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.

I never take notice of people that can't articulate a position, but instead resort to insults.  Comments in poor taste to a senior journalist don't represent "violence to women" and nor are they representative of me because I hold a view as to their nature.

I'll tell you to stick to snide remarks, because you know nothing about football. 

More compelling, self serving commentary.

You should be ashamed to pen that narrative.

But, your modus operandi is sniping every poster that disagrees with you - you know what? Bring it! I'll debate you on any topic you want.

Let's go.

Actually I don't think Eddie was being sexist. It's not Caro the woman he hates, it's Caro the journo.

But his timing was exquisitely bad, being on the heels of the "White Ribbon" anti-violence against women round, and CFC's announcement of a women's team!

Big focus on women and he comes and and says he'll pay money to drown a journo who happens to be a woman.

He's got his finger right on the pulse, this McGuire. (Not.)

Yeah bad timing,  insensitive and stupid,  but the people trying to push the sexism connection are doing no service to the whole feminism movement. 

The whole point is to be treated equally,  not put on a pedestal or protected because of one's sex,  that defeats the purpose of equality. 

The guy's who push the sexism agenda the strongest are usually the most desperate with the women in hope for brownie points lol

Sniping ?  If you'd said that you disagree and enunciated why I wouldn't have had an issue.  But all you did was make an uninvited snide response. 

And YOU talk of sniping.

A joke you are. 

You and I suspect most others on this thread are probably nasty loud mouth left-wingers, who can't abide the opinions of others.

Yes they do, you must be one of those who think violence can only be physical, I knew a lady who was beaten up mentally every day by her partner till she eventually killed herself just to make it end

I am stunned that Eddie still doesnt get it.

His comments were sexist and obscene and definitely part of the problem

Caroline Wilson says so, and as the recipient her view is all that matters

Phil Cleary on ABC today made it very clear... this behaviour of 'the boys club' remains part of the problem .... and we still have a long way tp go and a lot of learning to come. 

AFL's response was OK but very soft... 

Listening to Dermie on SEN 'explain things .... a la 'it was just a joke' made me feel unwell.

 

So what was it when tony shaw said the same thing to Carro?

She can't have it both ways

I've answered that old man. 

They made jokes about arguably the most senor (and combative) journalist in town.  Her sex wasn't the cause of the comments and should have no bearing whatsoever.

Happy to debate loud mouth nasty lefties.

I am too lazy to go through 10 pages on something which has blown out of proportion unnesarily however I agree with your stance on this. It was simple banter that had nothing to do with sex until Caro cried poor and made it about Sex.

You may out of luck as isn't there an unwritten rule that you can't be a lefty and support Melbourne? Loud mouth and nasty should be easy to find.

You have answered with something I don't agree with, they made jokes about pushing and holding a woman under water, hence it became about violence against women, which bit don't you get, thanks youngster

Holding a "journalist" under water.  Why are you so stereotypical towards professional females in the workplace  ?

It was in poor taste and unnecessary, but it wasn't a comment about domestic violence against women.

You won't win around here mate. 

I have worked with some of the toughest (female) journalists during my time at the ABC and they gave as good as they got. 

It was never an issue of gender but whether they could nail a story...

Think you need to put the bottle down for just a minute and actually read what I am typing, I have two femaie bosses who I have respect for, they are good leaders irrespective of what gender they are

Not sure which bit you don't get, even speaking about violence against women, is violence against women..it should not have been said, even in jest, McGuire has history of inappropriate comments

Your whole attitude to this issue smacks of the old 'Me Tarzan, you Jane' attitude

No it wasnt a comment about domestic violence, it was a comment about violence towards a women who happens to be a Journo. Making comments that disrespect women and about violence towards women, no matter their occupation, is not good and contributes to the problems we have with our culture towards women, and there is a problem.

I see Wilson as a senior professional.  You see her as a female. 

The comments were not gender specific.  They were about a combative journalist.  A senior journalist. It's a pity you can't see Wilson as a professional first and foremost and have to resort to the type of stereotype that women in the workforce have been fighting for decades. 

An issue for you.

    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
