  • 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.

Mods (or Billy2803) please delete post no 4 in this thread. Deeply offensive

I find people bringing Heroin into Australia far more offensive personally

And even more offensive is the Media turning them into political heroes..

Just my opinion....

Seconded Clint.

I have no idea what the point of this thread is.

It's probably to confirm that the Melbourne Football Club must be on the right track, as amateur "journalists" like Damien Barrett aren't publicly sticking the boots in to our club. The fact that some have not noticed his poor reporting means that he is either sacked, not reporting on the MFC and focusing on some other topic, or that he is on extended leave in Indonesia.

The OP rightfully has concerns about the person that seemed to stalk us for the past few years, especially now that it appears he has left without a trace. It is understandable that someone would be concerned for his welfare, yet at the same time have a sense of relief that the bins at the MFC are no longer being raided by an insignificant nothing.

At last, something of substance, although I think you're probably being a bit generous to the OP.

Pretty much where i was coming from, he has seemingly dropped off the face of the earth, just curious if anyone was aware as to why he wasn't posting articles on AFL.com anymore.

Does anyone know if purple still Has his job or what the go is?

Haven't seen anything from him in a while

I can't fathom why anyone would bring up the subject of DB, let alone a discussion about the tool.

I'm hoping his absence is permanent.

Journo's are employed for one thing only.........................to write fairytales about happenings that don't exist in the real world. This sells daily rags apparently and in turn feeds these ravenous creatures along with their repugnant offspring. Occasionally there is a hint of actuality but this soon vanishes when truth is uncovered in their mind's own dungeons. It's a shame that much of the printed stuff that emits from their ramblings is not even suitable for mankind's most putrid daily ablutionary exercise. Ahh yes, journo's are not a flavour/odour that you could get comfortable with , nor be inclined to spend your hard earned sheckles upon nowadays.

Every sophisticated society rejects the death penalty.

Medieval rednecks love it.

I love it also.

Because stupidity deserves and gets punished.

Just like they said.

Pity the fool who smuggles massive amounts of H through Asia?

Nuh.

I'm pretty liberal in my views generally,but the death penalty is a valid option for elected governments to apply.

I would firmly disagree if this punishment was to be handed out by a Theocracy though.

Sharia or Isis or whoever these rags are deserve it equally because I find them distasteful.

They destroy antiquities several thousand years older than their religion.

Antiquities that predate their camel worship.

I can handle idiots murdering each other in the name of religion.

But spare the friggin museums.

Sorry to digress.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
