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.

Great to see good people present this sacrilegious breach of our game in laymen's terms so that even the mediocre Media and the awful AFL can even understand the extent of their failings and do their penances.

Sorry to query you, but do you seriously think that the AFL will understand, or if they did, admit to, their failings? Or do any penance?  

Like so many powerful people in powerful institutions, their power has corrupted them and they will just bully their way through life, pandering to and promoting  the rich and famous regardless of truth or justice.

Most posters know why i present "carry on" here to the attention of posters and "sundry". I agree that it is most likely fruitless but hopefully the Game will become better if  ironically players become ill. How sad for us all.

Really!

I tried google translate via Spanish and this is googles take.

Well that makes about as much sense, certainly no less sense, than the original. 

Or for that matter this:

معظم الملصقات أعرف لماذا هذا "التحرك" هنا انتباه الملصقات و "غريب" ل. أوافق على أن أكثر الفواكه أقل احتمالا ولكن نأمل أن المباراة ستكون أفضل اللاعبين إذا المرضى من المفارقات. كيف حزين بالنسبة لنا جميعا.

No thanks,

I thought that the diversion to the Holy Roman Emperor and the discussion of Caligula's horse was fascinating but this latest dialogue has taken the thread to almost Twin Peak level

By the way who really did kill Laura Palmer? I kind of got lost in the Indian Smoking Lodge (or whatever it was)

Everyone see Reece McKenzie Facebook post?

Mental health is a far far more serious issue than illicit or PE drug usage.

not if it was brought on by drug use - horse/cart

Can be a bit of a circular thing this.

A lot of times people with mental health issues self medicate.

Or drug use can bring on a mental health issue.

Whichever it is 'Andrew', one is not more serious than the other.

They are both a major issue in our society as a whole not just sport or football.

According to etiquette, and going to the first poster first, i deliberated over this last post of mine, with some degree of complete inebriation. 

Aside from that (inebriation) explaining everything about the above post, it is meant to say if anybody in power reads our opinions on things, you like to think that it would do some good sometimes, or else Footy is buggered.

Sorry i took so long to respond....

Kudos to daisy for unraveling the mysteries of your rambling tome, and kudos to you for sobering up and remembering your line of thought.

That AFL really know when to make a decision. Soon, the adverb of choice providing no information whatsoever. Or to be precise the next week or so.

we should take odds on which afl decision will be made first (if ever) - whitfield or the downlow

poor l'il darlins have never had it so hard

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
