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.

Roger Mellie is inspired by 'Roger Mellie the Man on the Telly' a character from Viz magazine. 30 years ago I thought it (the magazine more so than the RM character) was pretty funny, not so much now. I probably should change my name, but I wouldn't want other posters to lose sleep over where Roger went.

I used to subscribe to Viz. I used to find it really funny, but it is kinda the same joke/s.

Perhaps change to one of the other Viz characters? Sid the Sexist, Mr Logic or Finbarr Saunders?

And two worthy players at that. I was at Dean’s final match (Round 23 vs. Syd) and although we were there to cheer on the Saints, for us it was pretty much the Dean show. I reckon we gave him more love than the Saints supporters did. 😂

So to change your username you go into your profile and next to your avi is a little symbol like this ⚙️. You click on that and… change away!

It’s a little hard to spot so here’s a pic of it…

BUT…

Choose wisely since you have to wait a month before you can change it again. It’s more important than naming your kid. Coz with your kid you can change it the next day if you want, or anytime. (Looking at you, Gryan Miers’ parents).
 

Thanks for the answer. I thought you had to have a certain number of posts or something.

Most of them wouldn't get through the censor - Terry and Cockney etc.

Maybe Biffa Bacon could be next on the menu? Probably best left in the 80's.

Was really annoyed at the end of 2002 that we let a genuinely good player in Stephen Powell go to St Kilda due to a contract dispute. IIRC he was picked up in the pre season draft so we didn’t even get any compo for him. Powell then became a very good player for St Kilda including playing in all their finals from 04-06.

He only played 2 seasons for us (2000 and 2002) but he was key cog in our midfield as a goal kicking mid. Also kicked 10 goals in the 2000 finals series.

Yes not one of our better efforts. Then again until the last 5-6 years we have been less than wonderful more often that not.

Now that Dean and Jack no longer play AfL it might be time to change my username. What are the guidelines for doing so. 

Not a guideline, but a suggestion you may well have now worked out for yourself. Don't choose a name that's linked to a current player. 

I'm still quite surprised that DeeSpencer hasn't changed his name given he was quick to do so after his previous nom de plumes were made redundant by the departures of Matthew Bate and Alexis Georgiou. Perhaps I should give him the benefit of the doubt and accept that DeeSpencer was a name derived from Stuart, not Jake.

True LDvC although mine has proven remarkably durable after a couple of tricky seasons involving LJ and Jeremy Howe

Will always remember the young cocky Luke Hodge getting in his face in his 1st or 2nd year.
Powell gave him a biatch slap Nate Diaz would've been proud of.
He was a tough uncompromising footballer not about to take rubbish from a snotbag kid.

Pretty sure Powell got a week or 2 for it but I'm sure Hodge learnt his lesson.
You don't fork with Stephen Powell.

Getting back to the dominant storyline in this thread, I recall those dark days of the 1970s when watching Melbourne play on a Saturday afternoon was a pretty dismal experience. On the other hand, music of that time was a great joy. I've recently revisited what was probably called prog-rock in those days listening to a lot of Jethro Tull, Rick Wakeman, Mike Oldfield, EL&P (Emerson, Lake and Palmer), and the Alan Parsons Project. I'd forgotten how enjoyable their music was.

For the uninitiated, I recommend Bouree, Locomotive Breath and Aqualung from Jethro Tull, the Six Wives of Henry VIII by Rick Wakeman, Fanfare for the Common Man from EL&P, and, of course, the timeless Tubular Bells from Mike Oldfield.

Yes, but getting back to the original storyline in this thread, La Dee-vina Comedia, I always say your name (in my head) with a thick Italian accent. Think, Mario Bros. But that’s probs only coz I’m an uncultured ditz. 😆

My preference would be that my name is pronounced with true Italian purity, given it is claimed that proper Italian is based on the work of my author, Dante Alighieri. I think of him as the Christian Petracca of 14th century Italian poetry.

Or not.

    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
