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.

I suspect this could go the way of painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge. By the time the moderators have achieved their wanton destruction, there will be another 800+ pages to filter ...

This thread is the equivalent of Seinfeld.  God knows how you would apply a definition to any discussion in order to be able to qualify any derailing.

Bit like applying a grid to chaos theory really.

It's been a blast, 5 years guys :)  Everyone I've ever had a disagreement with or rubbed the wrong way I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to, and everyone who's made me laugh (DA, Ethan, BBO, Biffen, rpfc) I love you guys.   This is me,  moving on. 

Adios muchachos, ladies :)

I'm sure we can arrange some Russian contacts for you to hack the Demonland archive before then, daisy. The two lovely young ladies from Ekaterinburg who have promised to complete my ménage and whose airfares I sent a while ago both have brothers in the computer business, or so they've told me. Of course I haven't heard from them since then but I'm sure I will soon.

Donald taught me how to argue  my way to scandal.

Now that he has achieved power you seem to be adopting a Hillary like approach to governance.

Couple this with the outbreak of politeness on Demonland and I am all at sea.

The world grows more complex by the minute.

Btw- I use the NBN at my meth lab in the rural backwater- the service is surprisingly good and should allow for multiple high speed banning and admonishments.

I am excited by the new regimes of political incorrectness and political correctness we live in.

None can existed without the other it seems.

Keep well good Dr and never let anyone say you are not fair and just.

Thank you Biff, but I'm sure you can exempt yourself from occasionally publicly censuring me, especially in BBO's absence. I don't mind given your expert command of the sarcastic; and besides there's plenty of cheap 'likes' that'll be available for you from some of the petty revanchists around the place.

As far as that lab is concerned I trust you'll be careful. A member of the leather-jacketed fraternity set up a lab in the roof space of a house he rented a few years back just down the road from us. He was sure (perhaps like you) that no one would notice the comings and goings in this far-flung place, on which point he was correct. Nobody noticed the fire, either, until the house was nearly gone.

too true doc. it's not for me but. it's for all those historians of the 22nd century. i'm sure though that all our collective posts on bananas will certainly exceed 4 pages, so i am at a loss to understand the optimistic target being set. far too orwellian a task i fear. pass me the soylent green please, the popcorn has all been eaten

Nbn

National bloody nuisance.

An absolute joke. Was severely compromised from the get go. Whoever designed it was a nong. 

Spent 12 years as a systems engineer and our little band of brethren  even when i gave it away in 2005 could see its inbuilt limitations. Only stupidity and arrogance combined with ignorance has allowed it to still be happening. Should have chucked out and started again....(before they actually started )

Billions wasted.Beuracratic bs of highest order

This post got buried in the rush after the whispering fellow put the frighteners on everyone around here but I wanted to add that it's nice to have a professional eye coincide with my far more amateur one, 'bub.

I've scratched together a few technical perspectives over time and I wrote to nbn (I'm happy with their use of the lower case; more appropriate to their level of service) with a few questions about the location and capacities of the local fixed wireless tower. Received a page and half from them setting out my 'rights' under the FOI Act and likely schedules of fees etc etc. In another lifetime I used to handle FOI complaints for the Commonwealth Ombudsman so I was tempted to dust off my knowledge and make life miserable for them for a while but I doubt whether it'd achieve anything so I'm handing it all over to the local mp. Will I get anywhere? I doubt it. Even if we get a more reliable service it will only be a more reliable joke, as you say.

don't know if it is any help to you doc, but i believe nbn just recently launched their own satellite. i seem to remember reading that this would allow them to use new technology for a better faster solution for satellite users. i didn't pay much attention to it at the time (as it wouldn't affect me) but there may be some promise in it for you in the future. you might like to pursue that line of investigation? there again my memory might be wonky.

Thanks daisy. They made a lot of noise some months ago about the second satellite going up in October. I haven't heard anything since and I presume as a customer I'll get hear when it comes on stream. The satellite will be ok (albeit with various interruptions and slowdowns) until the wet starts but we can spend weeks under the sort of cloud that denies us any connection. Meanwhile we've hung onto a telstra mobile broadband service (marginal anyway). Between them we get by, but at around $170 a month. It's all a bit mad.

Sloony has clearly decided to flee the United States of Trumperica and run away to an isolsted island somewhere in the Pacific. No, not Manus Island. A little to the left of Manus. It's an uncivilised populace, not as uncouth as Trumperica, but savage nonetheless. Where the locals survive only by raising livestock and digging up the mineral riches. I believe it's called Straya.

Good Luck Sloony. You'll need it.

Don't leave DL now JC you may need the virtual insanity of this site to distract you from the reality of life.

Also the rise of the Dees will provide some joy after the frustrations of the last 5 years you have been on site so the humour will no doubt rise to a new level also.

An alternative view is always welcome on this site where locker room banter prevails. Disagreement is appreciated to prolong interest and awaken satirical reference. Failure to rub someone the wrong way is a sign of intellectual incapacity and allows those with the sharpest wit to retort.

Hope your moving on has sufficient flexibility to visit occasionally

    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
