Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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 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

Unless Hogan asks to go, he won’t be traded. You can blow on about professional club and every player has a price and improve the list and blah blah blah, but at the end if the day, no club willingly parts with a player of his calibre.

I just don’t get the argument that he is tradable. He is our number 1 fwd/mid, his skills up the ground and his running capacity is at such a high level. TMac number 2.

As always he has a few things to keep working on but I can’t see a trade giving us the same value as Hogs brings us. 

We need to find a way to fit all 3 of Hogs, TMac and Weid in the team.

I'm not against the club looking at all possibilities, and hope they do, there's just been a lot who've jumped onto trading Hogan because they think he's at his highest value, and that just seems to be the old MFC way of thinking. Draft picks won't do a heap for us for the next few years, we've got a very young list and only really have Lewis, Jones and Jetta who'll come out of the weekends team in the next 3/4 years (due to age, form/injury can happen to anyone). 

There's a lot more emotional outragists on this thread who refuse to even consider the possibility of Hogan playing elsewhere. Reminds me a bit of the Mitch Clark era.

I doubt any right minded person wants Hogan to leave, but discussion about our needs and where he fits into that, including the possibility of a trade, should not be dismissed. I'd be disappointed if the club wasn't doing similar.

I wouldn't call them emotional outragists, Moonie.  I'd just call them posters who see what Jesse brings to the team and how good the 1-2 punch of T Mac and Hogan could be for years and years to come.

I'll add that, if he gave the club some indication that he wants to go back home, then I'd expect the club to follow up on a suitable trade to get that done.  But if he doesn't then I'd suggest the club would not be looking at doing anything with him other than getting him fit and ready to fire in 2019.

Beautiful.

Hes a star.   Get him and Lever back next season into a team with some finals experience and hopefully Viney on the park all season... look out.

If the thread was entitled 'Hogan's best position going forward' then I'd agree.  But when the coach shoots down any chance of him being traded then what's the point of discussing it?  Should we start a thread on every player and get some discussion going on how we might trade them as well?

He was never going to be traded and, unless he wants out, the club will never consider it.

Goodwin just said on OTC that Jesse isn't going anywhere.  'He is Melbourne through and through.'

There were no weasel words around it.  He was very clear and definitive.

Jesse stays!

Strangely the coach ISN'T the last word on lists. If coaches controlled everything... we'd never lose.

It still blows me away that this is going on on any level. Obviously when Kingy says it it has to be looked at, followers will be followers. But why have we considered trading this guy ahead of anyone else on the list? Oliver? Viney? Tracca? TMac? Gawn? If Hogan's tradeble then they are all tradeable...

I have a sneaking suspicion that for many who want to look at trading him, they're only proposing it because they fear the next ten years of trade rumours that will follow him as he racks up 300 games in the red and blue. It's almost like they think they're "onto something" by getting in early? It's absurd to the point of stupidity.

Get used to it folks. It's only JUST starting. For years we've had kids with potential getting poached who hadn't won anything... Just you wait and see what the media will be like if/when we DO actually start blooding players who become decorated with AAs and Colemans and AFLCA champion awards.

I mean, I can't be the only person on here who's fantasised for YEARS about having a gun CHF from another state that everyone creates rumours about? It's like dating a really hot girlfriend. The reason people look is because they're attractive. It's part and parcel of HAVING the good players, isn't it?

and ScoMo was Malcolm's Mate...

Simon might want to focus on the finals ( and best of luck to that... we'll be happy chappies )

The EOS bring any of a 100 surprises. The coach has input...but not final say.

The whole purpose of this thread is about the merits of a trade, the worth etc. We'll let the club have final call on the event.

No one here really can do that eh.

Well that’s true Wise but stranger things have happened at this time of the year. Don’t get me wrong it’s great that the coach has said that but Carlton said the same thing about Gibbs and Richmond about Deledio the year before.

I don’t want to trade him but I still like to see others point of view even if it doesn’t affirm my own opinion.

Of course, we don’t want threads on every player but if they command some good value in the trade market it’s worth at least a thought.

How many "close this threads" calls were on Jack Watts thread?

It doesnt look to me as if Jesse is happy at MFC at all.At all.

If he is as staunch as stated fine, but I dont believe it.

Haven't seen the OTC interview, but seriously folk, did anyone think he'd say anything else? Goody was hardly going to say he's up for trading Hogan in October. It's the start of our first finals in 3279 years and all coaches would state the obvious in this case.

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
