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

This Hogan bloke can’t wait to see the back of the joint.

Evidence for that crude statement is extremely thin.  This EtDragon bloke seems to be doing his best to enter the troll stakes.

If Bell wakes up and Neale goes to Lions, expect the Hogan conversation to restart. The trade is still a 30/70 likelihood.  

Neale met with Bell after Bell’s appointment and told him he won’t play another game with the Dockers (according to an article I read yesterday). I understand the Dockers wanting to hold a player to their contract however days before Bell was appointed the Dockers were open to trading Neale. Along comes Bell and quashes the potential trade, he must really want that feather.

The difference being old Cale would’ve signed a three-year extension quicker than a Clayton Oliver handball in traffic if one were presented to him.

That is an opinion, not a fact. 

Contracts mean absolutely nothing now. 

Who cares if a player signs an extension for 3 years. They just walk anyway...

i have no problem with Jesse. Infact I sympathize with him for what he has gone through in the last 18 months. 

Are both of your balls fit and healthy??

I expected as frequent a poster as you are to be up to speed on this ‘joke’ that’s been done to death over the last week.

Strange post. 

You seem to be implying that because I’m suggesting Jesse wants out of Melbourne that I somehow lack empathy for his personal life. I think you said the same thing in a roundabout way to poster AF.

I have no problem with Jesse other than I want players at the footy club I support who are committed, keen and signed up to the cause. Not halfway in, halfway out with an eye every 12 months for the exit door, fielding offers from this place and that. 

It brings a bad energy and unwanted media speculation to a team desperately trying to win a premiership. If you can’t see that you’re living in LaLa Land WYL.

Nor does he sound keen to be a Docker.  He looks totally unenthused.    But it's just his usual demeanour.   If that was a clip of him arriving from Perth thinking of joining the MFC, a MFC supporter suffering from MFCSS would despair of him playing for the Demons.  While you may be right, you are reading far too much into that clip.

You don’t understand. 

ANY CONTRACT can now be broken. This by in philosophy is dying. 

For the players it is a job. I have no problem if Hogan is traded. BUT I want top dollar ? You are prepared to put him on the front lawn and see who picks him up

2 days ago YOU agreed with me when i passed on a conversation that said Hogan would play off Half Back next year. 

Your facts (opinions) change every 20 minutes and are written in concrete. 

Me in La La land, take a look in the mirror Range Rover

Just a young man doing his due dilligence on a rival offer. Very common place and there are plenty of players who’d done this and gone back to the clubs they were at. 

There is nothing in the article that tells you he wants to be a demon or docker more.

It was 2 1st round picks then later on we have heard 5 and 23. Well that aint 2 1st round picks. If we now get rid of Hogan for shall we say 5 and a future second rounder then there better be something wrong with the bloke because otherwise it seems like weakness on our behalf. As I have said before I would not deal with them.

Nice story 'GNF'.

Up there with Little Red Riding Hood & a few other tall tales.

Make it plausible by using North, they're throwing cash around like confetti. Problem is their offers are for free agents and out of contract players. Oliver is neither.

Olivers vague connection to North is that they are an AFL team & he is an AFL player.

It didn't make the media because it didn't happen.

I have no doubt when Oliver's next contract is due he will get some very large to massive offers and we will need to take good care of him.

Rjay, this and everything else I have ever said on Demonland is info I have heard directly, usually it’s from the club sometimes it’s from friends in the player management game.  If you don’t want to believe what I write don’t, you have every right to believe what ever you want.  

Player managers call each other everyday to test the market to see if a targeted player may be able to be seduced. NM did enquire about Oliver with a massive deal, the truth is they are probably not the only club to have made an enquire. It happens all the time. It means nothing. Only a small percentage of these make the media.  I don’t make this stuff up. 

As for others on here that abuse me for saying what I hear. Get a life. Until this, I have never responded to your insults, I am entertained you waste so much of your time trying to discredit me.  The abuse I received for telling you after R5 2013 that Neeld was soon to be fired and Roos was locked in as our coach in 2014, or the abuse for letting you know Clark was coming out of retirement but would not play for MFC, we were “blindsided”, or that we were looking to trade out Pick 2 in 2013.  I could go on.  Each time I cop abuse.  Its extraordinary.

One last thing which continuously comes up. 4 years ago I never said we were getting Dangerfield, I only said Roos had made a play for him, which was true.

I can never understand why statements like this are made. A player can only walk away if he doesn't plan on playing or earning an income for the duration of the rest of the contract.

He can certainly request a trade at any stage, as can the club, but without a three way agreement the only alternative for the player is to stand out from playing.

Having a contract doesn't mean you can't request a change, but it does mean you can't make a unilateral decision to change. If Hogan or anybody else didn't have a contract the club would have less leverage with that player and in this case 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
