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.

Another off season begins.

 

PORT Adelaide ruckman Paddy Ryder has been charged with assault following an incident outside an Adelaide nightclub.

The Power released a statement confirming the All Australian was involved in an incident with his younger brother and cousin at a club in Hindley Street on Sunday morning.

He has also been charged with hindering police.

"Ryder met with club officials this morning to express his disappointment and regret for involving himself in an incident which primarily concerned his brother," a Port Adelaide statement said.

Ryder was released on bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on November 15.

"Ryder, 29, was arrested by police, who allege he assaulted officers and hindered them making an arrest".

On the face of it doesn't sound good.

Let's hope our lot stay out of strife this off season.

He could claim that he was under the influence of a side effect from the The whatever it took campaign and has no personal recollection or understanding of the incident.

Perhaps the respected issuer of the Norm Smith medal could provide some assistance with records that supplements produce such effects

But does he want to win a Premiership or just be an AFL player?

Depending on the answer to the above question, Uncle Kosh may save him.

A Port player got arrested, culture breads culture I guess!

Most media have said that Ryder was protecting his brother/defending himself. But for an AFL player to be on Hindley St at 1am is poor form, even in off season.

Surely players can go wherever they want at whatever time they want in the offseason. It is their holidays.

I have never heard of, or been to Hindley Street, but if it is bad as you hint perhaps the police should worry about it.

2 sides of the coin. Its off season and he is allowed to enjoy himself.

Flipside: A professional would never be in the situtation where assualting anyone, let alone a cop, at 1am outside a nightclub is a possibility.

Life is not that cut and dried though is it

Sh!t happens when we least expect it and if somebody started attacking my brother unprovoked i would lose my collective marbles to. 

His professional is totally irrelevent

Absolutely. If he was out at a park or a resturaunt etc - no issues at all. But being outside a nightclub at 1am, where you KNOW there is going to be people that are intoxicated just wanting to have a go is asking for trouble. Protecting a family member is one thing, assualting a cop is another.

 

That being said, until he is actually sentenced its all hearsay.

    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
