  • 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.

Dr Bates may be this weeks fall guy who is next???

If Neil Craig and Misson are implicated they need to go too. I like Craig and Misson is supposedly top notch, but this club needs to start acting like a competent footy club and deal with inappropriate behaviour responsibly.

Clearly Neeld would also be in strife. Might be the perfect opportunity to bundle him out the door without it costing a fortune.

Naturally, my comments are dependent on clear findings, which will take a while.

Have to say BH it has crossed my mind over the last 20 odd hours if the board are losing their support with Neeld and they can find anything in the contract which has been breached relating to the current revelations this will be an opportunity for them to act and not be faced with big payouts.

If this is the case and they take it to the AFL I believe they will receive full support in taking action against anyone who may be implicated.

Then again will wait and see if there is any truth in this Healy rumour

Neeld's fragile position as Coach is not necessarily dependent on this.

There is the issue of whether he was aware.

But if its the case that Bates has lied then he goes and Misson and Craig have gone some explaining how a maverick doctor has engaged with Dank on supplements without their knowledge. FAIK Bates was Misson's appointment.

I was worried at the time Drs Daff and Fried were forced out......could be for good reason.

Is it possible bates kept these dealings from the higher powers and that's why they produced what seems to be a lie in the statement?

can't think of any other reasons they'd be silly enough to lie about that

What has Bates got to benefit from making players take substances - the chance to lose job and go to court etc?

Your saying the club was unaware of any form of contact with Dank - I think that's impossible. Your saying one of our captains, a number of players and staff (Bates+mission+?) did this behind the clubs back?

It's plausible that Bates may not have informed Misson and Craig. So at this point it's not impossible. Trengove could have taken a legal prescription to the Sth Yarra pharmacy to get a substance that was not banned? How is that going behind the club's back?

do u think the club knew this was coming and got rid of schwab before it became public

Then why didn't MFC make the disclosure at that time.

Schwab would have gone for other obvious reasons. Had he still been around at this time, he would be ripe for the chop.

He may have kept danks influence from the club and just mentioned he wants the players to have these substances, may not have felt it was something they needed to know so long as he had the approval for whatever it was.

I don't think anyone can jump to conclusions because we know little but if we accept that ABC's report has truth behind it then our communication with Dank ended the day Essendon went public. I think that the major tanking investigation was just coming to a close - to what extent would our club go to stay out of the press? (even if their association with Dank was legal)

My bad - I thought those texts made reference to Mission and or Craig. As for Trengove I was more making the point that do you think any of our players/staff would go behind the clubs back? (with regards to Dank/substances)

Any major announcements yet?

Yes the MFC have been asked to remove themselves from the AFL and join the VFL. Problems arose when VFL rejected their admission so they were stuck on a mantelpiece in the longroom for posterity. Unfortunately the cleaner through them out with the trash.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
