  • 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.

Yes a business acquaintance of mine claims to know him very well and says the threat to take the AFL to court was all bluff. The Essendon hierarchy all knew what position they were in and Hird, Reid and co. just tried to bluster their way out of it. And are still doing so.

The whole Windy Hill mob have played the AFL quite well.  The AFL have tangled themselves up totally  in attempting to play this cute.

Both will start coming unstuck quite soon.

maybe but at what cost to the club?

 

Compare that with what some here were advocating when we were charged with tanking. Yuo are unlikely to win when fighting with City Hall. Best to make a strategic withdrawal..and live to fight another day.

So remind me again why the club doctor is still practising medicine let alone be allowed to be near a team of young men??

He has failed so much at so many levels. He is just a Hird fanboi.

That is a mystery to all of us, especially with work cover saying they were running an unsafe workplace that he had responsibility for. Very odd.

Chris, these young men are tech savvy. ASADA recommends checking with their site. You enter the questionable substance and the site tells you if it is illegal or not then gives you a response number to record that you have obtained the information. Why would none of the 34 have followed recommended procedure and checked if the substance was legal? (Rhetorical) They new they were cheating and chose to stay quiet.  

They may be tech savvy but they may not be too bright. They are also brainwashed by the AFL culture to trust the club, they are explicitly told to do so when they are told to check with the doc about the banned status. ASADA may say one thing but the players are fooled into thinking the club has their best interests at heart. I don't think many of them would have been clever enough to know when to question things, that is no excuse but it would be the case with many of them.

Not wanting to pick a fight, honestly, but whilst you may have good sources as far as i can recall nothing that has happened thus far in the EFC supplement saga indicates your sources have been spot on. I mean you certainly have pontificated alot and mentioned your highly placed sources often enough but as far i can tell what has actually transpired thus far has been predictable and in fact has been accurately predicted by many on this thread who have not claimed such sources. 

Happy to be corrected

All I can say there are about a dozen key turning points in this saga all of which were speculated about on here and about which I have written extensively.  Check the record for yourself if you don't believe me. I won't bore you all be listing them, but I am happy to stand on my record.

Happy to be bored. Perhaps list just one specific example that provides evidence of your sources being 'spot on'. 

I have read a fair bit of what you have written on this subject so don't feel the need to 'check the record'.

I think you are dodging binman's question.  While you may written extensively on many points, binman was asking about how often the predictions from your sources actually eventuated or were different to predictions made by others on DL.  I have also followed your writings closely and while I can think of a few of those predictions that didn't eventuate I can't think of any that did.

Happy to, but frankly have a full day at the office. Will try to when I get time.

Take my word for it. As someone who comes here to speak with Dees2014 and read his stuff, he has predicted everything that has happened, both the predictable things and the unpredictable things. He's reported things that will happen so far in advance that when it actually happens, people have forgotten he said it was happening. 

 

As vague as that sounds, I'm not going to waste time listing everything he's predicted, but if you want something of note that he predicted, find something unexpected that happened in the case, go back to 5-6 months before it actually happened and find Dees2014's posts and it'll be somewhere near there.

You do realise they're cheats. You'd have them prosper?

What about the non-cheaters ?

BBub, I take my hat off to you for your tenacity, persistence and consistency in prosecuting your argument. I ran out of puff a long time ago but you are one to have in the trenches. I have not agreed with all your comments, but your position remains steadfast and for that you have my admiration.

None of that absolves AHPRA from doing their duty and at least interviewing Reid.  They chickened out.

Not their role BB, in fact many GPs are not members of RACGP. It is AHPRAs role however. In most cases AHPRA will only investigate after a complaint by another member of the medical profession or an aggrieved patient who in this case could be an aggrieved footballer or ex footballer.

Interesting.. I would have thought that since he still maintains a practice that he would still fall( somewhere ) under their umbrella.

I sit corrected.

You are entitled to your opinion Ted but that is not my experience.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
