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!

I hope this wasn't an intentional ad placement.

disagree. He definitely didn't mean to punch him in the face. Those swinging right hands are usually targeted into the chest/top of the jumper region but gaff missed. Gaff certainly didn't look at him and punch him in the face. not sure what vision you were watching. 

I was watching the close up vision of the punch. he was getting pushed, then he stopped, steadied, looked at Brayshaw and punched his face. So you contend he was going to punch his chest in this round-house/hook motion?  it would have hit his shoulder if so.

My point overall, is why do we need to straight away feel sorry for Gaff?  in the weeks to come maybe we can see his side of things and have some sympathy but at the moment the sympathy should be with Brayshaw and Gaff should cop his punishment - as he is

Nat Jones and JLT out of contract end 2019. Bernie and Pedo this year. Ballic gone. 

Does this leave a possible massive war chest to chase S May or Josh Kelly- or both?

Don't think so.  none of those are on big money

If we have planned correctly however we should be in a position to offer big money should a star become availble

Given Gus"s response in media today maybe leave Gaff alone.

Couldn't imagine any Petracca- like chin tickling between Gus and Gaff.

 

Then, those two Crows hated each other. 

Haven't seen or heard of anything @radar- what was his response?

also, what's the crows comment in reference to?

Think I read it in THE AGE - contradicted Nesbitt.  Hard to see them being team mates.

As a former Arts/Philosophy student of a left-wing university, I find this 'coward' terminology in reference to Gaff's act as problematic.

If Gaff had signalled his intention to hit Brayshaw, and Brayshaw squared up, would the hit then be heroic?

Morton was once considered a coward for running away from an aggressor. If he had stopped and decked the Port player, would that then be brave?

Also, many people wouldn't have the cajones to take a swing at an unsuspecting person. It arguably takes a lot of courage to do something like that.

Please discuss (300 word limit and submissions are final).

That was fairly soon after the incident and he still sounded a bit shaken by it.

His Dad has recently come out to say all is forgiven and they want to move on. Also heard Hamish Brayshaw will be organising a meeting between them both to 'move on'.

If Gaff wants to become a Dee there will be no issues between him and Angus.

Two words - or maybe one.  Bull [censored], or [censored].

Not surprising really. The West Australian is another one of Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers of anything for a buck fake news.

If we get Gaff it will actually make the Fremantle meeting, next year, interesting!

Gus told you that has he, or you are just speculating as if it is a fact?

I could ask the same question of people saying Gus won't want Gaff at the Dees.

It's all ridiculous innuendo. These are grown men playing football, the will be able to move on from this.

Angus and Gaff are meeting to clear the air. I'd think Gaff is def considering joining Melbourne otherwise i wouldn't see the point in meeting Angus. I also think it's important to consider people around the situation have said it won't be an issue (e.g. Jonesy and Mark Brayshaw saying they forgive him)

I detected that in Jonesy response to the Gaff hit, he gave a very diplomatic response to the question, if this is the case Re clear the air talks.

I heard that, but then shortly after it was said that Gaff will meet Andrew. Not sure if there is some confusion in the reporting.

If he is meeting Gus, then we are likely in the picture to get him, you would think.

I've seen it mentioned on here that Gus and Gaff are meeting. Is it correct? I read today that Hamish and Andrew are meeting him in Perth next week but wouldn't mind clarification of the Gus meet.

    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
