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

Playing hogan in defence would make no sense, before the injury this year he was out number 1 fwd. It also ignores the fact the Tmac would go back if anyone was going to, he would obviously be the superior choice given he has played most of career down there.

Whoever is report on this in media needs to check there sources and there common sense as someone is having them on.

Also ignores the fact I think dees will find a way to get May regardless.

FFS ... it was listed #13 !!!

#13 ICED VOVO

How exactly the pink fondant stays creamy and smooth in the packet is still a mystery. Either way, this icing, jam and coconut combo has our tastebuds singing.

I feel terrible. I didn’t even open the page but just went with hit feel that the Iced vovo had been overlooked. 

My apologies.

Peter bell and Fremantle are right on the edge of turning the certain signing of a big fish into yet another missed opportunity all due to a breathtaking level of arrogance. 

If this falls through it will not only make Fremantle the laughing stock of the Comp, it will cause huge bad blood between Jesse and freo given freo promised to offer that pick 5 or 6 at the trade table and so far have back flipped on that. 

Source Patches? 

Again, who says Freo promised this?

You also said Freo have gone cold on him and are not interested if I remember correctly. So is he staying or going?

That could be the word Freo feed out to the chooks... to try to make us blink.  But we need a power defender, and Hoges can play back.

On the other hand, they may be trying in concert with our people, to make the Lions cough...  over the Neale deal.

 

The point is,  its 2 x top 10 picks... or its 'No Deal' X

14/23 is an immaterial difference anyway. It’s the same outcome: the ability to get May, and a draft pick in the range that gives us a reasonable chance to draft a good player. The chance of getting a good player does not reduce very much at all between 14 and 23.

If the other pick was to be involved in an on-trade anyway, then it makes no difference at all if it was 14 or 23.

I’m confused about what’s confusing. Gist of post: pick 5 and 14, or 5 and 23 = not an enormous difference. Is that a bewildering proposition?

I think it is.  I've read the top 10-15 are strong this year but then it falls away.  If true then it could be a massive difference if we take it to the draft. 

Also, we may want to use a first round pick this year to enable us to trade again next year. 

Two potentially enormous ramifications for shaping our list.

Have been watching some highlights of our wins earlier in the year during that 6 game streak , seriously I think some of us forget too easily how good Jesse is and could potentially be next year. The emotional roller coaster of a 300+ trade thread and a positive finals series minus an injured Jesse seems to have diluted perceptions of his worth to the team 

If we lose him now the compo will need to be A+ , I’m still hoping that freo have [censored] up this trade and we get to keep him at least for one more year ! 

Heave ho offering Pick 11 was insulting

That list is trumped up garbage and the author should be ashamed of themselves. Tim Tams are so overrated. Great to see in 2018 we still fall for stupid marketing ploys and when was the last time you had Tim tams with your coffee for god’s sake? Oreos can stick it as well.

Honestly Anzacs and Mint Slice are probably the first good ones on the list, Tee Vee snacks aren’t bad but when I’m on my deathbed it’s safe to say with my last ounce of breath I won’t be uttering the line “I wish I had more Tee Vee snacks”.

Milk arrowroots, found in just about every council office tea room and visitors hall don’t feature until #30? And Scotch Finger my word! Fallen to #18 in the ‘Biscuit Draft’. If my scout/biscuit shopper went into a supermarket and chose Scotch Finger after 17 other biscuits they would be fired. 

I like to keep the peace on here but forget it. I’m ready to fight anyone on this, just try me.

Cant believe how little some posters know about biscuits.....

To rate Milk Arrowroots as worthy of being on that list says to me you couldn't pick a biscuit from a cupcake.

Seriously, im losing my faith in Melbourne supporters.

There was a time a man's word was sufficient , or a handshake.

Today CONTRACTS are hardly worth the paper. No one's going to get excited about a nod here...or there.

So true... this is where we arrived at... that the a person's word wasn't good enough, with the law involved...  and now written contracts aren't even worth the price of used toilet tissues.

 

When will the world start to spin back,,, wards_  or has it started, already ???

 Did you watch replays of our 8 games against the top 10 clubs where he kicked a paltry 9 goals, going missing in virtually all of them? 

Accurate perceptions are great but only if they actually are accurate.

Well I know this for a fact. But I’ll go with a source you’re more likely to believe. Jay Clark reported it from jesses manager. 

Why would you bother chasing a player like Jesse if you didn’t plan on giving up a top 5 pick. I mean they’d have to be amazingly delusional to think we’d just give our most talented player away.

I don't actually think the question of how Hogan goes against top sides has been answered yet. How did Weid go in that period while our midfield, defence and our coaches box were being crushed? He didn't play. But at the end of the year he got the opportunity and stepped up. Hogan never got that opportunity. It's only fair that he be assessed next year properly like Weid was, or not assessed at all.

Way too vague Patches.

Link? Actual quote? 

*You don’t give up pick 5 in a superdraft for Hogan ... A) Because you don’t value him that highly or B) You think you can get him on the cheap next year.

    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
