    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.

however....the press conference was at AAMI and the stage was on a north/south positioning with Jesse facing east/west - if his left eye moved but right eye didn't by my reckoning he is off to play for the Doveton Eagles.

No one seems to have noticed Jesse's tapping of his fingers on the desktop? It was clearly morse code, and to these old ears when decoded it was "I'm gone" repeated over and over. Also, if you play the club song backwards at 53.8rpm, "Jesse's off to Freo" can be heard over the general static.

Can I give a view from a PR perspective. I think it was quite smart of the club to trot JH out at this stage.  1. he had a poor last NAB cup game and needed

I played club song backwards and all I got was a good omen that we were going to thump the Power. I heard "I bury Port".

Even if true and JH has invested in real estate in WA, this really means little.  I have an investment property on the Gold Coast, but I aint moving there.  No doubt, Jesse will go home at some point and it would be nice if he had a home to move into ............ wouldn't it?

"The mail" on Jesse Hogan: http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/brad-hardie-west-coast-and-fremantle-in-2016-and-the-future-of-jesse-hogan-20160321-gnnyui.html

"The mail" only goes every second day and costs more.

"The mail" isn't what it used to be.

...

How many times have you heard "mail" like this that has turned out to be 180 degrees wrong? There aren't enough hands in Australia to count on the fingers.

Yep, my favourite was when one commentator (Mark Ricciuto I think?) was declaring with supreme confidence that Simon Goodwin would be the new Crows coach, whilst Goodwin himself was holding a press conference at that very same moment announcing his deal with us.

What rubbish, Jesse and his manager have both publicly expressed his loyalty to the MFC, and a preference to stay in Melbourne the city, i have said it for a while now, teams like Collingwood and Hawthorn are a bigger threat then teams like Fremantle, but i believe very strongly that Jesse is waiting for the new deal thingy to work itself out before committing again

I will get torn to strips for this but here is a couple of quotes for you

"I love the club, I love all my teammates and I just want to be a part of the future at the footy club."

‘I’d love to end my career and say I was a one club player, and anticipate that will be the case,’’

His manager " You should be optimistic about him staying with Melbourne"

I am not comparing Jesse in any way shape or form to the lying little weasel ( and his manager)  that uttered those words but as far as I am concerned any expressions of love and loyalty by players and their managers is just fluff. I see no reason for Hogan to do anything right now with two years to run on his contract (other than play good football) . As much as I believe that Hogan could be a one in generation type footballer and we need to sign him, he will get the world thrown at him. It is completely out of our ( the supporters ) control but I also believe the club is in a good place and moving forward  - we need to keep rising up the ladder to give another good reason to why he would be silly to go elsewhere.

However I have been burned before by "loyal" players and as far as I am concerned I will enjoy the Hogan on field ride and his contract will be taken care of one way or another.

Yeah I have to admit the fluff that comes from players about loving a club and wanting to be a one club player is just that....fluff. Having said that, it's frustrating that this is going to drag even longer than any other contract issue BECAUSE HE'S GOT 2 SEASON LEFT! It makes perfect sense one way or another that he would wait until after the new CBA, who knows what it's going to mean for the players?

It sucks for us, we want to know he's signed and secure for a long time at the club but we're going to have to suck it up. The main frustration is that just about every article that features Jesse in it will have some kind of line of "Jesse Hogan, who chose to put off contract talks until the end of the season" placed smack bang in the middle. He's the most talked about player who's played 20 games FFS! It's a damn shame we can't just let him play footy!

The West Australian said he was also enjoying playing alongside close friends Harmes and Jesse Hogan.

“A lot of us are really good mates anyway but being out on the field together we can help one another out,” Kent said.

“It’s just an exciting time for the club, we’ve got a lot of young guys stepping up and I just can’t wait for round one."

Who gives a stuff? This kid's not Scully and the circumstances are completely different. Hogan can't just up and leave, there'd have to be a trade worked for him and I can't imagine what we would expect in return. I reckon he's ours for the next 4 years at least and if we're any good he'll stick around after that.

Not saying Hogan will leave.....

What's the point of having a draft system/salary cap as an equalisation to a so called competition, if clubs who finish near the bottom which happens when you have 18 teams only to see talented kids leave after 3 seasons.. Compensation is another early pick which is a lottery .. 

Football the world game allows you to profit from selling talent & then buying other players.. ..... 

Afl you can't have it both ways!

    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
