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.

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.

    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
