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.

Not really DC... if I don't use it, the old chestnut about such occurrences being cyclical events will be thrown around.

please yourself, but then you will just be accused of being excessively alarmist like flannery

Haha so by your own reasoning you need to use hyperbole, otherwise, it could be seen as just cyclical.

Have a look at yourself.

I'm guessing comprehension wasn't your strong suite when you studied English Wrecker?

Explain to me which part i got wrong? It is pretty clear you condone hyperbole to make a point on climate change.

I condone it as a means of leaving the likes of yourself less wriggle room with that ridiculous "cyclical event" argument.  Perhaps you might want to concentrate on the content of the post (hyperbole aside, if you like) that DC was referring to?

Perhaps... but I'll rest easy in the knowledge that it is only by amateurs like Wrecker who will be clutching that particular straw... as he did the moment he saw your post :lol:  Wrecker doesn't seem to have too many ideas of his own.

Hear hear. Then there's the fence sitting snipers like Daisy, the professional Bolt like puppets like Pro Dee, then there's the demented and deranged racist lunatics like Biffen who at least has the redeeming feature of irony and a sense of humour.

Oi Weh, I get so sick of right wing fringe lunatics who believe and propagate the bulls**t that Rudolph and his cronies propagate, not to mention the likes of Uncle Sam in his many disguises, the utter fascist, racist nonsense that ALWAYS comes out of British  mouthpieces,  examples, Thatcher, Churchill, Blair - they're all the same, criminal serial murderers.

Clutching at straws? You just admitted you need to use hyperbole in the climate debate, otherwise, everyone will realise it is just cyclical. Nothing epitomises the climate alarmist industry more.

What's more in post #647 in this thread you question why predicting a climate change prior to it happening is important. To spell it out for you global warming / climate change is a theory. Anything that was not predicted does not fit the theory.

I wish I put you on ignore like Pro Dee did. 

You are incapable of forming a logical argument and are everything you despise but just can't see it.

Am so. You just refuse to be enlightened. You are very recalcitrant, Wrecker.

I did explain what I meant by my response to DC that you jumped on (as was to be expected), so which part of "I condone it as a means of leaving the likes of yourself less wriggle room with that ridiculous "cyclical event" argument." didn't you understand Wrecker?  As I said, comprehension doesn't seem to be one of your strengths.

Hardtack- it would be much easier for you to just admit you were wrong.

I am very happy to argue this over and over again.

You have exaggerated or in your words used "hyperbole" to misrepresent weather as climate change.

I would be happy to admit it IF I was wrong. However, your lack of comprehension skills are evidenced by the fact that you seem to think my words are used to misrepresent climate change when it's patently obvious they are not... would you care to explain exactly how my words misrepresent climate change?

Your words don't misrepresent climate change they epitomise the whole industry.

Your words, not mine:  "You have exaggerated or in your words used "hyperbole" to misrepresent weather as climate change.".

So that was just hyperbole then?

Just look at the bold where you quote me. You misrepresent weather as climate change.

Semantics...where have I misrepresented weather as climate change? If you call the bleaching of the reef or the collapsing of glaciers to an extent never seen before weather, then you may have a fair point... but I'd like to see empirical evidence to support that.

How dare you say that? Andrew Bolt writes for the Hun. And his best mates, that Devine chick, Greg Sheridan, Gerard Henderson and Piers Ackermann write for Murdoch's sister/brother publications. And we know they always tell THE TRUTH.

Yeah, you're right - not worth trying to get through the paywall - Mundine's a Liberal Party stooge - I liked the quote from his second ex-wife: "He sold out his people and his family."  Onto his third now. Real poster boy for those good old conservative family values.

    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
