  • 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.

Dank may well have sunk Bock with his statements, especially the name of the pharmacy as they may actually have kept real records. Dank doesn't probably realise he just sunk his appeal of the attempted traffic charge, although it may now be a traffic charge instead!

he also maintains asada told him it was not banned at the time.......haha

Makes me wonder if he is confused and is getting the advice from someone with the same acronym? Maybe he has registered the Australian Society Against Drug Abuse name and he just asks himself.

everytime he admits something (intentional or not) he always throws in something like this which can be wishy washy to excuse himself of any wrong

the master of double speak and obfuscation. but the press still fawn all over him

If Dank said it was night time I would go outside to check.

Save time - put on the sunglasses and sun block and go straight outside.

After leaving the Suns, Dank had stints at Cronulla in the NRL, Essendon and Melbourne - the latter where he worked for about four months before the Bombers' saga exploded in February, 2013. Dank is weighing up whether to release details of his time with the Demons.

 

Four months?

The man is toxic. Even Robbo's in on the act, already pre-empting this last week by mentioning Dank at Melbourne on 360. They simply will not stop in their efforts to distract people from what happened at Essendon.

Don't trust anything from companies associated with News Limited. They have tentacles all over the media landscape and have fought for Essendon the whole way, due to links higher up the hierarchy. Rich people have rich friends, and sadly Essendon are almost the richest in town.

And yet they don't see that their efforts are counter-productive. They want people to come around to thinking that "Essendon have been hard done by".

But by trying to drop Bock, MFC, Geelong in it, it becomes harder to maintain the idea that Suns, Demons, Cats were all on banned drugs ... but somehow Essendon weren't.

It becomes harder to maintain the idea that "Dank went rogue" when you're trying to demonstrate that he was doping players with impunity everywhere he went.

Journos like unbiased, agenda-free, only-seeking-the-truth-it's-got-nothing-to-do-with-getting-Essendon-off Chip "Essendon did nothing wrong, they were just victims of their own disorganisation and Dank-gone-rogue" le Grand, and d1ckheads like Robbo are not actually helping their cause.

I thought wasn't he working at Geelong, Hawthorn and the Backyard Woodchucks as well, peddling placebos?

"News Limited", "agenda".

"Hand", "glove".

"Peaches", "cream".

New Limited, the ethics-free zone.

Wow. First i have heard of this. 

Not suprised that Dank is throwing Bombs at everyone now. He has nowhere to go and he will take a few scalps. 

Who was our CEO during that 4 months? (I thought it was 2-3 weeks)

So in 4 months i wonder how much our previous CEO new about what was going on. 

Could be time to speak Schwab & this time it better be solid facts rather than your smug BS. 

4 months is enough to do a lot of damage...

If he was at the club for 4 months instead of the back way through the doctor and it turns out weve been lying about it all, this club and sport will lose me forever. It will actually be the final straw for me

It's scary to think that Dank was allegedly with us for 4 months. How long does it take to give an injection  or a 1000 and what was he doing here?  I also find it ludicrous he could be pursuing an unfair dismissal claim after so many years unless with an agenda to profit himself.  He could be squeezing clubs  for a cash settlement because anything he says be it true or false can do untold damage to any club he has been associated with. He may have us and GC by the short and curlies.

I wouldn't think that is right. I don't believe he was ever on the payroll. He had an arrangement with Dr Bates that was terminated when the club found out about it as I understand it.

Mud throwing by a bunch ferals trying to divert eyes away from the real issues.

That was what I thought. First I heard of 4 months, so I raised it in case there was any reliable information on this.

Apart from numbskulls like Slobbo and unbiased and wholly agenda-free truth seekers like Chip, everyone is awake to the self serving and barely credible Dank agenda.

1. "I know where the bodies are buried"

2. "Do you really want to appear in a court/tribunal or would you rather shut me up? I can't talk with a mouth full of dollars."

Even if he blabs I don't think it will go anywhere. Annoyance factor only.

the inability of asada to force an interview or sub poena is a disaster for them in investigations that don't have +ve drug test results

They do now (introduced in 2013). I don't know whether they can use them for events/investigations begun before that year. They couldn't in the EFC case because of timing although this was stepped around, at least with the players, because of the AFL's powers.

Hopefully one of the lawyers around here can add something, but I'd hope that Dank's claims might allow ASADA to declare their investigation a new one and use their current powers, including compulsion. Would love to see Dank hoist with his own petard ... syringe.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
