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.

LOL @ DANGER SHARING TRADE SECRETS OVER GOLF. SPARE ME.

How is it a secret? It was pretty much common knowledge that that's what was going on. Trengove would've been a Tiger if their medical staff didn't pick up his foot issue.

Toughen up mate - there's always a few who have a bit of a sook.  The rest of us enjoy reading stuff like this and (usually silently) making our own judgement about whether the information is good or not.  I enjoyed your post - don't take things so seriously.  

Likewise with GNF - he obviously isn't a troll and has sources in the Club. Happy to hear what he knows without him being pressured to verify everything. It's a forum not a scientific journal with the necessity of rigorous referencing. I hope he is not put off from posting anything else he knows.

Well, to be honest, everything GNF said in his post had already been made public in a news article a week or two back (including the could take up to 6 months part)... the only thing that differentiated GNFs comments and that article, was that GNF has stated it as a fait accomplis;  personally, I very much doubt he knows any more than the rest of us.

Could well be right but I always am interested in his posts.

I don't disbelieve him/her per se, but I must say that the quality of posting disappoints.

I don't get any rumours from within the club, but if I did I'd be very careful how I handled them.  I certainly wouldn't post them if I had a skerrick of doubt and I wouldn't post them in a 'look at me' 'look at me' attention seeking fashion, which seems to be a core objective of said poster.  But with fanboys worshiping said rumours one can almost understand.

 

 

Having access to some great mail from other clubs myself, I find it strange that he only posts things like this recent "confirmation" where it's generally expected and/or easily explainable if it doesn't eventuate, not to mention exceptionally vague (next 6 months?!).

Yet, he doesn't seem to get mail on things like Weideman's first match, or feel like sharing something that he could have known with certainty, justifying any credit he is given for having inside knowledge.

That, and some info I passed on, then seeing the result of that, plus all the mayo he added onto it later.

Hit the nail on the head Mach5. Unfortunately you will get shouted down for this brilliant post by the delusional poster's who worships everything he types.

I remember a post he made before the start of the season which said "Confirmed: Weed will debut sometime within the next 6 to 24 months." 

He.was.right.

I'm not necessarily advocating all the perceived angst, but I also find it frustrating to see discussion which I'd normally enjoy derailed by offerings with such little substance.

Not to mention the fawning... It is sickening, monotonous and terribly obtuse. But each to their own.

"Fawning"? "Worshipping"?? Give me a break!

Far too much sooking by the "what about me??!!" brigade on this page.

What? Couldn't give a crap about me being able to add anything. It's just the annoyance as a thread is derailed by clearly falsified information, taken seriously by far too many. A little more caution in what you believe would not be misplaced.

And yes, fawning. Do you serious think there isn't any? Maybe not from yourself, but do you really want me to go back through & quote examples?

Heaven help anyone who has something interesting to share...

What would that be interesting?

A false "confirmation" that what is likely to happen will happen in an exceptionally vague timeframe?

If he can give us some real news, I'd love to hear it too.

I think it goes back to my point a few pages ago, this would be improved by simply ignoring those posts, currently we've had like 4-5 pages of posters smashing into GNF which is clearly far worse for everyone than the " Fawning" 

it's still as simple as if you don't like posts, ignore them.

I think the mods should seriously consider deleting quite a lot of the posts on the last few pages, they're not relevant to Jesse Hogan and they're clearly attacking another poster, rightly or wrongly the next person who wants to share information on here would have to think twice about it, because whether they have a good source or not, they'll get smashed by a group of posters.

Yep, seems very light or absent on the small every day stories of interest. Only offers the sensationalist stuff.

Not sure why anyone has a problem with GNF posting things like he did. As someone who doesn't live in Melbourne it's great to get the occasional bit of insider news through here.

Because there's serious doubts over the 'insiderness' of it.

Probably time we moved on though.

Posting he will re-sign within 6 months is hardly 'insider news.'

The 'signing in six months' isn't the revelation in GNF's post.  People are repeating that timeframe as a means of discrediting his source and information.

The fact that Jesse has officially told the club that he wants to sign on again is the new information that GNF has contributed to the discussion.  To my knowledge, no media outlet has stated that Jesse has definitely informed the club that he wants an extension.  

This therefore is new and interesting formation.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
