechanist but I do have fully functioning eyes and a brain. 
Maynard’s left - right take off actually puts him MORE in line with Brayshaw. If Angus maintained his line he would have gone straight into Maynard’s shoulder. Rocking to the right actually put him in line with Maynard’s chest. Until Maynard turned his shoulder in to where his chest was. 
Am I missing something?

I've been following football for over 60 years, Tony.  I can't ever recall a "smother" where this has happened, can anyone else?  60 seasons, more than 10,000 matches, more than 1 million minutes of football.  It really is a freak accident or something else ...

Well if nothing else this is the longest amount of time Maynard has ever had to spend using his 2 brain cells. 
He will now be missing the game due to brain overload. 

You are a plagiarist: but I forgive you. I said the same about Maynard in an earlier post...

Said the exact same thing at work today. 
 

I think the AFL HAS to demonstrate that the initial process ‘worked’, but then the final argument on appeal can be overwhelmingly convincing to not allow the appeal to succeed. 
 

At this stage I could easily be wrong and they throw it out at this stage. 
 

With the current litigation against the AFL, demonstrating that the process ‘works’ and was followed was part of the reason for the overruling of Christenson by the new head (of who’s name I can’t remember).

 

Process and more importantly the public demonstration of the adherence to process is more important than the correct outcome.

Just saw this on Twitter, is this a legit account?

Clearly not. Look how their handle is spelled. 
I know Collingwood supporters are extremely dumb, but surely even they can find someone to run their Twitter account who can spell their name correctly 😂

I mean, I would have gotten a statistician in to declare how many standard deviations from the mean (how likely ) that was

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
