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.

A quote from today's Age article:

"People who know me will say I'm a loyal person and I can honestly say I gave everything to the Melbourne football club in the two years I was there and did everything thing I could do to help that club while I was there".

Translation

I am loyal to my dad Phil and to the highest bidder. I used THAT CLUB to my advantage to extract maximum monetary value whilst giving least in return. Not a bad result for an indifferent two seasons at THAT CLUB. So why does everybody hate me?

Pity, that the first casualty of war & mercenary's, is the Truth...

I would bet my left one on that very point. Went up to sydney to "view the facilities" with Dad, and never came back.

I wonder whether anyone is yet to open his old locker at AAMI Park?

Or just express posted a parcel to Breakfast Point.

Fair chance he'd already cleared out his locker Wyl

Cheers

Why, oh why, are people still rambling on about a disloyal EX demon? Get over it. He's gone and we will benefit.

Why, oh, why are people still trying to stifle our enjoyment.

If you object to Tom Scully threads, there are many places you can go to on this site without being confronted with discussion about the little [censored] and his dysfunctional family. This doesn't happen to be one of them.

Now, is anyone looking forward to tonight's game?

Not sure that "brief" is accurate DC1 but certainly back from the dark side.

The trouble is they are dealing with the dark side (C and W )

He actually could, if he had the courage, eek back a little respect by at least saying something along the lines of .... "look, it wasn't ideal the way certain aspects of it went down. If I could go back and change a few things or re-word some of what I said, I would" ... or perhaps even an "I can understand if the Melbourne fans are a bit aggrieved" etc ... He could be deliberately vague but get that type of point across. Show a bit humility and god forbid, honesty!

But there's none of that. Not even a hint. Quite the opposite ... he seems quite happy to portray himself as a victim.

Real estate .... Ha!

I find it very interesting that $cully always likes to portray himself as the victim in all these articles & press conferences.

It is so far from the truth, I wish a journalist had the balls to ask him about his March 5 presser. None of what he said there had ANY truth.

Dunno if you heard Ox interview him on SEN straight after he announced his defection. Ox pretty much confronted him on the fact that he had called Tom as "gone" earlier in the year. $cully was upset and tried to turn it on Ox by asking him if he was "questioning my integrity". So he was essentially taking that tack of trying to look like the victim. It had me squirming...I am very uncomfortable in the fact that this bloke ever wore an MFC Guernsey. He gave nothing but lip service in 2 years at MFC. He is delusional about how it has played out. Not a person in the footy community with half a melon would look at this bloke and not think "scumbag".

all the contrition will come up in the lead-up to the clash with the demons.

shame he committed to gws back in november, 2011.

i think he's going to be a fabulous player, but i hope he never tastes a premiership, and meanwhile viney, and the two kids we pick up with our compo picks, play in an historic era for the melbourne football club and drink in all the champagne of success that scully never does.

anyway, i expect him to, after six years, say 'i was really proud of being part of this fine club and helping establish it...and now i'm going back to richmond'.

Spending my lovely saturday night watching the NAB cup game between the Dogs and The Giants and I am honestly wrapped that $cully packed his bag and left our wonderful club. Done absolutely nothing and is soft as his dads left testicles. Doesnt chase and waits for easy balls to come out of a pack. Good to see GWS getting ripped off by the Scully family cause clearly the kid is not worth $6million.

Lets face it his only trait is his running ability otherwise he has nothing else.

Certainly won't say that he can't play, but he was poor in that first NAB cup hitout. I gave him 1 effective disposal. Healy canned him over one incident where he got caught with the ball and said that a good player would have got away. He had 5-6 possessions and a number of clangers. Hope that is his best game for the year.

Interesting that Ward and Davis were both poor as well.

Yes The Ox did get stuck in, i remember that well. I was talking more of the press articles, all the journalist's tip toe around the issue considering when Phil signed..& when Tom came home from China.

The Ox was spot on and little Tom knew it.

As much as I hate to say it, his hard work ethic and fitness will see him to be a fine player. Having said that, I hope the next COD/Battlefield game has an option to photoshop faces onto your enemies. A bunch of dirty little scully bastards running around in my sights would bring so much joy.

I must admit to waiting for the match tonight to start. New Foxtel and such.

There was no joy in seeing football, I was surprised how much venom I felt for Scully. I just looked for him the whole quarter then turned off. It brought me right back to one Brian Wilson playing for St Kilda shaking his fist at the members after kicking a goal circa 1991.

I just listened to Col Garland's interview with Matt Burgan on the MFC website.

Dead set, that guy was an inspired selection. I love him. If I could give Scully any advice, it would be to listen to that interview and then reflect on why someone like Col Garland is in the leadership group and why he will most likely go down as a really important player in this club's history.

Garland strikes me as a considered thinker and a selfless individual.

In short, a real team player.

Just watched it and you're not wrong. Impressive stuff.

    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
