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.

The guys are also welcome to not play footy at all and to find another job that isnt physically demanding with a huge toll on the body.

Nobody is holding a gun to their head.

 

I think you missed my point completely.

Being judgemental about how a group of athletes go about their preparation is meaningless when it comes from somebody who wouldn't know the first thing about pushing themselves physically, which I believe to be the case for a few on here.

All of these things that people comment on so flippantly are much easier said than done.

During Christmas and New Year breaks, things become very slow, in terms of sports news.  The likes of "fill-in' breakfast hosts, Maher, Brown and Frawley, will clutch at anything that they can run with, in all their "journalistic" banality and In my view, that is what has happened here.

Subscribe to conspiracy theories all you like, but I'll continue to trust in the guys to get the job done.

How do you know that?

Cause they went over the coaches head to veto a training camp he had scheduled.
Or do ya think Goodwin's really ok with that?

I don't know the full story.  Neither do you, other than what the media hounds think is a big story and have printed.

I reckon half the blokes here judging our players as soft over this probably couldn't complete 20 good push ups or even finish the time trial run without dying

I trust the players made the right decision here. Don't let a slow news week get the better of you guys.

More than half the people here judging would be closer to retirement age than football playing age.

And it's hard to do 20 good pushup's when you are pickled on cheap goon.

 

But please provide you detailed list of the AFL/VFL players who have ended a boot camp or similar in a wheelchair, as proof that your comments are not more than know-all rhetoric.

Professional coaches decided the camp was beneficial, and also made plans around the concerns from the previous year, while our timid show pony playing list ran like pre school tattle-tails to big brother AFLPA to usurp the coaches.

Any Melbourne member has an absolute right to be ticked off over this, and the players deserve every ounce of scorn coming their way.

They didn't go over his head, they sought advice as how best to resolve the situation without causing 'disruption'

Unfortunately due to headline chasing journos, footy commentators seeking relevance and conspiracy theorists on here that was never going to happen

I have spoken to a couple of players and the coach, being a masdive believer in 'boot camps" I am comfortable with what transpired and it will have no impact going forward

My issue is how did this get out to the media and did the players approach the coach and staff first.I have real concerns if the players went to the union first and if so who were they?

I don't understand the concern. So what if players spoke to their union about it? Would you feel the same way if they spoke to their managers? Their parents? Their partners? I'm all for people getting the best advice available and making a decision accordingly. If they think going to the PA would give them useful advice, of course they should go there.

And your last three words look like a nasty witch hunt. (Which would be humorously ironic if Salem was one of them.)

I'd take your comments more seriously if we weren't, as always on here, speculating on trash news articles with little facts to base our opinions on.

Know-all rhetoric? Bloody hell, who took the jam out of your doughnut today Turkish? This comment was (quite obviously) not a matter-of-fact statement. Interestingly enough, you've taken it for that for some reason. For your benefit, I'll make it simpler for you - the players should be entitled to enjoying a Christmas break without being physically broken.

While we are at it - please provide proof of this incredibly tough guy comment:

"our timid show pony playing list ran like pre school tattle-tails to big brother AFLPA to usurp the coaches."

I will accept verified transcripts of all conversations had between players, coaches and the union only.

Our club, you know the one that has been a rank embarrassment to the code of AFL for the majority of the past 6 decades, is trying to toughen up the playing list mentally, because we have a long track record of being feeble, and quick to fold once the heat is on. That's why we target "leadership" in trading and recruiting, particularly from outside the club, as our in house variety does not cut the mustard.

The club will put on a show for the media, and many appeasers on here will swallow the line that the players were merely seeking "advice" from the AFLPA on how to best seek an end to the camp. They involved the union, to get things their way.

