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.

I just logged on and found out about Jess; i hope like every one else he is going to be ok? Let be known Jess we are thinking of you and can't wait to see out on the MCG doing what you do best.  Thoughts are with Jessie's family.

Nice to hear that Sam Rowe is going to give support to Jesse after going through the same experience.

Strange to think that it was only a few weeks ago that Jess got rubbed out for his uppercut to Rowe's jaw.

Hope he can help Jess get through this. Great to hear that everyone's behind the kid.

Could not believe the news. Best wishes to him and his family. There is a silver lining to this for Jesse, he wants to be a part of a winning team, the bonding these players are going through right now, caring for each other,  will make them a better team and will stand them all in good stead down the track. Jesse will get some clear air soon he bloody well deserves it.

I think you are spot on in terms of the the sharing and caring for each other will help this team. The two most used word by players to describe their relationship with each other this year are mates and brothers. What Jessie is going through will bring them together even more.

Also before the Pink Lady game PJ (and a player, who i can't recall) mentioned a woman who worked for the club had been diagnosed with cancer and that had it affected everyone. Such a wicked disease. 

No doubt such things bring the whole club together, not just the players.

Was just announced on the Triple M Rush Hour that they had received a text from Jesse's manager saying that he is awake from his surgery and it all went extremely well, good signs!!!

Before anyone jumps down my throat, I feel a small amount of humour is warranted.

I also found a lump on my [censored] a few years back, while.. uh... 'checking'...

Mine was benign fortunately. Scared the [censored] out of me though.

Best of luck Jesse.

 

Edit: additional lol at the censorship

Life is full of little ironies, is it not?  Who could have guessed that the very guy who Jesse took a pop at a few weeks ago would be the same guy who is probably best placed of all the current crop of AFL players to help Jesse through this trial in his life.  Guess it's a good thing Sam doesn't hold grudges.  (Mind you, he probably accepts a certain amount of culpability for their interaction on that day.)

Anyway, I can only add my voice to the chorus of all and sundry wishing Jesse a speedy recovery.  As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...!

My wife is going back home to visit her family next month.

Might be an opportune time for me to "check" also.

Can't be too careful.

Fortunately things have come a hell,of a long way since Peter Crimmins' day.

Very curable but an awful blow to a young man who has just been through his father's cancer death.

All our best wishes, Jesse.

If and when you are able to return you will be most welcomed by all.

I've now seen all of today's pressers, and a number of media commentaries about Jesse's situation.  They reinforce what we already knew, and that is that we support a great football club.  Their professionalism in handling the situation has been of the highest order, and we know that their support for Jesse and his family will be unstinting. I'm very, very proud to be a tiny part of the 'family'.  Get well quick Jesse!

Poignant pic of Roughy embracing Jesse after the game the other week, no doubt offering condolences. Coincidentally, it's 1 year to the day since his own cancer diagnosis. Thankfully, Jesse's prognosis sounds a lot more positive than what Roughy initially faced.

This has probably already been said but given the timing the impact will be more psychological than physical and Jesse is really lucky to have a great peer group around him. There would be no better place to be than a footy club for a young man in this situation.

Hopefully he makes a full recovery. I was 95% chance of complete cure and then 4 years after that it came back. It is an  insidious disease and not to be underestimated.

From the sound of it he should  recover well. It is a disease that impacts both physically and mentally and the timing after losing his father is tragic.

Football for him is secondary, get well Jesse, enjoy life and be strong.

Got to feel for his Mum

Fortunately the prognosis sounds as good as it could be. Thank heavens he had a medical team that he trusted and who he spoke to earlyon . We can sit on these things for way too long out of shyness/ denial. Well done Jesse and the club and good luck 

See you next year for the Coleman and a Premiership

Thoughts with the big fella. Neither he nor we can take a trick at minute. Look forward to seeing him back in the number 1 smashing packs soon after he gets through this battle. Once again though I am so proud of the way the club has handled this from not leaking last week to the way our boys kept their heads together to represent on Saturday to the way Mahoney and Zeeshan handled today. How great is it to support a professional club unified at all levels that has great care for their people.

Didn't Simon O'Donnell have the same disease some years ago. I would think that there are a number of sportsmen who the Club could organise for Jessie to talk with. 

I agree with the other comments that he is in the best place to recuperate. The Club has done a mighty job supporting Jesse through his father's illness and now to be confronted with this. Kudos to the Club being able to control the noise from the outer regarding Jessie's father and now for getting on the front foot (with approval from Jessie and his mother) to control the frenzy that could have resulted if there had been a leak regarding his latest battle. Mahoney was right when he said that he is 22 years of age an he has had to become mature way beyond his years.

I am heartened by the Club Doctor's prognosis and look forward to Jessie's return to playing.

I know it's been said a lot that it has a very high survival rate but I thought I'd also share a family friend had it as well and not only survived but had children afterwards.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Port Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons begin their 2 week adventure in South Australia tonight when they face the Power from Port at the Adelaide Oval. Both teams will be keen to stamp their early credentials for September in this Top 4 clash on the big stage.

    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
