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.


Local media pundits not taking MFC as a serious threat.

Put the ignore button back on again old boy. It’s better that way. 
 

Better for whom?

Well if the cap fits.

Welcome back however, it is interesting that you've been allowed back in the community. I remember some posters sang your praises when you were banned so perhaps you have some redeeming qualities. I'm not without my own issues but I'm a work in progress. Perhaps you are also, we'll see. I was tidying up my ignore list the other day and took you off due to the permanent holiday, clearly premature but will see how we go. I hope Moonie and Biffen have been  allowed to return also.

Are you a mod? If not, you’re terribly condescending. In fact, the mods aren’t even this cavalier.

No, however I do have history, it was SWYL who instigated my avatar after 10years of not having one. I'm not sure why your dragging the Mods into this, you've implied that they are somewhat cavalier but not as cavalier as myself. I suppose it depends on your definition of "cavalier". If you mean it in the sense of not taking account of peoples feelings then that's true but with caveats.

I find it mildly amusing (now that is condescending) that a handful of posters have decided to give me a "dressing down" because of a few comments between SWYL and myself. He is quite capable of defending himself and we have exchanged pleasantries in the past. I would think that would be a matter between us and perhaps I should have PM'd him and saved everyone's outrage.

My post that you have quoted wasn't meant to be condescending. I admit I have my character flaws and it's one of them that I'm blunt. If that offends you don't read what I post.

I used to excuse your obnoxious nighttime posts as just the Merlot talking. 

I was obviously wrong about the Merlot.

 

Yep, I have been alcohol free for 6 weeks now. I have retained my sense of humour and my thick skin. It's interesting that you think enough of yourself to excuse me for being less than you want (although it does appear you've reached your breaking point ). If I wasn't so thick skinned I would think you're being abusive toward me. That couldn't be right could it? You do have a propensity for reading what I post in reply to others and then pass judgement on my failings. Do please continue, you might get me to think right.

If you take umbrage at my comments, or indeed anyone’s comments, then yes, perhaps PM is the way to go. 

I wouldn’t consider the comments of yours (below) cavalier if you were a mod. They’re cavalier because you’re not a mod. That doesn’t mean I think the mods are cavalier; it means I think these sorts of comments should only be made by someone in the position to do so, ie, the mods.

“…it is interesting that you've been allowed back in the community.”

“…perhaps you have some redeeming qualities…we'll see. I was tidying up my ignore list the other day and took you off due to the permanent holiday, clearly premature but will see how we go.”

The reason I went in to bat for SWYL has to do with the circumstances under which he left DL. I won’t elaborate lest I get a warning from the mods (who made a point of closing down the conversation) suffice it to say it would be sad if a similar situation ensued and he had to leave again. 
Oh, and SWYL knows what I’m talking about because unlike your good self, I PM’ed him rather than discussing non-footy issues in public. 
Edit: sincerely happy for your six weeks alcohol free. ?

I am suitably chastened, although I do feel you are taking on a Mods role and trying to censor what I say. Perhaps you could coach SWYL as it was he who felt the need to reply to an old post that went up prior to me knowing he wasn't permanently banned. You seem to be a nice person and we haven't had any discernible differences previously but as I said SWYL can look after himself and we have a long history of disagreements going back many years until I put him on ignore. He is back there again. This thread has shown me he is the same as ever and I should have known that. Hence the  "if the cap fits" comment. With hindsight I shouldn't have started with that because it's like throwing burley on the water. 

Because I am who I am, you don't get off scot free. If you re-read your last line above, doesn't "unlike your good self" sound a bit condescending? Now, I'm not always articulate and get the meaning of words confused from time to time but I'll see if I've got irony sorted. It's ironic that you've chastised me about not PMing and discussing non-footy issues in public.

All good. I’ve got no issue with you, you’ve explained it well. What transpires between you and SWYL isn’t my business, but there is a solid reason why I weighed in on it. Here’s not the place to explain so ima shoot you a quick PM. ?

PS: I naturally use expressions like “your good self.” Probs does come off as arrogant, but that’s defs not the intention.

I think @Dr.D has been the victim of a churlish misunderstanding in regards to his motivations. As such, I’ve posted the following video to highlight his more agreeable, compassionate and human side. Thus I give you ‘At Home with Dr. D’.

It continued to be a toboggan ride the second Mean Gene said 'Let's meet Dr. D's family' and the next image shown was a cow mooing. I'd be [censored] off too if someone intimated my next of kin was a bovine. ??

    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
