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.

Is there a more... annoying [censored] to listen to with his... mid-sentence, reflective pauses and know-it-all... tone? I put it to you... guys... that this beady-eyed acne scarred [censored] ... is the most annoying... [censored] on tv/radio.

......thanks...... guys.

hahaha, this is spot on

he is one of the smuggest, know-it-all germs I've seen, and keeps getting worse

he genuinely does hate us too, what a [censored] trying to disagree with viney's suspension when literally the whole football community is tearing their hair out over it

Hutchinson and Barrett are on the AFL's payroll. They are lefty trolls that think everything is non-subjective, that nothing can be discussed, dissected. That there is one way and if you don't fit that standard of morality or whatever then you are wrong. Barrett's "They were 100% right" comment on Viney's suspension is evident of this. He would argue that within the guidelines, he should be suspended. He can't comprehend that maybe the guidelines just don't fit in with how the common person understands the games and rules. Having a lawyer argue rules to a player who responds spontaneously to a situation is a mockery of the game itself. In society we have time to react, to consider the consequences. In Football the goal is to get the football and WIN. That is it. There are rules, yes, but there is NO rule against accidentally hurting someone. The AFL has basically legislated against accidents. It is a travesty. It's like trying to say to someone, "It is illegal to offend someone". These are laws built around human action than are spontaneous but also firmly subjective.

Also, Hutchinson says what the AFL wants him to say. He gets pulled into line all the time for anything directly negative of the AFL or sport, and Barrett is the same. There's no doubt in my mind that every story he breaks comes directly from AFL House, which helps shape the narrative to suit the organisation.

What would you get if you bred Damien Barrett and Susan Boyle?

Craig Hutchinson...

an unmade bed that can sing.

I still stand by the time Liam Pickering told Hutchy to his face live on SEN that he always looked like an "unmade bed", as being the funniest thing i have ever heard on radio. I laughed so hard the Coco Pops cereal i was eating came out of my nose.

The thing that cruels his whole argument is the fact that not once does he mentioned the AFL judiciary's penchant for giving free passes to elbows to the head.

That would require thinking and knowing something about the world.

Neither are his strong suits.

Here's a link to some audio of this piece of [censored] talking about the Jack Ziebell suspension when it happened.

While it isn't as damning as I'd hoped, the [censored] is predictably hugging Ziebell's nuts. Nothing like his reaction to us frothing at the mouth supporters this week.

Hypocritical piece [censored].

How does any of that make him right-wing? You're relying on tired generalisations.

He votes Green.

That's irrelevant, though. His type is present throughout the industry. They're merchants of negativity. He belongs in the Canberra Press Gallery, not football journalism.

DB only argument for the suspension is that the rules say blah blah and so he must be found guilty. The rules are always right. The good old sgt Schultz quote, "I know NOTHING"

Only obeying the rules is an argument that was dismissed at the Numerberg war trials in the late 40s.

Even in the military since the mid 70s you can disobey an order if you consider it illegal but you will wear the consquences latter if you are wrong!

What I am trying to say is if his only argument is "I am only obeying orders" he is half a century out in his thinking [ if he can in fact think]

Does it matter?

Wouldn't want to waste oxygen on the topic.

fortunately, commenting on the web consumes no oxygen, unlike Barratt who not only does, but also produces CO2, and lots of methane

The only antidote to this virulent pest is winning. There will no doubt be a surge of his crap whilst we continue to improve then he will have to shut up when the time comes he has to eat his own excrement.

He obviously does this already, as it oozes, sometimes spews forth, from his mouth whenever he opens it

When 99 percent of the football world are against the viney decision Barrett decides to go against the grain so his name rises above all others. He needs to be heard and wanted the uproar over his opinion.

    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
