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.


Jesse Hogan WOW!

Someone mentioned in the game day thread that Carey was glowing in his appraisal of Watts' game. I'd be interested to hear what he thought of Hogan.

My immediate thought was a Jonno Brown comparison but why not aim for the top?

yeah Carey liked his body work and how big and strong he looked. Said he looks like a smart player and praised him when he kicked that goal from the boundary.

But yeah he was exciting to watch and cannot wait until next year when he can play seniors. Its nice to draft a kid who already had muscle and isnt a weed.

If he is 75% of a Jonothan Brown I'd be very stoked, the only drama I have is keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for the next 14 months that nothing happens to him or the other forwards, I really want to see all three on the park at the same time. We will kick some cricket scores.

Australian cricket scores or English cricket scores?

Hogan, Clark and Dawes- how does an opposition back line match up on that? Throw in Howe and the odd cameo from Sylvia et all and you have a forward line that can compete with the Lyon era.

All we need is a small forward ala the Wizz and were unstoppable when the ball gets there.

Our next targets should be a dynamic small and a couple of classy hard midfielders. God I hope Trengove can recapture his junior form!

kent viney and toumpas will fill that roll, perhaps watts too?.

It was an impressive debut. But Barry Predergast will tell you he's no Lucas Cook.

He's carrying too much weight, How do we get him to lighten up.......

And BTW he doesn't smile much so he must be going home....

He had some runs in the midfield for W.A in the under 18's. His field kicking was superb in the carnival it was more his goal kicking that was his weakness. Man it feels good to be excited about a impact player we know can do a job straight away in 2014. I still have hopes for this year but 2014 and onwards looks very good with the hulk in our side.

The fact that he leads up the ground is a massive plus. He can take marks and not just kick goals but set them up. It helps that we have Clarke who if can stay fit will kick plenty.

We just have to forget the nickname "Hulk" It's just so Corn ball.

What about the "Beast"?

It gets us away from a cartoon character and more into the type of attitude we want in a player.

Scott McMahon is a 26yo defender who has played 106 games. He is also 184cm/88kg giving away 12cm and a similar amount in kilos to Hogan.

North either thought McMahon may run off him, liked his chances when the ball hit the ground or didn't pay too much attention to the mismatch. Whatever way you read it he is not a top key defender

Will be interesting to see if Port pay him more respect next week

Can see Facebook/twitter/bigfooty now after he kicks 20 in the first month at casey

"Play hogan"

"What a joke hogan isn't in the team"

Ect ect

Get the number 1's ready for 2014!!!

I guess we may be needing ECT if he is ready to play and he isn't allowed to.

I havent seen the game yet but some have mentioned Carey, J Brown or pre-knee Ox. Are these fair comparisons at his age?

god no. If it were one of their kids maybe. McMahon is a 26 year old experienced defender who should have no problem taking on a kid. Makes it all the more impressive if you ask me

What fndee said.

He's 4 inches shorter...

The kid will be a player but you will be disappointed if you expect him to dominate the Saints in two weeks time. I am assuming there will be ten times more comments about the Casey game than the one in Renmark.

Oddly enough those that play better in the game at Casey will be better prepared for the season ahead than those that play well at Renmark...

    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
