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.

Sometime in the third quarter I suddenly started calling Charlie Spargo 'Banksy' and I like so I'm going to keep doing it.

Nobody knows who he is and he keeps producing little works of art in unexpected places.

You're drawn me out of hibernation LG. That's very very good from you.

It is hard to explain the joyous feelings that we experienced whilst watching that Preliminary Final while madly texting our three daughters and grandson (all Dee tragics) in lockdown. All the highs getting higher and higher as Max and the boys went to town in the third quarter. Blowing the “hated” Cats out of the water in such an emphatic manner was pure bliss. Love this team.Rest up boys one more huge game to win.💕

Couldn't sleep much last night. Having watched the replay its difficult to tell how much was us being outstanding and how much was Geelong having a complete shocker. No doubt our pressure was first rate.

It looked to me like an injury when your pelvis/ hip rolls forward when you accidentally step off a curve or in a pothole

Yep. Good analogy.

Does that change with the new sub rule? If you take 14 days you are likely to re-injure it but it might be considered a risk worth taking in a GF. 

Maybe. I guess it adds a little insurance. Definitely a roll of the dice otherwise.

Will Hawkins ever pay the price for pushing people in the back?

With his illegal actions Hawkins has cost May 2 games, a half final and maybe a GF.

This is on top of round arms etc to other players of other teams.

Will only get worse as he gets older and his frustration increases.

I too was getting worried by @old deeabsence.   Can't have him missing out on the DL fun.  Had to prod him a little via pm to come out of his slumber.  Good to see him back posting.  

You and me both, Luci. I PM-ed him this arvo and gave him a good telling off for saying he wasn’t important. His granddaughter for one would beg to differ. 💕

JV is the player in the league that I would least want to play on…it’s life and death for him…an absolute animal! He is a polarising figure but I feel so happy for him right now. What a dream, to play in a GF for the club your Dad captained.

I know it is only one story but we’ll done Jack. 
I’m so proud of our club…getting pretty emotional writing this…Go Dees!

I read your post - that was a good 'telling off' as well!

I had also invoked his grand daughter to bring him some cheer.  Seems to have worked and he came back to us.

He’s just got to be here right now. He deserves to be enjoying this feeling as much as the rest of us. And great minds DO think alike (yours and mine) since we both played the granddaughter card. 😁

Assuming it's true, does it explain how bad some of those players were?

It probably does.

I don't care.

Even if not the C-word it's irresponsible if our players are exposed to a bug.

Sent a drunken text to Richo at midnight last night to thank him and declare my love for him and all things MFC.

To my surprise he replied this morning, thanking me for the support and said he hopes the club continue to make me proud.

He also said “The boys are so ready”.

Richo tried to hit on my ex-gf at a bar in Prahran when I was still back in Melbourne, he did well, but nevertheless she stayed true (for a few months anyways). But I digress… I still love Richo as his commentary is usually on point, love the guy TBH.

I posted this yesterday morning.  Seems like his info was on the money.

Just chatting to the Geelong fan behind the console at my servo who not only doesn't fancy their chances but has also heard that there's a tummy bug going through the Cats. 

I'd take that with a huge grain of salt, but I wouldn't be upset if his mail is accurate.

Absolutely irresponsible from the AFL as it was clear they were made aware. 

Usually a common cold virus is no where near as transmissible as COVID so the risk is low but these things are now magnified  in covid times. They should have played with face masks.

i still wonder how they get sick when they were in quarantine in the first place.

I think in all fairness it does as well. But I keep thinking how we got stiffed last year so there is balance is somewhat restored.

They did [censored] their pants last night so it seems possible. 

They didn’t get close enough to any of our players to pass it on thankfully. 
 

edit: they were drinking in a pub today. Can’t be that sick 🙄

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
