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.

As well as that ManDee and OD, you also have to wonder if so much of the infantile denial is because a good number of the 750 other players may not be all that innocent or even now if they are or not.

Where do they get these imbeciles?

One after another goes off half cocked, espousing their fantasy worlds, I suspect very few have read all the available documentation.

Margaret Wenham " The CAS finding also arose from it accepting WADA’s evidentiary “cable”, with that cable comprising “strands” of evidence. But, as far as I can see, there is no irrefutable proof TB-4 was given to the players and no evidence the players thought or knew they may have been supplied with it".

How does she reconcile the fact that on many occasions the 34 lied to ASADA investigators saying that they took no supplements? There were thousands of injections and not one player thought to mention it!

Many sportsmen have been banned on intent. You don't need a positive test Margaret. The players new what they were doing was risky, that is why they lied. Are there any real journalists out there? 

I am sick to death of the fan boys/girls.

 

so "comfortable satisfaction" now has to be "irrefutable proof". just where do these journos get their basic legal skills from? reading bomberbliz probably.

I think a more important question is where do these journo's get their basic journalistic skills from ?

I suspect that a large number have never done journalistic training nutbean.

I think are large number are sports people who started writing articles after they finished playing their respective sports.

Although I assume that Essendon FC can't pay for Mick or any other coach, fitness or otherwise. Perhaps a sponsor could. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Or some millionaire ex president with a Little spare ca$h?

You know when you buy a coffee and you sometimes get a card that gets stamped, 10th coffee free dealeo? You can either take the free coffee or Arts degree.

So an arts law degree comes in your tenth pack of pop tarts then? Sounds about right.

Id be fascinated to hear. My info on the matter is really only from 2 sources. The  press ( which is not really information) and this forum. So a glimpse into other worlds would be appreciated.

 

Well, to expand a litle.  One ,...a brother in law ( actually both are ..lol )  teh non past AFL player but ardent  Collingwood supporter  seem to reflect the Essendon logic . Couldnt get his head around the idea of how WADA could go to CAS with  a case de novo. He struggled even as to why the 34 would go to the Swiss tribunal  , why not appeal to the high court here. I tried to explain the jurisdiction angle.. but he wasnt hearing it lol ( he is a bit deaf as well...lol )  Thought it silly we were even under the code.. "it's footy !! "

The other b-i-l ...ex player was strangley more open to my explanations.   As I unraveled the mess for him he came to see what the fuss really was about but was curious why the AFL  bought into the code. I explained the government money  etc would dry up overnight if they didnt and it would be far harder for Footy to compete agaisnt other codes if they were ostracised from Government endorsed policies/grants/help etc.

 

All in all one was educated by the discussion  the other wouldnt here of it. Both epitomised  the typical punter. i.e   didnt really know much of the ins and outs....just what the papers said !!!

 

they asked how I knew so much...I said ..I dont believe papers !!   I investigate :)

QUOTE:

Mr Dank's standing in the community will be a central issue in this trial.

As Mr Evatt said: "We are not born with a reputation", instead it was earned as we aged.

A reputation he explained was "what people say about us behind our back".

 

Nothing more need be said - this says it all.

Extract: 

Is the case really going to be conducted in French?

Oui. Yes. We're waiting for official confirmation of procedures from the Swiss court, but from what we've been told all the documentation so far has had to be translated into French.

CAS is based in Lausanne, i.e., French-speaking, so you would imagine in French.

These guys look really fit and would be perfect cultural fit for the Drug Lords as top up players.

So no need for the Swiss Trip.

    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.
