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 enjoyed it EGD. Gutsy effort in crap conditions.

I'm not the only one asking the question re Scully.

OK but your position on Scully is pretty clear. Do you honestly think he didnt sing the song with his team mates cos hes goin to GWS? HA HA HA laughable....

I've seen guys with knee recos, concussion, broken bones make it to the circle for the song. It is slightly strange. The only excuse for it is if he's left the ground for x rays or something.

Except the song wasn't sung in the rooms, it was sung in the cool room up on the ground.

Scully was in the rooms getting treatment, and probably had no idea the boys were going to sing the song up there. WTF was he meant to do? Run out of the rooms mid treatment after guessing the players weren't going to come into the rooms for the song? FFS, why are we making such a big deal about it!

Oh no, Scully farted, quick he's going to GWS, get your booing voice ready! :rolleyes:

Must be gone then.

:rolleyes:

Just had a thread deleted with 3 worthless replies like yours....... All I asked was why Scully would not join the huddle with his boys to sing our song. I have seen countless players join in with bad injuries including Grimes who had a broken foot whilst on crutches. I wasn't suggesting he is off to GWS in fact I have always thought he'd stay and simply was concerned and all I got was smart a## dribble as replies. Thanks.

It's getting ridiculous isn't it? You can't even ask a simple question about the guy anymore without the censors stepping in.

It's a valid question.

Stupid reply thinking everyone is on the page that he must be gone cos he didn't sing the song. I just noticed he wasn't there and wondered if he was hurt more badly than first thought, back up a bit.

Here here and it is so true, you mention Scully and so many members or moderators jump down your throat assuming you must be against Scully or sure he's leaving. Just and observation guys. If Trenners went off in the last with a knee in the back and didn't join in the song and I asked why he wasn't there? Would you delete my thread?

Valid in what sense RR? We all know why you raised it, but as I said, you also probably saw reds under the bed in the 60's.

If Col Sylvia or Stef Martin didn't show up, I'd ask the same question.

Other people noticed and asked as well.

It's rare for a player not to front for the club song unless they can't get off a stretcher or have gone to hospital.

If you've played footy or been around football clubs, you would know this.

Give it a rest and go and check under your bed... I heard there may be some reds under it.

With what we now know about Eastern Europe and its structure and influence following the breakdown of the Soviet bloc, it is now generally acknowleged that there were in fact truly

Kinda the wrong thread for anything too rational.....

Come on guys, I am sure there was a very reasonable explanation to him not being there but I can only imagine the reason the other thread was

deleted was to stop the endless spread of Tom Scully threads and keep all opinions no matter what in the one place. Nothing more conspiratorial than that.

WTF?? Because of how you are going about it... just a simple "he is probably just still getting treatment" would have done it, but as soon as you mention Scully around here you are shot down with fast witted replies, a question about any other would have got a normal response.

Then how about we just go with your rational response and say.....

"he is probably just still getting treatment", which I'm sure is absolutely accurate.

And we all move on :) !!!

Oh, I took your comment as an attempt at facetious humour. It wasn't?

No, it was an account of a far more probable explanation than your idiotic, irrational and frankly boring need to turn anything Scully related into a negative.

Move on and just wait patiently until this contract issue is resolved. You're boring everyone half to death with this repeated [censored].

You don't know more than any of us on this matter, in fact, you probably know less, so just shut the hell up about it until you have something new and proven to add, and stop negatively portraying a MELBOURNE FOOTBALLER (and yes, he is still a Melbourne footballer).

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
