  • 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.

So would I, but my first offer would be 6

Haha, fair enough.

I just wouldn't play around with him. I wouldn't try to low ball him, I'd just offer him the bigger deal. Each to their own, I guess.

Just imagine the player Hogan will be with a competent midfielder feeding him. Could be the next 80+ goalkicker.

Correction: competent midfield (plural)

Bryce Gibbs having a sook on twitter about the rising star. LOL

Jesse would eat this softcck alive.

Did you see Cartlon Twitter handler message the AFL when Hogan won saying "You got your wish".... Whoever runs the social media team down their at Carlton are arrogant twats... Not only do their marketing department come up with ridiculous and self-indulging campaigns like "Can you smell what the blues are cooking" and "They know we're coming" But I also remember a few years ago when one of their players didn't get a rising star nomination, and they took it to Twitter to vent their frustration as well..

Can some one link then, I couldn't see them on carltons Twitter.

Was it the official Carlton Twitter?

Had a look at their Twitter handle and couldn't find anything other than congrats to him and Jesse, although they might've deleted the tweet.

I think most people agreed that whoever won, Cripps or Hogan, they both had amazing years. Cripps will be a star, Hogan will be a star.

EDIT: Gibbs you are a [censored], but I agree it's a joke. It was a joke the it took until round 9 before Jesse finally got nominated. But the other joke is that Cripps and Hogan will both be better than anything you could hope for. Idiot.

Hilarious coming from the softest player in the AFL. [censored] Gibbs, show some class.

Didn't he kick up a stink when a former player tweeted about him laying a tackle (for the sling tackle on Gray)?

Lol yeah I remember that.

I think Titus O'Reilly had some great tweets on it as well.

Good times.

Simply sensational. Congratulations to him and all at the club who busted their butts to try and improve over the year and get plenty of ball to our Rising Star. We may not be consistently good at delivery i50 compared to the higher ranked clubs...yet.

But we must have done something right! Most likely our conversion rate as we ranked a lowly 16th in both i50s and marks i50. Oh hang on....the Hulk! Ranked 6th of all current day players (and 13th vs all players past and present day from 1965 till now!) in goal kicking conversion with a whopping 69.84%! That's just above the greatest FF of all time, plugger, who finished on an amazing 69.74% in 16th place :blink:(rankings based on players who had, or have had, a minimum 50 scoring shots at goal throughout their career. Courtesy: afltables.com)

Lets hope we can build some momentum out of this positive news and finally start stringing a few wins in a row together next year. Watching the Hulks progress is gonna be interesting. 2nd year is usually the toughest for most new blokes. Fingers crossed.

This was his second year...which means next year he's going to be truly awesome.

There's arguments for both players to have won the award, but it was all but unanimous - Hogan 49 votes from a possible 50.

Highest ever polling in the award, I think?

Correct. Although they haven't always had ten judges awarding votes.

Where can I find all his post winning interviews, missed most of them.

From what I read here, Jesse admires the ability of his team mates to go when it's their turn and to put their head over the ball- congratulating Brayshaw and Viney for these traits. It's clear that Jesse wants to play in a team of competitive hard-arses. If you don't put in, and give it 100, you are at risk of being dropped from Jesse's team.

Culture changer. Most important recruit in my life time, thanks god we got our house in order just in time for the arrival of Christ.

Lastly thanks Neeldy- who would have thought it would be one of your moves that would bring this club back into relevancy? (And thanks Scully)

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
