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.

GNF has gotten is wrong too many times for me to get excited over a 6 month prediction....

I mean he's also gotten some things very right but it doesn't suit your point to mention that.

I've always thought he'd stay, because it just makes sense.  However, your assertion that it 'could' take 6 months is the comment that doesn't make sense.  There's no reason that I can fathom why it would take that long.

Agreed. Just that there's still some water to flow under the bridge, but that it's more than likely he'll stay. So if he's told the club he's re-signing it's unlikely he'll request a trade. We're not actually that much further along than we were before GNF's post.

I would suspect that the recent re-signing especially from Watts would have helped. There does seem to be an attitude of belief at the club these days, and Goodwin is very popular. Well done Jackson and Roos - whether he signs or not.

You watch. Have a feeling this is going to be a big off season for once. We'll have all our best players signed up and we'll land that big fish we've been talking about for two years.

He also said that Dion Prestia is a certainty this year. Although that rumour hasn't been proven false as of yet, it's getting there.

That'll happen. As will Hogan's re-signing, but Hogan also said he was ready to sign last year and then that he was waiting for the CBA. So this really hasn't come much further, just an educated guess.

Didn't Hogan say in his most recent interview he'd like to get things sorted sooner rather than later. Most on here took the negative that it meant nothing. Well just maybe he was alluding to something poitive

Have no opinion of GNF or anyone.  Simply saying someone is playing the probabilities and applying some logic ie:

  • All involved have consistently said JH will stay and JH wants to wait for CBA. 
  • CBA now known to Clubs so reasonable to conclude JH willing to re- sign.
  • JH wants to avoid last years Jan/Feb fiasco around his contract
  • Therefore, reasonable to conclude JH will re-sign within 6 months.

It 'makes sense', right? 

Most of us on here have believed the club and that Jesse will resign when the CBA is known.  Tbh I think Jesse will sign before trade period starts (2 months).  Do I have a source? 

No.  Logically, it just 'makes sense' as the club needs to know what it can offer incoming trade players and current OOC players, to manage its salary cap. 

Anyone can make educated guesses!

Agree. If Hogan has agreed to re-commit, his signature asap is important for 2 reasons:

1. It's a massive endorsement of the club and a huge selling point if we're trying to lure players to the club

2. The club knows how much cap space it will have to re-sign players like T. Mac or lure a big fish like Hurley.

Putting off signing for 6 months actually hurts the club.

Agree, if it happens it should happen during finals or pre draft period. It will be difficult and a hinderance  to the club in planning the pre-season as well as managing trades and offers with ongoing uncertainty about his future.

as GNF said, you're entitled to your belief, he has made some calls a long way out that have proven 100% correct and for me that gives him credibility.

but as i said, each person is entitled to read or not, i don't see anything productive coming from you getting on here writing how his sources are rubbish, if you don't rate them, simply don't read it.

i am 100% certain there will still be many posters who appreciate what he says regardless of what you post.

Each to their own Abe but what calls has he exactly made 'from a long way out' that was true?? And dont say the Paul Roos saga.. Media experts were already drumming up for Roos as soon as the Essendon debacle it went from then on throughout the year. GNF went along with it and claimed it from there.

Actually curious to see a list of things he has gotten right over the years as you mentioned.

This is something I would believe, not the least bit surprised. 

Kenny Buzzins must be partly to blame.

I'm an atheist. I only believe in things that exist or I have factual evidence to be true.

I'm an atheist too, and I am unsure how that precludes me from being confident Hogan will sign. There's nothing wrong with a bit of crystal ball gazing mo, it's fun. Give it a go sometime.

No point really, you'll argue each point i make and it's not really worth the effort

i rate his posts, you don't, pretty simple really.

So? that's not my fault.

 

It sorta is your fault - you go on the attack every time. I'm in your camp and I reckon LH has nailed it; GNF just plays the odds, but I think we should just drop it. If people want to back him and pin their hopes on him, let them. It's all just in good fun I reckon.

Yep, I reckon GNF is having a good laugh...

    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
