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.

Glen Jakovich said nothing out of place. Connolly should not even comment on the game after the damage he was part of at The MFC. 

The All Australian is 22 spots

that is all you can fit

Are you serious? 60% of clubs have tanked in one form or another. We got thrown under the bus unfairly. CC and bailey were made scapegoats. I hated it when we were tanking, but to say that CC shouldn't be allowed to comment on football is mind-numbingly stupid.

Answer this. Should Bomber Thompson be allowed to comment on football given that he was part of something far more heinous than CC?

Jakovich was correct in his response apart from getting personal. For this he's a moron.

We have different opinions

CC thought it was all a joke when we were tanking. 

It was anything but. Scapegoat. Not sure about that

Connolly and Schwab were up to their necks in it all. 

I would love to get personal with both Connolly and Schwab

fked our club good and proper

Jakovich went way over the top. He can stick his tanking fair up his ass.

 

Did Connolly criticise his choice of W.A players alone, or did he mention that there will always be a massive question mark of the thought processes of anyone who played for the Eagles in Jacko's time, because of the rampant drug use?

 

[censored] him.

Different Topic. As Jako says "who comes out of the side to accomodate Lachie?"

when i hear Connolly talk tactics on ABC Radio i have to switch it off.

For me he lost all cred over the Tanking issue. He wasn't alone. But as a coach he should have known better. Playing to lose is very dangerous.

Not a different topic at all SWYL.

Jackovich absolutely teed off on Connolly, and brought up the past to back it up, including a huge slight on our club.

 

One already dead and another on the way, from drug use that was present while Jacko was playing. Connolly hasn't stooped to that level, so why would Jacko go in so hard?

Glass houses Glen Jackovich, glass houses.

Glen was the best CHB in the 90's in a very tough era

What he said about Connolly was fairly harsh but it wasn't wrong

Now if anything is irrelevant to what he said, it's that.

Anyone who lines up our club in that fashion when it's completely uncalled for, can gagf.

He wasn't even accurate - Connolly was at Melbourne during the late 80s when we were successful and higher up the pecking order than West Coast. He also took Freo to their first finals series and the their first Prelim. To call both sides 'crap clubs' is untrue. 

Connolly didn't cover himself in glory with the tanking stuff, but whilst tanking is out of vogue now, it was very much in fashion back then. Clubs that went on to win premierships clearly tanked. 

Perhaps the weirdest thing of his whole rant was that he said he "flew the flag" for the WA clubs with regards to All-Australian selection. Um...shouldn't you just picking blokes on merit?

I think Jakovich  got a bit too personal and over reacted. Must be a private feud going on.   I hope he  brings up their drug shame to counter balance but I don't think he will.

Look mate. Glen has runs on the Board. Chris has very few. That is the reality. 

We all know what The MFC went through and yes Meth Coke are what they are.

But if Connolly fired a shot at Jakovich then he must have been aware that a barrage of incoming mortar would return...

Can you possibly post exactly what Connolly said please? I would like to see for myself what brought on the full frontal assault from Jacko.

Maybe he was high when he wrote the story.

As a player, I agree, but you have to learn to draw the line SWYL, once they are not a player, we have no idea what they are really like and what agendas they are driving, similar to the Ox

Although it's entirely possible that the AFL appointed him for exactly that role. Couldn't imagine it would be free of bias if it was all eastern state judges.

You would see Pendles nominated on every line, from F.B to F.F

Don't go anywhere near people with drugs, and if you need a safe house, I can find you one fast if you are in the right area. Let me know.

I know lots of people there. It's where I lived (as you know) and did the Medical Mission volunteer work.

P.M SWYL, so we don't clog the thread.

Hypocrisy thy name is Jacko! Tanking accusations from a side that managed to pull Luke Shuey as a priority pick in the 2008 draft just 2 seasons after winning a drug fuelled flag! Give me a break.

    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.
