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.

Is Dank / Saty the real Keyser Soze?

Kevin Spacey on a scooter. Is there an image of that out there on the Internet?

Move on Barrett... you are fu#$en pond scum parasite.

Demons already cleared by ASADA

Comparing Barrett to pondscum is a little harsh. Pondscum, also known as 'microalgae' is used to make vitamins, proteins and some dyes. 

Barrett on the other hand, serves zero purpose.

Not true. Barrett, like all humans exhales CO2, which is very important for growth in plants. Unfortunately though what Purple coughs out appears to be laced with quite an unusually high volume of CH4

He has a new show coming out called "Felch Warbler Confidential".

Tells you how he extracts his information.

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.

Correct.

I would consider Geelong whilst under Thompson, whom had Dean Robinson as his fitness boss would have more to be concerned about than Melbourne.

Hang on, didn't those two work together at Essendon, too? :ph34r:

On the bright side, if Dank coughs up and puts us in the [censored] we wont be missing too many players as there arent many left. On the downside if he does dump us in it and it is team wide then from memory the players are Jones, Gawn, Watts, Dunn, McDonald, Garland, Dawes?,  and Frawley and Clarke at other clubs. That would be the end of any winning we may do. 

On the plus side again, if we have records as we apparently do, and the players didn't sign any forms agreeing to be injected with banned drugs, then we are in a much stronger position than the Dons were. We also got cleared by ASADA so that gives me some confidence. 

Wonder if Ess would be interested in merging with us and becoming the Melbourne Demons.

Surely not.

I can think of very few alternative punching bags that would motivate me to throw some haymakers. Barrett has a massive future in marketing fitness equipment shaped like his head.

Well, maybe Joe Daniher.

I think it was Barrett, or maybe King, who slammed us in the Kelly for Tyson and Salem deal, saying we had traded away a Brownlow medallist.

I know it is only one game, but stats for Kelly in a 15 goal win, were 17 disposals and 1 goal with 5 tackles, while Tyson in a 6 goal win was 24 disposals, 2 goals and 6 tackles and Salem 20 disposals and 5 tackles.

Seems we are doing well out of that trade so far.

BTW, Kelly doesn't look like a Brownlow medallist to me, on the games I have seen him play, both against us and other teams.

It was Barrett, and he then admitted he had never even seen Tyson play.

Kelly has never overly impressed me despite huge wraps on him. He is a nice player, like a Whitfield, but I don't see much more than that though.

He also seems very slight. Certainly has talent.

Just watched the AFL wrap with Lloyd and Barratt. Lloyd is barely literate and, guess what, mention of Melbourne's win against the E Coli Wobblers was NIL

I was astounded by that. Not just because we didnt get any airtime but because Collingwood are in a crises....and that ALWAYS gets airtime. My own theory on Barrett as a North supporter is that he probably realises that the heat is going to come on at sometime for a team to relocate.  Melb/ North Melb/ StKilda are the three runts of the AFL litter and I think he wants Melb to be less relevant that the roos. I miss Lyon on the TV. He did give us a whack at times but at least I knew he would give us a plug when we deserved it.

Even if Kelly turns out to be the second coming of Jesus that  is not the point.

If a journalist wants to make a comparison between two players they should have knowledge of the two players they are comparing. To admit that he had never seen Tyson play tells me what a hack journalist he is.

He is a hack but no journalist Nut. Does he have a degree in journalism from a reputable university? Irrespective, I see him as a football reporter whose only reason for being or relevance is to break stories. This means that guys like DB are desperate for stories and therefore proper fact finding and checking, research methods and balanced reporting go out the window. He needs stories week in week out and that's just what happens.....he provides stories for his employer that justifies his role. Basically, guys like Barrett should be ignored. It's a bit like the old Truth newspaper for those old enough to remember. Truth was a misnomer for rubbish and Barrett pedals rubbish. He has no conscience so he does not care and probably delights in the criticism and commentary around him because it feeds his ego and means that he is being noticed, something common to all egotists. The only answer to football scribes like DB and Lloyd and their negativity toward the Dees is that we keep on winning and build a record of sustained success.

That's pretty rough Daisy, hopefully, readers prefer my novels over listening to Barrett, being sozzled is beside the point. But I get your angle.

didn't mean to be rough ernest, mainly pointing out the fact he writes scribbles FICTION (i doubt whether it would have any redeeming aspects even as fiction)

sports journalism in melbourne just gets worse every year

Barrett is a FARK stick of the highest order and also an oxygen thief. 

It always staggers me blokes like Barrett and Ralph continue to degrade themselves in the footy media. Listening to ex-players just take the absolute micky out of them constantly. They call Barrett "purple" to his face. Lloyd, Ox and one other were disregarded or totally debunked anything Jon Ralph was saying on Sunday radio. It was embarrassing for him. Yet they keep doing it.

The first line should apply to anyone. The second goes beyond just journalism but illustrates his poor form in any professional capacity. His full-time job is reporting on the AFL. I find it staggering that over the course of a couple years he hadn't once taken an interest in checking out a #3 draft pick.

Wouldn't mind Kelly off half back to release Salem into the middle though. ;)

    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
