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.

To be fair, Olisik was one of the first here to identify Clayton Oliver as a top prospect (before he was even heard of) If not the first

I remember him sticking his neck out and not long after, the chat about Oliver heightened

It's true he's more visible when the team doesn't do well but that reasoning can apply to a stack of others as well.  His harshest critics can often be just as miserable 

True, but I also was a huge wrap after seeing early footage of his clearance work! Never in doubt he was going to develop into something special!

You're a legend picket, there's no doubt about it!

The point I'm making is that losses are always more of a talking point than wins ... unless it's a GF win.  And we can all sound off when it suits

I don't see Olisik as being any different to hundreds of others here

But he doesn't find fault when we win that's why we don't see him here when we win ... however, there are many here who do find fault when we win

For what its worth my title started way back when i first went to games rooms- The Demons bit was unavoidable as i was born to it (dad was part of social club) the 12345 means nothing and the 2000 was my first year with a computer, but i come in here every day as a silent fan, just love the banter but would love to change to DonkeyDoodleDave one day

@deanox- deano-x or dean-ox?

@Clint Bizkitis still my favourite culture merger. There’d be a whole generation of Demonlanders who have no idea what either references are now. We’re getting old!

My surname isn’t Nash. Nasher was out of a game I used to play 25 years ago, and when I was an online gamer in my youth I started using it as an alias to my normal name when I wanted some anonymity, and for a brief period in the early 00s it became the alias I used everywhere. It has no relevance at all in my life now and this is the only presence where I still use it. 

End life story.
 

Did you used to post on the Melbourne Victory board under the same @Nasher? It seems very familiar from around the time I would frequent that board.

Interesting! I thought your name might have been a reference to BBQ onions from Gus and Gawny, @Engorged Onion

@Skuit always makes me think of Scoot... and what's the reason for yours, @Dee Zephyr? Going back to Windy Hill or something?

@Sydee is like Sydney Dee... but I might have made this up!

Mine simply refers to the kind of play I hope to see our players perform in every game 😊

 

Correct - @DeelightfulPlay supporter of many long years - still have my footy records from the 70s 😀

I apparently signed up early 2006. My god that’s a long time ago. My username was referring to the great Travis Johnstone. At the time Travis was my favorite player and was the most exciting demon going round. He had just had a few great years where he lead the league for inside 50s and score assists. His kicking was sublime and he was impacting games in a way I hadn’t seen before. I loved watching him stream down the wing of the G and blast laser passes through Neitz’s chest. He also stood up in big games, and was always amongst our best in finals matches. After decades of failure and no superstars, it felt like we finally had a superstar midfielder on our hands. 

History shows he didn’t reach those superstar heights we’d dreamed of, and it would take another 15 years until we had our superstar midfielders in Oliver and Petracca. I still love Travis though and feel he’s underrated by demon fans and football public in general. 

As for me, much like Travis’ form, my mood and posting is very up and down!

Amazing that we haven't drafted a player since his departure that comes remotely close to his skill level and talent.

His ability to bullet low flat 40m passes on the chest of Neita was something you could never get enough of. 

Can you imagine how incredible Travis would be in today's line up!? Exactly the type of player that we're lacking.

Similar to this thread - always thought the Stones were singing about 'pistachio ice-cream' as a kid. Easy guess as to the song? 

Grew up hearing the same, and now when I hear that song I sing "Pistachio, Pistachio, a kind of nut'

But back to the thread, for me - boring name + number of fav growing up, Big Jim

Bummer we can only use one reaction emoji, Roy. I ❤️-ed your post coz Jimmy, and because your name is not boring at all! But…

“Pistachio, pistachio, a kind of nut” ????? I laughed so hard at this I was legit crying. 😂 Please tell me you were a little kid at the time and therefore can be forgiven for thinking the Rolling Stones were giving us a lesson in foodstuffs and that this wasn’t strange.

My old man was with the club (not as a player) in the early 60s (so I have been there in person for one flag!), and I had 31 on my jumper of course. After RDB went to Carlton I didn't know what number to get. Hassa Mann and Tassie Johnson were the next captains, but I had met Frank Davis at the club (played on the half back flank in the 64 premiership), and he was always willing to have chat and a kick at the end of training. So number 6 it was (he was number 40 early in his career), and thus my username. 

Great topic!

Personally I’m glad both are still around, even if they have their reasons for not posting. I butted heads with @beelzebuba bit back in the day, but I have no hard feelings at all. We’re all Demons and my opinion, all fundamentally on the same side at heart.

Moderating the forum was a hard and busy job in the early days, @Rhino Richards was one of the few that had the stomach for it. I am personally thankful he was around and I wish he’d pop his head in from time to time.

I hope both those guys enjoyed the flag.

    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
