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.

Not quite. medical Mal practice is there for just the basic f-ups !! accidental or negligent... doesnt matter thats why its there

I confess Im not au fait with the possible nature of professional insurances that EFC have but I wouldnt think it matters good bad or indifferent..Its an insurance

There's a difference between being negligent in a workplace and acting illegally.

Surely malpractice wouldn't cover wilfully illegal behaviour.

but lack of record keeping esp if deemed deliberate (not kept or destroyed) would not impress an insurance coy looking for loop holes

playing with fire cuts both ways

insurance in reality is nothing more than wagering ( both sides )

I was talking to an essendon supporter yesterday, all I have to say is DELUSIONAL I asked how long he thinks players will get his answer, nothing it's all a media beat up and they will be playing round 1 guaranteed, I was like ok then

Of the 6 or so Bombers' supporters I know all are dead certain that it's a beat up. Without fail, they worship Hird in the same way Kim Jong-un is idolised.

Not quite so

Depends what the actual insurance to date was for I would imagine. I only used medical malpractice as as an example, wasnt suggesting this was such a case. Just suggesting with insurers they'll write up a risk assessment for anything and charge accordingly. Ive no idea what policy the EFC are pulling down on to date , but they've got one , because it's paying up.

Information taken from the Essendon FC annual report


16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is in discussions with external and internal stakeholders in relation to

claims or disputes arising in the course of business. At this point in time, the amount

of liability, if any, cannot be quantified.


Really as we in DL would expect this figure to be in the tens of millions.


If the AFL fined them $2 million for governance/bring the game into dispute. What would be the fine for having an illegal substance program?


Let the good times roll and the fines and payouts grow!

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
No matters or circumstances have arisen between the end of the financial year and
the date of this report which have, or may significantly affect the operations of the
Company or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years.
34 Infringements to current and past players clears does not count?

Non-current 2014 2013

Other liabilities 1,100,000 1,600,000


So they paid only $500,000 of their fine to the AFL in 2014. But clearly did not plan to pay anything of the fine in 2014, as they classified the debt as non current.

Again they plan not to pay any of the fine in the next 12 months.

Its interesting when you're self confessed absorbed watcher of all this how the narrative seems to wax and wane throughout the whole sordid affair.

Hird...I take full responsibility >>>>>>>> actually hes taken none

EFC... We welcome and will assist any investigation >>>>> we'll fight you on the beaches we'll fight you in the streets ...and especially in court

EFC...We dont know what they took or were injected with ( as if ) >>>>>> whatever it was was safe

This lot could get senior jobs at the Orwellian Ministry of Truth

But Dank is truly the master of double speak on the fly.

Apparently when in a Football World he refers to Thymosin...he means the "good "one ...or according to him Thymomodulin

But when you look on his website any and all references to Thymosin are acually to Thymosin Beta 4 (Tß4)

Then we have the all important pic of the real stuff...via Wallis..of whatever it is

and to think you can just go get this stuff off the shelves.....well sorta...not here granted...but why involve a compounding chemist if all you're after is >>>

Vial is too fat, the thumb is too long . . thumbnail?
The photo has been widened in the middle by widening a vertical strip of the "original" photo".
The characters MO have been added, and also com/gen.
It looks like the numbers may have been changed.
The photo is not a photo of another photo. The creases mask the photoshop work

The question is who did this and why did they think it would fly?

I don't see how having a vial of thymomodulin could clear the players, it's still not proof they didn't take tb4 just that they happened to have another drug at the same time

Did you drink beer the other night?

No!

Prove it!

Here's a bottle of water from the same rough time.

. . . and who is the local "Kim" who can command the Heraldsun to run such an obviously faked photograph? Newspapers have Photo editors even REAL editors don't they?

something isn't right . . and it worries me!

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
