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 CLUB IN CRISIS ... THE AFL MUST STEP IN

Just goes to show that the great American philosopher Thomas Paine was right when he said -

"To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead."

And what was that Einstein quote about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome? Something about stupidity? Engaging certain members of this site and expecting a change is clearly stupid! I'll learn.

You are a no-nothing, ignorant twerp. Always wrong on just about every issue.

And now you're on ignore.

I love the Melbourne Football Club, you love to try and bring it down, you've already started your next mission trying to get rid of McLardy.

Wrack off troll.

i bet you a few 100 it was an AFL directive if you read Don's letter from yesterday.

That said Cam stood down with complete dignity intact and i applaud him for that.

Of course they did, WYL.

It's called the 'tap on the shoulder'.

The AFL are all over this.

Another one from Einstein -

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

No I am not the the older brother I just feel old and barracking for the Demons for 57 years will do that to you.

Alleged call came after round 1 and cannot name source but rumour arose at launch of another league where one of the coaches works for the AFL (probably said too much). Same night was rumour that AFL would take over admin of Demons within a month unless things improved....they haven't

Thanks for that Older. Fascinating and proof that hidden in the the dross there is sometimnes some nuggets of gold on this site. One assumes today's announcement relates to the second rumor.

The MFC can now finally move on from 186.

Melbourne football club should go hard for Adrian Anderson

Haha yes to get over the tanking culture we should get in the guy that charged us with tanking... hmmmmmmm

I don't take delight in being right. But I will say that the way some of you attacked me here was shameful.

There's debate and then there's belittling a fellow Dees man and trying to get him banned for voicing an opinion.

Have a good hard long look some of you (Stuie, Satyricon etc)

The hypocrisy stemming from this post is insane.

You are not the only one to hold the views you hold; plenty of others agreed with your positions re: Schwab, McLardy, Neeld etc.

You, though, are the only one to consistently shove them down everyone else's throats (e.g. all the threads you start). Simultaneously, you do not engage in debate with anyone, you merely provide one-liners like '32-102' or 'it's OK, you'll turn eventually' or references to addiction.

It's OK for you to believe what you believe, you seemingly genuinely care about where this club goes in the future. But you never ever accept anyone else's opinion, you never engage in debate with someone who disagrees with you, and you regularly put down anyone who disagrees with you.

You're the one who belittles, RR, and you're the one whose conduct is shameful.

I don't mind the idea of Anderson taking on the role despite his involvement in the tanking investigation.

He'll have a better knowledge of the club than many of the other possible candidates, and has probably looked at it in a much more critical way given his past duties.

I call it the 'mallet to the back of the head' approach. Shock therapy. It's not something I take pleasure in ... but a lot of you were that far in denial.

I was right that he had to go now. Not at the end of the year. Not next week. Now.

And so it was proven.

Quit being such an over-sensitive sook about it.

Intervention by the AFL is starting to appeal.

The first thing we do under the patronage of the AFL is organise three priority picks for the November draft as well as the right to sign up Lachie Whitfield under special concessionary rules and Buddy Franklin as a free agent for $2m per annum which will be a recurring concession outside the salary cap. Included in our cap will be the money we play his layabout old man for acting as our CEO while someone at AFL does the real work.

Next we award ourselves the four points for each of the two opening games as a result of the ASADA penalty that wipes the entire Essendon team of 2012 which affects both Port and Essendon and actually puts us on top of the ladder.

Carlton will finally get charged with tanking. Not for 2005-7 but for this year (they're already 0-2 and worse to come).

Ha! What a load of rubbish troll. You have taken serious delight in the whole thing, why else would you PM people today saying "I win!"...

The sooner you are off this site and find another club to support destroy, the better.

First, you haven't been proven right that he had to go. You've been proven right that he would go now, but unless and until we see this decision have positive ramifications, you haven't been proven right on that.

Second, if you've already forgotten, you were the one who originally said you were 'belittled' and that people's conduct towards you was 'shameful'. If me using those terms makes me an 'over-sensitive sook', then you are the same thing. Hypocrite.

Finally, there you go again with a glib quote. You didn't make the apple fall. You picked the apple, then threw it at those with whom you disagree.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
