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.

‘Demonstone’ you forgot ‘rjay’ 

‘rjay’ always uses quotation marks when addressing posters. It’s an ‘rjay’ thing. So, ‘demonstone’ please remember ‘rjay’ next time.

Sir Why You Little:     This is what a typical Demonland thread looks like.

Lord Nev:     No it's not.  I'm sorry SWYL, but you've got it all wrong.

binman:     I'd like to add a brief comment but we all know that's not bloody likely.

old dee:     This thread will never be any good.  It's doomed to fail dismally.

picket fence:     Sheeeit!!!!!  I'm more EXCITED about this thread than BIG KEV could ever be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Jaded No More:     I (censored) hate Geelong and this thread is almost as bad.

Clintosaurus:     The umpires will influence this thread.  It's the narrative that the AFL and media want.

Lucifers Hero:     Can the thread title be changed to "What They Are Saying At Brunton Avenue"?

daisycutter:     i don't see how capital letters could possibly improve this thread.

Ethan Tremblay:     This thread has sewn up a trade coup for MFC.  Make of that what you will.

Bitter but optimistic:     Has anybody "maid" a double entendre yet?

WalkingCivilWar:     Have some "manors" Uncle Bitters.  Soz, but Ima say it anyways.

faultydet:     Sigh.  This is just more woke virtue signalling.

rpfc:     I've nothing to say but here's a GIF for you.

Cranky Franky:     I object to everybody and everything in this stupid thread.

dazzledavey36:     I've been watching this thread since its junior days and knew it would make the top level.

willmoy:     This is a biased thread because of the maggots.

adonski:     This thread would be far better if Jacob van Rooyen was in it.

Demonstone:     Oh dear.  This thread is riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.

WERRIDEE:     I've made up a possible team using the names of all the posters in this thread.

Demonland:     This thread is now closed.  Take it to the "Changes For Next Thread" please.

 

Could not have said it better dstone.

I miss Deeluded.

Couldn't write a sentence to save himself but.. 

I miss trying to decipher what the bloody hell he was on about! You tried clarifying and he'd take you down some other weird and wonderful rabbit hole. It was like having a conversation with the serial pest, Peter Hore!

I know this thread will likely run 4-6 weeks, but there’s a better than even chance it’ll run longer.

Back then dl was convinced that the Northern Stand 'people' were the sole reason as to why we never won games ... it was all their fault

And the hub of course ... if we, as a group, had a place to visit after the games to have a coffee, we'd have also won more games

None of it ever made any sense

However, he is missed as he was part of what we are - a motley crew

From memory, his logic was something along the lines of there being too many backslappers in the Northern Stand that detached young players from reality and gave them too high an opinion of themselves. If there were only a community hub, they might start rubbing shoulders with salt of the earth types like himself and becoming more humble and better footballers. Supposedly, coaches no longer being able to give Ron Barassi/Norm Smith style sprays didn't help things either.

Never mind that we had a VFL quality midfield in 2012, a generation of draftees who either went on to success elsewhere or were wound up after 50 odd games, a CEO who was making draft selections, a sponsorship deal with a inveterate racist internet troll whose business model was built on a house of sand, and a coach whose first post game presser is used in AFL training circles as an example of not what to do.

I'm sure the latter set of examples had nothing to do why we were shot. It was all the social club and Northern Stand.

Deeluded's rants about the Northern Stand & the would-be hub in Elwood were priceless

Every day for close on 10 years.  Multiple posts per day as well on both non-talking points.  Stickability skills to the fore

And how about Rhino & Bub? ... the use of the like-type function only for those 2 now

 

Putting on a chastity belt and throwing away the key for them.

When you say “Connected in some way to the MFC” does emotionally connected count?

Asking for a friend who’s psych. ward level obsessed with the MFC and if brutally honest would admit to loving the Dees more than her own children. And not just a little more. A bunch more.

    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.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    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
