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.

So did you believe $cully when he spoke down the barrel of the camera telling us that he wanted to be a one club player?

(example of the prepared statement)

did you believe Jake Carlisle on the boundry line last year when he let his feelings be known??

a simple Yes or No answer will suffice....

the scenario with McCarthy is very similar, so i haven't missed your point Stuie

SWYL, honestly mate, I'm not having a crack at you here, but let's just say we're not connecting with what each other is saying.

My whole point is McCarthy very well could have been saying something but thinking something else (just like Scully). That's why I'm disagreeing with those using an official club interview with him as evidence to say he was completely happy there.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to argue now.

I am saying the prepared statement is Complete Bullshite most times. 

Jake Carlisle was brutally honest & so both scenarios are very similar. 

I have no sympathy for McCarthy at all, as he has used a crutch to break a contract, no doubt he will be in a Shocker Jumper next year. 

Similarly with Mitch Clark he used the black dog to break a contract and get another one. Mitch has made a lot of money playing a very small amount of games. 

He had a lot of me time to make wedding videos. 

I wonder how McCarthy will keep himself busy now his anxiety attacks  will ease up dramatically...?

Mate, that's what I've been saying the whole time re: prepared statements. You've been arguing with me on the point I was actually making. We're in the same camp there.

The rest of your post however is typical of you. Everything is a conspiracy and everyone is up to no good but you. Unless you happen to be the doctor/psychiatrist/psychologist for both of those players then you really have no idea what you're talking about and saying they're both lying about their mental health issues is a typical sniper effort by you.

IF it comes out one day both lied, then I will join you in condemnation, but at this stage there has been NO evidence to suggest either have so I will not join you in laying the boots into guys who are already down.

Not asking you to lay the boots into anyone. The players are now doing it to clubs. We just pay them...

Chook fowler if following scenairo occurs:- politicians decide to deem themselves having mental health issues knowingly that they are going to get kick out office and hence getting compensation from the public would you consider that fair? If you are made redundant or cannot find work for a long time I can understand that you could end up with mental health issues. However you cannot sue your recent employer. Why are footballers any different than anyone else? I am not driving the problem underground,Cam would go into the system like everyone else who is suffering from the same sort of problem. Footballers are not demi gods.

By the way chook fowler where did you think some of the money comes to pay out Mitch Clark for his so called mental health issue? Gaming machines,some people has lost their homes,families and jobs, they have also developed mental health issues themselves but no compensation from the MFC of course. Pschology is not a real science and sometimes cannot be proven to be accurate.

That's quite a rant ENYAW. I can't remember saying anything in this thread about Mitch Clark because there are many differences in his situation to that of McCarthy. I also fail to recall where I advocated gambling and how it is relevant to this issue. As to psychology being not a real discipline you must be taking the [censored]. You obviously have one big chip on your shoulder.

I don't know why people keep bringing this up. You can't simply declare yourself to have a serious mental health issue any more than you can declare that you have cancer or a serious heart problem.

These are all medical conditions, mental or not, and can be diagnosed as such.

Yes, but there are those who refuse to accept such diagnosis... am I right on that count ENYAW?

I presume you're talking about psychology, and there are plenty of places on the net where you can take it up, and plenty of people who will disagree with you.

However, areas such as neurology and neuropsychology are definitely scientific areas of study, and there are a range of mental health conditions where there are real, observable, changes in the physical structure of the brain and in the way it operates.

Once again, on the level of a serious mental health issue, this has nothing to do with "I'm having a bad day".

Agree with sywl.  Has Cam so called anxiety been confirmed by a neurologist  ( neurology is a true science ). Manipulation is a form of psyschology,governments use it to obtain the desired outcomes that they want. Cam and Mitch are also using it to reach their desired outcome.Let just keep paying players for not playing matches!!!!!!!!!

Not quite true....You can if you work for the Health Services Union or the Fair Work Commission...

Or if you are about to be called by a Royal Commission...hmmm let me think if there are others. Oh yeah, I don't like the footy club contract I signed a year ago.....

    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
