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.


Adam Goodes - Australian of the Year

Anyone wondering whether or not AG is a worthy (and perhaps necessary) winner only has to look at this thread.

I might stop laughing tomorrow.

Might.

Ed: seriously, what do you mean by this post, rjay?

DL keyboard warriors at their finest; someone does more community service than most people on this forum combined but still find the nerve to criticise.

The award as a whole is flawed, it's silly to appoint one person Australian of the year over others. All should receive an order and that's it. But as for comments such as he does it part time in a sense it's half arsed are inane.

As for the 13 year old girls comments... It was the indigenous round, emotions were high, what she said was wrong, and FFS he wasn't trying to shame her in front of the nation he was trying to show the security guard who said the comment so they could deal with it - it was the president of the club she supported which shamed her and went overboard.

What happened to that young girl was absolutely disgusting, everyone involved should be embarrassed for their part in it. Just look at what happened to Eddie Maguire shortly after, he said something stupid and was labeled a racist by all and sundry, however he used his profile to defend what he did. Where was her support? She was 13 years old for [censored] sake, just a girl. Sure, what she said was wrong and stupid, but do you honestly believe that what happened was ok? A full national media campaign designed for one purpose, to destroy her character. Anyone who thinks that is ok to do that to a 13 year old child is an imbecile. How the [censored] is that meant to educate her about what she said?

As I've said before, Goodes does excellent work in the community, no doubt about it, I just believe there are others more deserving, which I've already provided a link. Somehow that makes me a racist by some imbeciles on here. Yes, typical DL key wannabe hero wankers, completely unable to discuss the topic, they can't help themselves but to make personal insults because they have no argument.

Good footballer - undoubtedly

Poster boy for racial equality - yes

Australian of the year - not by the length of the straight

As for the last comment I feel that way most years, we have amazing people doing amazing work in the chosen fields of research, community health and well being, world leaders in arts and engineering. inspiring people doing inspiring things yet we award a footballer who like most footballers has a massive salary but more importantly a massive media profile based on racial awareness, followed up by a disabled athlete as the young Australian of the year. Far from inspired choices for my liking. I'd go as far as saying the "older Australian of the year" - Fred Chaney has done much much more for the plight of indigenous Australians than Goodesy and would be a better choice, but he doesn't have the profile wanted.

Geez WJ, bet you didn't think it would get to this point when you started the thread. Sad really.

Clearly you are more interested in outrage than facts.

All the attention at the time was VERY sympathetic to her and all the talk was about education rather than attacking her.

As WJ correctly pointed out, it's "Australian Of The Year", not 'Scientist Of The Year", or "Community Person Of The Year" etc.

The focus you're putting on defending an event that so harshly shows the way racism is so ingrained in "our" culture just proves you have no understanding of the actual point.

"He is actively involved with several indigenous sport and community programs, and has spent time working with troubled youngsters, including in youth detention centres. Together with his cousin and former teammate Michael O'Loughlin, Goodes has established the GO Foundation which seeks to empower the next generation of indigenous role models."

And that's why you should be banned. Thinking equality and human rights are "ideals" that you seem to not agree with, rather than rights.

Also for sprouting redneck rubbish on a footy site.

    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
