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.

Yes it can all be subpoenaed either directly or through what is known as Third Party Discovery. Failure can lead to contempt charges and even jail if wilful.

Hird may flush out stuff that is not in his or Essendon's interest, then.

Tim Watson is quoted this morning as saying "So if they (the AFL) know what they (the substances) are, why can't they come clean and tell the players and tell the parents so that we can all get on with our lives and stop being fearful about what they may have been administered?"

Sorry Tim, I thought that was Essendon's responsibility.

that's an amazing way of twisting the blame.

why cant the afl tell us?

WHY did Essendon put the stuff into their players bodies?

why did the players allow it?

I think you'll find that Hird is now so consumed by pathological rage that his thinking has gone right off the rails. His advice team arent that much cleverer so it would seem .Either that or they are yes men pandering to his royal highness !!

Classic case of "careful what you wish for " lol

Behaviours and symptoms that are associated with a sociopathic profile. Makes interesting reading

  • Glibness and Superficial Charm
  • Manipulative and Conning
    They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
  • Grandiose Sense of Self
    Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
  • Pathological Lying
    Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
  • Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
    A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Exactly. Its not beholding upon the AFL to keep the Messendon rabble informed its up to the bloody Messendon Footy Club

The gall of this all is simply mind numbing.

All T Watson is proving is that hes just as gullible as the rest of them and twice the [censored] !!

He is not gullible. He has his own interests(Jobe) to protect. He is a fellow traveller and doing his bit by putting out disinformation. Just like the ex Iraqi propaganda minister he is.

you have a point.

He must be a man after Hirds own heart if he thinks anyone is buying it.

Im starting to wonder whether in amongst all this that there wouldnt be cause for some to be legally prosecuted let alone penalised by ASADA and or the AFL

What Messendon have perpetrated is nothing short of Mens Rea surely ?

I'm also wondering if James will get advice from his spin merchants to start talking the talk of showing care about his players today. You can almost guarantee that, wait for the comments from James.

You've backed a loser spin boys, what a disgrace.

Particularly if you a guilty of misdemeanours.

I agree. Makes you wonder about the feckless goons on this site who were advocating MFC take the AFL to court over the tanking.

You are not comparing this Essendon situation to the MFC tanking are you??

Please, they are eons apart.

If you have not heard the anonymous players Mum on MMM this morning, do yourselves a favour. As a parent I was close to tears listening to it! Walls are crumbling at windy hill.

Pretty strong isn't it.

James is in this for Hirdy. Paul Little is just as bad.

The Golden Child looks a little stressed.

My question to Mr Hird was it a Black Ops AMBUSH from the AFL?

You know what horrifies me?

The fact that during 2012 when a lot of this was going on in Hird's world, he was also coaching an under 9 junior football team in a competition in which I'm a life member. Now, I'm not suggesting that the activities in which he was allegedly involved at Essendon were reproduced at that level but the thought that this person was in a position to work with kids absolutely appalls and sickens me. What would they be thinking now?

AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION,THE KIDS ARE ALL NOW 10 YO

SURVEYS HAVE TOLD US THE MELATON AND PEPTIDES HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO REACH GREAT HIEGHTS IN WIEGHT GAIN AND MUSCLE GROWTH, ALTHOUGH SOME MINOR SIDE EFFECTS SHOW UP EVERY NOW AND THEN

THE PLAYERS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO FINISHING THE YEAR ON A HIGH AS THEY ENTER THE 2013 GRAND FINAL AGAINST THE BALWYN U17 TEAM AND CELEBRATORY SHAVES WILL BE THE NORM AFTER THE GAME

SO ALL IN ALL ID SAY EVERYTHINGS GONE WELL

As usual you miss the issue

A club taking the AFL and therefore the game to Court is common to both incidents even though the severity of Essendon problem far exceeds Melbourne's tanking fiasco

And in both situations it's insanity and a death wish to do so. Essendon's ridiculous action vindicates the basic common sense at MFC not to do so six months ago.

If ASADA issue infraction notices on evidence of banned substances being taken then surely the AFL would right to add penalties onto the minimum suspensions under WADA.

    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
