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.


The New Sponsors

I don't recall hearing anything about Footscray sidestepping this deal until reading this - what was reported IIRC, was that Polis was a Bulldogs supporter, that was all. They continue to have a major sponsor called Mission Foods that was signed up prior to us signing Hankook and kaspersky. I don't know how they could have tied up another jumper sponsor when Mission pay for both FOJ and BOJ. I think someone is making up some porkies that the Bullies were smart enough not to deal with them - there was never a deal on the table there

Some of you dreamers on here don't watch too many sports shows or just simply keep watching the cartoons. Ch 7 today (BT & his mate Darcy) spoke of the deal re EW and the fact that Footscray were smart enough to avoid them. Schwabb has had a year of epic fails, so you smoothsayers just want to ignore this fact and remain in reverse for another year. Get a grip on reality boys, easy to say keyboard warriors do this and do that, but where has it all got us with CS. Energy watch were not checked properly by us or Victory or the Rebels. We all made the same blunder...............fact. Footscray did not...............fact. Polis and his previous business efforts were just plain thin ice stuff, it was all there for anyone to check on!! Hello Schwabb. Does the truth hurt or are you just oblivious to the obvious. You need stronger facts, petals! This is the sort of stuff big wages are paid to senior management to ensure due diligence is always adhered to. Jeez we are rank amateurs in this regard.

Energy watch as a business has been very successful to my knowledge, he is just a racist biggot.

fair enough 1 out of 4 clubs thought he may be a dodgy guy.

Please explain the countries 3 largest energy providers working with him?

edit - sorry i don twatch a sunday morning football program lol.....seriously

I think that is always an issue if the Bulldogs had other commitments or other opportunities unlike MFC.

I am very wary of Eddie in terms of our club. It was he that started the $cully circus. And if Eddie helps you can be dam sure there will be quiet provisos as to how we deal with his club.

Eddie threatened war only 1-2 months ago.

Be wary Demons FFS.

I always thought GWS started the Scully circus.

Eddie made noise in the media and some people get suck in and call it "war".

MFC should be wary and should be looking for the best outcome for MFC and not the first outcome that comes along. This has potential to have "gifts" with hooks in it. If Eddie and Mitchell do succeed, it makes Schwab look lame in the process. And given we have strived and failed to snare the 2nd sponsor we have been looking for, its looks bad on the current administration.

Who is Harold Mitchell?

Given you have pushed your media experience I so often cant believe you asked that. He is one ofthe most powerful men in Australia and as ubiquitous in the media game as Eddie is in AFL.

Thing is, Still Waiting has provided no support for his "facts" and it seems he may be the only poster here who is aware of any consideration the Doggies may have given to EnergyWatch.

Eddie seemed dead serious about it in th Hun a couple of days ago. Don't quite know what to make of it - my gut feel is he genuinely wants to help

http://www.heraldsun...q-1226320149529

HOW " EMBARRASSMENT !!!!

this is ABSURD !!!!!!!! LAME BIG TIME..

HE is being sanctimonious & self serving !! to keep his profile UP.!! & succeeding in putting the MFC down ..

HAND THE HAT AROUND >>??

SERIOUSLY ..!!??

u guys don't get it..

we r not a junior development club for goodness sakes.

A high profile professional club does NOT NEED this crud.

excecs.. need to do their job properly is all,. with well known high profile successful co's.

or be sacked accordingly..

this should not be a footy show hand out for a backwater club "NEEDING CHARITY OR A WHIP AROUND"..!!!!!!

Harold Mitchell has had a regular talking spot on 774 for years speaking on media issues. He is frequently quoted in all media and he sits on a range of public institution boards and chairties.

He is a walking self promotion machine that crosses out of media into all circles of business. He has made a big issue of self promoting his weight loss battles about a year or two before he then started promoting his autobiography.

Amazing you are not aware of him. There you go.

Maybe get Qantas onboard (so to speak) The pitch- commitment to Australian market, both club & sponsor working with Asia , compete against Emirates (scums sponsor) who's trying to compete in Aus market, and tell Eddie to go shove it up his fat double chinned hole...

I think Masters would be a good sponsor to get on board. There just starting out in there quest to take on Bunnings and I think we would make a good fit for them.

Iselect making a big play in life insurance area and at 110% commission the earn they should be able to afford it....they also sell health insurance which every MFC supporter should buy given the trauma we are experiencing to date

Eddie does nothing that doesn't in the long term help CFC. Be absolutely wary of his gifts with strings attached with or without the AFL's nod of approval ie Queens Birthday gift of gate takings - all smoke and mirrors.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
