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.


Go and get Gaff!

He swung a punch spontaneously- he wouldn’t have had time to think about where it may have landed. A poor defence. The fact that landed where it did and caused the damage that it did makes him culpable whatever the supposed intention. He has forfeited the right to play again this year - but I hope he is allowed to move on after he’s served his time.

Agree. Just because he works in the media doesn't mean he can't speak his mind about the media.

Troy Maclure being clever suggesting he'd best not bite the hand that feeds him if he not want to sleep with the fishies.

Sure if he was taking a swipe directly at his employer.

Here is Campbell Brown's reply.

Gaff has flown to Melbourne for several reasons;

1. To front up to the tribunal like a good man and accept his punishment and give his apologies;

2. To meet with the Dees and tell them he is coming next year and discuss his guernsey number.

3. To play golf with Angus and Jonesy and discuss club chores for 2019, and

4. To hang out with The Bugg.

Oh! and;

5. Tell north he ain’t coming.

Can you summarise? Was he paraphrasing Demons FD position, or his personal position. Would the club let his personal feelings prevent them from adding to the club's chance of a flag?

Jonesy said the exact opposite today. Said it would be awkward at the start but "water would go under the bridge".

I didn't have the same take of Gus' comments, tbh. 

But Gus was very strong on the penalty.  Gus said:  "I will be very upset if he gets less than 7 weeks, very upset."  @ about the 10.00 minute mark of the podcast.

Gus is clearly and rightly not happy.

Edit:  Gus also said that his brother, Andrew did not play golf with Gaff last week...

This whole thing is very emotive, even Pavlich and Ross Lyon are being a little 'expansive' with the truth, both saying that the hit was 100 meters off the ball, blah blah....

You can clearly see it's only about 20-30 meters in front of the ball.

Media and Journos seem to be getting carried away in the hype,... Can't recall an AFL season with so much going on this late in the season!!!

Far be it for me to comment, but an apt sentence would be until Andrew returns to football.( Brayshaw that is )

I reckon it will be 5 weeks. All this talk of 12 months, police charges etc is a joke. What a soft society we have become. 

Five weeks .... what, so, if the Eagles bravely battle through without their star mid, he can play in the GF?

Utter BS.  

However many weeks he gets it must be enough for him not to play again this season.

You're right, we are such a soft society for thinking that punching someone and breaking teeth and jaws is not worthy of severe punishment. We should ease up on domestic violence, one punch strikes and drink driving too. Soft!

A certain ex AFL player benefited from our softly softly judiciaries views on domestic violence it has just been reported.

How can people want to be the hanging judge on hits in an aggressive physical contact game and at the same time as a nation we condone mentally training our young men to be paid Killers for the armed forces or lately our police forces.?

 

And then these armed forces folk when they get home are de-arranged ticking time-bombs, in the right circumstances.

We talk about terrorists coming back here as dangerous, yet we train our own of a similar ability.

 

....  having our cake, and eating it as well.

some people will always find ways to barrack for their own views... no matter what.  without need of question, or a mirror.

Are you seriously suggesting that we should not have a defence force trained to do hard things when necessary in the defence of our country? Or maybe you mean not letting them back into our society once they have put their lives on the line because they have been trained to kill bad people?  Just what do you mean?

Can't say I see a police escort in those photos. I see Gaff bypassing the media at the gate by getting a lift in a ute, maybe driven by airport staff. Looks more like Gaff's support person standing behind him.

But, of course, the media scrum are pizzed off at being snubbed, so any sensational headline is therefore acceptable to them.

The Hun online now saying it was a 'security escort', so even they have toned it down. Great comments under that tweet too.

Edit. And The Age says Gaff was "taken directly from the tarmac to a waiting car by airport staff to avoid a throng of media in the airport."

Hardly a police escort for fear of his life. But that's the media... and lazy people believe it.

    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
