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.


Liam Jurrah interview on Eddie Maguire 11/3/12

Seems that either Eddie would have contacted Bruce Hearn Mackinnon, or Bruce contacted Eddie, in order to arrange the interview. But who contacted who first?

If it was Eddie who contacted Bruce (as I suspect), then he's gone against protocols, has manipulated the situation and it's clearly poor form from a fellow Club President who should know better.

If it was Bruce, then I imagine he would now know he has made an error or judgment in allowing and inviting it to happen.

I'm pretty sure Eddie has said a few times the Bruce contacted him.

My theory is that Bruce is not happy with Melbourne and thinks that the best thing for Liam is to get him to Collingwood.

As others have said, a long bow to draw when you'd think their priority would be keeping Jurrah out of jail, not getting him to a new club.

With regard to Liam moving to Collingwood I think we are all overlooking one point here. Despite being shy and quiet when he meets new people, Liam is very close to Aaron and the other boys and genuinely is thankful that MFC gave him another opportunity after Collingwood put him in the too hard basket. We should not believe that he is some puppet of BHM who is conniving to have him back at Collingwood (albeit he maybe with some little prodding form Eddie). Liam is a strong person with definite views on his life. Don't underestimate his own intelligence. I dont believe we should be so condescending.

Now that Cameron has confirmed that the Club did not know about the interview almost as it went to air, I think the fireworks will now really start. For Eddie to be virtually called a liar we will now see Eddie come out swinging. Let's see what other outrageous statements he will make. How long will it be before AFL reins him in. Fat chance.

Lets put is succintly...... Eddie talks a lot of sh!t when it comes to fidelity. He himslef seems to get alwfullyconfused as to what hat hes wearing but then it really doiesnt mater cos hes alwats Eddie. He is when all comes down to brass tacks a journalistic hyhena. He has done many good things both for the Filth and footy in general. Thats the good Eddie. the bad Eddie just cant ignore the smell of blood.. What irks me ( and many others ) is his self rightessnessand duplicity of standards. he seems totally oblivious to his own hyprocrisy

Had he been born 2050 years ago Im sure hed not onlyhave run withthe Romans but interviewed JC on the day and sold the story to the Juruselam Times. !!!

The irony of much is he is oft quoted as suggestiing some pull their heads in or have a good hard look at themsleves when really its he who ought to.

The man has no scruples.

I found this interview with Rudeboy very enlightening.

https://theconversat...us-tragedy-5863

You know hwta, as enlightening, or reinforcing of known facets as it might be it does nothing and goes nowhere to explaiining the , for mine, bizarre tact taken by Jurrah and Mckinnon upon returning. . There was obviously a duty to self but there was also a very large duty to the MFC which seems to have gone by the board.

This was a exercise in Spin. Eddie everywhere saw an inside run and took it with glee. This smacks of self serving history rewriting to me.

Im disappointed on many fronts.

No one made him have a beer after all.

Rudeboys colours have lowered bythis affair in my view.. Jurrah is very much the man belwteen a rock and a hard place , but we are all the keepers of our deeds. thats life

Is there any way a mod can change "tonight" in the title to whatever date it was?

He's a great advocate for Liam.

But Liam needs a legal advocate.

And he needs to let Cam Schwab do his job and not try to do what's best for Liam.

Because in no reality is "what's best" - an interview with Eddie McGuire before a court date on a dumbed down manslaughter charge.

I don't think the fireworks will start. It's not worth exploding over.

Or stooping to McGuires level.

The crap slinging he is famous for is not something we would bother to engage in. It would fly in the face of the high integrity aspect of the red and blue print.

Integrity - something Edward struggles to grasp the concept of.

Moderator or originator: Can you change "tonight" in the header to March 11.

Thanks

    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
