  • 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.

Can this thread be merged with the no-BS no-TS one? As everyone seems to have officially gone round the twist.

You're correct Ted. This thread has gone on and on based on speculation. I think I have made a couple of posts but it is all BS untill we get some serious info/charges/responses. I hope it is soon.

From memory, carltank lost 11 in a row; the filth 10 in a row. Reckon their efforts outway ours by some margin.

Did they hold meetings about it too ?

Cheer up BH - you almost revel in the thought that we are the pits. Perhaps understandable in a passionate supporter disappointed for so long.

Not at all. I just don't gild the lily.

But look at the bright side. There would be a huge increased post count of all the footy stupid. They've got a topic that unites them and they have a voice.

Cute.

Actually you say that is jest...but you can bet your last zack they did indeed have little get togethers. Nothing ever like this is left to chance and happenstance. Things are co ordinated to some point.

They planed the games,how not to get too 'good" ; they went over lists, they sent players off to 'hospital"... what you think it all happened by magic ??

Telepathy, they just knew. That's how Ben communicates with the footy stupid, he doesn't want to be seen talking to them.

Forget about CW. She might be a blow hard tonight on FC, but tomorrow's the day. Gill Mc said he would decide this week. Unless he is of the opinion that the week ends on Sunday then we should know tomorrow. Either way, there is no way that this will go to the Commission meeting on Monday.

It's either no case to answer or the AFL will have to drag this on for another month or convene an extraordinary meeting which is unlikely unless they want maximum publicity.

Yeah, wonder boy didn't show much foresight.

Probably never thought a club would tank so badly.

Revisionist!

Straw man argument.

You mean, did Carlton hold football dept meetings during the season?

I'd be bloody surprised if they didn't.

But then again, as you point out, it doesn't really matter what you think. Nor I.

You're not allowed to talk about other sides, sorry mate.

Is that because Cameron Schwab wasn't at either club?

This Ben-Hur is a bit of a [censored] to be honest. I am certainly ok with someone having an opinion but to be so agressive with it and the way in which he/she belittles other posters is pretty immature. Smacks of a classic "keyboard hero" or someone who has little else in life other than getting some weird satisfaction from stirring an emotional pot for a sense of self gratification.

Can I please have my 10 hours of wasted time back? The ones I have spent reading his/hers post which have pretty much the same message for the last 6 months?

Also do you work?

Actually I do.

And I can also spell.

Every day.

Maybe you can do a mass telepathy and impart some of your wisdom on the "unwashed", but I guess that would be no good because if we were all as smart as you there'd be no one left for you to disagree with (notice how nice I was, I didn't say anyone to abuse).

On the other hand if everyone was as smart as you we'd only need one post per thread, make it easier to get through the page and we'd get more work done, plus you wouldn't need to waste you time anymore correcting us.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
