    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.

Jesse Hogan WOW!

I don't see how I've criticise anybody? I simply said " do we have to smash hogan with expectations" you started to knock me..... I didn't target anybody with my opinion......

I'm not unhappy about the way supporters have hyped up hogan, I just don't think it's necessary.... I doubt that anything I say on here will stop the hyper bowl......

Maybe I could be seen as targeting cowboy from hell..... but I was just trying to get under his skin, so he can give me smacks.....again.....lol....

It's still the off season so i'm still a happy chappy and you seem to be in good spirits aswell. I think we are both warming up though. I understand what you are saying about the expectations of Hogan but I can't help it. I'll scream at the top of a mountain how he will dominate the league while tiger supporters sit at the bottom of the mountain salivating over Petterd and Knights.

It was an impressive debut. But Barry Predergast will tell you he's no Lucas Cook.

Like I've said before to others in the past, be more accountable then. Direct your post to a good example of what you call 'hyper bowl', there's been hundreds voice their excitement and the likes of you and C&B tell everyone to settle down by throwing a "do we have to smash his expectations" hand grenade.

I'm very happy with Hogan. And if I liken his swagger and his leading to a J.Brown, who gives a fcuk? Who are you to tell others "c'mon it's only one game!" Based on characteristics (which of there has been many) which are comparable.

In the game day thread I was one who threw the lid open because I know what I've seen of him in the lead up and on the night.

Very easy to say "it's only one game"...harder to establish what you've got.

i'am in good spirits.... Must be losing my touch....

It wasn't my intention to get you on the hogan thing.....HT took to that one.....geez...... I through in the tanking comment for you, but its getting a bit old.... I might have to come up with something else..... I've got six months....

P.S would be bloody great if Hogan turns out to be the champion that we all hoped for....

I'm sure we will find something to lock horns over in the next few months and I look forward to it. At least you are willing to criticize but not be shocked when someone disagrees.

this whole thread is the Hyper bowl..... I don't mind if people make comparisons..... And I understand the joy.... I'm feeling it as well...

I just don't like the idea of pumping up a player to heights they may not reach..... It sends out the wrong message.... And supporters feel let down when these hyped up players don't make it to the hyped up level.....lol.... I think your taking what I wrote to personal.... Surely I'm allow to comment.... IT WAS ONLY ONE GAME!!! Get over it....

This is a tad self-indulgent, but I posted the following on August 23 last year:

"I really rate Hogan. He's aggressive, imposing, has courage in the air, contests really well, splits packs, loves body contact and when we're starting to make inroads he and Clark will form a formidable forward-line. I can wait a year to get a player like him on our list. He's similar to Hurley, but moves like a midfielder and is a better mark. How many other quality 193cm key forwards of this type can you currently name in the AFL ? They're as rare as hen's teeth. He's a taller version of Jack Darling. An ordinary footballer like Cam Mooney ended up being a valuable contributor in premiership teams and kicked 67 goals one year. He didn't have a quarter of the talent of Hogan. We're desperate for another key forward and Hogan would be a 10 year fixture."

I made those remarks before I knew he'd end up at Melbourne. I then saw him at training over pre-season. I then get a glimpse of him at Casey during the intra-club. I then see him last Friday night during the NAB Cup and he's everything I expected and displayed the same traits we saw in the under 18 championships. You and some others can take all of the time you like, which is fair enough, but I'm kind of warm and gooey inside, because we've landed a future freaking thooopastar. I've never seen a more obvious star in my life.

I remember you pushing for Hogan all through the pre draft period and I had the one misgiving that he had yet to play against men, it's one reason I was pushing for Toumpas (couldn't believe it when we were able to pick him up at 4). You always believed then he would have no problem stepping up to senior company and I've seen nothing to say that won't be the case.

Forget Carey and forget the Ox, I see him as having the physical attributes and aggression of one "Plugger"...and that's something you won't hear me complaining about.

I am sure that everyone most here would take any of those in a flash

I think we'd find a way of coping.

Again.

And I'm touched that you care.

Is it just me, or have the Dees been in the media literally ten times more this year than at any other time in the last 15? Not just Caro's attacks, either, trade week, Viney, Hogan, free agency (both in and out), Casey relationship, the list goes on. I don't think we've received this much publicity in decades!

I dont agree we need to play Hogan this year..

Most successful teams stop turning over their B players once they get a few A+ players going through together. Jesse Viney and Toumpas may be A+

They make the best of them knowing some B players will be worth a spot in the ones at 26-29 when the team meshes behind the stars.

I would prefer to keep Jesse on ice for a year now as we may need his very best years to be starting 3 years away. Not 2.

Breretons best years were fading before he was 28.

Yeah I agree and in this day and age - any publicity is good publicity.. Seems to work for Mundine.

Now that the tanking saga is over - and we don't have to worry about Jurrah's antics, I'd hope we see more positive publicity and Hogan, Viney and Toumpas would be a good start, I think Viney and Toumpas will have great years, then we have Hogan next year with another top liner, we are extremely well placed going forward.

We are probably lucky that Scully did go to GWS as the tanking that was alledged to of happened - has yet to reap rewards.

But after Hogan, Viney, Toumpas start dominating in years to come, the issue will be raised, so thankfully this investigation happened now than later IMO.

WTF is a hyper bowl?

You take a bag full of exaggeration, throw in a pinch of rhetoric and a dash of figerospeech, mix them all up in the Hyper Bowl, pour into a lined cake tin, refrigerate (or overheat) for 30 minutes and voila!... you have the perfect slice of hyperbole. Edited by hardtack

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
