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.

I think we should match the offer north has made to jelly. $1mil a year is under s for that kid 

I'm with @ProDee on this one. Get Lever and go for Whitfield as the cheaper option.

Naturally, if we could get Kelly and Lever that would be great, but we can't afford to throw out our cap by paying Kelly ridiculous dollars.

It also flies in the face of the list management strategy that we seem to have adopted.

We should've offered overs last year (600-750k). He may have bitten. I mentioned it at the time. But now its probably too late. We would have to compromise a lot now, and probably more than 1m a year come contract time. Kelly is that good. But teams have to identify them early, and hit them hard. I think we'll see that trend eventuate now. Every side dropped the ball on Kelly. They offered him slight overs when they should've have offered him massive overs (at the end of the last year), which would be unders right now. Some players are worth gambling on. Kelly has been the most effective player in the AFL for over a year now. He will only get better.

This bloke abuses everyone in that team. Does not discriminate.... 

The ONLY Team in the AFL that the umpires actually straighten up, when their players are kicking for goal, to put them on a lesser angle. Amazing!!

gw$ have 26 fit players to pick from, and currently have neafl, vfl and wafl players playing for em.

it's gonna be frightening if they can get their best players all fit at once.

Yeah, but how many missing from their best team ?

Deledio is shot and hasn't played a game for them.

Coniglio, Griffen, who's very average these days, Haynes, Stevie J, who's on his last legs, and Lobb.

They may have a lot of injuries, but their guns are well and truly playing.

Watched the Giants match on Foxtel and nearly threw the console at the screen. Dwayne Russell is such and embarrassment commentating. His barracking for the druggies was to the point of sickening. Why do they persist with him I'll never know.

Yes. There is absolutely nothing like able about him.  Never looks happy - Druggists deserve him and vice versa.

Obviously I'm in the minority, but that's why I love Goddard.

He cares about the result, he shows passion. Yes, there are other ways to show it other than taking it out on bowl of lollies, but you are left in no doubt about how much he cares about trying to win a footy match.

He has been great for us in a really trying few years.

Funny, I have read over the years on this forum so many people bemoan Melbournes lack of passion and leadership, yet you guys bag Goddard. But I guess if you don't follow him closely, which you obviously don't, why would you, it's easy to draw to the conclusion he just yells and points a lot and isn't a leader. Plus he plays for Essendon, so he is behind the 8-ball from the start. :cool:

Absolutely he can be, but his love handles and gut are amazing. 

Yeah he may have just got comfy. Coming to the end. I don't like him because he is a sniper, and could have did more damage in his time (dangerous). But as a footballer I admire his persistence. He didn't have a great career at Carlton, but has rejuvenated himself at Norf.

See, we can go in circles here, so this is the last time I'll make my point.

It's easy if you don't follow Goddard closely to draw the conclusion he just berates teammates and throws tantrums, but there is a lot more to him than that when it comes to his leadership. You've stated you virtually don't watch Essendon games cos you can't stand us, so I doubt you can form an educated view of Goddard and his leadership. I assume you would have seen the article in the Herald Sun on Goddard this week, saw it was written by Mark Robinson and you would have assumed it was Essendon dribble and not read it. If you read that article, it will show you what type of man Brendon Goddard is.

Ash. I rate your posts and admire your willingness to wander in amongst us. I have to say for a 'passionate' and sometimes capable player ol Iamgod is a bit of a nob !!

Mark Robinson and Brendon Goddard

They both excelled themselves this week. 

I watched Godard for years at St. Kilda and then he walked out

Whatever happens now i couldn't care less. He walked into a drug den looking for success

Not very cluey is Brendon

I don't think they were going to pay high if you drive head down into an opponent's midriff 

 

And Norf goals from a throw pass

 

Can Toiges pull off a narrow loss from here?

Smashing a plate of chips or whatever is the poor man's passion and leadership. Any idiot can take the easy way out and show pretend passion like that. Doesn't give him any points with me.

Goddard is a good player but he acts like a petulant child too often.

I agree with Ash in that he has an excellent football brain, makes the right decisions more often than not, and communicates them effectively to his teammates...sometimes.

He seems to be extremely arrogant but then again he's a very good footballer, so why shouldn't he be.

    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
