    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.

BOOM Melbourne youngster Jesse Hogan has not given up hope of making his highly-anticipated AFL debut this year, despite being placed on the Demon’s long-term injury list.

The power forward broke down with stress fractures in his back on the eve of Round 1 and suffered a setback last month when he tried to resume training.

But Hogan, 19, is expected to see a specialist this week and when given the all-clear will start running again.

Hogan is fresh from two weeks at home in Perth and could be get a start around Round 17 or 18.

But the Dees will maintain their ultraconservative approach on the man they secured through the 2012 mini-draft and are confident once fit again the issue will no longer plague him.

It is believed Hogan is fighting stress reactions in more than one bone in his lower back, a condition which can affect fast bowlers in cricket.

Hogan won the Casey Scorpions’ best-and-fairest last year, booting 39.21 from 15 appearances for the Dees’ VFL affiliate.

He played one NAB Challenge match — against Geelong in Alice Springs — which is where his back injury originated.

As I have posted on here before my best mate is good friends with Jesse, she just told me he has had a really good running week, no pain or discomfort, that will be stepped up and the club feels he ca

I am beginning to worry about Hogan the kid is 19 and the combination of living away from home and then not being able do the whole thing his life is built around must be a big strain.

I hope we are close to this kid.

Now I have no idea on his mental situation but after Clark I am concerned.

Maybe I am just a Dees supporter who from past experience sees the worst.

Is it just me? does anyone agree?

I'm quite the opposite OD, I'm worried he's going to hurt himself or someone else, such will be his enthusiasm at playing his first game.

He's spent the last year and half getting ready to be released onto an AFL field in Red and Blue.

Bring it on!

Hope so anyway.

Are we going to go through this every time a player is injured for more than a couple of months?

Depression isn't contagious.

I think it is your 4th line - he's a kid who wants to play footy. He has a sore back.

The rest is what we read into it.

Nothing to add to the thread machsy?

He's a kid who has an injury, let's not start with the mental health thing everytime a player has, what's deemed, a long term injury.

I challenge that for no other reason than I have observed his running gait on more than one occasion and compared it to that of a pregnant cow.

I now ask Mr. Webber Physio of extraordinary talent to have a look at his gait and comment whether he may have other problems causing the back problem?

Perhaps an injury somewhere else in the leg or even one leg shorter than the other?

He's definitely got several risk factors which could lead to him suffering some kind of short-term depressive illness (young, long-term injury, unable to work/train/play, away from family/support networks) - that's not to say it will happen but to discount others concerns outright is pretty silly.

No more silly than raising them really. How does it help either way other than to feed the endemic pessimism on these forums? :-)

Well it is a discussion forum, I don't see it as pessimism to raise concerns/possibilities especially with our track record.

This is a serious question... what exactly is our track record wth career ending injuries (and if you want to add this in to the mix, associated depression)?

A short-term depressive illness? Honestly...

What's sillier than discounting it is speculating about it.

Short term depressive illness- perhaps cut the b/s and say "the kid might be sad and frustrated he can't get on the park". To shift it to 'illness' is harmful and ridiculous. He can feel sad without being ill. Sheesh!

If the concerns are based upon professional expertise on depression and a close knowledge of the case or individual, then they may be reasonable. If concern stems from distant speculation or some inclination that depression is contagious within the club or that we handled it poorly in the past, then they are certainly pretty silly.

The kid is living with Jack Viney... is there one other guy in the Dees list who you would prefer Jesse live with. You can count on Jack to have the personality, attitude and the passion for the club required to keep him interested.

His blind love for the club is sure to rub off.

I don't think he lives with Viney any more.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
