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.

According to DemonAndrew in the Tom Mac thread,  Greg Denham just stated on SEN that Hogan is not far away from re-signing with the Dees

Wouldn't put it past Venom top just be torturing the MFC faithful though   !

Funny the difference a year can make, 12 months ago Freo were undefeated premiership favourites, Nat Fyfe flying and though they had ageing stars i don't think anyone thought they'd fall away like they have.

On the assumption he has made a deal with Freo, and the rumours have been around since when Freo were still a powerhouse he could have made a handshake and brown paper bag deal.  If he has he must be seriously regretting it now. Though perhaps not legally binding how would he extricate himself from that I wonder.

You just walk away.

Not legally binding is a self explanatory term. 

 

Edit:- If a club is shady enough to enter into such an arrangement then they deserve to be stung. Lay down with dogs wake up with fleas.

PS:- They may have said, "Come and join a premiership contender"  They clearly are not, all deals off.

Denham said that T Mac is close to signing a long-term deal and "hopefully, Jesse Hogan next".  Geez, how things can get lost in translation.

Most honourable persons would like to think they can keep their word on an agreement prior to formalising legalities. But if he was seduced by false hopes and promises then I agree it would be easy to walk away. I am quite convinced  these  backdoor  deals done outside the spirit of the  rules  happen all the time.

Agreed! it's disgusting! but lets be honest, if they're going to get Jesse Hogan for example it's going to take at least pick 1 and a player to even get us to consider trading him this year and they won't waste more than one year at the bottom if they have any say in it.

Don't know about that. They will lose Sandilands, Pavlich, Johnson. Mundy having ongoing calf issues isn't a great sign for them. Barlow looks on the outer. Their rucks haven't progressed as expected. Fyfe is a long term injury concern - Hill likewise. Even if they land McCarthy, what is not to say he doesn't continue having issues. Neale mightn't re-sign (rumors of him wanting out). Fremantle are struggling at the moment, but things could get even worse for them. I don't think they will be a top 8 side for a long while yet.

It never ceases to amaze me how even the simplest of comments can't be relayed without error.

Oh i 100% agree that they need a full re-build 4-5 years of good picks through the system while Pav and co are there to teach them, they remind me quite a lot of us before out big spell at the bottom, they've left the rebuild a little to late.

Understandable when the 'relay-er' happens to be none other than 'Petraccattack'.

King of all misinformation and exaggeration.

Hogan will re-sign in his own good time under manager guidance of course. Guaranteed. I posted that Howe was done & gone way before it happened. It happened. Jesse's building strong relationships within the playing group & staff, is settled in Melbourne & going to be a keeper. I'll back this one in.

Tim Gossage just said on SEN that there is absolutely no chance Hogan will be returning to WA. Hopefully his on the money. 

Probably true then as his "information" is usually whatever makes the WA teams look good...

Tim Gossitch (no idea if that's how you spell it) the WA reporter for SEN just ended his section by saying emphatically "I'll leave you with this, there is no way Jesse Hogan will come back to WA, I'll give you more information next week". Only small, but enough to get me excited

Playing the grand old flag on Sen! 

Has Hogan signed or is he not going home.

Funny that, he was pretty sure Hogan was going to Freo a couple of weeks ago....

    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
