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.

Any new evidence may make that irrelevant.

Nothing to see here. Just shows that Barrett is a [censored] and someone at Essendon must have incriminating pictures of Dank with a goat or something, as he seems to have records from a short time at Melbourne, but nothing for nearly a year at Essendon ...

This little story surfaces the week we play the Pies, who are desperate for a win, as are we, though, they are playing far worse than us and are getting caned in the media.

It comes hot on the heels of an admission, by Bucks and Eddie, that the recent Pies drugs story affected their games.

Anyone see this [censored] on the footy show tonight.  He has tried to connect us with Dank and supplements scandle over 3 years now..He will not leave it alone and now suggests that WADA is going to reopen a case on us. 

The club needs to get on the front foot and smash this [censored]. He is a parasite. 

 

What if he's right?

Hopefully he is not, though:

No mention of injecting players.

Only mention was of Craig asking him about testosterone of players. 

Craig has denied any wrongdoing.

We were investigated and cleared. 

I think AOD was mentioned and that has been cleared by ASADA.

We are dealing with a statement allegedly made by a totally discredited, banned, low life, who ASADA would not trust at all.

It comes out in the week we play the Pies.

Even if there was substance to this -  we'd just do a Cronulla Sharks plead deal with backdated suspensions - no one would follow Bombers path ever again -  and ASADA wouldn't want to be in Courts again.

But jeez that Barrett is grub  -  was obviously bullied at school.....

Unfortunately, Dank was involved at many clubs, and I'm sure there would be a few club chiefs sweating on what this erratic nutcase is going to say next.

And it serves clubs right for getting involved with such a piece of work, potentially including us.

Poor Damian cant handle the though of the Demons once again being a force

We have the youngest in the league team and yet we almost rolled his beloved decrepit Kangaroos.full of grandpas.

And he knows full well we had the likes of Garlett, Petracca, Brayshaw, Weideman and Trenners either unavailable or waiting in the wings.

Damo keep crapping yourself son, the Dees are coming hard and the Kangas will once again be pretenders.

I haven't been able to bring myself to open the Bombers Swiss Adventure thread and I cringe at the righteousness re. the Essendon 'drug cheats' on here. I've been dreading something like this for a while now and my MFCSS fully expected it to spring up once we were seemingly on the rise. We were up to something shifty and it strangely and quietly went away after some early stern words in the media from Vlad. Dank is a [censored] of the highest order with a huge ego and a vengeful mind who holds a lot of secrets. Barret is a [censored] of the highest order with a bullied-kid ego and a vindictive mind who is told a lot of secrets by other vindictive minds. This isn't good and there's no point sitting in the pulpits pointing out that these guys are pricks. The only advantage is that we now have friends at AFL house. If this breaks, the board should immediately announce we're taking the previous administration to court for wilful mismanagement. It could serve to alter the Ship of Theseus perceptions that underlie sporting clubs and give the AFL and media something to work with.

Investigated, cleared, have records and from memory any injections the players were having back then were from the doctor. Not some nurse in an off site tanning salon.

Can't be investigated again unless new evidence comes to light and Dank has said he wont speak to ASADA.

Also if this story had legs, don't you think other journo's would also be all over it? Yet as of 7:30am this morning, nothing on the AFL, The Age or Herald Sun websites.

What are the odds this story disappears after sunday?

I don't understand the casual dismissiveness here based on no inside knowledge. I probably feel like the pessimists felt when idiots like me were predicting a twelve goal win against the Dons. Time to quietly back out of this thread for my own sanity. I wish PJ all the best. This may come to be his biggest test.

Funny how Dank can now say all sorts of things about Bock and us yet is still silent on the Dons. I wonder when he will try and put Geelong in the gun.

Dank is like the soldier in the war movie who's terminally wounded and seizes up and as he collapses his machine gun goes off sending bullets flying in every direction. Everyone has to duck for cover until it's over.

Maybe if we did cheat he just wants everyone that cheated to be treated the same. His form of fair and equitable treatment. 

His form of fair and equitable treatment is getting a payout like his mate Robinson.

Having Dank on the books doesn't mean we have anything to worry about.  Last time I checked, it wasn't illegal to employ a sports scientist.  

Didn't we claim Dank wasn't on the books? It's probably illegal to mislead an ASADA enquiry.

That's why this will go nowhere. Even stuff he says that might be true will be treated with deep scepticism.

Didn't ASADA just reopen a case on Bock based on some Dank scuttlebut?

In relation to the Bock case.

The national anti-doping agency said Dank continued to be unhelpful.

The statement also said that ASADA needed reliable evidence to pursue doping allegations.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
