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 Injury Update?

Recommended Posts

Did anyone find it a bit unusual that Dave Mission didn't mention anything about Jesses injury? Normally every play on our injury list gets a mention but nothing on hoges.. I have a yuk feeling he has had a setback and wont mention anything for the time being..

This morning's paper had him at 3-4 weeks.

It's not surprising really. It's a "symptomatic" back injury.

In other words, they have no idea what the problem is, and they are just hoping it gets better.

I'd be surprised if he plays this year to be honest.

That would be an outright joke.

If there is an issue so bad that it can't be diagnosed, you don't say "4-5" weeks, you say "indefinite". That is, lasting for an unknown time. That would be inline with the injury's actual definition.

If he ends up going from "round 1 chance" to "round 4-5" to "round 10-11" to "out for the season", it will be a true insult to the fans. At this stage had they said "indefinite" from the start and at this stage he'd reached 4-5 weeks, we'd all be a little more optimistic. But now we just see a predicted return date that doesn't actually change week-to-week: it's been 4-6 weeks since round 1.

Oh God...426...*head, desk*

Just like they were hoping for Trengove's foot to get better?

I mean WTF. This is a professional team. Supposedly anyway....

i have zero faith in Missons injury management and i bet Clark and Trengove do too

put your hand up for the job - your years of medical and fitness training will be an asset to the club.

Can you imagine the meltdown from "the medical experts" on this board if Chris Judd was a demon ?

Judd's ankle injury and its recovery kept getting extended and extended as it didnt respond to treatment in the timeframe indicated.Then it appeared Judd's injury miraculously recovered and he was rushed to get him back for last weeks game and then he did a hammy in the first minutes he was on !!!

The supporters here would be calling for every medical practitioner in a 50 km radius to be sacked.

Clark? The same Clark that was physically fit to train, but then had setbacks as he suffered new soft tissue injuries, as a result of lack of conditioning? Who missed more time due to mental health issues?

Not sure what on earth makes you think any of that Misson's fault, or that he somehow didn't do his job properly.

Trengove? The same Trengove who had scans that showed nothing?

I bet you think they should have just sidelined him indefinitely, without evidence or justification.

Seriously, THINK for once.

I looked at the injury list this morning for all clubs and we are actually doing much better than most other clubs.

I don't give any credit to Misson and his team for this. I give all the credit to luck. We are lucky that our players havent been injured in a high collision sport called Aussie Rules football and the ones that have been injured have, in the main, recovered and are playing.

back injuries create the "overlap" of hamstring problems.

this could be the setback with hoges.

patience from dee fans we hope

The club sets false expectations on when they will return.

The reason for circles is because what you describe as false expectations others are describing as the club giving estimates on the bodies fickle and ever changing recovery times that need to be taken as estimates and nothing more.

Hogan will get over his injury... but Dees supporters will never be patient :-)

Can we bring back Andrew Daff? Or has that relationship gone down the drain even with the change in management at the club?

That relationship is long gone, the way daff was treated was a joke and he was furious with the club. He was working part time at Richmond not sure if he still is or not.

Disgraceful though I understand his falling out was more in relation to Misson being given greater say than the club doctors.

Misson had a terrific record at Swans and Saints, I think he's very good.

What most here are frustrated about is the setting of expectations only to have them broken. Hogan was a chance for R1 apparently but is now looking like mid season. Garland was having his operation "now" so he'd be right to go round 1. He may play R6 despite "going really well" in all the injury updates. I think most appreciate it's a contact sport and the injuries players get will take varying times to heal but I think many are frustrated at unrealised expectations. One or two weeks variation in an estimate is fine, Garland and Hogan are months out. That disappoints, particularly as they are very important players.

Surely we don't need to go round in circles with this again? Most people are not complaining that our players get injured, only that the club sets false expectations on when they will return.

I'm pretty sure hogans_heroes was complaining about players getting injured.

And yet Dom Tyson was recovering from injury during the offseason and was aiming at being ready for round 1 and was.

Relapses, recoveries not going as planned, further complications are all part of injuries not only to sportsman but to people in general. I used Judd as an example of a player that was due to be up and firing for the beginning of the year. Goodes and Tippett ( he now has a rib issue) are also weeks behind their estimated return dates.

I read the injuries reports as not being optimistic but rather " if everything heals and recovers in the normal course of events". "Normal course of events" commonly don't transpire.

I find it interesting that we actually have one player that looks to my untrained eye to be ready much earlier than anticipated- which is unheard of - Aiden Riley.

    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
