  • 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.


THE SAGA CONTINUES - WADA APPEALS



Recommended Posts

That's bollocks BB. WADA's decision to appeal does not negate the accuracy of reds comments about the standing of the tribunal members and the fact that is offensive to suggest they were somehow complicit in a corrupt, rigged outcome

I think you're getting ahead of yourself

Tell that to the Warren Commission.

beautiful rejoinder. posts like this lighten my day. nice to see a bit of humour on a depressing Friday afternoon, along with the usual character assassination, conspiracy theories, doomsayers, and the outright fruit cakes. Don't be offended fruit cakes I am kind of nutty myself hence all my bad habits. Where are those tablets?

AFLPA chief not buying in: AFLPA denies year-round hair testing has been agreed to

Here we have a classic example of a Tail wanting to wag the Dog...

Marsh strikes me as an empire building kkob. The entire AFLPA seem to be on another planet. Their warrant is to facilitare the welfare and conditions for players as it occurs WITHIN the context of the game, not to attempt to dictate above its station. If hair,blood, urine or any other testibg is deemed necessary in order to maintain compliance well then they (players) can bloody well suck it up.

Clearly the League needs to man up and remind these clowns (wannabe kings) just where all belong in the grwat scheme of things.

To dare the AFLPA has shown bizarre contempt for the health and wellbeing of the very individuals who actually require it.

The understanding of the rules and implementation of testing together with penalties should leave no room for neither misinterpreting nor non-compliance.

Thats why we're in this shlt !!

I think the AFLPA is looking at this issue primarily in terms of the players' civil liberties which its seeking to protect ahead of the other issue at play in terms of so-called "recreational" drugs. The problem is that, as we've seen with the two Collingwood players waiting on their B sample results, the lines between the two are blurred.

My concern is that the AFLPA should be looking after all of its constituents, particularly on health and safety which includes drug education and rooting out those involved in drug cheating and I don't believe they've done enough in recent years.

More bollocks Bb. Hair testing is about illicit drugs not PEDs. The players should flat out refuse hair testing and should refuse to be part of any testing regime outside of their wada obligations

If I were a player there is no way I'd agree to illicit drug testing unless it was policy across the entire AFL organisation. I'm no fan of illicit drugs, binge drinking or gambling but to take away people's civil liberties and right to be an as5hole is a bridge too far.

was i specifically refering to peds ? Was i

I tell you what i say black ..yiu can say white.

No time for your ccowning adversarial nonsenses.

Why should they refuse ANY testing that might show up anything illicit.

If correct protocols are implemented why should anyone object ?

Only someone with something to hide will.

maybe blurred...

It's an explanation of the Collingwood 2 that may or may not be right.

The AFLPA are basically a union, therefore you should not surprised by your description, especially as I can't think of one Union that doesn't act in that fashion.

Anyone see Gillon McLachlan and Paul Little sitting next to each other at the match last night? Gee that was special on a Friday night.

Looked about as chummy as me and the mother in law!

The next goal will be HUGE!

It my understanding that the players are just employees of their respective clubs?

Bit rough to compare an Association to a Union...

That is effectively what they are. How are they any different?

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
