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.


WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JESSE HOGAN

Demonland got their man. We have been "asking" for a big tall fwd from this trade/drfta period and from the Under 18 champs, he was the standout.

Jesse Hogan is a big forward in the Neitz or Schwartz mould. Has the size and strength to build on.

I agree we should not put any pressure on the kid. Still Jumper #31 is free, #18 available and most likely #6 ...I think number 18 sits well (IMO)

I think Jack Viney for jumper no. 1 ... next to Jonesy !!!!!

How some have soured on this deal to the extent they don't think we should have been in the MD at all.

What crap.

This kid is going to be a star and I don't care that 13 turned into 20 - we would have got Dawes with the pick anyway.

We need stars and the kid above will be just that.

Can we afford to feed him?

He'll probably be about 80kg when he debuts.

Go and put $100 on Hogan for the 2014 rising star.

Monty.

Dun Deel .

oops that's the Derby.

Have you heard what family he will be boarding with?

Wouldn't be the Vineys would it?

Am I correct in thinking he is eligible for NAB cup matches next year?

He should be, O'Meara was for the Suns so I assume the same rules apply.

Required a special ruling from the AFL to allow O'Meara and Crouch the ability to play NAB Cup/Challenge.

You'd assume we'd be afforded the same ruling.

Stupid these kids can't play next year. Hogan has finished school. They're only 4 months younger than the others

Will be 18 by time season starts and are allowed to train with club all year and play with men in vfl.

If they're up to it let them play

Why does the age rule apply? Is it some kind of duty of care thing to do with minors getting injured or being employed on a fulltime basis?

If that was the case he would be in the draft and we may not have got him anyhow.

Know all that, but it just seems to me to be cruel with a guy like hogan who has to cool his heels for 12 months when he may be good enough to go

He'll be 18 and Watson was playing at 16

Know it isn't going to change but just annoying

From The Lions Share on AFL site- a great read as a whole to get insight and perspective and a fair link with Melbourne trades but this excerpt is enough to give even the most pessimistic Demon a little glimmer for 2014-

The key forward

Jesse Hogan

Prior to the trade period we had determined that if we could not bring Tippett into the club, we would seriously pursue Jesse Hogan via the 17-year-old mini draft.

Jesse, who played centre half-forward for Claremont under 18’s and Western Australia, was identified by our WA scouts very early in the year and we followed him closely throughout, both before and after the Under 18 championships.

We had met with and interviewed Jesse in WA and through our discussions he had become quite happy with the idea of coming to Brisbane next year and learning his craft under the tutelage of Jonathan Brown.

We had offered our pick No.8 to GWS prior to the trade period in order to keep us in the race. In fact we were growing quietly confident that we may well land Jesse as we had made the most prominent bid in the early stages.

However, when Jack Viney was not bid on in the father/son bidding process, we felt that hurt our prospects as it left Melbourne with picks three and four to trump us. We understood that the Bulldogs preferred Jack Martin, while Port Adelaide had expressed no interest in Jesse.

Once Jesse tested so well at the NAB AFL Draft Combine in the shuttle run we knew we were likely to be trumped. In anticipation of that we offered pick 8 and 24 - but the next day Jesse ran an exceptional 3km time trial for a boy of his size.

While his football talent had been clear to us, the combine emphasised his work rate and determination. That display certainly seemed to be enough to prompt Melbourne to offer their pick three and 13 (which later became 14) and our hopes of bringing Jesse to Brisbane were dashed. Nevertheless we wish him well in his AFL career.

Isn't this banned...draft tampering?

Hogan finished on 24 possessions, 10 marks, 19 kicks and 4 goals, plus 136 DT points.

As for not having the same physical advantage at AFL level ? He's not a slow bullocking key forward that is rag dolling skinny kids. He's a big agile aggressive key forward with excellent pace, who can also go into the midfield. His traits translate anywhere.

He's a gun and we must get him. Whatever it takes.

Has anyone ever said that you're a very smart man ?

    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
