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.

No. Never ever. I wonder how long this thread can hold out the 'other' thread in terms of posts and pages. I give it 7 days max.

Phew. Gotta come up for air. I’m at a very  murky point in this thread. Footy-wise 2011 was depressing, but just when I thought it couldn’t possibly get any darker, the season ends and yeah, it sinks to a new low. In particular, Old Dee is ready to throw the towel in. What’s also sad is posters saying maybe 2012 is our year to win the elusive flag, not knowing it’s still 10 years away. This, sprinkled throughout with next level wtf moments, makes for interesting reading, to say the very least. 
I’ve yet to ‘meet’ Special Robert. I sincerely hope he brings some cheer. 
OK, ima dive back in. If nobody hears from me before the end of the day, please send a search party. 😁

Just realised that might have looked like me asking you if it was sexist, Commodore! It was meant to be a nomination of AB to that less-gendered position but I should have realised you have it (and several others, no doubt?) wrapped up, Commodore. Is Vice-Commodore vacant?

Can someone tell me what this Sheilas playing cricket for The Ashes is all about? 

When I played cricket the Sheilas used to bring afternoon tea. Nice stuff too - jelly slices and quarter cut sangos............. and of course, they were there for the after game desert!  ( after a jolly good booze up )

Arrrrh the good old days. Why change a perfect system?

Calling @dieter ! 

Hey Skinny, I know you're a Brocken down hack fast bowler, so that makes you an authority.

See my above post and tell me your view on Shielas playing cricket.

I would also ask @Biffen  who claimed to be a batsman of some note but he's usually under the influence of drugs, so any reply is questionable.

A few facts first: I was the opening bowler, and opening batsman. I was not only the greatest living German cricketer, I was also one of the fastest bowlers on the planet. One batsman I bowled a bouncer to turned to the wicket keeper and said, Shivers, I heard that whistle...At the House of Ill Fame named after a prominent pastoralist whose first name was Rupert, I won the bowling Average one year, the All Rounder trophy the next and would have won the batting average the last year had not the captain run me out for 52 in my last innings.

As for afternoon teas and scones and jellies, what I know for sure is that during the tea break in a Sub District match against Balwyn - I was playing for Sunshine - I helped myself to a scone from the visitor's table and only discovered a bee had attached itself after it stung my cheek. I have had no time for afternoon tea breaks since.

As for the capacity of women to to play cricket, I admit I wouldn't know because I never ever watch it. I'm way too busy writing great litracha.

Regarding cricket you’ve won quite a lot, dieter.

I have never played cricket yet I won something that (with the utmost respect) kicks all your winning’s [censored]. I won ‘Classic Catches’ a few years ago and a year’s supply of KFC is pretty hard to beat! 🥳
The prize also included $2000, but that’s not nearly as exciting.

Forgot to gloat about winning $2000 😝

Oh, you correctly nominated the winning catch by someone else.

Not nearly so intriguing...

Geez Tim, sorry to disappoint. 🙃 Anyways, what an astounding feat that would’ve been, to have taken a prize-winning catch when I’ve never played cricket.  🤔

But when you're back in this briny on your Special Hunt, could you also keep an eye out for The Origin of the Bananas, please.

Define ‘OK’  
Just because I appear to be alive and well, doesn’t necessarily mean I’m not mentally scarred beyond reparation. 🤪

I’m only up to page 33 and the bananas discussion has only just taken off. But I tell you what, Tim… this thread should be made compulsory reading for students of advanced psychiatry. Seriously.

Give my regards to 57 and 64 on the way through (in fact the 50s and early 60s generally I hope are rewarding for you!)

And be sure to post your consulting hours when you finish, Doctor.

Sorry about that, Chief. 'Obtuse' is becoming my middle name?

Commodore = @Redleg(refer my earlier (obtuse) posts)

I was proposing he dreamt his encounter with S.Freud.

S.Freud wrote on the interpretation of dreams.

I was proposing that, in wading through this thread, you would have earned a doctorate in the advanced psychology you suggested was needed to do so.

I thus threw it to you to interpret Redleg's dream.

See, that wasn't so hard!😉

Was it?😮

    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
