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.

I’m in the USA, they cancelled the #1 food trade show this week with many of us visiting from all over the globe; yet have kept Disneyland open which is across the road with tourists from all over the world.

they have declared a state of emergency in LA, enabling a bunch of health government things be done.

and nba teams have been asked to plan for playing games with empty stadiums!

the virus is coming for all communities, stay well everyone.

For what it's worth someone I know has just flown into Norway from England to do some cross country skiing. The small village she's staying in has 5 people with Covid-19 and another 15 people in quarantine. She got talking to someone who's relative is one of the five with the virus but who shows none of the obvious symptoms of it. The reality is that we're probably now beyond containment so anyone with a low immune system or who is elderly should probably try and adjust their lifestyles until a vaccine has passed all clinical trials and is on the market. Everyone else needs to stop losing their [censored] over this.

Salient point considering the panic buying of bogroll.

I honestly think we've started to regress as a race Demonstone. This outbreak of idiocy is spreading far quicker than any virus.

Italy went from 20 confirmed cases to 233 dead in fifteen days.

 

16 million people are now in heavy quarantine.   This virus is worse than anything since small pox and possibly worse than the spanish flu.

 

Australia is not doing enough now and we will end up like Italy with mass hard quarantines

What do you think Aus should be doing?

There's now no stopping coronavirus spreading, and every expert knows it.

What's left now is to attempt to slow the spread (eg. isolation/self-quarantine) so that the healthcare system isn't inundated with all the cases at once. This needs to be balanced against still having people going about their daily activities, so society doesn't fall apart (which includes health professionals rocking up to work, drivers delivering food and other products, emergency services available when called upon, etc).

Correct. It is a very strong Flu Strain

Those who are sick must not go to work for a start (Don’t Soldier on with a Codral, with this baby)

The Japanese Government should be held accountable for letting all those passengers off the cruise ship who were not secondary tested, and all went home on Public Transport 

The Chinese knew about this in Early December, but told the initial Doctor to be quiet and go back to work  

He died doing his job

The Virus is out now....

Seems that what is driving people really crazy is that the main things we each as individuals can do are all just the same things we keep being told every year ahead of regular flu season.  Proper, regular, hand washing, coughing/sneezing into the crook of your elbow, keeping a little bit of distance from people who are ill, trying to minimise how much you share you workstation, pushing buttons/opening doors with your wrist or where practical, keeping the space arou you clean, espcially all those frequent-touch places, taking a bit of time off if you are sick (which kind of sucks for casuals who might not be able to pay rent, but I'm sure a sensible simple solution will be put in place to soften that blow without it becoming an ideological crapshow...).

Also, try not to spit in each other's face for a while.  I know, habits are hard to break.

But seriously, if people just do the basics without waiting to find out if they specifically are at risk, it dramatically reduces the spread rate and dramatically increases the chances of being able to track and contain any given chain of illness.

Also, try to reduce your contact with repressive totalitarian regimes or medieval theocracies.  #lifetip

I believe they postponed Expo West due to pressure being put on them from exhibitors and large suppliers (e.g. Well Well). There are certainly concerns, but perception and pandemonium  rule. There's a lot of food and beverage handling and tasting at that show, so that may well be the worry. My missus was there but came back the moment it was called off, more out of fear of not being able to get a seat home than the virus.

Agree that the Disneyland situation is odd. Perhaps at Disney the greenback rules over everything else.

    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
