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

What, have I stumbled into a biscuit review thread?

FMD...

Yes because Freo don’t want the chocolates, so the conversation has moved on to biscuits

Hear, hear!

Peter Bell strutting around like Napoleon playing to the peanut gallery in Perth. Goodonya little fella. Pfft!

All posturing aside Freo’s endgame here is to get us to agree to 5 & 23 for Hogan. They then trade 11 for Lobb and get the two big men they’re after in the door. 

Our likely final asking price is 5 & 11, which gets them Hogan but risks them missing out on Lobb. So you can see their bind.

In any case, if they don’t [censored] Neale off to Brisbane Hogan will remain a Demon. That much we can be sure of. Hogan goes nowhere unless pick 5 is transferred to us. 

I still have a feeling next year’s first round picks may come into play in the final wash up. 

Fun and games folks. Don’t get sucked in by the ‘mean and nasty’ of it. It’s just business.

They know exactly what we want, they got their kicks out of sending this offer through to the MFC.

They think they are calling the shots.

Josh needs to get a few beers into a fired up Todd Viney and hand the phone to Todd with Peter Bell on the other end.  A few home truths to the garden gnome should get things moving.

That's exactly what we need haha. Our list management team calling Freo, drunk.

Dark Chocolate Royal or an original Tim Tam please. 

Family Assorted were always 2nd choice!!

I’m sure the royal use to have a smear of jam in them, last pack I bought didn’t though.  Do you crack the chocolate that covers the marshmallow on your forehead before you eat them as well?

There was a Jam variety for a while, but they have evaporated, and yes to bash a Royal on the forehead before eating was a school tradition!! :)

Freo you you have it all wrong. You want Jesse Hogan you forget that he is worth the 2 first round drafts  picks. In return we will give  you a packet of Dunking biscuits for your Football Department to SUCK ON!  No chocolate Teddies for you lot.

So you're putting Carlton up as the example to follow??

What I'm getting at is either Hogan hasn't been honest with the club (during season) or the club hasn't been honest with us. Angus and Goody hosed off noise around Hogan leaving WEEKS ago, defending his commitment to Melbourne. Jesse "loves" Melbourne they said. Clearly Jesse doesn't.

Yes. It's possible to be on the bottom of the ladder, and handle a situation well. It's also possible to be 2nd on the ladder and handle a players last year poorly, Look at Adelaide with Lever. You think it will be unprofessional like that? Players rumoured to have been ignoring him, half time grand final arguments and the club not inviting him to b& f.

I think Orios are grossly overrated. Gaietys are really good possibly my favourites.

I don't like Chocolate Ripples. And I think Chocolate Ripple Cake is best left to 5 year olds.

Marie/Milk Arrowroots are the very essence of boring.

Family Assorted - abysmal. Especially the biscuits with the yellow (pus) filling.

And the squashed ants biscuits are also terrible.

 

and wagon wheels?

It is entirely possible the real situation is that Jesse wants to stay but doesn’t want to sign a long term deal yet whilst the club wants a long term deal for certainty thinking it’s better to take the pain now than in 2 years. If that is the case both sides have been honest. Jesse has had a rough trot and probably not sure what he wants in a few years thus told the club he doesn’t want to commit for 4 years whilst the club has said that’s what they want.  We should be slow to suggest a lack of candour.

An extremely good question bb. 

Not an easy answer especially when you do not have all the clues.

Not at all OD. By all accounts this should be slam dunk , cut dried, cough up or its no go.

Yet neither side acting that way.

Quite honestly one of the most bizarre acts at the circus I can recall. 

Show's not over yet though. The bearded lady , sword swallower and snake wrangler to come.

So far it's like we've gone to the show bought a Hoadley's bag and there's no Bertie Beetles. Worse some kid we've never met is taunting us with them on the madmouse.

All makes Twin Peaks look normal !!

That is what I was hoping would happen. Freo have cut their nose off to spite their face. West Coast will now almost certainly win another flag with Hogan up forward and Freo have no one to blame but themselves.

Hogan is worth two 1st rounders with one being in the top 10.

It’s now that Freo want us to buckle. If they don’t trade Neale, then the only bare limit deals for me are either

Freo 1st pick 11 and Ed Langdon FOR Hogan 

or

Freo 1st pick 11, Freo 2nd Rd  pick 23 and Freo future 1st Rd 2019 pick FOR Hogan and MFC pick 36.

    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
