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.


The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

Just watching the WA after footy program with the usual muppets which includes Adrian Barrett (such a girls name) talk about Hogan. Asked if someone like Lachie Neal would be sufficient compensation to get Hogan back to Freo, they said no - no chance.

I'm sorry but neal............HA. There is no-one on Freo's list that would be deemed as sufficient compensation. But that's not having a go at Freo or their list, because i believe that no player from any team's list would be deemed as sufficient compensation.

Not even a fully fit Gary Ablett would be enough to tempt me................far from it.

To trade for Hogan the minimum I would want is 2 top 5 picks or a very good player, If we are talking about Freo it's Fyfe. I have an unusual feeling as a Melbourne supporter but I think Jesse is going to stay with us!

Would anyone here trade Hogan for Fyfe?

Put 50 on the dees at 4$ hulk hogan is a gun and will be for a long time, he has some special traits to him, I put Brayshaw in the same bracket as him.

Hogan & Brayshaw our future

Totally and absolutely disagree ...

... because from tonight's performance you've got to include VandenBerg, Salem, Michie & Newton as our future too. And Kent and Viney. And we haven't even seen Petracca yet.

Hogan is not that big, Matthew Richardson was towering over him during an on field interview, the commentators mentioned it as well, 195cm is way overstated.

But he plays much taller, takes marks at full stretch, he has the complete package. Attacks the ball like Jonathon Brown and strut, has the agility of Nick Riewoldt,

Richo is 198cm so of course he looks like he has that bit of extra height..

Thanks Neeldy. You did something right.

I for one would be absolutely devastated if Hogan is around in 10 years at our club. Freo WC stay away.

The good thing is the media are finally talking about an exciting player from our club.

Hogan was hardly modelling good posture during that interview.

Was slouching and swaying all over the place.

Richo, like all former player/commentators was standing bolt-upright and sucking it in.

That has a lot to do with wide lens distortion and camera angles. Those interviews always position the camera closer and to the right of the interviewer. They use a wide angle lens which makes the closer subject look far bigger than the one slightly further away. If the camera was positioned in front of Hogan's left side the percepted size diferential will be reversed making Hogan look bigger.

I don't think any of us actually thought he would come in and be this good, my phone has been going crazy from mates all talking about Hogan.

have a look at bigfooty. They're all going crazy over him (except Western Bulldogs supporters...cause they have Tom Boyd, who will be better apparently).\

\

Also, no clubs supporters hate us more than Western Bulldogs. Why is that?

Hogan's aura was lifting Richo off the ground by a good 6 inches... Just like he does for my aura.

Hogan at one end, McDonald at the other. Fingers crossed the bookends are sorted for the next 8 years. Both could be in the best few key forwards/defenders in the comp. So happy to know they will continue to be developed properly with Roos, Goodwin, McCartney.

Bruce's "Hogan launches himself and takes a beauuuuuty" was just perfect.

He is 195, I met him last season and he was much taller than my 186 (9cm taller in fact).

Richo is 197 but he looks taller because he wears high heels.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
