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.


WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL

Poor choice by Harley and no doubt will suffer the consequences but a lot on here showing little knowledge on how addictions work and how hard they are to control.

No you don’t because I don’t post my every inner thought on Demonland. 

Just because you don’t deem this disease deadly enough for your liking, doesn’t mean that it isn’t extremely contagious, very invasive and does a lot of damage (even without death), and that thousands of cases would see our health care system collapse to the point where loads of people would die for lots of reasons, not just Covid. 

People breaching the rules are selfish flogs. People who think they can visit their family because they feel like it, are selfish and are costing the rest of us our freedom.

We all have to make sacrifices and do the right thing so that we can ensure our health care system can stay as good as it is, and so that we can save the lives of many elderly people, who you may not care about, but who all have families who love them and want them alive. 
 

Support you 100%

It's a Vic thing and we may only be in lockdown for 2 more weeks - but with relaxed integrations the numbers will increase and we'll be back in lockdown again.

I was just thinking the same thing, people never stop being addicts they are only recovering/recovered addicts. 

It’s still a very disappointing situation to see Harley find himself in, there are a number of ways to deal with this so it’ll be interesting to see which way we go. I wonder if he was with any other players prior to him leaving the hub, if so why didn’t they stop him? 

Second question is Harley’s partner and kid up there with him?

Ralphy just cleared up the Bennell issue he evidently confused the Maroochydore hub for pub an easy thing to do after a few schooners.

Yeah sounds like he started drinking in the hub. Ran out of booze, so went drinking outside the hub. 
A bad look all around.

I thought he wasn't suppose to drink he was not allowed. Poor form.

Could someone please explain how the hub rules work...

I was listening to SEN the last week and one of the players was out at a coffee shop getting his regular fix.

Wish I could remember who it was....coffee or beer, either way you're not in a hub.

Regularly frequents the coffee shop.

Surely this is not how it works?

He made a poor choice - we need to support him and give him a chance to redeem himself. I reckon they give him a contract with a clause if he breaks it again. We all deal with stress differently give the bloke a chance.

Nope he has had his chances we extended  a life line when nobody else did he ignored it.  He is the problem unfortunetly he probably doesn't se it because he can play footy so sad.

    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
