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

That's exactly what we need haha. Our list management team calling Freo, drunk.

It’s better then being on the glass pipe and suggesting ridiculous trades like Freo are at the moment.  They’re in La La Land.  Send in Angry Todd, imagine being on the other end of him breathing fire down the phone at you, Neale to Lions for pick 5, 5 and 11 to the Dee’s and an apology from P.Bell for being s jive turkey.

I’m sure the royal use to have a smear of jam in them, last pack I bought didn’t though.  Do you crack the chocolate that covers the marshmallow on your forehead before you eat them as well? 

Royals should have a biscuity bottom...layer of jam.. marshmallow on top all coated in chocolate. If not it is an imposter.

If Dockers finish 18th next year, Hogan walks into the draft and we get nothing.

Thank f*** for the Suns & Blues.

They also lose a pick one when they could have had both.  

Their attitude is bizarre- “A bird in the hand...”

Comfort food while waiting impatiently for Freo to come into the real world.

Yep, perfect way to pass the time. Especially given that there will not be any more updates at this time of the night, just rehashings of what we already don't know haha

It's like a delicious ad break before we get back to the show tomorrow.

Hogan IS NOT A FREE AGENT NEXT YEAR 

sorry to shout, but haven’t we gone through that several thousand times?

I never said he was a free agent.

His MFC contract will run out at the end of 2019.

Any player can refuse to sign a contract extension and put themselves into the draft. 

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT'S WHAT PLAYERS DID BEFORE FREE AGENCY. THEY CAN STILL DO IT.

It is entirely possible the real situation is that Jesse wants to stay but doesn’t want to sign a long term deal yet whilst the club wants a long term deal for certainty thinking it’s better to take the pain now than in 2 years. If that is the case both sides have been honest. Jesse has had a rough trot and probably not sure what he wants in a few years thus told the club he doesn’t want to commit for 4 years whilst the club has said that’s what they want.  We should be slow to suggest a lack of candour. 

Seems unlikely to me. Touring Freo's change rooms was an aggressive move by Jesse. He wants to go. He's past the point of negotiating contracts with Melbourne. I mean hopefully he has a change of heart if he stays another season, but the narrative has changed suddenly surrounding him and I'm more willing to believe he has shocked the club with his desire to depart vs they knew all along and were just BS'ing the media and supporters.

I've gone from being angry at Freos bullshttery to absolutely gleeful thinking of going over to Perth next year and watching us wipe the floor with Fremantle.

They won't get Jesse, Lachie will walk out and an 180 point defeat at the hands of the Dees will trigger Peter Bell's sacking midway through the season :D

They did, and they also used to be bigger.

Everything is getting so goddamn small these days. 

Remember in the 'old days' where you could actually get your hand inside a Pringles tube?  Now only a little kid could do it, and I have to shake the [censored] out!  ?

Honestly,  if that is what is happening then the simple solution is "hogan signs a 3 year extension that gives us the comfort we need.  The extension is on megabucks anyway, so he has surety as well.  We have agood natured, open chat about him,  his family etc. and how we understand the situation and that if it comes to pass next year or the year after he decides to leave we won't carry on and play hard ball or force him tti stay off he needs to be home, but we'll trade him to the WA team that offers the best deal for us, assuming it is reasonable market rate."

That isn't a compromise for either party,  it's a win-win: we get him in our episode the next few years, we get certainty to protect our asset value, he gets great money,  a chance to win a flag in the next year's but if he wants to trade he gets it or at the end of his next contract he's a FA anyway.

 

And that tells me,  that isn't the driving force.  Either he wants to go now and we've said "not unless we get a great deal" or "sign long term or leave" or "nothing personal, but if you are open to moving we believe we can improve our list by trading you due to your high value"

Dark chocolate royals are fantastic (and highly underrated)!  And you can't go wrong with the classic Tim Tam! 

Royals are surely not for dunking, and one even needs to handle a Tim Tam cautiously in the dunking content.

Holding on too long, rather like Freo with the Jesse deal, can result in it all crumbling and ending up with nothing g.

Timing is so important in both these endeavors.  I usually get it right with Tim Tams, but Freo seem destined to have it all melt away from holding on too long.

I stick em in the freezer and then proceed to walk back and forth to the kitchen every 30 minutes for one!

Do you think that walking back and forth will be enough excercise to offset the sugar penalty?

Yes. It's possible to be on the bottom of the ladder, and handle a situation well. It's also possible to be 2nd on the ladder and handle a players last year poorly, Look at Adelaide with Lever. You think it will be unprofessional like that? Players rumoured to have been ignoring him, half time grand final arguments and the club not inviting him to b& f.

Perhaps, but we are talking about Carlton

The TimTam is perfect when opposite corners are slightly bitten off and then the remaining biscuit is used as a straw to sip your coffee... before shoving the whole remaining chocolatey/coffee taste sensation into your mouth ?

I never said we were, the offer that was sent through smacked of Peter Bell, the arrogant turd he is.

Perhaps. It could also smack of Freo being not as into Hogan as everyone thinks they are ... could be the salary, could be concerns about the foot, could be ... well, anything. Perhaps from their side, they're just not that desperate.

    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
