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!

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)

DL and Redleg beat me to it.

I wonder if Gaff will chat to Angus when he is in Perth next week? And I wonder if Gus will go over early

Where did you hear this? It's been said a couple of times here but all I've heard is that Hamish is organising for Andrew and Andrew to catch up

It was mentioned last night on AFL360.

So you think Mark Brayshaw is being diplomatic rather than genuine in his take on the incident and his plea for forgiveness? Did you even listen to him on the radio? Sheesh!

You've been devouring too many G&Ts on your holiday!

I'll take the man at his word rather than insinuate cheap angles.

I think he is being both diplomatic and genuine

You can take a different opinion

This is the sort of stuff that the moronic media along with the AFL would consider to be some sort of preconceived plan put in place by MFC to ensure smooth transition. I would leave it alone knowing what we know about how these bast%$#& operate.

Bottom line is this:

Shocking act, deserved 8 weeks.

Doesn't make him a bad bloke and the suspension and fall out is punishment enough.

Would still be superb to have him at Melbourne.

You would assume Gus would, in time, also move on from what has happened and welcome him to the side with open arms, as will we.

I can’t understand why Gaff would meet with Gus. It’s none of Gus’ business, to be frank. According to Mark Brayshaw, Hamish and Gaff are close mates, so it would make sense that Hamish would arrange a meeting between the two Andrews to help each get peace of mind, but I can’t see why anyone owes Gus an explanation. I reckon someone has just got their wires crossed and the misinformation has spread like wildfire as it does.

I can't confirm where i heard it but it was no mistake i heard Gus and Gaff, Gaff is currently in Melbourne so it makes sense.

I've heard from a good source that Andrew, Andrew, Hamish, Gus, Elvis and Nessie had all played a round of lawn bowls last week...

It is a good idea for Gaff to clear the air with Angus also. He is Andrews BIG brother!

And it is better for him to do it sooner rather than later. Before he signs with the Dees.

It would be a shame if Gaff didn’t attend the Brayshaw Family golf day next week! So they can hit golf balls at him... ?️‍ And then bury him in a bunker!

I'm suprised a bigger deal hasn't been made out of our interest? Do the journo's not know or is our interest even genuine?

I've heard it repeated that North are the front runners.

I'll take it a step further and say I fully believe the umpires are taking on field instructions from a 3rd party via their headsets. The number of very late calls this year has skyrocketed, and in 1 particular game a voice could clearly be heard saying '15 seconds' when players were lining up on goal. The umpire would then yell to the kicker for the 15 seconds. Who was it?

Like the telemetry in F1... they could reset the engine via WiFi, if they wanted to...   Who's to say they don't interfere with the No 2 drivers car, late in the race ?

 

I don't like all the potential for interference over the airwaves, and via radio 'code', alerting the No2 driver to start to hold other drivers up.

 

Lets hope all Umpire communication goes direct to air.

I may be able to work with them, but it would be like the situation at Adelaide a few years back. 

Different sides of the changeroom and don’t ask me to socialise. 

Unlike many on here, i don’t think he missed. 

Gaff squared up Brayshaw and went Bang. 

If that were my brother lying on the ground, i couldn’t have a beer ? with Gaff

i would just want nothing to do with him, he crossed the line. 

But it will be fascinating to see what pans out, 

What IF it were your brother that went bang on Gaff ???

would you have a beer with your brother?

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?

Josh Kelly may be too expensive, in my imagination.???  radar.

But maybe Whitfield may not be as expensive?

 

sMay I reckon is a must this year, as OMc has regressed since lever got injured,,, so OMc I think, needs more time to mature... Re Finals.

Should he fly to Afghanistan and clear the air with Will too? He’s the biggest brother of all.

I get the need for Gaff to mend bridges with Andrew and why Hamish would want to facilitate it. I can see why Craig Gaff would reach out to Mark Brayshaw. I can’t see why anybody would involve Angus in any way. It has nothing whatsoever to do with him.

Moon he is beyond reaching, I think it’s time to let this one go... let him sink to the depths he seems to enjoy it down there.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
