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.

Should have closed the border earlier but the governments wait until the proverbial hits the fan

Mind you, the truckies probably get exemptions so Covid finds a way in somehow

And the truckie in question may not have been showing any signs of the infection and then tested positive later on

Exactly how I read the report Macca. He had all the required paper work etc. Probably thought he was fine.That’s is the thing with this virus people who have contracted it feel fine in early stages when they are infectious. 
You would almost think it was designed this way for maximum affect!!!!!!!!!

would be amazing if Vic escapes another outbreak between now and September.

 

As sure as night follows day, Jim.

I was at a small gathering over the weekend, mostly people I didn't know. The woman next to me mentioned her husband works in the transport industry and just got back from Sydney. I asked why she wasn't at home isolating with him. The reply was that they were exempt from isolating and testing because he works in the transport industry, as if that is some sort of COVID barrier!

Go figure.

I got tested the next morning, of course.

Here we go again NSW has just announced AZ fine for anyone over 40. I wonder why the vaccination centres are not being rushed.

Honestly we are being lead by idiots on many levels. 

That is not what was said, OD.

Kerry Chant was very clear - go speak to your GP and if you are cognisant of the risk, and are comfortable with AZ, then go get it.

The medical advice from ATAGI has not changed.

Perhaps she wasn't from a hotspot or exposure site?

The border rules changed at 11.59AM 11/7/21.

Thise rules were for all of NSW. Sydney has been a red zone for considerably longer than that.

2 new cases in Vic from people coming back from NSW who inexplicably did not quarantine

we'll be in lockdown in a week

FMD

why were they not required to isolate?  so they tested negative? who cares? they are positive now. still isolate FFS.  this is too serious to not take every precaution

They were in quarantine at home, as per their red zone permit, according to numerous media sites.

But were they? I don’t  necessarily mean these particular people, but the many who are being trusted to do the right thing while quarantining at home. It’s painfully clear that while the majority do the right thing, there will always be a percentage who don’t.

Maybe they are one of those amazing people, like those in NSW, who were in ‘partial isolation’.

You know, they were at home, unless they went out. Obviously.

They were at home when they weren’t out shopping with their list of necessities like bed frames in IKEA, cushions in Kmart and gym leggings in Bondi.

So, logically, you’d have to think a hard 6 week lockdown for anyone who barracks for either of those 2 teams is the only solution.

It’s for the good of the nation.

No surprise. It was only a matter of time. The only surprise is that it took a day or two longer than I expected.

just said on radio that attendees of carlscum, jilong game at the g to go into 14 day home isolation

didn't catch if it was all attendees or just those in mcc area

more to come

It's a tier 2 site. Level 2 MCC Members.

Tier 2 means you need to get tested immediately and isolate until you get a negative result.

So if anyone on Demonland was at that game, shame on you for wasting your precious life, but also, go get tested!

So the article I found read “Western bulldog official was in Highpoint during exposure period”. Didn’t specify which shop but I’m sure I heard on the radio at the time he was in the same shop. Then he interacts with the playing group, the playing then plays the Dees, the Dees then travel to Sydney and play the Lions in Sydney, all of this happens inside a two week period….

Are you suggesting our club spread Covid to Sydney?!

    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
