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 Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here

One of the best young talents in the league.

Perhaps other clubs might want a key forwarding WA.

Demons need to show the rewards available plying with a team of talent his own age ready to take the next step. Beating the Hawks was an indicator of potential. We have a solid list with even better younger talent coming on.

We need to offer a performance based contract that rewards his individual inputs factored with team success. The better the team results the better the membership and marketing income the better the reward. Base salary plus individual increments based on goals kicked or assisted, b&f votes, rating points (tackles possessions etc) factored by ladder position.

Get Jesse on board he is seriously good

Can't believe (yes I can it's demonland) people are saying a poorer second-half of the season means his mentally checked out? By that logic Viney's gone too??? He's a second year player who obviously tired and may have played hurt a little, that for me gives confidence that he wants to be out there for us even if not 100% to do so. 

Can't wait to see him with another full pre-season, plus I hope he evolves to be the leader of the forward line, while he commands the forward line at the moment due to being the bets player there, when he learn how to lead it and direct others we'll become significantly better and so will he. I loved the early season partnership with Watts, and think this will become huge if Weid joins them too.

Pretty much every club runs incentive based contracts, they all get a base wage then bonuses based on performance.

Lol, embarrassing for a power forward to be playing for free kicks like this.

This sums up my frustrations with him, he just needs to focus on doing the basics, leading, chasing, tackling. Needs to play a team game, it appears like all the media talk about him being the next big thing got to him as it did with Stringer.

Has been doing that all season, even in round one.  As with his wobbly goal kicking, defensive  efforts, etc, nothing much seems to have been done about it. Posters here  have brushed aside his deficiencies due to his age and experience. But fair enough, young players with deficiencies get to learn better ways in the seconds, He has been cut too much slack with no consequences  and poor attitude and NQR ways seem quite entrenched these days.

Idk whats more embarassing... Jesse's flop or Jeffy's miss...

But if Jesse hadn't staged he would have kept his feet and could have shepperded for Jeffy to have a better chance at goal. 

Jesse is far more valuable if he doesn't stage nor stop playing when he thinks he should get a free.  Its part of life for a power forward.  We need him to keep making second and third efforts.

Hopefully, staging is another thing that Jesse gets out of his game over the summer as it is happening too often.

after reports he told freo to go fish about a month ago, we decided he was ours, now we think that he's left because of some poor performances?

Only the dopes.  And they repeat it all the time, so it looks like more think that way than actually do.

The second half of the year fade out is telling for me. Suggests he's playing hurt, or mentally checked out of the club. I reckon it's the latter.

Agree, however, I hope we are wrong. He is the player that I cannot emotionally invest in. His second half of the year has been disappointing to say the least (for all the reasons already discussed). He really has the club over a barrel. The club will need to make a lump sum offer without conditions or incentive payments. Other clubs will just throw big bucks and a long-term deal without qualifications. If we don't meet or better any offers we will probably lose him. If we do lose him, the media will be critical of the Dees for not being able to keep him and cast a negative light on the club. There will be no standing ovation from the media hacks if we do keep him.

So the defender pulling the front of his jumper had nothing to do with getting him off balance, or did you prefer to ignore that to justify your post

Why don't we devote more anger to the reason why it seems this season Jesse doesn't seem to have been getting his due lot of free kicks when they are there.

Danaher is given everything, and last week it really stood out when he should have got a free kick, and he didn't. The stands erupted and barely minutes later ,things were evened up. I don't need to say how well Hawkins is looked after.

Hogan would have fallen over also if your 4 year was playing  on him and applied that jumper tug.

Saty - I'm no fan of the Hogan bashing that's going on these days, but let's be realistic.  If you watch the shirt pull from Bews it barely lasts a second and Hogan falls over as if he's been shot.  It's not a good look.  As LH said earlier, had he been doing the team thing he could have laid the shepherd and allowed Jeffy to goal.

So youre saying the defender slightly pulling Jesse toward him somehow made him fly the opposite way?

LOL this guy.

Jesse played for a free with soccer style theatrics  it was embarrassing. And you surely know that.

Unless you are actually either Bews or Hogan, nobody knows exactly what transpired, just because a young guy has not signed a contract, even though he has a year to run, we have page after page of vilification, to me it is pathetic. He may have tried to make sure the umpires noticed, hey a forward actually doing that, come forward Thomas, Reiwoldt, Motlop, Stevie J et al, they have all done it at some stage

He is one player, if he signs great, if he doesn't we move on, 54 pages of twaddle up to now

The more you play for frees the less you get them.  You even start missing the ones you should get.  Gary Lyon became embarrassing late in his career.

Someone should have a word in Hogan's ear.

All of that is great Saty, but as I said, my view had nothing to do with his contract situation at all.  I'm purely looking at the footage - if it was hard pull on the jumper, or a long one, he would have been pulled to ground towards Bews.  Instead it's a quick tug of the jumper and he falls, theatrically, the opposite way.  He played for a free kick, plain and simple.  That's not me criticising him, or blaming it on his contract situation.  It's just what it is.

    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

    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.

    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
