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.


Invitation from Matthew Lloyd

I have received an Invitation from Matthew Lloyd to sign up membership of Essendon FC!! Any one else get one?

Addressed to me by name as a "keen Bomber supporter", I find that insulting as I hate them particularly after 2000 GF!!

How the hell did my name get on a Bomber mailing list???

I know I have nearly ran Lloydy over a couple of times - he was a bit slow and kept walking in front of my car while in rehab!

My friends who support the EFC would not even give them my name a a joke as I am 2nd generation lifelong Demons supporter.

##### rude !!! I have to get me name off that list ASAP. Dont want to be linked to one of the cellar dwellers.

I am also letting MFC know.

Maybe Bombers having snagged Mel Michael are going poaching other clubs members???

I thought I was the only one!

It was a very formal letter, and it was addressed to me. I don't know how they got hold of my name.

Needless to say I spat on it, tore it up and threw it in the bin. Ugh, I felt dirty for just having read it.

I'm not satisfied you did enough!

It's not like it's a total fire ban or anything.

Is it 3 mobile phone the connection between all of us?

Nope. I'm with Optus, and I haven't received any letters asking me to donate to the 'rebuilding fund of Princess Park', or to join the CFC.

I'm really interested to know how they got hold of our names :wacko:

Nope its not that! I have telstra mobile and optus home phone so is not 3!

If I knew which house was Matty Lloyd's I could have stuffed them in his mail box last night!! Wouldnt be seen with their mail in daylight!!! :lol:

I like the idea of sending mail back to bummers without stamp !! ;)

We are everywhere. We're bigger than the UN.

You guys are lucky you just got a letter about membership, if we really don't like you, you could wake up with a horses head in your bed.

Everywhere just like the asian flu epidemic.....Softer thas the UN...

...and a horses head in the bed would be preferable over Chris Heffernan on any given day thanks.

Yes I got one to. I'm not even with 3. I was shocked and thought how did they get my details. I actually rang the number to there client services department and said I have no idea how you got my name but I don't even barrack for Essendon. They then took me off the database. They are the club I hate the most and I hate Lloyd so much. I couldn't believe it. They wasted so much money sending out letters to the wrong people.

yeh i got that letter and an email....i replied to the email asking how they got my personal details and also let it slip that i was a dees member and they couldnt pay me to be a bummer!

they called me a 'passionate bommer fan'.....that made me want to throw up!

i wonder if they know that they are sending this crap to supporters of other clubs?

maybe it has something to do with where you live...im in essendon...maybe thats why?? but then why didnt anyone else in my family get one?

Should we let our membership department know there is an email/letter war out there? Maybe the press might be interested as well. What do we think? I am still annoyed 3 days later.

Is everyone giving their details to bomber blitz? in order to participate in the forum. then they would be mailing stuff to u?

I'm sure the MFC staff have NOTHING better to do than hear about how Essendon sent you some promo material ;)

Unless Essendon somehow got MFC member details and decided to send out letters to them - which would stupid and not just in a business sense - I doubt they'd care.

What's the common thread with you guys? Someone suggested the forum but I find it odd you'd give your address when signing up on a forum, although it could be just me =p

From Sydney

I have never received anything personally from the swans to join up to their club

But in the Daily Telegraph the only AFL news they report on is Sydney Swans, and purchase a 3 ticket pass to Telstra Stadium to watch the swans

But thankfully, I can get AFL news via big footy, hearld sun and news about the demons from this website

they got the our information from ticketmaster.....

I take it you know this as fact?

Did any of you guys tick the box (assuming you book on-line) that you agree to receive promotional material? That is code for telling them (Ticketmaster) to sell your personal details to any trustworthy organisation that has something to sell you that you don't want. You'll have to tell them to de-list you (something seekers and most other posters here wish essendon had done to Heff before we traded for him).

they also sent me a email so i replied to that and asked how essendonfc got my details..

last year when melb played essendon at TD i remember that we werent able to buy tickets at the gate or something so i was forced to use ticketmaster...im assuming thats when they got my details....however i dont recall clicking any boxes as i hate getting those 'promotional emails'

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
