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.

And what your saying is Oliver and Brayshaw don't do enough gym work because they don't have the AFL pro standard body?

No, I'm saying they are not fit enough,  just as Petracca was not fit enough, and was too heavy.  Juries out on Tracca.

And they don't have the AFL Pro standard bodies?

 

Oli and Brayshaw haven't kicked into gear,  Yet. 

And are both carrying puppyfat on their bodies.  Not good enough,  as midfielders,  in today's footy.

over your "they're bingeing"

Show where I wrote that our current players are Bingeing,  dd'.    Your the one making things up.  And being malicious,  at the same time.

Your not talking about footy,  but rather potting the postor.   I think your out of order.

Your editorials are wasted on here MFM. I don’t think anyone is getting a full perspective of what you are all about, and understanding what you have to say - especially DD.

Can I suggest saving all these nuggets and writing a book instead.  Then we’d have the whole picture. 

If written under your current nom de plume it could possibly be titled “ The MFC - the view from Mars”.

If written under your previous incarnation perhaps it could be called “The MFC - a Dee -luded view”. 

Just a suggestion.

Nothing personal at all from my end at all 'Luded'.. I'm just sick of people who make up things along the way to give people like yourself a reason to pot blokes like Oliver because according to you, he doesn't have a pro AFL body.. c'mon man that is one of the most bizarre things said. Yes I would understand if he had poor work ethic and questionable training habits, but he doesn't. He's a dedicated young footballer who is wanting to be the best that he can be. His training and off field work is first class.

You must be blinded by love dd. 

And you help to maintain our past amateur standards.

Well,  things have to change, for the club to better itself. Your the one who is stuck back in the 90's, dd.

There is no love from my end mate. I am just saying your wrong.

There are far more bigger issues at our club right now then Oliver and Brayshaw.

Your post, dummy.

You posted the image of Dane Swan up,  to say,  'here is a star' without a bodybuilder physique.

 

My response to you, Re that post of Swan,  was to say that,  you seem to be happy to have a player like Swan who binges and leads others astray.   ie: Swan a binger?

I did not say our players are binge-ing.

 

Are you drinking,  dd.?  or lost your reading glasses maybe?

Now it's you getting personal Lude.. don't be a hypocrit now..

You are struggling to understand the simple concept of what I am trying to get at 'Luded'.. 

The Dane Swan response was all about how not having a ripped physic like you want, means that they are not going to make it as footballers. You're pointing out Oliver and Brayshaw as guys that need to work harder on their body shape. Swan is an example of why sometimes not having a pro AFL standard body will equel to poor performances. You pointed out Alex Neal Bullen as a prime example... which was quite laughable, as @Demonland pointed out, just because he's got the prototype body doesn't mean that's given him much success. In fact 99.9% would much rather take Oliver the way he is right then a Alex Neal Bullen. 

Answer me this mate, (which you still haven't after i have given you an example used by Brendan McCartney). Give me some real honest facts on why you think Oliver needs to lose weight?

Have taken a break from DL, by in large. Not a conscious decision as such. But after a preseason and then no footy I ran out of posting energy.

Have occasional dropped in and scanned some threads. And every thread I've opened it has been clagged up by the Martian fella. Deeluded you say dazzler. Makes sense. 

Cue my favourite L7 track. Should make it easier to post again.

Omac looks in ripping nick.

Your still not comprehending.

What I communicated was,  the current physique of both Oliver,  Brayshaw,  is indicative of them both not doing the absolute most they can,  inside the Gym.

I'm saying they have not put in anywhere near the professional work and dedication that Harmes,  and also Nibbler to a lesser extent,  have done.

Both boys,  do not even match up to Nathan Jones,  and he's nearing the end.

 

And I'm also saying;  this is a part of a near enough attitude,  around the club.

 

# now you come up with a new wrong statement about me.    Your saying I said Oliver needs to lose weight.  Wrong again dd.  I do not think Oliver should lose weight at all.  I think he should get a lot fitter,  and this will then show in his physique;   just as some are saying of Petracca, this season.

I also said,  that both Oliver and Brayshaw are still carrying puppy fat.  And that its time they turned the puppy fat into toned muscle.  Like Harmes has done.

You know very well I used Nibbler and Harmes,  as fine examples of dedicating to their fitness for the team, and their games.

You seem to be suggesting that having players who are only 90% fully fit and conditioned,  is acceptable,  for this club to become more professional.

 

I'm saying it is not acceptable,  if the club wants to forge ahead and become one of the power clubs.

 

The top coaches of the past have been harder on the top players,  as examples to the less talented players,  to strive harder.

Although in recent times the Rev is said to have had his Fav's,  and others were left battling.  Scotty Thompson was one who was unhappy at that time,  struggling for his respect.  I overheard him say at training at the Junction Oval,  one training night.

Skin tones, dd.  you can see it,  it stands out, plainly.   He is not buffed,  not cut, however you prefer to name it.

It's as plain as the your nose on your face.

Just as Tracca was heading,  this time last year.  He's turning it around.

 

Lets hope Oli will be next.

    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
