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.

This feels like massive unders... Only May and KK for Hogan?

Feels like = IS 

KK is worth a pick in the 60+ range if you ask me based on Kent , Rohan, Scully talk etc

if we can’t get this done and retain a high 1st round pick it should not be considered full stop

For anyone who can’t stand freo/peter bell this will make it worse, 

talks for Jesse have not stopped, they aren’t on hold and talks are locked in to continue early next week. Not sure what games freo are playing but don’t make a public statement saying you’re not interested and keep talks going. What a joke.

I’m amused by it now more than anything else.

I hated going to Freo games at Subiaco when he was playing. So many Dockers fans used to carry the little reception bells to the game and every time Bell got a touch the muppets would raise the bell and give it a ring. 

It was beyond cringeworthy.

The kk inclusion was my opinion pickers was saying May only. 

I understand why people think it’s unders but if Hogan doesn’t want to be here and won’t sign long term there’s no point in keeping him unless the offer is ridiculous.

He could find his niche in the backline like Hurley has and dominate for years to come.  I'm still sufficiently excited by this prospect.

I can't agree.  And I fail to see any profound "objectivity".

So Jesse goes to the club and says, "look, my preference is to return to WA if you can get a deal done".  We say, "sure, Jesse, but if we can't we're going to play you in defence for the next 5 years".  "You'll not only be happy about it you'll also be signing a new long-term deal."  "How does that sound ?"  "But but I'm a young gun key forward !"  "You were, Jesse, you were."

I'm not buying what you're selling Old, and I sure as hell don't think Jesse is either. 

Lever went for picks 10 and 16.  Picks 5 and 23 are better than picks 10 and 16, although some of the nuffies might try and argue otherwise.  Try and get the deal done.

And there's a synergy with pick 23, which a few years back Taylor turned into Frost, Stretch, and Neal-Bullen.  I'm very confident Taylor can unearth a 150 game player with pick 23, or potentially even turn it into a lower pick.

We'll agree to differ.

So if true this confirms what I think of Bellend. He lies. How or why would anyone trust him.

Dockerland thinking.....

"I think Bell offering pick 11 for Kelly was a master stroke, I think he knew there was no chance he would accept the offer but at the same time Melbourne would've been peeing in their pants thinking that Freo is now trading away the pick we were offering up for Hogan.

This may be the attitude adjustment Melbourne need to take our offer of pick 11 plus our 2nd pick next year. "

A lot of people here are going to be disappointed with what we receive for Hogan if he is traded. 

The player wants out and the Dees are clearly keen as mustard to move him on. If we can get May in the door and a sweetener he’s gone. Hell I suspect the club would simply be happy now if it was just a straight May in, Hogan out arrangement. 

A gun fullback and clear air is the preferable choice to holding on to a sulky wantaway forward bound cheaply for Freo or WC next year IMO.

Get it done now Josh any way you can.

The club is taking a purely needs based approach. If we can turn Hogan into May, KK (a former pick 5 let’s not forget) and some loose change, then given Jesse’s desire to leave I’d be content with that. The picks are just a means to an end.

Alternatively I’d be fascinated to see what Jesse can produce next season were he to stay at the club. We’d get to see how much of professional he really is. Gibbs produced arguably his best football in his final year at a club he didn’t really want to be at.

I was reading this article in the Age, and if what Peter Ryan and Michael Gleeson are saying is correct (and both are highly respected in the industry) then it would be very hard to arrive at a different conclusion

I think that's the missing point.  Tries CHB, dominates, likes it.

Look I'm happy to do the trade at market value but I'm equally happy to try to salvage the best outcome for the club it it can't happen because Bell's a f'wit.

Just imagine the size of the contract GC could offer him with May, Lynch & KK (who was on a  very decent contract) off their books? 

No doubt the AFL will kick in the 500k ambassador allowance to go with it.

1.5 mil plus.

i would think he get closer to 2mill with AFL money included Like what Ablett was paid at the start

Neale to Brisbane

Hogan to Freo

    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
