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.

There is a good chance I will be four days older but is that what you had in mind bb?

Not really Old.  More along the lines that I would think something would need to give before friday. I really cant see the club going into next year with this as an unknown, nor can I see them wanting to even go into next week without some certainty as to Mister Hogans commitment. 

Its all well and good for some to remind us that he still has a year left  but as it was he  or his /and or his management that stalled things I should have ask y why. There was no indication back then of the family situation other than possible  go-home-itis.  His Fathers health may well put a different spin on things but why that cant be resolved to everyones best outcome ?

If this is purely about money, resolve it. If this IS about family, that too can be resolved  ( as far as can be helped )

Any which way , announcement or whatever , I expect something to happen before Friday

and yes we'll be 4 days older

Probably rubbish. Anyone know who runs this account? It's not an AFL endorsed user is it?

Use of the AFL logo would be unwise if not affiliated...

My gut tells me that if a contract isn't signed then a trade will be done this period, we can't be waiting around for him to screw us over in 2-3-4 years time

So Barrett and Ralph have mail that seems to be totally different. I don't think anyone knows what will happen.

Could that be the club leaking conflicting versions, so that no one really knows until they make an official announcement.

It depends how badly you want to keep Jessie.

Right now nothing can be done without his agreement.

While we all want a decision we do have a couple of skilled people handling this who have not put a foot wrong so far.

Patience is a virtue.

If he wants to go back to WA this trade period it is not a good one from our point of view.

We might all just have to wait to get the best result

I actually think the contrary.  I would have thought this is by far the better year  to trade. Next year we're backed into a corner

Could also be that the club has said nothing and these two are guessing, each in the opposite direction.

Is that your page Karl? 

I wish. My best source is Max Gawn's old basketball team mate who just keeps telling me what a great guy he is. I tell him I want more and he tells me Maxy hates talking footy when with mates. So sorry, not I.

I suspect this is the case, and the club either has no new info, or they're in total lock down out of respect for Jesse's personal situation.

My fading memory tells me neither has a first round pick this year to offer and I am not sure we are in any worse position next year. If he wants to leave he still has to satisfy us with a trade.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
