  • 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.

The very last thing we need right now is to be involved in any sort of controversy.  We are slowly but surely starting emerge from the 'dung heap' of the last decade, but we are still in a 'fragile' state.  Any whiff of an odour emanating from what Barrett is peddling needs to be doused quickly, before it can impact in critical areas such as player retention and recruitment and memberships.  We don't need setbacks!

claims some qualification in biochemistry fwiw

He is a pharmacist from memory. Started higher studies in other areas but never finished them. On of the funniest Essendon supporters I have heard was defending Dank saying he did all the work for a Phd but didn't finish because he didn't write it up, WTF!

Meh. Not the least bit worried.

But if something does come of it, we take our medicine the Cronulla way.

Not rioting. The other one.

Yeah, just brilliant.....

I recall Dunn's name also coming up at that particular time. And I don't think it was the ointment.

If I recall Dunn & some others had a Vitamin injection or something.

Anyway it was cleared because it was prescribed & documented.And injected by a qualified nurse I think.

As for Warriors report, he didn't state ASADA were interested in anyone other than Bock, based on Dank's BS.

He just likes to embellish things by implication and not statement of fact.

"From what I can tell he's got a physiology or pharmacology degree,'' Bishop, a research leader at Victoria University, said.

In February Dank told an interview with the ABC's 7.30 that he had a degree in biochemistry from the Queensland University of Technology, and was a PhD candidate (suspended last year) at the University of Sydney for a thesis on antioxidants.

It is believed Dank undertook a Masters degree in sports science at the University of NSW in the mid 1990s, but it is unclear whether he graduated.

"We have searched our system and have not been able to find a record of a Stephen Dank graduating from UNSW,'' a university spokeswoman said yesterday.

One of Dank's lecturers at the University of NSW, Kevin Norton, described him as a likable and intelligent student, but added "I can't say for sure that he qualified for his Masters."

"I'm not sure whether he graduated or not,'' Norton said.

I could remember it was one of the pharma's. Pretty sure I did read somewhere it was pharmacy, oh well, it doesn't really matter because he does appear to have some sort of qualification.

No further than having discussions with Bates and exchanges with Dunn as presented on the 7.30 report some time ago. I'm sure there is more information available if you go looking but frankly I can't be bothered.

He was "around".  That's enough to make me very weary.  

I am both weary and wary but there is a huge difference between the club engaging Dank or anyone else in a formal, legal sense and in the course of such engagement that person breaching AFL rules and having discussions with employees. Various people at the club "engage" with people on that level every day and it doesn't mean that any AFL rules have been breached or that anything sinister has taken place.

thanks chris.

if it was pharmacology or physiology it would just be a straight BSc degree (with one or both of these as a major i.e. 3rd year subject)

I know because i have a major in pharmacology not that it was ever of any use to me - lol

Story's dead, no-one's touched it since last night.

If there was a problem we'd know about it by now. 

Agrer 100% and i posted the same at 7:30am this morning. The fact that no one else has run with it after approx 20 hours now says all that needs to be said.

When slobbo broke the story about the filth with recreation drugs it was everywhere. No one at work today even mentioned it around the water cooler. 

Time to move on.

unless dank has hard evidence that asada is going to believe then this is going no where. Even if he has hard evidence he has already demonstrated that he is an uncooperative and unreliable witness so again, no action can be taken. He is just a monkey trying to rattle the bars to get attention, but a monkey looks cute, he just looks a fool.

Apparently Barrett is denying the use of multiple testosterone creams on his face.

Sauces on the beat of this information have indeed confirmed he has been taking loads facially as well as ingesting.

Many men are involved and Barrett is not confirming the reports as yet but his acne scarring has healed rapidly due to his man made concoctions according to anonymous reports.

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
