  • 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.

James is right of course. Sam Mitchell was naive and idiotic to make the jabbing motion on Saturday. Tisk tisk I guess that makes those Collingwood cheer squad members leaning over the fence and making the same gestures last year in the game against the Bummers naive and idiotic as well. The Collingwood cheer squad is a barometer and a reflection of society. Could they be wrong?

Not Mt Eliza my friend.

Browny on "On the Couch" just showed footage of Essendon, including Mr Morality himself with black arm bands around the upper forearm right where the drip would be inserted.

Browny said that was idiotic and pretty much Mr Morality should pull his drug peddling head right the fuuck in.

Why is everyone against what Mitchell did? EFC deserve everything they get. Serves them right. They rolled the dice and lost.

And its not like it isn't true. It's factual.

Sorry can you give a bit more detail? What footage? Was it from that year of the black ops?

no, it was in reference to the brisbane injection regime.

it was known at the time, and lloyd has just said he 'can't recall' about it on classified.

do they breed lying sociopaths in tullamarine?

Yup just caught it as I flicked past FC. Lloyd is not a good lier let alone talker.

But this made me laugh.

"League operations manager Mark Evans warned players not to repeat the supplement scandal sledge, saying they should consider their own reputations before making another similar gesture.

(Players) have to accept they are displaying themselves publicly and it will be a reflection on them and their clubs, Evans said.

The AFL seem even more concerned about this small gesture than the fact an illegal, systematic drugs program occurred at the bloody club. Pathetic stuff as usual by the AFL.

Their desperate transparency in protecting ONE club for their abhorrent actions will ultimately be their undoing.

So in 2001 Essendon wore arm bands in the location that injections could have taken place and stated after the fact it was in protest to the opposition of the game in which they played but they didn't tell the opposition.

Sounds legit.

Wish I saw that

Hird is such a pathetic little hypocrite. He needs to [censored] off forever.

Well done Browny

There too many i's when it comes to the Hirdians.

I still prefer the y for why are you still here?

She may have 2 i s but certainly doesn't appear to have any eyes, or open ones anyway.

Its good to see some highly respected people (eg Mitchell, Brown) call Hird and the players out for the hypocrites they are.

I recall 14 of the other 17 coaches did not attend an AFL arranged dinner late last year to welcome Hird back.

No love lost with other clubs, clearly.

To top it off they keep losing!
This is sporting theatre at its best!!

I'm not against what Mitchell did. It is a well known fact that Essendon received penalties for governance issues (over injecting players).

I don't see how Mitchell should be looked upon a perpetrator here, he is merely pointing out that Essendon injected - which they did.

Sam Mitchell is an AFL footballer, he has the right to be a little bit annoyed that those around him have resorted to gaining an unfair advantage - through injections.

Mitchell should not have apologised, but in apologising he has saved himself a sh*t storm.

"AFL arranged"? To "welcome" Hird back??? Ye gods.

Well, any respect I had left for the AFL -- wait a sec. *checks to see if there are any dregs of respect left for the AFL -- finds there are none*

Carry on.

Mitchells apology was more along the lines of "kids shouldnt see that"

Not "i hope i didnt upset essendon"

Actually he didn't apologise from what I have seen. He regrets doing it and wouldn't do it again. Subtle difference but no apology unless I have missed something.

Re Mitchell: Nathan Buckley said on Fox 360 last nite "happened on the field, was based on fact, move on!"

He could have said that Mitchell was just "venting" cos he was cheated out of a Brownlow in 2012!

Can't imagine the pressure that'll be on us to beat the flogs if the Saints get over them next week. If we only get one more win for this year, I'd want it to be against the drug cheats.

Starting to enjoy Bucks on 360. He doesn't just waffle on with political mouthwash the way Roosy sometimes does; he calls a spade a spade.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
