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.


Damien Barrett - eat your heart out

I don't understand why supporters take the slightest notice of what reporters say or why their opinion matters??

I quite like Hutchy I think he is funny and has some quirky left field ideas

Barrett is like what Hutchy used to be......You know...trolling peoples garbage bins to find a "Story"....Staying up at night outside somebody's house hoping for a bit of dirt that he can break as world breaking news

I just ignore him...

Agree. Who cares what they say or think? Listen to their commentary and form your own opinion. People get really worked up on here if someone says something negative about us (deserved most of the time) but then themselves post vile stuff in during or directly after a loss.

Barrett doesn't have a vendetta against us, he just knows we as a club have been poorly run for years (anyone disagree?) and gets stuck in about it. He's blatantly wrong on the Viney situation and that's been proven.

I'm really confused as to why people lose their mind over opinions of people in the media. Everyone has a right to one.

Anyone else catch Barrett on the footy show talking with Viney tonight?

Talking to him like he was in his corner the whole time.

Jack spoke well though

Looked like they jumped him in the stairwell.

Would prefer if Sam Newman was going to wear a dees jumper on TFS that it had AHG on it, rather than the webjet logo like the one he's currently wearing. Useless.

I suppose he had to get an interview for the footy show but I dont think Jack would care what Damo's thoughts were. I wonder wear sam did get that jumper from.

Yes I picked that up immediately. MFC or maybe even Gary should have been onto that before the show?

If he's in the media you would hope that at least his opinion is an informed one. In this case it wasn't and in the Tyson (I've never seen him play) case it wasn't either.

Lefty Trolls?? would say way more right than left especially Barrett, he has private schoolboy, Daddy bought him everything, written all over him.

Someone on here referred to him as "the young lib" which is such an apt description.

Barrett still does not get it.

Viney braced to protect himself from injury in an inevitable collision.

His only alternative was to leave himself open to serious injury.

The issues around the bump are pretty clear. If you choose to bump and hit the player in the head you are going to be in trouble.

Schimma, Moose and Plod should be sacked for not understanding the difference between a defensive brace and a bump.

That's true. And no issue with people calling him on it and debating it.

But people get so worked up and obsessive over it when that's exactly what he is likely aiming to do.

Doesn't mean he's wrong all the time either like many think in here. See Hogan, twice.

He doesn't bother me as I don't care what he thinks. His 'opinion' pieces are often incorrect and loaded. But he does break news whether we like him or not.

It's simple, people don't like frothing at the mouth, [censored] reporters, that start off reporting, then get an inflated ego like a poor man's celebrity chef.
They start getting on the radio and the TV and see this as a vehicle to voice their opinions rather than do what got them their job in the first place, reporting facts.

Now that's fine, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But when you drop sticking to factual reporting, and start voicing your thoughts on everything that's going on, your personality comes through. No one likes over opinionated [censored] that they've known for years, let alone some geeky gutter journo grub that tries to talk [censored] about something we all know about more than he does.

Damian Barrett is anti-Melbourne, it irks us not because he is right or wrong, but because he has no [censored] idea what he's talking about.
I've had real life arguments about the Tyson/Salem trade with someone who got their cannon fodder from watching Damo spew [censored] about it in some medium.
Then we have to watch the [censored] interview one of players when something happens, he's like a virus you just can't avoid.


Reckon the AFL would publish this if I sent it to them?

Barrett hasn't come out to say what a dumb carnt Schimma is for [censored] up .

And how fkn Kieth Grieg got wing in the Hun team of the century over the Tulip is beyond me.

Journos are mostly stupid drunks with drug and emotional issues- I can say that because I have many hack mates .

Norf and Parrot are bottom feeders.

I have so much hate built up inside of me towards Barrett, it's not healthy.

I still tweet abuse to him even tho I know he blocked me over a year ago, it makes me feel better.

See Matt, I find this totally acceptable. I'm sick of hearing whinging "celebrities" sooking about trolls. Now personally, i don't believe I am what woudl be classed as a "troll", but when they put idiotic comments up on social networking sites, they are voicing their opinion, just as much as you are in your abuse to Fl og Barrett.

Now, the sook has blocked you, no doubt becasue he didn't like what he was reading. Ironic considering that's the very reason you feel the need to reply in the first place!

They get in the spotlight, they don't care who they bring down as long as they come out on top, then cry when someone puts them down. Just have to watch the Brownlow Red Carpet even from a couple of years ago when Charlotte Dawson, Alex Perry and a couple of othershosted it - they were being nothing but disrespectful, bullying kunts toward some of the WAGs. Then the media want us to feel sorry when one of them gets a bit in return? Not from me.

I found some of the replies to Fl og's tweet the other night quite hilarious. Would love to know which one yours was! There are some bloody witty and funny people out there!

@barrettdamian nothing against the case or whatever but are we not allowed to protect ourselves anymore? Imagine if he didn't brace...

    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

    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.

    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
