    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 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.

Fevola is suspended and will not be selected this weekend, told to have a think about his future. Could be a chance he won't play another game for the carlton.

No worries about Fevola this week - Not playing - hes been suspended - his future at Carlton in doubt.

One less worry for Bomber Riley.

Hmmm, I'm still not sure exactly what he's done to deserve the suspension.

This has 'tank' written all over it.

They want our draft picks and I'll be damned if I let those scum have it.

Come on Melbourne, get beaten (you've been so good at it all year)! :lol:

Thought the same 2.

Carlton line of thought:

I'll be damn if i lose the first draft pick.

Let's drop Fevola to ensure that.

My brother is a Carlton supporter and because of that I get an inside view of what it's like having your team's fortunes hanging on a player so grossly inconsistent, irresponsible and unreliable. Not to mention overpaid and self-glorifying.

Please no. No no no no no.

No

No

No.

NO.

Carlton should trade Fevola while he has value.

I don't think Melbourne should take him on though - at 27 next year I think he's 4-5 years older than guys like McLean, Bate, etc. When they hit their peak he'll be 30+.

they are tanking for sure. how convenient. we need carlton to win another game. its going to be funny if we come across carlton in round 22 and we are trying to lose so they dont get a priority draft pick..and so are carlton so that they get one.

We don't want him.

Recruiting any player at any time involves guesswork. Even picking up Brock was a punt. And can anyone say Pickett has worked out as hoped?

But Fevola's a head case and as such, doubly risky. Can anyone bring him into line?

I recall from long distant times the tale of Phil Carman...

yes.. one difference between what we've known as MFc and say Pagans mob is that Pagan will dispose of Fev if for the greater good. and not blink !! I for one really think we ought to let some other club savour and enjoy the indioscycracies of one Brendan Fervola, half gun/ half nut !!

Pagan is also a wylie , crafty ol salt !!!!! we will have to watch him !!

I hope people aren't being serious about hoping to lose :o

I've had a gutfull of losing every week. I can't stand losing , and I hope we pump the Blues this week. Get some revenge on those punks from last year.

My comment was clearly tongue in cheek.

However, as far as I'm concerned, losing from now on is as much a positive as winning.

If we win, great, if we lose, we're one game closer to getting a good draft pick.

I don't want us to do what Carlton is doing, and tank in the most obvious of ways, but I won't be happy if we waste the rest of the season playing ordinary senior players, playing unfit players, and not playing the kids in order to win a few extra games.

We need to use this season to our advantage, and a huge advantage would be to finish bottom 3 and gain some good draft picks.

Nothing would be worse than finishing 10th.

Whether you agree with it or not, the AFL rewards clubs who have bad seasons. We should cash in on that.

This will be the worst game of the year. It will be about who wants to lose the least. We won't have Neitz, Johnstone, Green, Bell and maybe Robertson and Carlton have just dropped Fevola. This is the battle for the number 1 draft pick. Richmond have a full list to choose from now and will be out there to win games. It is very unlikely that Carlton and Melbourne will be out there to win games if Carlton lose though I think that will be the nail is Pagan's coffin.

I would go for Fevola this is the only way you can get him when he losses the plot because when he has his head screwed on he is usually awesome and a matchwinner and no one would want to get rid of him then he is worth the risk and with his mental problems he could be a bargain buy because no one will want to give up too much for such a fragile player. Is he under contract ?

If Fev could do a Cam Mooney* and settle a tad he'd be a look at at best!! But fe'vs far too easily distracted.... he's tainted meat I fear. Stay away , stay away!!

footnote... who else noted he(CM ) still finds it hard not to do that after the play niggle thing. Still he has come a long way , credit where it is due.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
