  • 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.

The people have spoken, E25...

Perhaps you should listen to them.

DeezMan... E25 gets the 'gist' mate.

I know you guys were being vague, almost cryptic like but it was pretty obvious. Just understand it's in the best interests of the site and the people who run the site, as well as all members.

What HT said.

And you'll find, if you read this thread, I'm far from the only one with this opinion.

To say the "people have spoken" is an idiotic line. A few people have voiced their views.

I'll continue to listen to opinions, provided they are educated and considered.

Yours in this thread have been neither.

Things are never as good as they seem, nor are they as bad.

Geelong fans may have had the same attitude as you until the Stokes episode.

Theirs is a club full of highly-credentialled leaders, with a strong club culture and respected football dept and board.

They have set the benchmark, yet they are not immune.

Nor are we.

*face palm* You still do not get it, do you??

Read my original post again. You can only judge by what is in the present. Of course anything can happen in the future - that goes for anything in life!!! It's a flawed argument.

There's not time like the present and, at present, the Dees are being perceived in the public eye as "good guys" with minimal (if any) antisocial behaviour.

Mad Monday has passed and nor a murmur.

For me, this is not a debate about whether it (whatever it is) should be legal

I was getting sick of people making excuses for other people who make bad choices and illegal choices (and not just once)

Arguing it should be illegal or not is avoiding the issue of personal choice and responsibily and consequences

If you are not very familiar with drugs law in Victoria and Australia the I would suggest you take a closer look as they are very draconian, grossly unfair and should be changed. For example, if your housemate was selling/trafficking drugs from his bedroom and you had no idea about it you can still be charged and face several years imprisonment for trafficking drugs if the drugs are found at your house and a number of people have been jailed for this. Can you imagine being jailed because your housemate was a dealer but kept his trade well hidden from you?! In order to get escape a conviction you basically have to hope you housemate confessed otherwise you would be up [censored] creek.

I know its way off topic but I have very little faith in much of our legal system and don't like it when people base their opinions on 'the law'

What are you talking about?

I didn't give any opinion on whether recreational (or other) drug use should or should not be legal/illegal, I said that was for a different forum.

I didn't talk about any drug dealer's housemate or any other hypothetical rubbish you can come up with.

Go back and read all my posts from the beginning and understand the context I responded to

If you want to discuss changing the law then yes, you are off-topic, and no, I'm not saying the law is always correct.

Bump.

Speaking of touch wood.

How did the Demons go on Mad Monday?

Not even a murmur, Godemons.

They went to Riva in St Kilda and then on a pub crawl in which my mates' bro was working at one of the pubs! He said they were a great group of guys, caused no trouble and had a great time. All were easy to talk to as well.

I heard from JWatts the boys love the JD & Coke and as much as the boys tried they couldn't get Tom Scully to have a drink.

Young Tom certainly has his head screwed on properly. We are lucky to have him.

Has Sculls never had a drink in his life?

So he says.

Something along the lines of vowing to never to drink so he could make his dream of playing AFL.

Scares me a little, cos when guys like that finally get pressured into getting on the sauce when they are a little older (and they all do), things tend to go a little bit ben cousins.

I'd like to think he'll have a bit of champagne when he wins his first flag.

He'll be fine though. Gotta give him credit for his strength of character up until this stage, in spite of the peer pressure the boys at the club are already putting on him!

Very committed lad Scully is. Just hope that Ben Cousins affect doesnt occur, but he doesnt seem like that kind of person to do that sort of stuff. A champion in the making.

Geez that's being brought to the table already??? Pretty extreme!

18-19 years of age and a 21-gamer. Who knows what may happen... but he has publicly said he doesn't get on the alc and you can tell that the kid looks a VERY disciplined and controlled lad.

Looking forward to Sculls being a MASSIVE role model at his peak. Not that I'm bringing THIS to the table already... :)

Deezman just saying Scully will never be like Ben Cousins.

I would seriously doubt Sculls will associate with that kind of behaviour. Very smart, professional guy.

Cousins was on the drugs at 17, before he even got drafted.

WTF are the parallels here?? :wacko:

I don't get it either. The kid won't drink alcohol so he can play better footy and now he is setting himself up for a slide into drug abuse and disgrace according to some. Geez this site gets strange in the off season.

Sometimes they get a bit carried away with the "getting intoxicated" side of things.

I said "a little bit".

No need to take everything so literally and seriously.

Chillaxxx guys.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
