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.

and all things bananas, don't forget red

In WA, they are banana snobs. They think those small uninviting Carnarvon bananas are the only ones worth eating.

He knows about all the speculation. He hasn't signed. I'm 98% sure he's gone and as such have invested no emotional attachment to him.

Clearly he has a bit decision to make, but i think you're forgetting there is an agreement that will soon be struck that could mean an extra hundred grand or more for him at the top end of the pay scale, we've clearly improved but can we hold it over the whole season?

I think Jesse will stay because we're on the rise and he's stucka round through the hard times, it seems crazy to go to a team who is about to begin a re-build.

At the end of 2017, Jupiter wil be on the other side of the solar system to earth, and Neptune will be at 90 degrees. Saturn is close and the influence will be strong. That means he's staying ... or maybe he's going.

Of course you could be talking out of Uranus.

Those two things have nothing to do with each other though, Roost.

The speculation isnt his fault.  If I was Jesse I wouldn't have signed yet either when my contract still has 18 months left to run. but I reckon he will extend within the next 6 weeks.  Maybe around Queens Birthday..

Freo may not be too confident of landing Hogan. McCarthy is a certainty to go there and they're chasing Jenkins with a 5 year deal.

They also chased Hooker. But they weren't on their own.

I'm not sure young guys get homesick as much as people think.  But for 12-15 million he might miss Perth enough to go back and give up success with us.

The homesickness idea is irrelevant these days .

Freomight be stupid enough to blow their cap for the next decade.

im pretty sure we won't offer anywhere near it.

As soon as the CBA is through I bet his manager will have him extend for another two years at a revised $

then everyone can get on with life.

Unfortunately our friend Jonathan Cainer, the world's foremost astrologer, is no longer with us, so we may never know.

But I did read in today's horoscope that a tall dark stranger will soon be leaving my life ... to a place with water ... and bridges ... for a swap with another tall dark stranger ... the number 8 is prominent ... plus a first rounder and a second rounder.

Should Hogan be made to take some responsibility for inducing panic?

Please explain.  How does he take responsibility for speculation?  How would you make him take responsibility?  Will you go and stand over him and demand he do?

The bloke who went to GWS, got about 3 times the yearly salary we would have contemplated for him and a 6 year contract. That is nowhere near the difference it could be here, if money was the sole factor. Also at that time the whole club was crap. Now we are a far better club and team.That bloke seemed a bit aloof from his team mates, JH is one of the boys and has some great friends in the team.

There is also the little fact of an 8 hour return flight every second week for a bloke who has lost a year already with back issue.

As someone said above we also have great coffee.

 

 

And I very much doubt if The Great Gawnius Maximus would chuck all over Jesse either.

a fellow traveller on the football superhighway reckons that we'd be silly to sign him on a long-term contract with six figures after a $1...

 

i completely disagree.

 

i don't think people realise how good this kid can be. he's played less than 30 games and he's doing things 100-game key forwards can't do.

 

i still think he'll be the best forward in the competition in five years, if not sooner, and that he's integral to our future premiership prospects.

 

i think the equation is simple too - the team performs on the field, why would he want to go anywhere? a lot of that comes back to jesse too; "if it is to be...it's up to me!".

 

i reckon he can deliver, big-time.

Hope the result lies in the 2%.

I think the big thing that has people sucked in is the talks being on hold, i reckon the majority of AFL players wouldn't be super keen on discussing a long term extension with 2 years to run on an existing contract if they were in a side that had been at the bottom the entire time they were there.

and to be clear, it's not so much the player who determines the tactics but the player's manager

Roos has already publicly intimated where the club stands on this

"Hogan will be well paid, no matter which club he is at" (we are going to give him a one off offer, which will be based on what we think of him as a player in a team)

"You can't afford to spend a lot of money on one player if you want to build a team" (we will not be held to ransom or get in a bidding war)

If the manager manages to convince Fremantle to cough up the sort of money being spoken about, and convinces Jesse to take it,  I don't think we would be interested in matching it

I don't. I think he'll extend once the CBA is announced.

For what it's worth and to add to the 98%, I saw a private tweet from Jay Clark today that simply said "He's locked in"

I don't know how on the money Jay Clark usually is, but he seems pretty sure.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
