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.


GOODBYE MR. CHIP FRAWLEY

He was taken in the rookie draft and you would want to give up pick 2 or 3 for him?

Dazzle's response to your post

You look absolutely silly here.. why?

Daniel Talia who just won Adelaides best and fairest and in the All Australian 40 squad averages 11.8 disaposals per game this year. He played all 22 games.

I would happily give up first round draft pick.

So you're saying there is no relevance to Talia in what you and Dazzle were discussing. Just tell me again he was referring to Frost as winning Adelaide's best and fairest and being included in the All Australian Squad.

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight Olisik. But keep climbing Mount Stupid because one day you will reach the summit

Paul Puopolo was taken pick 66 - what would you give up for him.

Where you were taken in a draft has zero relevance - can he play and what does the club think he is worth is the only relevant consideration

Other worthy players taken in the rookie draft -

B: Josh Gibson, Ben Rutten, Dale Morris

HB: Harry O'Brien, Mal Michael, Tadhg Kennelly

C: Kieren Jack, Brett Kirk, Matt Priddis

HF: Brad Sewell, James Podsiadly, Ryan Crowley

F: Stephen Milne, Russell Robertson, Aaron Davey

Foll: Dean Cox, Matthew Boyd, Michael Barlow

I/C: Aaron Sandilands, Tarkyn Lockyer, Andrew Carrazzo, James McDonald

It's quite amusing to have some inside knowledge of the situation, then seeing posers like Picket Fence making strong obvious proclamations, and acting as if they have some idea of the real situation when the reality is that they don't.

They've just hitched their star to an obvious wagon that most remain unsure of, then hammered the point home with such surety as they attempt to convince others their bluff is legit.

Laughable really.

Yeah well part of the info I already had was that

A) Best mate Rivers was already there

and now

B) Girlfriend is a Geelong girl with family affinity with Geelong and so another part of that puzzle was revealed today ( Although I already knew that from an informed sauce and it formed part of my reasoning) the main part however is still to be played out and when it does it will be as I have said. I will say though that unless a "Ship in the knight" takes the wind away I remain 99% convinced that Geelong will be his destination.

Laughable really! But Logical if so inclined!

Onya bike Frawley. We don't want you type here anymore!

Honest goers is what we will put our trust in.

Even if you stayed, you would need to be looking deep into your teamates eyes every game.

Congrats, you linked 1 post from a whole series of posts, I know who we were discussing as I started the conversation about Frost, read my earlier post. Pathetic response to ur fail post at trying to tell me who I was talking about.

He mentioned Talia to justify the low posession count and then replied abt Frost/what he would pay.

Stay out of conversations if you cant even follow them rather then making a fool of youself.

Read post #2056 and don't worry no need to apologise it's probably genetic and you can't help it

I think it was actually the year we took Gysberts 2 picks ahead of Talia...

You may well be right Machsy, in fact you are probably 100% right whichever year it was I am certain Talia was not taken in the Rookie draft

Yes, Rivers is there. Good mate. Frawley is in his upcoming wedding party, so it's true that there is a strong lure.

Also the girlfriend, yes, I know, met her a few times myself. But being in Geelong itself is not a priority.

Still, what you represent as being "done" based on a few convenient facts making it very likely are what make you full of ****.

Blind freddy could see that it was likely.

Over the line? It probably is now. But not when you said it.

And I'm at the stage of no longer caring enough to bother my sources.

Which part of the sentence "Frost was taken in the rookie draft" is too hard for you to comprehend?

You 2 still going at each other?????

FWIW the way i read olisik's post about 'player x' being taken in the rookie draft, he was referring to Frost (well that's the way i interpreted his post).

As for Daniel Talia, he was drafted at pick #13 in the 2009 draft, 2 spots after we drafted Lucas Cook at #11.

He thinks you were referring to Talia when you were talking about the player taken at pick #1 in the rookie draft. No doubt you know that, but no-one on this board ever wants to concede defeat....................ergo, this pi$$ing contest is still going on.

Which i'm finding very entertaining, to the point where i want to interject!!!

Yeah I know he thinks that but the link was about Frost.

Nethertheless I hope we dont pay overs for the kid. 4th or 5th round at most I hope.

What people seem not to understand is that not everyone has the same approach to life and relationships.

Speaking personally, I think Frawley has a duty of care, not only to himself, but to his current employer and, in this case, to a struggling football club that has had, and continues to have, its back completely against the wall.

That a leader of the club has openly stated that he will not talk to the club until 'the end of the year' in circumstances where he has allegedly spoken to at least one other (much stronger) club is, in my view, pathetic.

That people don't get this perspective also surprises/intrigues me.

I think this is a different point though, RB. People seem to hold up this idea of him being a loyal country boy as if it means anything. It's a load of superstitious/bizarre garbage.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
