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.

Only solution is buy a subscription and to hell with 7/ AFL. Of course that is probably what they want anyway. 

Channel 7 would probably prefer the eyeballs from Demons games = ads. Especially with all the goals we kick!!!oneoneno111 #amirite

Foxtel would obviously prefer you subscribe. Still a good deal (I'm on Telstra's $10/m deal until mid 2023). All of the golf majors which aren't on FTA, on Foxtel. Cycling too.

The AFL doesn't care, as long as they maximise their broadcast revenue.

The basic Kayo subscription is $25 per month for one stream. The premium is $35 for three streams. The streams can be on any devices.

I've got the premium with my two adult children, so we just organise to pay ~$11.67 each between us.

Correct, I am well aware that the AFL don't care their major concern is cash from media rights. All else is running a bad last. I get the sad feeling that in the new rights deal  the FTA network will get less than 7 in this deal. Only the casual viewer / poor will be watching their team infrequently on FTA.

You get the money out of them? My experience is get them to open the account and I will give you my share. The reverse sees me paying most months with “ oh sorry dad I will send you the money later today” if it works for you then you have my admiration mauriesy.

if you had the free Kayo sub whilst a Telstra mobile customer, and converted to a Kayo account, you were on $5 / mo for I think 12 months and they've extended the $10/mo for an extra I think 1 year.

The purported Paramount+/Ten deal would see I think only 2 FTA games/week? Someone feel free to correct me

Every match in AFL is on the Commonwealth anti siphoning rules

Can't see a Government allowing  7 of 9 games to go behind a paywall but who knows

No one knows. Pure conjecture if you have read that somewhere.

Happy to be wrong with this, I checked FTA channel 7 for our game on the weekend and we are not being broadcast. The premiers and not seen again on FTA for two weeks in a row. Why bother with FTA get a subscription and get every game. So much for sponsors getting more coverage. Yes I know we playing the last team on the ladder. 

In fairness, only 3 out of 9 games are televised on FTA most weeks so the odds are high that we're going to have quite a few weeks on Foxtel.

Although 5 weeks in a row is quite stiff.

So how come some games are not available FTA. 

You need Govt approval to depart from the list.

It is often given if the package is "right"

For example the Govt approved Cricket Australia's request for ALL ODI's involving Australia going behind the Foxtel paywall as of end 2021.

The anomaly is that digital streaming is outside the rules. It only applies to cable. Notwithstanding you'd be a brave code to breach the spirit of the rules without a nod from Govt

Just jumped through some hoops to shut down my Kayo account, because I'm currently overseas. It inspired me to close my Amazon and Uber Pass accounts as well, and then remembered that I also had some sub-accounts through Amazon - none of which I have used for over six months. All in, I think I have thrown over $500 against the wall, because I'm socio-economically stupid and lazy. It's the old gym membership play. I think there should be some law against it.

why humans have pom-poms on their beanies? Like what's the function and when did it become a thing?

Must say I normally cut them off but you are right it is one of life's biggest mysteries

Pom-poms are purely ornamental. 

During WW2 when there was a dearth of pretty much everything - in this case ready-made clothes - women would knit garments since wool was cheap and relatively accessible. Further, knitted garments, when no longer serviceable, could be *unknitted, in a manner of speaking.

Not wanting to waste anything, leftover wool was used to make pom-poms. Two reasons: there wasn’t much else in terms of decoration for one’s attire.

And also coz making pom-poms is cake. So easy in fact that even men can make them  Maybe

Welp, that’s it for theory. Tune in next week for prac. where I’ll teach y’all how to make one. 😁

For those who doubt this is possible, look up the lyrics to the chorus of a song called ‘Undone’ (aka ‘The Sweater Song’) by Weezer. 🤭

I don’t think Salem is anywhere ready. Didn’t he just start running last week? Still think he is 2 weeks away. 

If Dunstan is out then it might be a shuffling of deck chairs to bring a defender or Forward in. My guess :

In : Weid to CHF, Tmac to wing , JJ to mid / HF

Bedford for Chandler as medi sub. 

 

Weideman has had his chances and failed to capitalise. If a wildcard chance was to come into play, I would rather get a game into Van Rooyen. Having said that if Dunstan is fit he plays if not Laurie might be a chance or Bedford as well

    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
