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.


The New Sponsors

I don't recall hearing anything about Footscray sidestepping this deal until reading this - what was reported IIRC, was that Polis was a Bulldogs supporter, that was all. They continue to have a major sponsor called Mission Foods that was signed up prior to us signing Hankook and kaspersky. I don't know how they could have tied up another jumper sponsor when Mission pay for both FOJ and BOJ. I think someone is making up some porkies that the Bullies were smart enough not to deal with them - there was never a deal on the table there

Some of you dreamers on here don't watch too many sports shows or just simply keep watching the cartoons. Ch 7 today (BT & his mate Darcy) spoke of the deal re EW and the fact that Footscray were smart enough to avoid them. Schwabb has had a year of epic fails, so you smoothsayers just want to ignore this fact and remain in reverse for another year. Get a grip on reality boys, easy to say keyboard warriors do this and do that, but where has it all got us with CS. Energy watch were not checked properly by us or Victory or the Rebels. We all made the same blunder...............fact. Footscray did not...............fact. Polis and his previous business efforts were just plain thin ice stuff, it was all there for anyone to check on!! Hello Schwabb. Does the truth hurt or are you just oblivious to the obvious. You need stronger facts, petals! This is the sort of stuff big wages are paid to senior management to ensure due diligence is always adhered to. Jeez we are rank amateurs in this regard.

Energy watch as a business has been very successful to my knowledge, he is just a racist biggot.

fair enough 1 out of 4 clubs thought he may be a dodgy guy.

Please explain the countries 3 largest energy providers working with him?

edit - sorry i don twatch a sunday morning football program lol.....seriously

I think that is always an issue if the Bulldogs had other commitments or other opportunities unlike MFC.

I am very wary of Eddie in terms of our club. It was he that started the $cully circus. And if Eddie helps you can be dam sure there will be quiet provisos as to how we deal with his club.

Eddie threatened war only 1-2 months ago.

Be wary Demons FFS.

I always thought GWS started the Scully circus.

Eddie made noise in the media and some people get suck in and call it "war".

MFC should be wary and should be looking for the best outcome for MFC and not the first outcome that comes along. This has potential to have "gifts" with hooks in it. If Eddie and Mitchell do succeed, it makes Schwab look lame in the process. And given we have strived and failed to snare the 2nd sponsor we have been looking for, its looks bad on the current administration.

Who is Harold Mitchell?

Given you have pushed your media experience I so often cant believe you asked that. He is one ofthe most powerful men in Australia and as ubiquitous in the media game as Eddie is in AFL.

Thing is, Still Waiting has provided no support for his "facts" and it seems he may be the only poster here who is aware of any consideration the Doggies may have given to EnergyWatch.

Eddie seemed dead serious about it in th Hun a couple of days ago. Don't quite know what to make of it - my gut feel is he genuinely wants to help

http://www.heraldsun...q-1226320149529

HOW " EMBARRASSMENT !!!!

this is ABSURD !!!!!!!! LAME BIG TIME..

HE is being sanctimonious & self serving !! to keep his profile UP.!! & succeeding in putting the MFC down ..

HAND THE HAT AROUND >>??

SERIOUSLY ..!!??

u guys don't get it..

we r not a junior development club for goodness sakes.

A high profile professional club does NOT NEED this crud.

excecs.. need to do their job properly is all,. with well known high profile successful co's.

or be sacked accordingly..

this should not be a footy show hand out for a backwater club "NEEDING CHARITY OR A WHIP AROUND"..!!!!!!

Harold Mitchell has had a regular talking spot on 774 for years speaking on media issues. He is frequently quoted in all media and he sits on a range of public institution boards and chairties.

He is a walking self promotion machine that crosses out of media into all circles of business. He has made a big issue of self promoting his weight loss battles about a year or two before he then started promoting his autobiography.

Amazing you are not aware of him. There you go.

Maybe get Qantas onboard (so to speak) The pitch- commitment to Australian market, both club & sponsor working with Asia , compete against Emirates (scums sponsor) who's trying to compete in Aus market, and tell Eddie to go shove it up his fat double chinned hole...

I think Masters would be a good sponsor to get on board. There just starting out in there quest to take on Bunnings and I think we would make a good fit for them.

Iselect making a big play in life insurance area and at 110% commission the earn they should be able to afford it....they also sell health insurance which every MFC supporter should buy given the trauma we are experiencing to date

Eddie does nothing that doesn't in the long term help CFC. Be absolutely wary of his gifts with strings attached with or without the AFL's nod of approval ie Queens Birthday gift of gate takings - all smoke and mirrors.

    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
