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

Never forget that the Hird camp have tried to destroy us over the last 24 hours.

Never forget that Mark Robinson of the Herald Sun let it happen and gave them the platform for it, then tried to dig up dirt on us in a shallow attempt to take the heat off the pathetic club he worships.

Geelong supporters wont forget , and nor should we.

If you have Twitter let the fat bald [censored] know what you think. [censored] Mark Robinson and [censored] the tabloid Herald Sun.

The fact is that Dank was a conman and three clubs were dumb enough to get get conned. All were looking at getting the stuff that others were getting. The only difference was that one of the club's had a coach who took the view that whatever it takes. The 3rd club had a dumb doctor who thought he was at the cutting edge. He was conned and forgot what he had learned at med school in regard to ethical medicine medicine. He could have done a lot of damage.

Good get...it is worth spelling out the exchange:

jamesmagner @jamesmag23 5h5 hours ago

@BMcLean_Ally @Robbo_heraldsun cheeky voicemail left by him yesterday sniffing around for a story on the dees! #writearealstory

biQJ9Vtf_bigger.jpegMark Robinson @Robbo_heraldsun 22m22 minutes ago
  • @jamesmag23 cheeky? Why go to Twitter and not ring me back. All I was going to ask was: did you get injections in the stomach...

    What a low act by Robbo...Hirds 'ambulance chaser'?

    Is Robbo so dumb that he needs to ask Magna: 'Why go to Twitter and not ring me back'

    Well done for Magna for exposing this low act!

Just wondering why he would have made a specific question about the location of the injection. Do they know the TB4 injections are done into the stomach (because that's where they got theirs)?

Can't see how any of our performances have been enhanced since 2012.

Yeah, anyone who thinks the Dees have been on performance-enhancing drugs has clearly done way too much LDS back in the sixties ... :blink::lol::unsure:

Like you, Red?

I know there's this thing about 'if you can remember the 60s you weren't there' but this might be taking proof of your credentials too far.

Loved Sellars remarks to Slobbo on 360 talking about his bad back incurred playing football, something like "how did you get yours fall off a bar stool?"

This comment (in response to why he didn't return the call) from Mags is gold:

jamesmagner@jamesmag23 1m1 minute ago

@Robbo_heraldsun I'm a busy man and only got the voicemail today! Not a huge fan of your work so there's no point in calling you back...

Haha even Brock McLean, James Kelly and Nathan Carroll were getting in on the action. Not very well liked amongst the players is that drunk weasel Robbo

He is not a [censored] he is a slimy disgusting piece of work. Deliberately targeting Magner as he had appeared to have left the Dees unhappy and then quickly dropped in to Ess this preseason. Horrible muck racker trying to push this story off onto others.

Nail. Head.

Didn't have much time for Magner before this but hat's off to him. His response was gold..

Robbo is a bloody disgrace. Sounds and looks as if he is drunk on stage. How does someone as professional as Gerald Whatley even bear to appear with him.

And congratulations to James Magner for his responses. Well done.

If you're paid to provide information and opinions in a public forum I would have thought it would be best to appear with people who make you appear smarter, better informed and more articulate. The better question is why does Mark Robinson put himself in a position which makes him look dumber, less well informed and inarticulate? I've probably answered my own question.

Interesting to hear Brendon Goddard's savage attack on the "cowards" who leaked the transcripts. And the players are also very [censored] off that they were sledged by GWS players last game over this issue. Given that Team Tird are the prime suspects for the leaks, how will the players respond next game? It appears to me the intent of the leaks could be to drag other clubs like us and Geelong to further muddy the waters. If so it may have been an enormous miscalculation by Team Tird if he is still trying to cling to power or else a diabolical tactic to force the clubs hand. All depends on what Tird's end game plan is.

Why do you think James Hird or his supporters are the "prime suspects for the leaks"? I would have thought the prime suspect was the manager of a player trying to extract something from Essendon such as agreement to a trade. Player managers using the media to pressure or even threaten clubs is not an unknown modus operandi.

Yes another possibility. I base my opinion that since the leaks were published by the Hun who throughout this saga have been all the way with Hird. And Hird appears to have a track record of leaking throughout this saga to the Hun. Edited by america de cali

Well it hasn't been asada or wada.... remember asada had the afp and deloitte investigate if the leaks came from them and they hadn't. Afl and essendon are the culprits. Just as bad as each other it would seem.

Essendon should probably start to realise that the afl have been on their side from day 1 - even sending hirdy os for a year has been so they look like theyve punished essendon in the eyes of asada/wada etc

The tragedy of MacBeth. Nobleman and warrior meets three sports scientists who prophesy that he will one day be coach of Essendon, and then premiership coach! MacBeth knifes the extant coach, but in his quest for power, his fear and paranoia causes him to turn on his own confidantes and supporters. Urged on by his wife, his catalogue of crimes grows until finally, when Windy Hill comes to Tullamarine airport, he meets his downfall. Beware of McDevitt!

And the witches with their prophesies are...?

Might I suggest Caroline Wilson, Mick Warner and Mark Robinson?

Robbo is the fine upstanding man who last year wrote a scoop article revealing the names of 14 of the Essendon players, and in the very same issue of the paper wrote an opinion piece lamenting that players' names had been leaked.

Yet he has the gall to call label some others as hypocrites!! Pot. Kettle. Robbo

Surely it is the club doctor at the club that actually used the stuff, who strangely still appears unscathed by AHPRA (Medical Board successor), who forgot all aspects of medical ethics, especially as espoused in the Helsinki Declaration on Human Medical Experimantation. Bruce needs at make a statement!

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
