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.


Farewell Jesse Hogan

So many nervous nellies with zero patience on this forum.

“Just take pick 5 and move on I’m over it.” “They’ve got no early picks the deals off.” Moan, moan, whinge.

Gee whiz I’d love to buy your houses at auction!

Ya’all need a little Axel Rose in your lives at the moment ...

I love that we now have people throwing in the "throw Frost in and that'll do it" line. Frost was a lot better than Oscar at stages this year and if Lever goes down or May goes down, I'd rather Frost as  a backup defender over everyone's favourite Casey legend, Declan Keilty or the legend in the making, Harrison Petty. Neither have shown anything to excite at AFL level. This circus is going to roll on until the end of next week. god help us all

wow, I go away for an hour and come back to 5 more pages; there are some mighty unproductive work centres out there!?

5 more pages of the same recycled content.  Be hard vs be pragmatic, with the occasional "hes a FA next year" fallacy for spice.

At least there's been some real actual movement today with Freo's pick trade.

Quite simply, if Freo remain committed to holding Neale to his contract, they don't get Hogan.

Two predictions:

1: Demented souls outpouring bile as Dees announce a trade that meets with practically no Dee supporters expectations ( unless you're like me and guage by outcomes, overall, not swapping marbles or footy cards )

2: nobody will give a flying @#$& when we hold up the cup in a year or two.

That puts you in a very small group jr.

I think the FD are for reasons unknown to us hell bent on him leaving.

I think you are correct.

In 2018

1. Check the win/loss ratio with him in the side against without him.

2. His style of play, reaction time does not fit with our game plan,

Just thoughts.

As I said before this years first pick would have been 16. Show me how it is a FACT that we could do the trade for May without trading Hogan. Feigning boredom suggests it was not a fact but speculation on your behalf. 

You asked for an example, l didn't have to but l have you one. Move on. l am

Has the Beams request of a trade been confirmed? I have a feeling Barrett is just trolling. 

Apparently Fagan came out and said he hasn't requested a trade.

Barrett then back tracked saying 'in an ideal world Dayne Beams would be at Collingwood next year'.

Not sure the FD agree with you Steve.

I reckon they will take one first rounder and something else. That might even be next year.

How does that grab you?

It's posts like these that expose the soft underbelly of some supporters. 

I'm happy to put my hand up and say I am thrilled with the progress we have made, but that doesn't mean we all need to blindly agree with the club on everything and believe that the club doesn't now make mistakes.

Perhaps you are easily pleased but I want to win a premiership and believe that a dogmatic, ruthless approach is what is required from here with the dealings with Fremantle.

 

Good on you hero. You ruthless tough guy you. Wish you were running the FD, we’d have seen much quicker progress than we’ve seen from the MFC over the past five years. Wooden spoon to premiership fancy heading into 2019, it’s just not good enough. We should have had at least two more Cups in the trophy cabinet by now. I so share your “extreme disappointment” with Josh Mahoney and the rest of them pea hearts!

If you’d bothered to follow the thread from about page 100 you will have seen wonderboy that of everyone I have been one of the most consistent advocates of Melbourne playing hardball on the Hogan trade. I just don’t jump at shadows like you though or cower under my sofa every time some chump journo like Tom Browne floats a half baked scare piece that he likely extrapolated from a rumour on Bigfooty.

The MFC footy department have barely put a foot wrong in the recent past, have said almost nothing publically on the Hogan trade except the usual throwaway platitudes, and deserve our support and respect to get the job done behind closed doors. 

You potting them from behind your keyboard with zero evidence to support your criticism isn’t tough or dogmatic. It’s just insulting ... and ungrateful. Yeah I think that’s the word - ungrateful.

Is it too sensitive for some supporters to bring up the fact that if we held firmer with the Lever trade, we would be able to get May without needing the picks from Freo

So in future when you say something is a "fact" we should read "Demons1858 makes stuff up" as you do not back up what you say. Why state something as a fact when you have no idea?

6-6-6 at centre bounce rule changes just announced no longer stacked backlines....key forwards value just went through the roof

As did the value of key defenders like May.

It would completely and utterly fly in the face of Mahoney's stance.

But then again, if we get 11 for Hogan (plus dreggs) and GCS accept that for May then does it actually even matter we didn't get 5, 6 or otherwise?

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
