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

Lol. How is flying to Perth going to help his cause?

”Please accept pick 5 Belly. I’ve come all the way across the Nullarbor. It’s a long way to come mate. Pretty please?”

Pretty stressful time for Neale and Adams and he’s showing care because he’s a committed coach and a genuinely good bloke. I’m not surprised you didn’t understand that.

Let me get this straight ... you think he’s going there to give Neale a mancuddle and a ruffle through the hair?

Would say it’s more to ensure no one gets in his ear to stay at Freo when things get tough at the trade table. It’s keeping the Brisbane influence there in Perth

Yes, in fact I’m certain that’s the case. It’s not uncommon. Simon Goodwin has visited Kolo in the last week.

Patches whenever you say things like “I’m certain that’s the case” or “I know for a fact” I instantly get visions of Maxwell Smart and Inspector Clueso.

5 & 23 for Hogan could end up being a good deal if Mahoney weaves his magic. Crows are desperate to move up the draft order so we trade them to Crows for their 8 & 13. 8 is very fair for May & we still end up with 13, a first rounder. 

5 = 1878 points  

23 = 815

TL=  2693

8 = 1551

13 = 1212

TL= 2763.  

 The difference is only 70 points which is what pick 67 is worth. So maybe some horse trading of late picks. Our 65 for their 73 which ironically they have from us as part of the Lever trade last year. Bet none of us knew that. That gets us giving them 10pts over. Good enough. 

KK is weaved in to the pick 8 plus next year's 3rd rounder or whatever. 

Then we use 13 in the draft or we get a ready made gun from somewhere that magically appears at the last moment which FD have been sitting on . 

Alternatively Hogan stays we get May for nothing next year as a Free Agent and get a first rounder for Hogan and end up with more than if the deal was done this year. Although by then Hogan will be sniffing a Premiership and won't go and we'll get May as a FA. Win Win. 

8 is only very fair for May if Suns concur.

Don’t know why people keep talking about pick 8. This won’t move until draft night.

If we have 5, and if Razkine drops to 5, then we may get the opportunity to then trade for pick 8/13.

I'm a novice when it comes to the points system, but would picks 23 and 30 equate to a top 20 pick?

And if we traded 5 for May and KK, would packaging 23, 30 and 36 get us a pick between 10-15?

Have to package to a club in need of points for matching bids on academy/fatherson picks.

 

23 = 815 points

30 = 629 points

36 = 502 points

Total 1976 points which is enough points to match a bid at 5 (without factoring in discounts)

Anyone figured out how much we might have to pay of JH's present contract?

Why would any club pay wages of an opposition player who they've essentially been outbid on?

MFC: Jesse we'll pay you $900k per year, please stay.

FFC: Jesse, come to us and we'll pay you $1 mil a year.

Jesse: Ok Freo I'm in, go and deal with my club.

FFC: MFC, can you please help us out by paying $200k a year for your player that we've offered more for?

It doesn't work like that.

When you say things like "He’s not going there people. The negotiation is dead and buried." I instantly get visions of Grandpa Simpson shouting at a cloud.

Are you admitting you've had a previous account on Demonland? Were you banned, and is it actually allowed to return under a new name?

I’ve admitted nothing other than I’m not the artist formerly known as ‘stuey “.

Anyway, who made you the special ed monitor?

Herald Sun saying our stance re. Two first round picks has softened. Noooooooo 

If we get 5 and 23, Adelaide will trade them both for 8 and 13, which gives us 2 first rounders. 

The question is whether we do that and give GCS 8 for May, or whether we give them 5 and they make the trade with Adelaide. 

If we send pick 5 to GCS I really hope we get something back (say 29).

That way it's effectively:

Hogan for May and 13; or

Hogan for May and 23 and 29 (pick 9 equivalent).

Yet you found it funny that the guess was wrong, not that it was funny Patches thought you were a reincarnate.

It's pretty clear to me, and I hope the mods are thoroughly looking into it.

Adelaide won’t trade up until the live drafting happens.

They would have 2 options

1. Trade for pick 5 now and hope player x is there

2. Wait until player x is there and then trade for pick 5.

 

Obviously option 2 makes more sense for them.

I don't know about Jesse as a backman. I mean we were doing fine until Lever went down. May would help our defense, sure, but Hogan is a much better forward than May is a defender. Don't know what to believe around the freo / Jesse trade. Unless he has a long term injury, they're complete fools. I do hope Jesse will sign an 8 year contract with us if he doesn't go to Freo. I think he's already broken a lot of Melbourne hearts by taking us by surprise with this. Needs to mend the wound if he's going to stay.

I’m pegging you for a front row by the teacher type of kid back in schooldays. Am I right?

    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
