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.

Dunno if that requires much brilliance.

Yes, it's almost ghoulish how the world is fascinated by this complete psychopath who is also certifiably insane. The trouble is how dangerous he is. The US was dangerous enough - witness Iraq just for a start - before this amoral,  lunatic, loose canon came along.

Once again, it just shows how insane the Us is: how can they have elected this lecherous, fraudulent imbecile???

I know he holds a fairly important job but I am absolutely addicted to Trump.I have to read every day what new fluff and nonsense he has uttered.  He is the comedy act that just keeps giving. 

I hardly see the comedy any more. The world is in a very dangerous place at the moment. The Goebbels paradigm that the sheep are the most inclined to believe the big lies has never been more apparent.

I have to see the comedy as there is little I can do,  not only about who they elect, but also about their whole decaying system of government and the poor choices they have as leaders to select from ( not that ours are any better)

I love how he just sucks people in. He’s brilliant. 

One nation received 4.3% of the vote in the 2016 election and won 4 seats. Next you will be telling us Pauline Hanson's brilliant as well.

I think that the likes of Trump and Hanson get elected says more about the "people" getting sucked in than it does about Trump/Hanson's "brilliance".

I feel ghoulish. I am not sure what diagnosis fits Trump but he certainly has a few sheep loose in the top paddock and yet he was elected president. I am fascinated for this very reason.

I have stated before and will repeat that in Australian politics there have been Prime Ministers and their platforms that I have vehemently disagreed with and could never have voted for but I would say that we haven't had a Prime Minister who I believe was unfit to hold the office no matter what i thought of their policies.

Trump is looney tunes and is unfit to hold the office he was elected to.

I don't doubt your ability to be impartial enough to see the arguments of polticians and politics you don't agree with and note you often try and understand from the opposite viewpoint. A quality I admire and try my best to do as well.

I think you under estimate Trump. I can't emphasise enough that I despise him as a person and hated him even more as a celebrity.

He has smarts about him though that put him at a genius level. You don't end up president of the USA by fluke Bush didn't, Obama didn't and Trump didn't.

Australian politics follow the USA and at the moment we have the most insestual, unfit, corrupt mob we have ever seen. Don't for a second think the USA wasn't  worse and Trump had the forsight to campaign on "draining the swamp"

Trump has had a much better impact on the economy, employment and social cohesion than could have been imagined. Watch the left get more and more shrill in the lead up to the next presidential election as Trump's economic numbers get better and better.

Truly I can't see it.

Again I point to Pauline Hanson - her party received 4.3% of the vote  - is she a genius ?

I would point more to the fact that you don't get to be President without smart people around you. Whilst I don't like Steve Bannon's politics he smelled and felt what the electorate wanted and made sure that Trump espoused those views. He knew what the electorate were sick of.

I  believe that Trump's election victory was in equal measure about what the voters didn't want and they were sick of establishment, playing politics type politicians. Every time Trump takes to a career congressman/senator with a baseball bate, be it Republican or Democrat, his fans cheer.

I am not sure that Trump is a genius - I don' t think he knows any other way.

Well, I hope the economy goes well, but look what happened the last time we had a Republican idiot in the White House. Eight years of letting the Wolves of Wall Street run the show and we had a bloody GFC - dunno bout you, but my super took a solid whack.

I'm not sure how comparing Pauline Hanson's 4.3% vote to Trump's presidential election win helps your argument.

He lived out Ferntree Gully/Belgrave (or was it Kilsyth?) way didn't he?  I really only remember him from Pick-a-Box... I know he was Science Minister but I didn't follow him too closely.

Haha... I worked at the Dept of Veterans' Affairs when it was located at 444 St Kilda Rd back in the late 70's... one of the few remaining houses was next door... it was a bright green massage parlour called The Gentle Touch.  I recall one time 2 young guys trying to get their mate to go in early one afternoon... they looked up at our building in horror, and suddenly ran off in the other direction as quickly as possible; all 10 floors (or whatever it was) must have had crowds of people lined up at the windows watching.

Barry lives in Carlton these days I think, I see him occasionally going to a seafood restaurant in Lyon Street near Brunetti’s. He is always dressed in a suit a throw back to a by gone era. God knows what he makes of the current anti rationalist/science mob running the country now!

Trump a genius? Bwahahahha!!

The Wall Street Journal - hardly a lefty newspaper - described his tweets on trade yesterday as ‘one of the greatest displays of economic nonsense in presidential history.’

    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
