  • 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.

Don't any of you simpletons remember who was "most efficacious" ?

No. I forgot all about it while pondering the difference between a simile and a metaphor ... :-)

If this happened after the cats game why did they wait till today to have scans?

While some will say yet another example of MFC incompetence, how about:

sore back, not getting better, better have a closer look, scan.....

Dank &Co, with their medicinal compounds, were aspiring to so be.

So all in all I was dead on in my analysis. DB heard that the kid was in for scans and slapped the worst possible interpretation on it to make it into news. The reality is that he has a fairly minor back complaint and is light duties until it comes good. So sayeth The Club.

Is this DB's first fail of the year?

Cause you don't go booking expensive MRI's after every player has a bit of a sore back from copping a knee into it. You let him rest and wait a few days and then if it doesn't settle you get a scan. It's not like he hasn't been able to walk, he's just had some persistent soreness.

Not that I'm sticking up for DB, but he said Hogan had back issues and would most likely miss the start of the season. Hogan has back issues and will most likely miss the start of the season.

Expensive MRI, I have just had one it was $200 smackers.

Not sure if they charge more for footy clubs but $200 ain't earth shattering tm.

Take your point on waiting a few days though.

Little else to offer, they look graceful when flying, hunt fish and can float.

Much more to offer than Barrett I would say.

I had one on my ankle two days ago at the Epworth in Richmond. $540. So still not cheap

Our club must be cursed!! Everything that could have conceivably gone wrong over the last 3 years has. When will we get some luck?

Was really looking forward to Hogan's debut, with the injury he has sustained this could be weeks to months away.

when we somehow lift the norm smith curse lol

What worries me is that if I remember correctly, we haven't signed Jesse for 2015 yet. (Someone please tell me I'm wrong)

If that's the case, and he has a frustrating, injury riddled season this year, it will diminish our chances of securing him.

If, however, he plays well in a promising team, he is less likely to get homesick.

Right. I get it that we all hate the guy, but at least use facts otherwise you're the same as him.

I'm not repeating what is contained in the first few pages of this thread.

Amazing how many of you turn so quickly from frothing at the mouth, dying to see Hogan play to 'oh, we weren't really going to see him much this year anyway'.

Seriously, just admit you're as [censored] off as the rest of us that he won't be running out in Round 1 and save us all this 'that's just footy' rubbish.

lol, no... its called pulling your head in and being realistic - instead of expecting this 18 year old kid to play 24 games and take out the coleman.

you will see him around round 3-4.

it will be fine.

You're wrong. As he was ineligible to play in his first year due to the mini draft status he's signed for next year as well. Ideally we get him extended by the end of the year so we don't go through Frawley all over again with Hogan. But this injury shouldn't stop him from getting a run of games at some stage. I hope his agent advises him if he's happy in Melbourne it's better for his footy to just sign on and not have to deal with contract speculation as a 20 year old key forward next year.

    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
