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.

Worked his backside off all night and finished with 20 disposals 12 marks 5 tackles 4 goals 1 behind - couldn't ask for a more well-rounded game from a CHF. 

And their was no sulking and he made more 'second efforts'.  Showing growth and maturity as a 'team' player.

Loved the 'Shirley Bassey' type move where a gentle flick of his hips nudged his op (Dawson?) out of the contest to take an easy mark!

He needs 22 goals in 7 games to hit 60 for the season.What hes already done is amazing, but to hit 60 would be something else for a 21 year old key forward,  who is already the main man and is sent the oppositions #1 key defender each week. 

We have a superstar on our hands.

That bump on Dawson was hilarious. It was like playing on a cardboard cut out.

What made it so easy though, was that Jesse had worked Dawson so bloody hard he could hardly breathe, so had nothing left to give. Our boy is getting smarter about how to play the game all the time

LOL, bb

My high school end of year bash was at the Espy with Shirley Bassey the star performer.  She called for a volunteer to sit on the stool next to her while she sang 'Big Spender'.  One of my class mates obliged. When she did her hip flick, he and the stool went flying.  It was hysterical and to this day gives me a great laugh.

Dawson went flying last night, just as easily as my inebriated class mate.  Dawson was equally hysterical!!

Thought I'd bump this thread now that Jesse is committed and we're beginning to see positive articles in the media like this one.

These comments in particular warmed the cockles of my heart;

"Being away from family and friends was something I was going to have to sacrifice, but in the end it's worth it," he said.

"We're building something special at this club and if I was to potentially leave and to miss that and watch these boys achieve whatever they achieve ... it would be pretty hard for me to watch."

Really great signs. I'm generally not one to remind posters who make what i consider to be completely wrong player assessments but geez i'll be tempted to do so to those posters who made comments before he re-signed along the lines of him being over rated, we can cover him, he is too one dimensional (really?), he's good but not great  etc etc.

I say again the last player to come tor Melbourne with comparable talent and impact was David Schwarz pre knee injuries.  If he can avoid injury i have no doubt whatsoever he will be our first superstar since Flower. 

And what is exciting is that i don't think the Trac is far behind.

Poised to have a massive year. I've heard he has done so much work to develop his tank. This will not only allow him to lead for longer, but also improve his set shots being less fatigued.

There was one short comment somewhere that his run up stutter has changed a bit.

Have you had a chance to watch his set shot routine? Can you or anyone else comment on the efficiency of any change?

I have been watching some of the highlights from this season on utube- one thing I noticed was the affinity between Hoges and Jack Watts. They feed each other and seem to know where the other is going. It's also obvious they are great mates. Lip-smackingly good.

I loved watching that last year. It happened in the first game of the year against GC where Watts brought Hogan into the game in the last quarter and they both got us the win.

Watts is as good as kick to a leading forward as there is in a game. I rewatched the final 10 minutes vs Hawthorn last week, Watts' kicking to a leading forward is near on perfect. Low, fast and cuts the angles beautifully. He also allows the forward to come meet the ball which a lot of AFL players haven't mastered and makes it much harder for defenders to intercept the ball.

Hogan can also drag a defender out of the space when they both find themselves deep to allow Watts a mismatch as he often finds himself on smaller opponents for minutes at a time. Great dynamic between the 2.

He was damn good before being drafted. Running was seen as one of his great strengths. It it has improved by any stretch, he will harder to match up on than Riewoldt.

Bump!

For the reason, that watching Roughy tonight, reminds me of Jesse as a player. Not a dominant lead up forward but certainly has that capability, mobile and cat like at marking contest, can roam long and wide up the ground and can definitely go through the gutz when needed.

Looking forward to Hoges hitting the scoreboard again this weekend.

Nice comparison, reads the ball as well in the air as Rough, that's for sure, if he has four premierships by the time he's 28 I'll be a super happy little Demon

20 goals in 4 career games vs the Lions.  Thats good for 5 goals per game.

Melbourne 4-0 in those games.

Damn it feels good to have a superstar key forward again.  Will kick 60+ goals this season, injury permitting.  He has serious competition for an AA guernsey but he can get there.

    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
