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.


THE SAGA CONTINUES - WADA APPEALS

When they make the mini-series about this I have some suggestions for the cast.

James Hird - Christopher Pyne (That annoying voice suits Hirds personality) or Lance Armstrong

Little - Danny Devito

Dean Robinson - Arnie Schwatzenegger

Mark Thompson - Johnny Depp

Stephen Dank - Meryl Streep - why not she has played nutters before

Shane Charters - Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman

Andrew Demetriou - Al Pacino

Edit: I forget Gil - Big Bird

You forget ManDee, it would be an Australian production, no doubt bankrolled by Channel 9.

Casting as follows:

James Hird - Lachie Hulme

Paul Little - Lachie Hulme

Dean Robinson - Lachie Hulme

Mark Thompson - Lachie Hulme

Stephen Dank - Lachie Hulme

Shane Charters - Lachie Hulme

Andrew Demetriou - Lachie Hulme

Special guest appearance by Lachie Hulme as Gillan Maclachlan

Paul Little should be Gilbert Gottfried. That smarmy little voice would be perfect.

Shane Charter, a dopy Matt Damon (Said like in Team America)

Andy D - take you pick of anyone who has played a mafia boss in the US.

I am speechless!:

"DEAN Robinson, a key figure in the Essendon supplements scandal, has landed a plum job with financial services giant KPMG — the AFL’s official auditor. Armed with a new MBA, Robinson started with the multinational firm on Wednesday, working in its agribusiness division.

It’s believed some staff are concerned at how the appointment might look, given the AFL is an important client."

The implication of the last sentence is that the AFL might be upset by the appointment but I wonder?

Some people might think the opposite: Have the AFL used their influence to get him this job!

I wonder what he is going to do in the agribusiness division?

Inject supplements to cattle and sheep!! :o

I initially saw it as the opposite, have the AFL teed up a job as part of the settlement between Robinson and the dons?

Either way it looks bad and they really should have been more careful.

I am amazed that anyone would employ him.

And, as an auditor?

After all, it does seem that he is pretty lax (or maybe very sly) at record keeping.

Totally discredited.

Did Gil the dill have a rôle in his appointment?

Any conflicts of interest?

Yes, but seriously, someone who cannot keep, or cannot find, very important records employed as an auditor?

Garbologist maybe, janitor, car park attendant......just not an auditor

Give the guy a break. It wasn't his job to keep records, it was danks. Good on him for reinventing himself and having the wherewithal to change careers, not to mention the discipline to get an MBA - difficult at the best of times let alone under the sort of pressure he has been under. EFC threw him under the bus at the first opportunity. He's not a villain.

Hear hear - It takes a great deal of courage and fortitude to go through what the weapon had to endure. I hope he does well in his new career.

Heard Gil on 3aw this morning he is still barracking for the players and by default the EFC.

Says he cannot understand why wada wants it out of Aus.

Arr they want an unbiased no AFL dominated stage Gil

Or has that escaped you.

The head of the AFL is worried about where a drug case against a team in the competition he presides over is heard rather than the correct result coming out? Wtf.

Agree, can't see the reason for the vitrol for him. The Dons f'd him totally. Good for him, working for the likes of KP let alone with his past would be bloody tough.

I am just staggered by all the talk in the media about the AFL withdrawing from WADA. We are told the code is not suitable for team sports, but no one details why. And that is in some way unfair to EFC and its payers But it seems to me that it is the other way around - it fails team sports in that it is too focussed on individual behaviour and not systematic club-wide cheating such as EFC (allegedly) has done.

    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
