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.

You working on the boats these days Skuit? ?

As Amdam clarified, I'm a purist not a prostitute - living but not working on the boats. But I did return to my office of about 12 - majority Dutch - from holidays recently and they'd hired some other Aussie bloke. Old mate says he supports the MFC, but the kid is fair-weather and lapsed - probably worse than working with a Collingwood supporter to be fair

I used to live in Cairns and early 2000s the Dees played a pre season game up there. 

Went out that night to one of the hotspots and the bulk of the team where all there getting on it! Had a chat to Neita and he introduced me to a bunch of the lads, including Jeff White , Yze even Matty Bate who had just been recruited and Neita said he's a future 200 gamer.......

Great night,  spewing I had to leave around 230am(they were still kicking on) as i started work at 7am, oh my head.

I was at that match and at a club afterwards. Got embroiled in a bit of a love triangle (polite way of saying that the girl I was half-seeing at the time saw me pick up another girl from onstage while we were dancing to her set), and so may have been distracted. Which club was it Hell Bent?

Haha that team loved a night out. 

I was living in StKilda around that time and Neita must have moved into the area. He spent a bit of time at the Vineyard, and there was a couple of nights were half the team was in there.

I was on a diving trip in West Papua a few weeks ago and we made a stop at a remote island called Banda Island. I have been there before and always take along a bag of school supplies for the kids.

To my shock and delight there were two mischievous little boys at the port in Melbourne Demon T-shirts. Admittedly they were pretty well worn and had seen better days and I asked one of them if he knew what the emblem was. He looked at me like I was stupid and said ‘Go Dees’. He didn’t know where the T-shirts had come from and they looked as though they had been handed down several times.

I was so chuffed as most of the other passengers on the boat were from Perth and WCE supporters. Didn’t see any of their T-shirts.

Made a mental note to bring along half a dozen next year when I go back.

Yeah it surprised me BBP but I reckon they wouldn't have been alone back in those days. I've seen The Roosters getting on it in Sth Yarra after a game against the Storm only 2 years ago,  weeks away from finals!

I also saw Simon Godfrey at Inflation nightclub about 15 years back. I went up to him and said "Go Dees" like a groupie. He looked at me strange. Good times.

I was at the Depot in Richmond on a Thursday night in 2002 and ran into Godfrey with his mates. I asked if he was playing on the weekend and I think he freaked he'd been recognised out on the town before a  game as there was pretty much no one else there. He proceeded to shout a few drinks for my mate and I. Awesome bloke,  haha. BTW, yes he was playing on the Sunday!!! Different times I guess. I wasn't in the greatest shape to work the next day or play on the Saturday myself after the session from memory!

Not too sure of the date (around 2010) I decided to play at Royal Pines  on the Gold Coast. Had paid and was waiting to join a group when the pro came up and said let them go and I have put you with the next group. No problems as the Japanese group left and I joined up with the next group. Well I was really happy ( I was wearing a MFC logo shirt) as he joined me up with Jeff White. What a day. By god he could hit a ball.

I can imagine he was very good at collecting drinks for everyone but when he went to pass it to you, did it miss you by some distance?

Jeffy Garlett randomly called my mobile a couple of years ago. He tried to sell me a membership. 

I had Robbo call me same about 15 years ago. I said I'd happily sign up again if he promised to kick 50 the following year and Neita kicked 80. Told him if they did that we'd be top 4 and I'd have no problem recommiting for the next 5 years. I'm a ball breaker.

Of course, we bombed out...

Just helping the brother-in-law load a second hand clothesline at a property in Thurgoona (Albury) when the postie stopped with the mail - a bloke in his late fifties I reckon with tatts everywhere.

I was wearing my MFC cap and he commented “a Demons man hey?” I replied “yeah mate, what about you?”

”Bloody oath” as he stretched his hi-vis polo down his chest to expose a dirty great MFC logo tattooed on his right pec.

It’s lovely country around here - stinking hot though. I’m staying on a farm out near Jindera but have also been to Bright yesterday and did some water skiing on the Hume dam which my body still hasn’t forgiven me for. It was a bad idea to pull out the slalom ski and think I’m Mark Baretta after a four year hiatus.

    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