Once again, the soft mental underbelly of the Melbourne list reared its head, and once again we have chosen the soft path. It is undeniable, and does not take an ex grunt to be qualified to offer an opinion. A plumber with a beer gut can offer the same value as a soldier, regardless of the number of daily pushups they can do. (For fun, give us a satisfactory number of pushups required to form a valid opinion on this matter, and do women only need to do girly pushups to have a say?)

you seriously think a 2 night/3 day (non) boot camp was going to leave the players "being physically broken"?

a camp you know nothing of the specifics. a camp that goody assured them had extra safeguards from last year'camp

storm nrl are now on their third real bootcamp in a row. they must have a callous disregard for the h&s of their players

Feel free to read my previous comments - I already identified the fact I didn't know what the training schedule was. I only offered my opinion from somebody who has done plenty of this style of training myself.

And 20 minutes of this style of training can be enough to break you. Trust me. I have the MRI's to prove it.

You do realise that your ridiculously long winded comments don't actually hide the fact you never seem to address the questions people ask you, right?

Show me proof of what your saying - or dare I say it, is this just more know-all rhetoric?

The story itself quotes as fact that the club had told the players that extra safeguards had been put in place, to address their safety concerns from the previous camp

It also reported that the players approached the AFLPA

It also reported that following the approach to the AFLPA, the club quashed the camp.

An insider who posts of here, and has his brother on the playing list, stated that he believed Goody was more piszed off than he admitted publicly.

 

You state that you have done many of these camps yourself, and use that as a basis for agreeing with the players actions, but you have zero idea yourself of what was actually planned for the group. That's the coaches call, not the players.

IMO

Let's move on, folks. A chink has erupted between ourselves - I bet that the Club is over it, already. I am sure that the Club reflecting on the decision does not regard it as a chink - and never did. There is no point discussing this issue further.

I didn't do "camps", training like this was done most days before work. I don't use that as a basis for necessarily agreeing with what they did - more so giving them the benefit of the doubt that they took a certain course of action for a legitimate reason. I can see the work the boys have put into their bodies before the pre-season - and that's all I need to have faith at this stage.

I'm a glass half full guy. Each to their own.

yeah, fair enough. Respect for that.

I still strongly disagree with the players for my reasons stated. I'm one of those long term sufferers who see this as a continuation of our limp wristed attitude. Will all be forgotten, and apologies owed if we make it deep into September, but it certainly has me losing faith again. Evidence based.

This is a good point. I don't have anywhere near enough information to form a reasoned opinion on this issue. I have some thoughts and queries but certainly no definitive view. These thoughts and queries include:

  • good on the players for taking responsibility and saying they didn't think the camp is valuable - we would mature adults not sheep in 2017
  • agree they every right to consult with the AFLPA, not least to understand their rights eg what do standard player contracts say about their right to not participate in an over night camp. I have no sense though of how, when or ho consulted the AFLPA or how appropriate the AFLPA response was
  • what does the fact that the player's decision came so late in the piece say? ie is it evidence of poor communication from the club, did the club not properly evaluate last years camp, did the club not consult with the players or perhaps they did and the players buried their head in the sand and were they the ones guilty of leaving it to the last moment?
  • the players apparently love goody, will this impact on that?
  • who gives a rats arse what a bloke who has the nickname Spud thinks?

I'd be lying if I said your sentiments hadn't crossed my mind, because they indeed have. And me 2+ years ago would've thrown my arms in the air and cursed them in a similar vein. But I honestly believe we are past our bruise free footy days.

I hope for all of our sakes I'm right, eh? I'd hate to be proven wrong on this (but am, as always, prepared to be).

as far as the camp goes you come across as glass half empty guy :P

i personally don't know if the camp would have been good or bad, but i guess that is why we go to a lot of trouble to hire a professional coach to make those decisions

Haha yeah I guess so

@Win4theAges's comment resonates with me quite a lot - we had a serious year for injuries last year. Perhaps the players identified the pre-season camp had something to do with that?

You can hire all the coaches and sports scientists in the world - they will never understand the player's bodies quite as well as the players themselves.

    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
