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.

It's sad when the meaning of english words get expanded and twisted to fit whatever the latest liberalist agenda of the day is

gaff is not a victim. he is a protagonist just having to deal with the consequences of his unsocial and stupid actions

next we will call criminals the victims because they have to do a stretch in the big house

When i was at Uni one day, one of the teachers told a story of this guy breaking into a house; well there to meet this would be slime #(&^$ was the pet dog who soon turned him into a chew toy.

The a## hole whilst in prison, sued to the homeowner to get the dog put down because he was injured and suffering.

Now at this point i said WHAT? the teacher gave me this look and a half, he won his case to have the poor animal put down.

So if your dog goes to protect you and your home, he/she should stay eating their bone in the corner, whilst you get  the c&%^

taking out of you.

They can both be victims. Brayshaw is a victim of the physical impact while Gaff may be a psychological victim from feeling guilty. The fact that Gaff made the violent contact does not stop him from being a victim albeit one that was self-imposed.

One had to eat through a straw for over a month and still has “dead teeth” which may never recover. The other made a decision and then kept running. 

Spare me the violins ? please....

Sorry DC, you need to look up the meaning of protagonist. 

Gaff is a perpetrator and by extension  most definitely not a victim.

I reckon we should be into Andrew Brayshaw all year, just like Dockers have done with JH.

Surely Andrew would feel the pull of family and wanting to play at MFC with Gus.

Bad luck if we destabilize the Dockers.

I said he was a victim who inflicted it upon himself. I didn't say anyone had to feel sorry for him.

He is not a victim at all. He instigated the action, soley 100% himself

the Victim has a smashed jaw and dead teeth ? 

i must be old school, but i don’t feel sorry for Gaff at all. I saw the incident live and could not believe it. Assault is what i call it.

Well if you saw it you would know that Gaff tried to hit him in the chest. Not excusing it, but it is probably helpful to state facts. You have like myself probably seen the incident replayed many times and would have seen Brayshaw lower slightly, meaning at the time the punch connected, his head was at the position his chest was just before. Look at Gaff’s arm and fist at contact  

Given that and Gaffs history and comments after, it is open to believe that Gaff never intended to hit him in the mouth.

I don’t think he intended what happened, but it is what it is.

He deserved hi penalty.

No, Gaff was not aiming for the chest. 

I don’t buy that. 

That is your opinion Red, but not mine

He lined him up, connected and then kept running....

I saw a low uppercut, so i have never thought the chest was the intended target. 

It just sounds less evil

Sorry for the delay I just worked out how to do it.

Anyway both players are about the same height and you can see Brayshaw lower his height as the punch came. It clearly altered the target.

Look where Gaff's fist would have struck if Brayshaw was standing up.

If that is an uppercut it has come from a long way down.

To me he wanted to hit him in the chest or even lower towards the gut.

But did you actually? I can't see anything.

Is that what we should pop your alarmist politics down to as well? Old age?

Left of Stalin. What rubbish.

The Age lost its way a while ago, but mostly because of who sat on its board and made the decisions.

As for the topic, Gaff hit Brayshaw and should cop the penalty.

If we're talking politically left, I'd say the sentiments around the Gaff hit were that violent actions on the field should perhaps be dealt with in a similar manner to violent acts off the field. I can see the thinking, but I'm not for it as it's a contact [censored] sport.

Considering old man Brayshaw confirmed it himself, you should probably look to climb down off that high horse.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
