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

If the conspiracy theory you’ve dreamed up makes you feel sick, maybe stop thinking about it for a little while?

It is not a dream Nasher, it is me putting all the pieces together and trying to come up with an answer.

If it is true then it is the fact that the AFL and Fox have got together and concocted this scenario that makes me sick.

Every year that goes by I feel more and more manipulated by the powers that be. And that makes  me angry.

Never mind we will find out tomorrow night.

If a multi club trade is announced I will consider myself vindicated.

Hogan stays. Circus continues another 12 months. 

Bell to take the Neale pick 5 to the superdraft, or trade it up for two mid first rounders. Get Hogan in on the cheap next year while adding top shelf young talent to their list now.

As a result May to go to a Melbourne based club, just not us.

Of course I’m not happy with this outcome as a Dees supporter. But this is the route I believe Freo under Bell and Rosich are taking. 

They’re not the dills many on here want to cast them as. 

I would hate to think of what sort of pie will get thrown at you if you are wrong.

The Age article has us, hypothetically, getting May, KK and Pick 23 for Hogan.

It's not a sexy deal by any means, but we address two needs - a key back and outside run - while still potentially maintaining a very potent forward line, while also holding on to our first round picks for the next few years that we can use for further moves over the coming seasons.

It's a good outcome, although I can understand why people may see this as unders to begin with.

May - A player who fills a hole that has cost us multiple game this year. 

KK - Was pick 5 in 2013.  Looks a bit of a Morton, given his pace, skills and lack of contested game.  That being said his brother has turned into a bit of a beast for Geelong, so maybe there's something there. 

Pick 23 - Who knows?  Last few pick 23's have included: Will Walker; Alex Witherden; David Cunningham; Pat McKenna; Matt Crouch; Marco Paparone.  In other words, a mixed bag, but a couple of good ones here and there. 

Overall, I'd feel that we probably got a bit less than Hogan is worth, but it would be a solid return in terms of getting what we wanted out of the trade period.

I expect we probably are having a look at a few Delisted Free Agents if we need 8 players.

 

Purely for depth purposes only, I wouldn't be adverse to having some players like Sam Gibson, Tom Bell, Jackson Merrett, Cory Gregson, Nathan Freeman. Guys that can come in and play a role if we are struck bad by injuries.

Nathan Wright as back up in the event Nevill were to get injured. We need another small defender in the squad.

If we take that club it will be on the club to spin it in the way you have there. At the end of the period every club will be saying they are happy because they have filled need X and managed to trade into/remain in position Y in the draft. 

We will definitely be getting unders for Hogan and Mahoney’s bold statement of a trade for hogan being up there as one of the highest of all time will look like a complete joke.

Said bugger all. Lots of people putting words in his mouth.

Much I what I recall has been predictably generic.

Some of what I thought he'd said he hadn't at all

All the traders should be locked in a room with no chairs, no food, no water, no toilets and not be let out until all the deals are done.

now this is the trade tv show id watch. Only one emerges alive - and gets all the trades for their club.

I know they’re just numbers but Jake Kolodjashnij was pick 41 in the same draft as Kade....stating the obvious, but there has to be something there that recruiters saw in Kade for him to be taken at 5.

Lets hope so anyway..

Wonder why we requested to use our 2019 first rounder in a trade...

Have we received a response to this?

If so, surely Lewis can flick some emails around for the players to sacrifice the salary cap required to keep Hogan and get May

Really said we needed to do hogan deal to get May etc etc 

Not really. He was asked whether we could get May without offloading Hogan to which he replied no. He didn’t bring it up to my knowledge. Simply being honest.

Scully's ankle is [censored] and Wingard is a downhill skier. 

Plus they are losing Burton who is a very promising young gun. Had a poor season this year but was a gun in 2017.

We can only hope that Burton is a gun and Scully & Wingard are busts. Seriously other than the Dees winning a flag my greatest hope is to see Hawthorn slide. 50 years of domination is enough.

The conspiracy theory that trade period is largely a manufactured farse is actually doing the rounds at the moment - and not just one poster here's thought bubble 

I agree that there is growing whispers that the last day is when trades must be announced in line with the Fox telecast.

Good question. It’s probably been mentioned somewhere in these 380 odd pages. Was this plan B for May if Jesse stayed? Or do we have someone else in mind and we’ve kept really quiet about it?

I don’t think life gets any better than this. 

If it was Caramel Crowns you wouldn’t have been able to post that due to a supreme euphoric state.

Pre-concussions Kade was a gun. Second in their BnF a few years back. He was on his way to being an All Australian standard half back flanker. Unfortunately he suffered multiple concussions and hasn’t been the same since. Hopefully our medical team will be able to work their magic like they did with Brayshaw. It may take time, but if he can get past the health issues and get back fulfilling his potential we’ll have an AA standard half back or winger on our hands. He’s an elite kick, has good pace and agility and isn’t afraid to go when his turn. He’s the biggest potential steal of the trade period.

    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
