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.

Arrogant, CFC will suit the little mongrel.

Refused to shake a champions of the games hand in Kirk before the game. Haven't seen him have a touch yet either! Good riddens, probably why he is not the next MFC captain!

Ridiculous. He gave all he could to MFC, blood sweat and tears, including a large donation to keep us alive. He looked like a complete jack boot not shaking one of the fairest, hardest players of our era's hand but ridiculous.

I think its a case of if the shoe or in this case if the jumper fits. Maybe his true filthy colour is shining through.

haha very harsh brother, very harsh. Don't agree mate.

Honestly short of whacking someone from behind theres not much worse somebody can do in my eyes then not shake the hand of a champion when it is offered. I'm sure he didn't learn that lesson at the MFC. Maybe another sign of the "Team and culture" that good old juddy is attempting to build.

I must say I was annoyed McLean left as I respected him highly but after tonight i couldn't give a rats. That is the most disrespectful, arrogant, worthless thing I have ever seen. What harm is there in shaking the hand of a champion player. Poor effort Brock. Not good enough regardless of who you play for. It is just common decency and apparently Brock has lost his.

I think that is a bit over the top Tingles.. While I think he looked like a fair ye olde goose most "disrespectful, arrogant, worthless thing I have ever seen" is a bit of a stretch my goos man. I'd suggest Libba eye gouging and sniping Knights would top it, Matthews king hit on the Bruns, Solomon on Ling I'll add Lockett on Caven (exploding his face) etc etc are worth of comments like that.

memo to Carlton...'are your McLeans showing?'. Not so far. Am i missing things or has Mclean hardly touched the ball to 1/2 time. And good grief, what a dreadful match. I like one-on-one stuff but there's no one offering a target up forward.

Jetta looks good. They said he wasn't a great kick but he's hitting targets and he's quick. BP said he could have picked up Jetta as a rookie in 2008. Bummer.

Ok I missed this, he refused to shake his hand as the captain of CFC? (i.e. at the coin toss) or just as a player pre game?

Pregame in the centre square... McLean was in the middle. Kirk walked up to shake his hand. Mclean ignored it, spat into his own hands, Kirk just said "you won't shake my hand" (if I can lip read) and looked away like he didn't give a flying fig.

Yes that is fair but I think to someone who has done nothing at all except offer his good luck to him, to not shake his hand or even acknowledge him is just purely disrespectful. I mean no matter who you are if someone offers you their hand you shake it. Chris Judd always shakes opponents hands who does McLean think he is. Fairly certain he didn't pull stunts like that at the dees. Clearly he thinks he is better than he is. It's nothing personal I just cant stand arrogant or disrespectful acts like that.

Garry Lyon is also one that doesnt believe in shaking hands before the game

Another negative post all because he moved on ?

Thought we didnt allow these sort of posts or have we gone to the low level of Big Footy

This is the best place for demon supporters and i prefer it stay that way

Fair enough, he does not have to pre game, post match then dif, coin toss between captains yes.

Carey never did and snubbed Neitz If I remember right, I bet heaps of players don't, i use to play with players who wouldn't.

No big deal I think.

Wasn't there some one else who did this a few years ago and there was a massive media blow up over it?

I agree he looked like a fool not shaking, as I said before one of the fairest, straight ahead, best out of himself players of era's hands in a practice match. I'm not trying to be "disrepectful" but disrespect is one of the biggest [censored] statements sports people throw around these days. It seems to flow from the US sports were disrespect is high on everyones agenda and we've picked it up.

Jabba Jaw would like to say

David Neitz did this a few years ago in his 300th, to Nick Maxwell. I'm going to assume you all feel the same way about Neitz as you do McLean for his actions.

Like I stated earlier this is one of the lowest acts a footballer can do, if Neitz was not embarrased about this its says something about him.

1st round NAB cub for a new club is hardly a 300th not that changes anything!

Its become as bit of a trend during the season proper not to shake hands with the opponent. You don`t see it happen much at all. But in an Nab Cup match, arguably the most respected skipper in the AFL in the last decade makes 2 attempts to shake your hand and you respond by spitting in your hands, just reeks of CFC arrogance. Poor form Chook

We forgive Neitz because he's a club champion. We bag Mclean because he chose to go to carlton, he seems to be representative of the new carlton. All arrrogance but no substance. Good riddance! I love his first 3 quarters, carlton have no forward set up whatsoever and are in big strife. This is great to watch, just great.

    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
