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.

As I said before - enough of this.

Hey Nutbean - if you were rich and had a decent package, even if you were mute, you would expect to do better than Jacqui wouldn't you?

Ah - just got it it - Soidee started this.

Soidee is the Mighty Demon who is going to watch the top sides play for the rest of this year - had enough of the Demons. Great attitude I don't think!!

We should consider ourselves fortunate that we're not under 30 and unemployed, and those who are have every right to be outraged.

6 months without receiving a cent. 6 months on no income. Following that when they eventually do qualify, a required 40 job applications per month whilst working 25 hours per week for the dole.

Draconian measures like this won't just impact individuals. Businesses are going to be inundated with an expected 1 million applications per day, thanks to the self announced king of cutting red tape, and businesses have responded in kind by slamming the policy. The broader societal impacts will be almost certain significant rises in crime and homelessness.

Policy on the run like this would be laughable if it wasn't so serious. It just seems like no thought whatsoever has gone into it.

One can only hope that they will actually LISTEN to the feedback on the exposure draft, but I don't hold high hopes.

I think you could call it class warfare! Purely vindictive legislation based on zero data by Bastards Incorporated. The work for the dole has some merit but the 40 applications a month is ridiculous and the six month wait for funds is just kicking young people while they are down.

Don't you understand P-Man? It's called 'real action'! Or something like that....

I will give the Tories something. I thought they were still in John Howard's shameless weathervane mode of 2004-2007 and would throw cash at every constituency they could to shore up their votes. Instead, they have stuck by their principles and ideology and have put forth a budget that reflects those principles and ideology.

Sadly, those principles and ideologies just don't reflect reality or aren't close to workable. As Bob Menzies said, 'the best part of being an ideologue is that it relieves one of the responsibility of thinking for oneself.' (that's version of the quote)

I read something the other day in one of the papers that said people should just pick their 40 favourite members of the Liberal party and send them their resume each month.

Geez Nutbean - I have never met you but I do know you could do far better than Jacqui - give it a try.

(sweet is not the word for Jacqui - uurrgghh!)

I think she came out too early? fired off all her shots before the war had even been contemplated.

Did anyone else watching tonight's ABC News notice how our PM's coiffure is styled to copy a film star from The Lord of the Rings ?

I am not a LOR officianado but I have noticed Tony's comb over is becoming obvious; If that is what you mean?

they also did the makeover on him in the office scenes, wearing glasses more often, trying to make him appear intelligent, & to seem more distinguished. a bit like they smoothed over little johnny in makeovers.

The word is Tony is considering changing the national anthem to this.


P.S. A lot of the images in this are a bit dated. They really need a coalition government 2013-present version. However, the stuff that is sung about is still pretty relevant today.

I listened to "The Hack" last night on triple J and they had Christopher Pyne on. He is jumpy obnoxious fellow.

He ranted about Fairfax and the ABC and gave Tom Tilly a spray - Tom handled it quite well.

It did make me laugh - it was 5:59 and Pyne was about to launch into an answer and Tom said can you make it brief as we coming up to the news. Pyne got agitated and said typical ABC - i get asked a question and you wont let me a....

Before he could finish they went to the news. Tilly apologised after the news and said - we cant stop 6pm happening nor the news coming on. Pyne came off as a petulant DH.

You think he would know that Triple J listeners are not his demographic so he would keep his cool to win people over - not act like a 2 year old.

Got my notification today from my energy supplier that my electricity will cost approx 7.2% less with a refund dated back to 1/7/14. Thank you Tony and your Govt for repealing the unwarranted carbon price.

You can argue the merits of the carbon price all you like.

You can also argue the merits of the average punter that cares little about anything else except their own hip pocket.

( had you said that it is a benefit with the tax coming off for businesses and the economy or the general populace - then cudo's, but arguing policy because its more money for me ..hmmm)

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
