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.

What I meant. As a sixties' band, Cream were around too early to be considered for events that happened in the 70's.

I have a double DVD of Cream live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005. They reformed for a one off performance (well, 4 nights) and were very very good.

Fair dinkum unbelievable you people are. Satyr or TDI is a veteran of the Isle of Wight, Glastonbury or some other like phenomenon of the late 60s/early 70s (next best thing after Woodstock and Sunbury) which makes him an absolute legend who deserves to be treated with the ultimate respect and not to be mocked with this Frankie Valli muzak.

You need to honour him with some real bands and singers like T Rex, David Bowie, Traffic, Fairport Convention, Joan Baez and Melanie.

Show some respect.

Welcome back Satyr and good health!

Good luck with your cd players, walkmans and pump up shoes dinosaurs.

Hardtrack is that performance on iTunes? Would be good to see.

And by the way Stevie Windwood is still doing some great stuff but then I am talking 10 years ago come to think of it. Dinosaur yes.

The CD is there for $15 EH, but not the DVD (well, MP4 or whatever the video format is). But the DVD is available locally from stores... follow this lnk to get all of the details of the content:

Hey, they wouldn't have made Jersey Boys if they weren't any good!

Plus they were awesomely spoofed by TISM.

I wonder if AFLPA have checked whether EssUndone started their injection program before the allowed period?

Fair dinkum, what a load of wankers.

FWIW there were 20 or so there this morning (I stopped briefly on the ride in this time). It seemed to be run by Jack Grimes, with Brad Miller and Brett Allison looking on, but not taking part (at least for the few minutes I was there).

Yes that is the first release I posted. The second came out immediately after the big ACCA news conference in Feb 2013.

And what does a failure to ask for reparation have to do with anything? I was responding to comments that the aflpa were soft on drug use

Ok they made some early denouncements.

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE ABOUT IT? What actual actions have the AFLPA taken? Its is now years after the events, and other than some lip flap they have done stuff all.

Edit:- By comparison, what happens in any other workplace? What about a building site? The workers would be on strike in a heartbeat , and the site closed.

Thank you for the advice, it is dealing with 12 year olds at interview, with me knowing I know at least twice as much as them, I'll get there

Completely off topic

Used to have 4 earrings, passé

Don't like cars

And spoil my looks

My lovely partner may find this disconcerting

Only drink light beer (and only Cascade or Boags)

Don't weekend and if I did it would be in the mountains

St Kilda, no sorry, Fitzroy or Carlton

12 year olds? You must be getting 2nd round interviews. hate the way they ask your DOB and then say that they don't care about age. Utter BS. They are scared that you will (and do) know more than them, especially if you have been working longer than they have been alive. Apparently I am too experienced and would not stay even if they gave me the job. Good luck with the job search.

Not supposed to ask the age. If asked date of birth I recommend giving day and month. 30th of May.

There is nothing to report, apart from small groups of players training before the official start, if they start next Wednesday, which looks likely, I'll wander down have a look and report back, if I remember my camera, will try and get a picky or two of anybody new, although think Garlett and Lumumba may start the following week

Off topic, WJ liked Four Seasons "Imitation Life Gazette", so not a stretch, but I am afraid I grew up listening to the American West Coast and Soul music records my Merchant Navy sailor Uncle used to bring back from his travels, so guitarist heroes Mike Bloomfield, John Cipolina and Randy California rather than Eric Clapton

Now you're talking! Quicksilver's live Happy Trails album was one of my favourites, I remember seeing Cipolina playing at the Roundhouse in London's Chalk Farm in 1975 as a guest guitarist with the Welsh band called Man... superb show! As as for Mike Bloomfield... the Live Adventures album and the Kooper Sessions live albums were nothing less than stunning. Another great one off band he put out an album with was KGB Band... Al Kooper, Rick Gretch and Mike Bloomfield being the members.

So that's where I met you first, I was friends with Man's original bassist, Ray Williams, and stayed a fan...C'mon and Bananas, may add Deke Leonard and Mickie Jones to favourite guitarists

I'd lie about the year for sure and blame it on administrative error if it ever came up after commencement.

I doubt once you show how awesome you are that they'd care anyway ;-)

I'm sorry but if I was an MFC player and Jack Grimes was telling me what to do, I'd have real trouble taking him seriously. Imagine him motivating Bernie Vince and Daniel Cross. Cringe-worthy.

Interviewers aren't meant to ask lots of things but there's ways around. As it is my Picard-like persona is a bit of a giveaway ( though have never attended wearing StarFleet apparel....though for one job it might have helped..lol )

I saw a bunch of them around 10.30 this morning at the bottom of Anderson St hill as I rode by, and they were looking as though they were about to embark on some Tan action. Interestingly, in light of the delisting news, I thought I saw Tappy there among them.

    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
