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.

Sounds like minor, immature, schoolies incident. Silly, but I still like the sound of him.

No you supposedly don't, but I know that you'll be secretly reading them.

I hope Charlie is taken care of in all of this because whether or not we draft him or not, the media have not done the right thing by him and that's not acceptable in my view.

It's going to be hard for him to rock up and take center stage on Tuesday night with all of this surrounding him - I feel for the kid.

The kid is a DHead for doing what he did. Dont care what age he is, he is old enough to know that drink driving is illegal and can tear families apart and the consequences that come with it. I'm not saying he should be put to the slaughter but it makes me ill the fact you feel for the kid. As someone thats lost a innocent family member to the cowardly act of drink driving he needs a good clip to the ear.

He needs to learn his lesson and win back the respect from alot of the clubs. The bigger test is how will he respond to it.

Agree 100%

Hes a clown and I hope to hell we dont draft him. There is never any excuse for drink driving and putting the lives of others in danger.

Curnow is scum.

Probably most bizzare thing i have ever read on here.

Sorry mate I'll explain it a bit more. As an example lets say the Bombers were going to draft Curnow and then as a result of today's happenings decide against it, then the player Melbourne wanted might be taken by the Bombers as a replacement for Curnow forcing us to take someone else therefore completely changing the draft order from then on....given the clubs rank players differently.

So there are motives for clubs to coerce or manipulate other clubs to take certain players because that can result in certain players falling to them.

So he did the wrong thing and drink driving is an illegal offense and can be fatal and sympathize with you, but this kid hasn't killed anyone and he is being embarrassed and being made to pay for it in front of the entire country just because the media want a story and he is a potential AFL draftee.

I don't see any reason why he couldn't have been reprimanded without it becoming so public, and that is my exact point......why did this become so public so quickly?

RB i'll be reading any reports you post.

But please spare me with any sympathy for Curnow. One he'not a kid. Two he put other peoples lives at risk for drink driving and failing to stop at a stop sign. He's got no one but himself to blame.

He deserves all he cops.

Have you ever not stopped at a Stop Sign? Have you ever drunk and driven above the limit?

I'm not condoning what he did of course.

All I can say is God help us if we do draft Curnow because you guys are going to give a pasting worse than he is getting for his drink driving offense.

don't think god will be much use

pretty sure that if we did take him, he would be treated as a demon and given every chance to prove he's worth it

but a second infraction and he'd no doubt cop some heavy flak

so, no, disagree

seems pretty harsh to be dumping a talented kid because of a stupid incident. yes he stuffed up, what we need to figure out is whether he is the best player for us at our 3rd or 7th pick if he is available. With schoolies coming along a lot more of these kids will be doing stupid things before they play with the seniors.

All in all I suspect Carlton would gladly take him at 12 as they would consider themselves paying well under for him. And he can ride share with his brother to training, etc...

So you reckon the supporters will flip & embrace him? Perhaps that is a trait of Demon supporters that flies in the face of all the the whingeing that goes on, or perhaps that just gives them something to whinge about for 8 seasons. Giving players with lots of talent 8 seasons to prove themselves - I can see that happening.

I just can't see the club drafting him now and perhaps we weren't anyway.... It just doesn't look like part of our playbook.

And my opinion is he is a dkhead Regardless. obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed either refusing to take a breatho is just plain stupid. He needs to learn from this and win back the respect in whatever club drafta him.

Id still take him at pick 7 if he is still available though. But he is an absolute idiot for what he did plain and simple.

Would prefer we take Parish at 3 and McKay at 7. Parish is just the hard working country kid we need and McKay is similar in his attitude. Curnow may have got ahead of himself because of his brother, but there is no guarantee he is going to be any better than McKay. I think it all comes down to how we develop them, so take the kid with the better character.

    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
