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 is wrong with you people??? Money money money!!! I too last week accepted a job that will pay me double of what I was earning. Should I have stayed at my old workplace on half of what I was offered? NO!! Screw loyalty, its not about that...Its about looking after number 1, its about setting up your life, your family, being able to educate your children and giving your loved ones the best life possible. Being able to live comfortably. You lot arent going to pay Scully's bills or buy his house for him. Gee whiz dillusional lot you are!

Tom at the airport said he hasn't made a decision as of yet, and that he was just having a look, as you would with any offer.

Ah, ignorance.

Thanks Mr. Pennski.

I knew what "palpable" meant, I just thought "audible" probably fits better.

I'll take your word for it that you could hear the panels laughing, but I also saw both and didn't notice the sound of laughter either time.

You sure that's what they were laughing at?

On these footy shows they do tend to take turns acting the fool quite a bit.

I have TSFS on tape. There's a definite laugh from the panel when the film of Hutchy's report ends and they go back to the studio. The panel are all smiles.

They were laughing at the Scullys.

The fact that people think you can't live comfortably with around 600,000 per year highlights how misguided humans are. And playing for a football team with thousands if loyal followers is not comparable to Joe Bloe working for the average soulless organization. I'd leave my employee for a massive salary increase but not a footy team that put it's faith in

me. I guess that's just me though. Obviously being a passionate supporter of thus club does make my opinion biased.

Even better news for the Bombers. Hurley to GWS

Looks like we will be handballing the megathread over next year. Maybe some could offer some advice for the Bomberblitz members.

Bomberblitz have already started their first "Hurley to GW$" thread ... http://www.bomberblitz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=62909

Replete with familiar bashing of journos and cries of he's no chance to go etc ...

The poor buggers. I almost feel sorry for them.

Yep - this was reported this morning on the SFS. Do you believe it?

From what I've heard about what Tom's like as a person, yeah, I do.

You do know that Hurley's gone, don't you?

Well we can't be sure about that but if Lloydy drops it on SEN next year that he's 98% sure he's gone, I'd say bank it.

Suffer to them. Lets see how "one of the big power clubs" handle this one then. I laugh at this.

On a separate note how uncivilized is their website? One of the posters bio is "rock out with your [censored] out." Compared to them we are all scholars!

Melbourne is not the pinnacle of success. Therefore, comparing Scully leaving to other clubs losing established Premiership playing players also from the first round is a stupid comparison.

i havent really got involved in this yet but my opinion is i think he is gone, but i will be interested to hear his excuse if he says its not about

the money then he is full of BS.

If he says its the challenge of starting a new franchise then thats BS.

If tom scully wants a challenge in life then i can think of no better challenge then trying to get Melbourne to its 1st premiership since 1964.

So whats it gonna be tom become a millionaire overnight and lose every game 4 the next 2 years, Or help the MFC to a premiership getting well paid to do so,

if you stay tom and get us a flag you will become immortal amongst the MFC and go down in history as the kid who was the most loyal of all time.

If he goes to GWS its 4 money and nothing else dont matter how you spin it.

His Demonland banner image has been dulled. I dare the moderators to replace his image with a dollar sign until we get the compo for him.

I dare the moderators to stretch his nose out a little in Pinocchio style every time he publicly says he clearly hasn't made up his mind yet.

Its a bit harsh on Scully mate! I would question his character if the money is the underlying factor, but its the system thats allowed this to take part not Scully. Give MFC & other clubs who have/will lose players the same level playing field to compete. Lets not forget that they have extra room in the CAP to pay more. My question his who created this?? My next question to you is would you not consider a job offer paying 200-300 k more a year?? I dont agree with the whats happening & the MFC are getting shafted again! But dont take it on the kid, should we have a crack at Judd, he took the money, Ablett, sure they achieved flags etc

We have the same cap as Carlton, Richmond & Collingwood. What is the difference between Thomas, Swan, Martin, Kreuzer or Murphy deciding to stay? They were all playing under the same rules as MFC & Scully. Unfortunately for us those players have shown what character and integrity mean while our prized number 1 recruit has only shown that he really puts the pro in professionalism if you get my drift...

I can't logically argue any of these points when you have such a narrow-minded view.

They'd be wasted words.

Best of luck to you.

No you can't logically argue them because truth is undeniable. Best of luck to you if you're happy being shafted by someone who grins in your face the whole time but I've got a bit more pride than that.

Mammon is a term that was used to describe greed, avarice, and unjust worldly gain in Biblical literature. It was personified as a false god in the New Testament.[citation needed] The term is often used to refer to excessive materialism or greed as a negative influence.

And on that note permit me to introduce Pat Drummond, one of my favourite Aussie singer/songwriters with this clever song The Road to Damascus which just about fully sums up what I think of the farcical scenes today at Tullamarine Airport. I hope that Hutchy and the Scullys have the necessary sense of humour to appreciate Drummond's brilliant story telling. Come to think of it, this could apply to most of the players including the journalists, the managers and just about anyone else who's played a part in this seemingly never ending saga which thankfully is drawing near an end:-

Enjoy!

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
