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.

Well, going on your logic, most Demonlanders must be right leaning, based on the similar victim mentality they display in the belief that the MFC is hated by the AFL and umpires ?

Victim mentality is a leftist thing also. The "phobe" is a lefty invention.

Appreciate the laugh though even if I disagree. Good stuff.

 

Just sick to death of politics in every damn thread here. Wish it would stop.

To the simpletons who have been referring to the 'Spanish' flu in their lame attempts to protect China  -

 

There were relatively few deaths from the flu in China compared to other regions of the world.[22][23] This has led to speculation that the 1918 flu pandemic originated from China.[24][23][25][26] The relatively mild flu season and lower rates of flu mortality in China in 1918 may be explained due to the fact that the Chinese population had already possessed acquired immunity to the flu virus.[27][24][23]

He just saved his pants, getting Brexit done,  literally moments before CoVid-19 did the job anyway.

 

And CV19 has sown why Brexit was wanted and needed... so WE control our own borders.

 

Next up_  Globalisation...  and the need to manufacture our own engineered items on-shore, using our own steel,  and our own gas for heating/energy...  Not for export.

Relying on a lying state/nation, is not to our benefit.    Use our own resources locally,  in particular,  our energy resource's.

Bit rough to say that even though it could be seen as an act of perfect biological warfare. That's a bit rough, too. Let me retract that statement. Retracted. How is China's economy going - starting to pick up? The US economy is in world-affecting turmoil. It will worsen as the virus continues to live, mutate, then wane in an enclosed retaliation by the scientists. Interesting times.

Oh yes. It’s only just begun

The longer it goes on the more I believe it is biological warfare

Nice one... that’s a 3rd hypothesis! Here are the other two (which you’ve ignored as they probably don’t suit your China bashing agenda): 


“For many years, medical historians and epidemiologists hypothesized that the outbreak could have started at:

1. A British army base in Étaples, France

or

2. At Fort Riley in Kansas, where the first American cases of this new strain of flu were recorded in March of 1918.

So the NRL continues on and the AFL starts up.  But for how long?  I am a betting man so I can't see either sport operating in a month.  2 weeks or less is more likely and if it does cease we'll probably wonder why they even bothered starting up.

But there's a lot of money at stake with the players needing to receive 28% of 'budgeted' income for the year (not 'actual' income?) with the rest of the football departments (coaches included) probably being under the same banner.  That's a lot of expense across 18 clubs.  It's any wonder the NRL's Peter V'landys is on the front foot about the NRL's plight ... we haven't heard as much from Gil but it's the same story (IMO)

So if you believe they are just putting the games on to satisfy a sports hungry public,  you might want to have a re-think.

So where does the money come from if there are no games played?  The following excellent article better explains it all.

An extended coronavirus shutdown may change sport as we know it in Australia

From what I understand it is the second one. The U.S. troops then took the virus across to europe. The originator was a worker at a farm and got the disease from ducks or chooks just before he joined the army and was working in the kitchen.

Some insane profiteering going on:  A 1 Lt bottle of Aqium hand sanitzer which retails for $20.00 (but very hard to get) just sold on ebay for $390 after 66 bids.  I guess it is worth a lot more on the black market here or overseas. 

Hope the government catches the folks who are clearing stores then selling stuff on ebay or on the black market.  A scum thing to do; be it medication, toilet paper, Aqium or whatever.

    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
