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.

For years the only time I hear from him is when he shoots me a snarky text after a Melbourne loss. Especially if it’s at the hands of Carlton.
🤔 Funny thing, I haven’t heard from him in quite a while. 😁

You may not again in my lifetime.

Can I ask

is Nigel Farage the UK pollie, is he a secret contributor to this thread and if so what is his moniker?

he is all over the Banana Republik thing.

We don’t allow idiots on here, so no, he is not a contributor.

If I can remember Carlton correctly, they had some success in the 80's. Also a few good coaches had gone there and failed big time. I pity any Carlton coach and player. It a very thankless task.

They have been ordinary since the league cracked down on paper bag payments. That made it very difficult for them to go out and buy the best players. They failed to adapted to the new system in the similar way that the MFC did in the 60'S.

Indeed, it has been fantastic watching them suffering over the years. If only it could last another 57 years.

The problem is that their golden era was at a time when football coverage was restricted to match of the day replays on a Saturday.

All people really got to watch on a weekend was their premiership third quarter comeback. Hence why they have so many enduring supporters.

20 years (and counting) in the doldrums, a deeply ingrained delusion that they are some type of latent super power (when they are likely to fall out of the big 4 Melbourne clubs the way they are going) and an impatience that prevents them from  fixing the joint up properly should see the status quo prevail for some time.

I won't hear another cross word against Nigel.

Despite your sullying of his good name, he is a generous and thoughtful soul as is demonstrated by this video of him sending birthday wishes to his former MEP constituents.

Hope it’s okay to post this here despite it being not about footy. But it’s also not about hwfua, so hopefully it’s all good. 🙂

This is how I first saw today’s HS back page, ie, upside down…

I intentionally posted the pic upside down, Jontee. That’s how I first saw it. Otherwise, you see it’s The Big Show’s bat. 😁

Now I find out that HWSNBN, thinks he is a cricket umpire as well and once called our beloved Captain Maxie for chucking.

How dare he suggest that Maxie would bend the arm when bowling.

It was probably because he got a close up look of him bending his Back whilst Chucking.

    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
