  • 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.

Jesse says 'we will take a 5/4 start to the season': http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-05-22/well-take-that-season-start-says-hogan

" Hogan said it was a genuinely positive start to the 2016 season for the club."  Have we exceeded his 'improvement' expectations?  One step close to getting his signature, perhaps:cool::wub:

His performances over the the last month seem to have quietened his detractors making for more enjoyable footy for him.  Signs are all positive.  The outline of the new CBA will be known in the next month or two.  So, hopefully if he is to sign he will before end of the season.

Yes MFC can only do what they are doing and that is have a strong, stable Club and keep winning games. One of my main concerns with Jesse is that when he started in the club his mentor and house mate was Mitch Clark and we all know what his thoughts were on loyalty and honesty...... Just hope those early days and any influence Mitch may have had on Jesse are all forgotten and he opens up negotiations soon  with the club.

NEEDS THE COACHING DEPT TO STRAIGHTEN THIS FLAW OUT!

I love your posts Picket.

They remind me that even when I think I'm stressing out with no reason, somebody is more of a deadest lunatic that goes off the handle and throws the toys out of the cot than I could ever be.  Bravo to you sir, you are an A grade nutter.

If I could lend you some meds I wouldn't, I'd poke you with a stick and give you new ammunition to worry you just so I can watch you go on....and on.....and on :)

and on.....and on.....and on.....

This from the latest article on Jesse:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/jesse-hogan-says-his-selfish-body-language-is-a-thing-of-the-past-after-advice-from-wayne-carey/news-story/05cbf93b33d99498568a84a12f13cc40

 

 
Melbourne’s forwards were noted for their selflessness in sharing goals on Saturday, with Hogan saying they will get better the longer they stay together.
 

And if he has fun in a winning side, why would he want to leave the Demons?

“We are starting to get that chemistry. Everyone gets a lick (of the ice cream). Jeffy (Garlett) probably handed off five or six goals and Harmsey (James Harmes) got on the end of three Joe-the-Gooses in the last quarter and it’s just fun to play,’’ he said.

“The longer we can remain together, the more fun it will be.”

When Scully, Ablett, Buddy left there clubs the entire football world was saying it was going to happen about 12 months before it did.

At the moment everyone is saying Hogan will stay, that's a good sign.

Haha that would be sweet!

Coming from WA I hear a lot of Freo supporters sure he is coming to them. It would just be great if he signed a contract extension that week and then came out and kicked a bag of 6 or 7.

Thinking this change of demeanour on the ground will soon reflect in a signature off it.

A certain person who works for Freo, is an expat Melburnian.  This person was in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago.  A friend of mine, who is a friend of this person, caught up for a drink.  This person, working for Freo, told my friend that Freo had "sealed" the deal.

My response to my friend?  You didn't need that second bottle of red and I will believe it, only when I see it.  My fingers remain firmly crossed.

How could this be possible? Still contracted until end of 2017. I believe entering contacts with contracted players is not legal. (Yes I remember voldemort) How valid is an agreement that is illegal? Has the MFC done a trade- NO, so 2018 would be the earliest he could return to WA and a lot can change before then. I'm calling this B U L L S H I T

Did he say whether that was likely to be at the end of this year or next?  IMO, if Hogan doesn't sign up by the end of this season, he's leaving. He'd understand that his early signature/contract is important for the club's list management and potential success, in addition to membership and sponsorship. If he wants success at Melbourne, he'll sign early.

Hmmm....Freo tanking  playing youngsters to improve their draft position to give to Melbourne (plus a quality player...Neale ?)  for Hogan. We bring on Weideman and Huelett as forwards next year and gain another quality mid....just saying....I hope Hogan stays, it's our turn at the top.

    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
