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.

Favorite episode yet. That was great. 
 

Very interesting that Gawn and Jetta came to Goodwin’s house for the new player induction but Viney didn’t. 

A very good point. Jetta is just the best mentor around and a relative (correct me if wrong) of the Picket clan. max is very personable and his story and 6 years for the penny to drop was pertinent. maybe Viney is just too full on or max & new had a specific message to share.

Both Nev and Max had done what Goodwin was trying to instill in the Kids. 
living proof and one of them is now Captain

To witness the lengths this collective unit want to go to in order to make our club successful goes a long way to strengthening the connection between club and supporters I think. It might be my 'go to' piece of footage if I find doubt creeping in at any point during the season and am in need of a pick me up. 

Hope they keep doing this during the season, would be fantastic to watch.

I agree, it will be a good pick me up, fingers crossed we can make 2020 a great year.?

If they changed the name it would be getting the acclaim right through the AFL media that it deserves.

Sorry CB it's on the AFL website in a prominent position not far from Maxy's Captaincy announcement.

Fies Gill or Shocking have to promote it ?

Thats our job and the Club's!!!

Great episode. Is Shannon Byrnes still with the club in some capacity? Looked like him @ 7:35 during the new player segment at Goodwin's house.

I saw him and his family at the family day yesterday, but he wasn’t in club gear. Maybe he’s contracting in for specific things but isn’t staff. Or maybe he just didn’t have formal duties.

That is simply one of the best bits of non match day, Demon vision, I have ever seen.

The bit where Kossie is helped by his team mates to finish a tough drill is just magnificent.

How can you not get excited about our future?

In 2019 Shannon was in charge of the new player welfare but I am not sure of what his exact title was in 2019. 

HB was even more emotional when he got off the phone after his invitation to train. He is entirely invested in doing the very best for his family and the Club. I loved the support he is getting from Stephen May. 

Obviously the way the players got around Kossie was the other high point. It reminds me of how Richmond players are said to have that bond. How would Kossie have felt knowing that they were there urging him on and getting down on the sand with him so that he could be the very best that he could be. For a first year player that surely is something that will remain with him and hopefully become an integral part of his journey with the Club.

Shannon Byrnes works in player welfare along with Matty Whelan

@Sir Why You Little  produced in house, if it was commercially produced we would have a sham marriage, whilst renovating a kitchen, then cooking a meal on an island, I asked, Gary Pert very proud of it

Johnny is giving the boys 'battle' training, he gets them to do [censored] I did 40 odd  years ago

He has one drill wherr the players have to forward or backward roll 4 times, then jump up and tackle a player

I suggested he tries what we did which was rolls and then hit a post, in sand, wrapped around with sandbags, you had to make the post move, or you had to do it again

He was all for it, but the spoilsport Ben Mathews said no ???

Yes i know it is an in house production, but the person directing this production has outside experience, that’s why it is flowing so well. I will be interested to see who it is when the credits roll. 
 

Cooking a meal on an island ? ???

WTF does that all mean ?

Personal attack, thought the humour may be a bit much for you, seeing that you have had yours removed, again much as you would like it to be, it was all in house

Ever thought the media team is recruited from outside?

Directing a film with amateurs  is easy, point and shoot,  they are just being themselves, it is the editing that matters, so the flow is seamless or seems that way

This whole series is a disgrace and not what the supporters want..... just ask Kane Cornes (will be man enough to admit he was wrong - doubt it)

Kane has said he loves it...made great viewing.

I'm not sure he admitted outright to being wrong but he thinks it's a great insight.

Pity he want off half c...ed before seeing an episode.

I have had a bit of practical experience making films and TV shows to.

There’s a lot more to it than you currently know.
Ever been in an edit suite for 24 hours when a show “isn’t working” and it has to be finished at midday. Directors and producers ready to punch on, because each can’t agree on a certain sequence?

But they have to decide...and they know it

Post Production is a tough gig and the MFC doco has been meticulously planned i have no doubt...

Really enjoying the series. The last episode was the best yet. Great insight into what this club is doing. We are so far ahead of last year and we’ve really got the right people into the club. Loved watching the boys get around Kozzy and get him through it.

Couldn’t get the grin off my face watching that. Man, I really hope Harley runs onto the ground in the red and blue this year. I almost don’t care what happens after that. It clearly means more to him than we could ever truly understand. 
 

And just watching them go so hard at it; I honestly don’t know what more a team can do. If success doesn’t come to the club this year, you cannot say that it was due to a lack of effort and commitment going into the season.
 

Even though they have no idea who I am and never will, I’m extremely proud of my boys after watching that. 

Tackle-coach-psycho-guy doesn’t mind saying [censored] and [censored] a lot.

 

This guy totally reminds me of Leopold from The Simpsons. He's a walking bloody cliche. Quite hilarious.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
