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.

Free rapid antigen tests, widely available at chemists and a change to the Queensland Queen’s entry requirements, will slash the testing queues dramatically.

PS. Her latest offering that Queensland hospitals should only be for Queenslanders, is just another moronic bit of dribble from her mouth. 

You would pay $15 for a test if it meant not lining up for a couple of hours.  Just need government to change the rules for casual contacts to use Antigen tests.

The bottom line is we have made the decision to live with the virus, we have done everything we can to protect ourselves(well 92% of the population has) we just need to get our yearly boosters like the flu shot and try to minimise the deaths and hospitalisation.  The only number we need to watch it people in Hospital and ICU, as long as that can be manged we live life as normal.

The QLD and WA premiers have never been more popular, they will keep saying stupid stuff as they believe this is what their population wants to here.  You watch the WA bloke change his tune if he doesn't open up in Feb, all of the sudden WCE and Freo will be forced to relocate to the east coast no footy is WA, he is already copping it losing the ashes not sure if Basketball and Soccer teams have relocated, I know the Scorchers have.

I’ve thought the same thing about McGowan. His popularity lives and dies on the AFL. He’ll fold like a deck of cards when the AFL says no football for WA.

It’s just populist nonsense. He’s got the Nullarbor plain to thank for his popularity.

Negative. Cool.

Players and supporters were not supposed to mix but a couple of people at my table took some selfies with several players, so if you were willing to push it you could get access.

I did not try to seek out any of the current list. I did share a urinal visit with Beamer and Trapper who were comparing their games records during their respective times at Brisbane  so I could have mixed with a couple of former players, but opted not to be a fan boy, especially with what we had in our hands at the time.

I was almost too afraid to read  the next line.

That was an ugly turn, I agree, but having seen it I thought keep it! Build some suspense.

Latest news is that all those at my table were negative so the premiership celebrations continue!

While that's true surely they can have a cutoff so people don't waste time waiting in line if they're going to shut up shop before they finish testing everyone there

That is happening in some places that I know of (well, three specifically - two that I was turned away from and then the third put up their 'closed' signs shortly after I got there). They were, however, relying a bit on the honour system because random people were definitely adding themselves to the end of the queue after those signs went up. What was really noticable was that the testing location we were able to get tested at only had two staff, and they were covering all testing and then all prep of test paperwork to then be picked up by courier. At least they were getting to alternate between sitting in the office and standing outside in the marquee, but I couldn't help but think that one extra person could have made the whole thing twice as fast.

It blows my mind that ALL state governments are being stingy on the staffing at so many of these critical bottlenecks. It doesn't add up but that's what you get from silo/bucket budget planning.

I’m flying to QLD (hopefully) on Thursday. [censored] premier wants me tested because the hell with loading an already overloaded system that should be freed up for those who are symptomatic or close contacts… how long has everyone waited for results if they got a test done after attending the B&F?

I worry that 72 hours won’t be enough to test, get results and then apply and receive the border pass.

You might want to check the terms. I have a friend who has only been tested today, and said he could home quarantine in QLD until he gets the results.

I know someone who was leaving today and as of this morning still hadn't received their test back. The rest of the family has theirs.

When did they get tested? 

Why is going on holidays so stressful now? Bloody moronic premiers.

Slightly more than the 72 hours required. ie: 3 days before.

4 members of the family all tested at exactly the same time and all received theirs back at different intervals.

The whole scenario is farcical. Asymptomatic testing is clogging an already overwhelmed system and testing 72 hours prior does not account for the 71 hours afterwards. Rapid tests on departure or arrival would be more accurate although can you imagine the lines/wait at the airport.

There’s worse to come.

We made it into Queensland (which means we queued last week for 1½ hours before we flew out 3 days later). Yesterday, we had to go through the same process in a long line outside a pathology lab on the Gold Coast with hundreds of others, mostly masked but minimal social distancing. The State’s resources are so stretched that the police minister said they would struggle to enforce the testing requirement and that it was virtually an honour system. There’s not only an enormous strain on resources but it places every one who goes at risk of catching it anyway and people who should be tested are missing out. It’s a bloody mess.

    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
