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.

Hardwick's arrogance is most nauseating:  “Mate, I hate coming here... {Marvel}".  hardwick-press-conference-marvel-stadium-crowd-home-game-complain

He is becoming as big a whinger as Scott.  They are now equal as my most disliked AFL coach.

Apparently their worst since 2004 vs Freo (wooden spoon year)

Talk on the radio about how the Richmond coach actually said “I don’t like going to Docklands” ( I haven’t heard the quote so not sure of it), but the hosts were like I’ve got the worlds smallest violin for Hardwick… and that the fans don’t travel to it..(above is the quote and it’s as bad as it can be for a coach of the biggest club in the land, what a f log)

The whole conversation sounded so familiar.

Well MFC isn't as we were shafted to this  role up to about 2014/15 snd just as Jeff K has said it's not financially viable Generally playing an interstate team on Mother's Day.

We complained and now don't get that gig and the Hawks are also unhappy.

Point out  when we last won On Mothers Day and the results and crowd?

You are condemning the Club although in a much better situation now than say 2014 to a financial burden if you selfishly think we should be rostered in this time slot.

When you are f#$##@ S@%$ thats the type of sandwich you are served, suck it up Jeffy boy, Peggy, Elliott, Joffa.

Its our time to shine we've crawled through miles of s#$% for years and finally come out clean on the other side.

Not an ounce of sympathy for those mongrels.

What an entitled [censored] Hardwick is

Aren't we being a bit precious? Hasn't Demonland been full of posters for years bemoaning us playing home games at Marvel/Etihad? I happen to agree with Hardwick...Richmond shouldn't play home games at Marvel and neither should we. 

PS: Hardwick is a shocking whinger, though.

Wasn't long ago when Hardwick was on the verge of tears during post game interviews.
Now he smacks of arrogance and thinks he's the font of all knowledge.
If he didn't have Dusty Martin he wouldn't even be there.

Did he say whether Mrs Hardwick likes heading to Docklands?

I think to be absolutely fair no MCG team should be playing at Marvel unless it's for a reason that has been approved by the club. 

Nice to see them having a whinge about it though.

100%

Every club should play their 11 home games where they choose.

This includes geelong who should have 11 home games down there if they want them and so the likes of richmond, Collingwood and Essendon (who havent been there since 1993!!!!) Have to go down there too.

Added to that, if its your home game you wear whatever the hell you want and the opposition has to not clash.... but thats another topic

Yep and Richmond trying to distract public from the nightclub altercations. Brendan Gale should never be considered for the top job at the AFL

Take a look at Dustys stats in 2021 and they basically determine their win loss outcomes other than for 1 game out of 9

I have absolutely no sympathy for Kennett. He is the most pig headed arrogant President the game has ever seen.

Further more whinging about not getting an AFLW team when his club wanted nothing to do with it when it started!

 

Hopefully we poach all of the talent they develop in their VFLW team for our AFLW team to stick the knife in deeper!

Hardwick now arguing for elimination of prior opportunity.

My cynicism antenna is saying but "don't you have the best tackle breaker in the game."

Just cannot understand a push to punish the player who is actually making the play

I assume you are too young to remember John Elliott as President of Carlton, although his association with pig's anatomy is more associated with it's backside than it's head.

    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
