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.

Nice post.

Still too many of the previous Board members for my liking. They were either complicit with boys club or too weak to stand up to them.

Having said that, with Schwab, Connolly and McLardy gone, we are hopefully over the worst of it.

Good signs from Peter Jackson so far.

It would be nice if we went back to having a "Chairman" instead of a "President".

Roos vs. Neeld goes without saying.

I was only mulling over this the other day. The Dees will be all but recognisable in 14. Quite an amazing overhaul.

Hopefully we're just as different on the paddock :)

I don't know who he is or what he did, but Gary Burleigh has departed.

See http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/35320-dees-cut-recruiter-gary-burleigh/

Edit: added link

Thx for the info, but I deliberately left him off the list. Unless they are a major player, or the list will end up a mile long. I didnt plan on doing the family tree. :) Happy to amend anything or anyone of importance. No offence to Gary Burleigh or anyone else, but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

The idea besides knowing who is doing what,is that we can look back at the recent changes and see what impact they had or are having.

All made easlier when the wins are on the board. Keep the suggestions coming, if they should be included. I amended Kate Roffey.

How about giving this thread a couple of days to settle all of the info, then remove all replies, lock it and pin it to the top of this forum as a great reference "document"?

I think it's missing half a dozen pages of personal insults. I'll get the ball rolling. Lynden Dunn v Strauss?

Please don't do that... there are too many bozos on this bus that will take that bait.

I feel for McLardy. Despite 1000% passion everything EVERYTHING that could go wrong did go wrong. And he still takes every opportunity to talk up the club.

    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
