  • 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.


Where there's smoke there's...

Smoking is becoming unpopular and less widespread. If the government cared about its ill effects on the public, they would legislate to ban the sale of tobacco and tobacco products to people born from the year 2000 onwards. They won't because the revenue they collect from it is too great. Really, they couldn't care less about the health of the public. They are disingenuous to suggest otherwise. 

That said, I'd prefer that our players didn't smoke.

Banning it wouldn't do anything. That's a bad move to ban them entirely. Only makes them cooler then.

They heavily tax them and plaster death all over the boxes.

I think the government response and legislation (in terms of public smoking) has been the perfect way to marginalise smoking and smokers.

And meanwhile, the Jesse puff on a ciggie is still a rubbish news story.

I think he needs a smoke before a shot for goal to calm his nerves. 

Hiring a ciggie runner could be a good job creation initiative by the MFC.

Was anyone watching with binoculars the three quarter time break of Geelong's in our game with them. The reason i am interested is because Fox does not show even a glimpse of any three quarter time break duration anywhere, and i am wondering why?

Just on a completely related matter, they were exceptionally good and fast and rejuvenated in that last quarter, what with their two best players on the mettle after a torrid three previous quarters. Water is a wonderful fillip....

It's a slippery slope Jesse is on.

Smoking to drugs to wanting to join Essendon in the off season.

Rec drugs is more West Coast's territory. So far more concerning.

 

lol all this fuss over having a dart at a music festival.

WOW !!! , sorry about your Dad but you are unbelievable you gotta joking right? wasting away !!! he was at a music festival !!! so what if he had a smoke at least he wasnt doing anything else which would have been there, oh he probably had a drink too again so what !! 

You dont know how bad his dad is and it would be very stressful, he is human and family comes first and its better than keeping it bottled up or else you can turn bitter and twisted and he hasnt compromised anything, he has let his hair down a little bit, so what !!! you dont know how much pressure he has on him over his dad for all we know that could have been a factor in his striking offence, just because you can put your emotion aside does not mean others can.

  

 

Fair enough comment!

Just done some Math

A pack a day smoker will pay between $150-$175 bucks a week assuming $ 25 bucks a pkt

Over a month that = $600- 700 odd bucks

Over a year = over  $ 7, 000,00 

Over 10 years = 70 grand

Hnmm big bucks for a product that seriously halms your health and can kill you!

Now aint that info a breath of fresh air?

Just sayin

 

 

You his accountant?

Just like when John Safran famously sent out the remote control ciggie delivery seagull to Shane Warne during a match.

Why do you want to spoil a little fun. The most entertaining thread I have read on here for a while.

It panders to the outrage industry and one of the most pc periods of all time.

Can't remember the fellow's name but during the final of the long jump at the Sydney Olympics the Aussie competitor would actually have a [censored] between jumps.

This was on TV for the world to see. I don't think he got as much stick as Jessie is getting ATM.

FMD. Let it blow over.

Or stub it out even.

The censored out bit is the politically incorrect word for cigarette.

Last time we won a flag blokes were having a dart and a sherry at 3/4 time, take it as a good omen. Personally I'm disappointed it wasn't a cigar.

The cigar can wait until the evening of September 30th -- couldn't care less what they do that night in celebration.

There's a decent few in every club that does it mate.

Hogan is not the only one in our team that doesn't mind the occasional dart, and im not talking about Maxy.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
