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.


Is Dermott Brereton the biggest flog on tv?

Dermot's biggest problem is that he is pretentious. He is basically a bogan who is desperate to sound intellectual about football, but in trying to inflate the language of the game, he uses words which he has no idea about, as well as words which have not yet been invented.

This, and he just over analyses the most basic of things.

Yeah, I like Derm. Unlike most "experts", this guy actually knows what he's talking about.

And yes, he's arrogant, but he knows that, and is prepared to take the [censored] out of himself, which I find refreshing.

Has been a while since I've watched Getaway. Didn't know he was still on it... Glad to hear he knows his stuff.

Im watching league teams on fox footy atm and this guys attitude and general persona is just ridiculous.

He is a smug [censored] who loves to also sink the boots into the dees, has picked us for the wooden spoon.

Pointless thread I know but does anyone agree or am I just taking his attitude the wrong way?

I can't stand watching him . He obviously thinks he's so beautiful with his coiffured, bleached hair, and constant smrking.(I remember him as a "Ranga" when he made his debut).

If you make a note of his predictions, or his assessment of trends in games, and check up later, he's nearly always wrong.

He was a sniper on the field who delighted in thumping guys off the ball.

i don't deny he was a great player.

'Dermie' Is a [censored] for sure. But biggest in AFL media?

Question might as well be "Who is the floggiest [censored] from Flogtown, Flogistan?"

We, as supporters and 'consumers of AFL media product', are getting a seriously rough service. All that cash floating around, can't buy talent for anything, it seems.

That's one reason why Wayne Carey was so good as a special comments man. Positive comments about Wayne Carey are usually as welcome as the Pope at a masons' picnic but he never tried to be something he wasn't. He didn't need to be overly verbose and was able to speak with authority. If a decision was wrong he would just call it and not waffle on. Derm tries to dress everything up in difficult words to try to sound impressive.

One thing I don't get is why people are upset with this prediction? So what if he said we are going to finish last? Does that mean we will? We're getting like private school girls here with the amount of time we are spending agonizing over how others perceive us. And does this reflect on you as a human being? What do they say about opinions and noses (and buttholes)?

Luke "I just love how he goes about it" Darcy is giving Roos a run for his money.

Darcy is a much, much bigger [censored]. At least Roos' comments aren't all completely bland, nothing observations you could get from Joe Blow next door.

...well they've done it again. If anyone was just watching the footy it's pretty obvious Taylor and Darcy weren't. The umpire gave 2 50's the first for the player getting into the protected zone and the follow up for the Saint player mouthing off about the first.

Ohhh the umpires lost it, he's given an 80 metre penalty. If they hadn't of been talking carp they would have picked up the 2nd one. How funny are these guys, how do you get a gig like this in a professional sport when you don't have a clue.

The weight of public opinion would seem to indicate that Dermott is a '[censored]' of considerable repute.

We should not though forget that he's also very likely to be the most intelligent, witty and urbane gent to emerge from the Frankston Rovers footy Club in well over 30 years.

I still have a special spot for Sandy Roberts as a commentator.

I think he's great. If you get a chance to listen to the AFL Live radio coverage with him commentating its a breath of fresh air!

Gippy

Yeah Sandy's good, he doesn't try to make a big man of himself.

However, as Mike Williamson will always be remembered for "Jesaulenko ........ you bewdy" Sandy will often be remembered for his gaffe in introducing the 1981 Miss Australia, Leanne Dick, as "Leanne [censored]" during a Mount Gambier Cup meeting.

Roosey would love you have a coffee with Goodsey or Kirky or maybe Mummy might even join you.

Can I double like your post?

Roos actually spoilt the replay of the GF they did its the players, I loved the one from Geelong the year before, th Sydney one was ok, but Roos was constantly reminding you of his intimacy with the players who he coached and Long,or was under him etc etc

[censored].

Came because this was the first google result for "Dermott Brereton [censored]", stayed for the brilliant Roos bashing before our 'demolition' of the Power. Oh 2013, we couldn't have known.

    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
