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

Tyson can still go to North, and we can then ontrade the pick we get for him to help get May, and could include next years first rounder or it might not.

Great minds think alike, typed after i read your post, brilliant [censored] Freo.

Definitely

no one will give them pick 1-4 for May which is what they get as compo next year.

On the other hand they have a disaffected captain who they don't want hanging around the club.

Their choice

 

Board the joint up and Give us May for nothing.

I can’t see Brisbane taking a future first round pick. They may as well retain May for next season, they’ll get more in the same draft with the compo pick they’ll receive for him. 

I am sure Brisbane would take a future first round pick, especially as he is a GC player.

I am more than happy to hear nothing from Mahoney. 

Keep Freo guessing and under pressure 

He has said everything that needs to be said on the first day, its all up to Freo's mouthpiece Bell to make the next statement.

Unless it’s a straight swap of Tyson for Preuss

North have already rejected that, which if they wanted Tyson would be amazing, as Preuss is an 8 game player, with none this year.

GC won’t take our pick next year for May. No way they accept it. They will just keep him and get the early compensation pick for losing him as a FA

We’re constrained with what we can offer without the Hogan trade happening, no doubt. 

However, that saying of whenever a player elects their club they wish to play for, they usually get their wish. 

I can only imagine we’re gonna have to cough up a decent player as well as picks.

Not sure why we'd panic. Much prefer Hogan on the list over May, even if we play Hogan in defence for the first few weeks of the season, while Lever gets fit.

This is not a silly idea - it could create another dimension. My mate is asking me, each day from over the fence, '...is Hogan really worth the trouble?' Testing times.

Sorry yes. I understand free what the different contractual status mean. I also understand restricted and unrestricted.

What im saying is if freo and hogan are smart then they wait one more year.

Buddy to swans for pick 18 or whatever the fa compo was is the most likely scenario imo for hogan to move.

And thats why flogs like mcclure are talking hogan out nd may in. Freo would need something serious to happen from the hogan camp to give up 2 high picks. It makes more sense to wait until next yr when hogans uncontracted.

Freo and hogan have the power in these negotiations is all im trying to say. The power is with the players 

I disagree but see where you're coming from. Even next year we'd still be demanding 2 first rounders for him same as Crows with Lever, Blues with Gibbs, GWS with Treloar etc

The buzzword ATM seems to be "brand". I think JH had seriously damaged his brand.

If he stays, whether by his choice, or the clubs' inability to reach agreement, I doubt that Demons' supporters will view him in the same light. 

And if he goes I doubt that many tears will be shed.

Sad really. The club has bent over backwards to support him.

I do find the media chatter to be interesting. 

GC will get pick three in compensation for Lynch is apparently fair and what he's worth.

Shiel will probably cost the Bombers this year's and next year's first round picks, which they think is a bargain for the Bombers. 

Melbourne are asking two first round picks for Hogan, we're dreaming, no way he's worth that, dodgy foot, attitude issues etc etc. 

For the record Hogan is two years younger than Lynch and has him covered in almost every statistic, so if Lynch is worth pick three then we're in no way out of line asking more than that.

I expect the MFC are mentioning those precedents to Freo. Ignore the media chatter.

Yes the club has developed him, supported him tough times and now the club is onward upward.  His brand is weakened and he frankly is a pain in the backside with this nonsense.  Harden up JH and give back to the club who has nurtured you.  Stop peesing about!!!

That is ridiculous. For all we know JH has made his position clear and the delays which are causing us to head to the magic 300 (having passed the miraculous 200) have nothing to do with him.

The 2018 version of MFC doesn't leak like a sieve - doesn't meant than nothing is bubbling in the background.

Re Jessie's foot injury. I know one of the professional's at the club who were looking after his foot. Let me put to rest those who think he was faking, he very definitely had a crack in the Navicular bone. The club was grateful that it was early on and not a full fracture requiring surgery. Seriously some of the conjecture and conspiracy theories stated are way out of line.

Fairly drastic solution, but ok!

    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
