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.

Is it possible the State Government always expected to "take a bath" with it? Wasn't the idea to build the Stadium as an anchor tenant to encourage development around it? 

the State government maybe but I doubt it ... this was the days of privatization and efficiency dividends ... certainly the original bond holders did not expect to lose out.

The stadium was never really part of the  "subsidy" side of the Docklands business case. I will agree however that the movie production precinct was. This has been moderately successful but has always required heavy government subsidy simply because the movie companies play locations off each other for bigger subsidies and tax breaks.

At least with the coming update of the stadium the State Government have admitted it's a straight out A$250M gift. So I assume no fancy bond issues this time around.

I find stadium deals very interesting so DD please give me the benefit of your wisdom. In the US the stadium deals are mainly made public which makes it a lot easier to understand. Here you have to delve into the accounts of the participants or as is usually the case wait for the liquidator's report !!

No... if you check I have always said that AFL clubs will leave poker machines behind as it is in direct conflict with their community obligations.  The next debate is over sports betting and its insidious affect on the game and the young. Of course that is more an AFL level issue.

Ok thanks

No we are undergoing an immersive and interactive experience !!

BTW you do know that most of the club songs are rip offs of US military songs. At least Fitzroy/Brisbane have the French National anthem !!

As an artist, this thread has inspired me to make a comic based on Demonland users. Posters like Stuie can be villains; Ethan as the comedy relief.

Some people say I’d make a good Batman.

Did you know the Carlton mascot is actually based on Captain America?

Did you know that gas-guzzling, environment-polluting vehicle is actually responsible for 3/4 of the world's global warming?

On another note, the 2019 Demonland banner is ready.

Our fortress is to be renamed to Marvel Stadium after Disney bought the rights for the next 8 years. 

 

Marvel, or Martian ?

Apparently the AFL are looking into a clear Perspex styled Domed Roof.

Should make Marvin (Gill) very 'appy.

    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
