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.

What a great Club, and what great supporters we have. Our footy has been pretty shitty of late, but this is an achievement to be proud of. Great job Fork, and everyone else involved. Please bump my earlier contribution up to $50.

PAID 28 JUNE (DN122682)

Curious if you will be there Fork or a delegate to start attaining some of the donations.

I would also love to make a contribution and would be happy to make my payment tonight if possible.

Go Dees and thank you Fork - this has been very inspiring

The whole exercise has been significant.

Sorry glory, overseas at the moment, in transit today, will be online tonight answering questions and posting payment info.

In transit Sunday/ Monday also but online in and out. Stay in touch, if certain members want to starting pooling their donations, please proceed.

Gotta go!

I cannot congratulate everyone involved enough, especially fork and sleeve.

Staggering is right, I only wish I could pledge more (maybe I'll chip in a bit extra when it comes to transferring. Significant moment in our history.

This is why sport is the best thing in the world.

I am so proud of everyone at this great club. Well done and thanks so much Fork for getting the ball rolling. No matter what happens on the field - WE ARE WINNERS already.

Hey, you mob blow me away! I keep logging in to see if it's all over, and you just keep on giving. You have totally won me over.

At Yuendumu, the story is getting around, and I reckon you've picked up around about 800 fans or so - that's how many of us there are out here!! I also reckon our future AFL stars might be thinking well of the Demons too.

Can't even begin to thank you enough. Just know that you can be extremely proud of giving a unbelievable gift to Liam's family and community, and one that will just keep on giving. That # 48 guernsey is so much more than it seems - it's pride in the present and hope for the future. Can't buy it. As Japaljarri said, its all so much more than just a game.

What an awesome way to build a partnership. :rolleyes:

Hey people what about we raise the total amount so the people at Mt.Theo can use the money for other things. Time to dig a little deeper. This should be our gift to them.

Great Idea. At present the total is $2983 with a total of 3410 to get, we are not that far off.

I will say one thing, this will rely on those that have pledged to come good and ensure they come good, which I have no doubt they will but it does need to be said.

I've made a database of all users from both sites and the amount pledged which I'll forward to fork each time I update it.

Cheers

Sensational result! It says a lot about our optimism and loyalty for the success of our club. Not to mention a great membership tally for 2009.

Top effort Fork. Really appreciate your endeavour and commitment.

PS. I've already pledged on 'Ology.

Demonlanders, I'll say it one more time, this has been a fantastic experience. The union of the past couple of days has been something special and can't thank you enough for getting behind this idea. This is Melbourne, this is it's supporters getting behind the club, it's players and what they together stand for. It's also the beginning of a wonderful relationship with the Mt Theo program (which it must be said is revered throughout the Western Desert for the vital role they play with Warlpiri youth) and the wider Yuendumu community.

Now it's time for our generous donations to flood the Mt Theo coffers, lets purchase this, as Japaljarri has said, "sacred object" and present it to the Yuendumu community on behalf of the club and it's supporters.

Please follow the following easy instructions to donate your generous amounts.

The money pledged for the purchase of Liam Jurrah's debut guernsey will be donated to the Mt Theo program.

There are two ways you can make your donation.

You can do it online

or

You can visit their website and print a form which you can then post or fax.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR DONATION:

Go to the Mt Theo website: www.mttheo.org

Scroll down the page and on the right hand side you will see a blue box saying "Make a donation to our group"

This will take you to a donations page, scroll halway down the page and click on MAKE A ONE OFF DONATION

or

Just below that there is a link which you may click to print a form which you can fill out and post or fax.

When making a donation online there is a section for optional information. In this section please write "for Liam's guernsey". It would be best if you might include your name also, the idea is that a plaque will be made to honour all donors.

I was just saying the other week that it would be great if the club developed a relationship with the community of Yuendumu. I guess we've just started doing that ourselves.

Will be making a donation on Monday. Got to put some cash into the old credit card account.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
