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.

I Hope she starts something about Richmond's TANKING.

CARO your hate for the MFC is clear and my hate for your fairytale story's is equal.

MFC SHOULD NEVER TALK TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU AGAIN.

GROW UP CARO.

Wilson does not have a twitter account!

It needs to be said again, lest more look foolish.

What does it matter if this is a fake site - as it almost certainly is?

It has a lot of followers - maybe even the real CW.

Spoof sites can be very valuable if used correctly in a PR sense.

They let you focus on a particular issue and like a good satire, they let you make a very strong point without the agro that goes with being direct.

As there are journos who follow the Carowhine Twitter some well placed tweets - like those sent by Demonland - will get to her.

If she makes a song and dance about the Twitter account it could open her up to ridicule and provide a reason to make her fess up to what she's been doing.

It's some [censored] going for laughs impersonating someone.

What does it matter?

It matters if the [censored] says something that we react to, which happened a couple days ago.

I don't care if journos are 'following' it out of ignorance or malevolence I am just saying that anyone who thinks this account is Caroline Wilson they are mistaken.

You miss my point - never mind.

In lots of ways Social Media doesn't work like traditional media.

Look how many international advertisers such as beer companies and car companies (see the recent Opel campaign run through the MFC ) do things which seem to leave themselves wide open for abuse and ridicule, but in the end do a lot to reinforce their brand. Turning what a "[censored]" (your term) says about our club back on them is much easier on spoof pages. Anyway, the truth will hopefully come out in the next week or so and we can get on with making our club a great football club again.

who cares if it is not her legit account...Wilson will know it exists, & i am sure she reads this site. So the message gets out.

This is what I mean when I refer to the damage done to the club by the media's treatment of the "tanking" story - Denis Pagan urges the AFL to go easy on Melbourne for tanking

FORMER Carlton coach Denis Pagan has urged the AFL to show restraint in penalising Melbourne for tanking, as the league's inaction on banning priority picks comes under fire.

---

Pagan yesterday said the league had to be careful in how it penalised the Demons, who are hopeful the league will have made no decision by the national draft.

Denis Pagan is a nice bloke and his sentiments about the AFL not going to hard on us over tanking are well and good but there's a heavy presumption of our guilt running throughout the story. The propaganda effect has won out and in the eyes of the world we're guilty of an offence before we've even been charged, seen the evidence or put our case.

Our jails would be brimming full if that sort of thing happened in society.

Worse thing. There'd be no lawyers because once somebody accuses you of something, you're automatically guilty. That sort of thing doesn't even happen in totalitarian societies where, at least they give defendants a show trial.

Totally agree WJ. Pagans comments are sickening really.

Lets be clear. The only acceptable outcome is one with no repercussions.

Anything else and the club needs to go to war.

Is CW on leave or something? Nothing since last week.

It's quiet... too quiet.

I'm hoping she's been reined in by the editor, following a flood of emails promising to boycott The Age whilst she remains.

4 of those from me.

Love the last line of the article quoting Demetriou calling the media "absolutely disgraceful" for their suggesting of MFC Tanking.

It's basically:

- MFC tanked

- go easy on them

- MFC tanked

- MFC tanked

- Demetriou takes ridiculous position on tanking

A tried and tested formula.

I had to write a comment to the paper - what we have is a comment about going easy on a penalty to our club from someone who is out of the game before the investigation is finished, before the finding is handed down, before the MFC has had a chance to defend itself of any charges - if indeed charges will be laid at all.

Does my head in that it needs to be published at all.

I love it when she visabily shifts uncomfortably in her seat when he starts to bring it up. She knows whats coming.

Then she tries to defend and then shift the arguement onto something else. Then Hutchy keeps her on topic and then she attempts to squirm out of it.

Absolute gold!

Seeing this just made my day a better one!

Its become A classic Strawman argument really.

We'll dipense with the facts and stated positions and go over here instead and make it up and then let everyone consider this or that scenario when in fact it has no standing.

its just bullsh!t !!

'WJ', I think this is John Ralph's spin on what Dennis said. Having heard the interview I don't remember Dennis presuming any guilt at all, he was talking about the detrimental effect that losing draft picks would have on Melbourne and Adelaide if the AFL penalised the clubs.

    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
