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.

"Gilmore later called her only to discover he had been visiting"

How did she get the number? Something really stinks. 

I don't wish to buy into the sad Stringer story but just for general info - 'phone calls' can be made via facebook, skype, etc to an account holder so phone numbers are not required.  Messages can also be sent on them.

For example, I have a Samsung Tablet which does not have a Sim card and I use those apps for messages, 'phone' and 'video' calls.  It accesses the internet via my home internet or 'Hot Spot' to my mobile phone when I'm out and about. 

There are lots of ways of getting someone's phone number or account names if a person really wants to.

(Actually, Franco Cozzo is a great bloke. Don't think even he could sell a Stringer though.)

He will be fine a "grand sale" where PC has the situation under control - we are moving a step closer, its going to be tough to land him.

"Hey, wanna send a pic of me to my wife?"

"Pretty weird, but OK"

Seriously, why is he letting her take a nude photo?

Lots of people take nudes - for fun, excitement etc. The same reasons people do any other risky stuff. Getting plastered (or playing footy) is probably a far more dangerous activity to engage in, but we've all done that. Add to that, he's a guy who clearly has a star complex and allowing young women to paint him as a sexual god would feed that.

Most sensible people would probably be a little bit more guarded in who had their junk in soft copy, but nothing in all this has painted Stringer as somebody sensible.

Why would they want to contact Abby?  One yes, but many?  You'd think that after the first one Jake would tell the second and subsequent ones to "keep it quiet".  And wouldn't they be worried about a backlash from Jake?  I think it's pretty clear Jake, nice boy that he is, probably encouraged them to pass on the good news to Abby.

Anyway I've made my point.  Thanks for the explanation, I'm certainly not social media savvy.

You don't know what young girls are like.

They would contact Abby for one of the following reasons:

1. Jealousy- she gets to come home to him and have all the nice things a WAG gets

2. Anger/Revenge because Jake didn't give them enough attention or wouldn't sleep with them again

3. Guilt at having done what they've done knowingly or unknowingly 

It would be very easy to get Abby's number. She's contactable thru social media and an agent. Anyone could have emailed her asking to do some business activity as a lie to cover up. Also how easy is it to get a number from someone's phone? Very easy these days. If these girls got close enough to Jake that he'd let them muck around on their phone, they could have gotten her number without him knowing off his phone.

Gambling such an insidious part of our sport, the gambling $$. You can see why young people/players can get caught up in it when a 'hero' like Bartell decides his multi is more important than voting on the highest individual award a player can get on grand final day.

I don't see any issue. He had a multi bet that was still alive that could have netted him 350k. He made the bet a while ago and only needed Vlastuin to win the Norm Smith to take his winnings. As if you'd give that up to nominate a player for the Norm Smith. I'm sure he'll get another chance to vote in the future. I understand gambling is an issue but this 'story' is not one. 

Probably not on the correct board either.

VP, I suspect you are something like my vintage (ie well over 21), and to me and many my age, the behaviour of people of Jake's age is definitely a mystery, an enigma and a facepalm. It is also clear that Jake will never join Mensa, and is probably not the sharpest tool in any known shed. Throw in sexual politics and social media, and it all seems like self-destructive horsesh!t ...

Congratulations on being the biggest [censored] talker during the off season so far - 'we are moving a step closer?'.  His manager said today it's Essendon or Geelong.  We've never, ever been in the picture, yet you've continued to trump it as often as you can.

From the AFL site...  

What Stringer wants: "A strong coach," his manager Robbie D'Orazio told NAB AFL Trade Radio. Leadership on and off the field and mentors are important to the 23-year-old after a troubled period off-field.

Because the Bulldogs didn't have that right...have to laugh if he picks Essendon - a match made in heaven.

Interesting comments - we will know more after Dogs have a chat with Watts, Stringer wont get to where he wants to go. So it appears he will have to nominate Essendon his 2nd choice and then start praying. Big question is will the Bombers get the deal done? If this goes well into the second week things could get very interesting. Im not going to count this one done until its written up on the board and I see it with my own eyes.

Where is Stringer's 1st choice?  And how do you know this information?

    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.

    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
