  • 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.

I am so anry that any AFL would have a drug program of this nature.

Bases on the Facts I heard and Read so far is Messendon and it Corupt Team Official get off these charges on a Technicality the MFC should refuse to play them.

We may have a crap team but we must maintain our integrity and send a message the MFC is against Drugs in Sport,

The Hird Reich must be STOPPED!

We already did that retrospectively in round 2 this year.

That was just a test run for later on.

What is that link about? Take your politics and [censored] off to another thread please.

Hird apparently was receiving advice from a PR person previously associated with the Liberal party and the technique was deny all and then attack / discredit those that offer negative evidence or testimony.

I think the saddest thing is listening to the radio today and hearing parents ring up saying there children are being called drug cheats and getting picked on at school and the kids saying i dont want to go to the footy anymore. Its a bit low when children are being called drug cheats when its the team they support.

Schools have footy days coming up and kids dont want to wear there essendon jumpers or are worried about wearing them.

Anyway the golden boy is speaking at 11:30 today where he will say everything will be cleared and we will be fine.

It appears Hird has given himself an exit strategy to give himself a soft landing and walk away without blame if he is forced out. In his writ he claims this course of action will affect his abilty to coach. I suggest he does not waste anymore time and just do it.

Legal advice to players suggests they would have little problem voiding contracts, and could enter the draft without Essendon receiving compensation

Get ready for the deepest draft ever.

To me James Hird is in complete denial he did anything wrong because to him he is a perfect human being.

I just read this article about Major League baseball star Ryan Braun, who got suspended 65 games by MLB for PED use,

When you read this article you couldn't help but compare him to the situation James Hird is in :rolleyes:

I don't think that will happen.

Essendon will offer them a contract over and above their penalties (that's the PR device I would use) and not too many clubs will risk wasting pick and list spots on players that might be sanctioned.

Yes, what Braun did was very similar. The only difference being that Hird was not a player in the comp.

But the arrogance, the disconnect, and the obfuscation are the same.

Braun has eventually apologised however...

Maybe Hird will get there one day.

Not forgotten. But as unfortunate as the JT case may turn out be, it is on an entirely different scale to what happened at Essendon.

As i prepare to be howled at if we have anything to answer...then so we must. If not, then not.

This is a scurge that needsto be unequivocally espunged.

The club will have him step down/removed etc within the next week i think. He is damaging their club and it will hurt them far worse if he stays. No matter the outcome

that group is always be stained with the allegations.

Glad its not us.

He might then try to sue the club, players, parents and supporters.

Yes Old I have not forgotton also. I read some of the old articles again and while it seems a long way from the Essendon situation its unsettling for sure.

This game has lost me.... Its corrupt....

The AFL have known about this from the start... Hird is a pawn in this.... And after hearing that mother cry for her son!!! [censored] this game!!! Thats just [censored]!! Im finished with AFL....

Its Not the game tatu. its the Winning is everything attitude, thats been growing like a Tumour since around the 60's, that really started to show itself in the late 60's, & then famously when a young John McEnroe echoed the words of his college tutors, "Winning isn't Everything - It's the ONLYthing"...

this has been slowly snowballing since, & its continually built up speed, & is now nearing the bottom of the slope...

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
