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

I still think he'll sign again with the club, but it will be on a shorter term deal, like 2-3 years.  He'll get paid well, can focus on his footy and then re-assess and see if we are beginning to look like a serious premiership contender.  If not, well... 

Having said all that, a factor he mentioned is where a club is headed.  Freo don't exactly look all that flash right now, especially with Fyfe's future up in the air, so that can only be a positive for us.

I get a bit sick of this waiting to see how the team is traveling - we heard it from Chip and now Jesse and  Tom Mac. They need to show some leadership and drive the improvement, as Jack Viney is doing. I wish they were invested like he is.

Ok  Ill put it out there.. The guy is obviously full of shlt..or his manager is...

 

its not that hard to fathom. You have either bought in by now...or you havent.   Whatever

The new players BPA  thingy/whatever is a furphy..its irrelevant.

 

You know..I dont care..Good if he stays... we still exist if he doesnt...life goes on.. Melbourne remains mediocre ..what changes ?

People perennially postulate awaiting the swinging blade...whats new ?

If he's in...great...if not..  well...

 

they're all bloody widgets.....

I doubt he's actually waiting to see how we go. He's just got to say something. He can't really say, "I'm definitely staying, just playing hard ball to get a bit more cash out of the club" or "staying? U joking?".

If he goes home to surf with mates he isn't a serious footballer. 

Freo are a disaster. West Coast don't need him, and he doesn't strike me as someone who wants to compete for top dog claim (which he will have to do playing with Kennedy) 

He is more likely to leave for another Melbourne team for success and/or money. Since I can't see anyone capable of paying him more than us (not significantly anyway), I hope that he can be confident in our success going forward and stays on. The better we keep playing, the more chances he will stick around. 

and he is a 98% chance of getting eaten by sharks in WA ,as well as becoming a Bike gang member,possible murderer.

If Jesse is a crow supporter then surely the chance to play under one the crows greatest ever players in Goodwin for a couple of years is a enticing prospect?

Can only asume the source is someone close to the Pres. and that Jesse approved its the disclosure. It suggests that he is trying to shut down conjecture and we are the likely end result. Of course the club needs some certainty before it commits to other trade decisions.

that just about sums up the glass half full / glass half empty interpretation continuum associated with this!  No original source material - just a perspective on the Fox Sports interview.

For me (and I'm a glass half full guy on this particular topic), the key was where he hesitated slightly and quickly added "or whatever the case may be".

I've thought for some time that our risk is not in losing Jesse to WA (Freo or West Coast).  It is losing him to another Victorian club who are going places.  Fortunately the Dogs and Saints have their hands full in terms of competing young teams.  That leaves the perennial (Hawthorn), the smokey (Geelong - if they axe Clarke and figure that the game is passing Hawkins by) and the rank outsider (Pies).

On a side note can't remember who said it but The Age now has our correct logo on it. 

Funni though cause as soon as someone on here brought it up it was a day or so later that it was changed. 

Demonland is a gold mine for papers and journos! We do there jobs for them.

It's a [censored] quote, really. He's just saying it to cover his arse, because the whole "go home" factor is emasculating and is frowned upon more now than it was 10-15 years. A guy like him, he'd never admit to wanting to go home. He'll play it as wanting to be in a competitive club.

Really?

Someone on here said that Bartlett told them we weren't trading Hogan. The journo probably got that bit from here. And the quotes are just ripped out of the fox interview. Also describes McCarthy as a goal sneak which suggests the journo knows nothing about footy and is too lazy to write 'cam mccarthy' into google.

I find that scenario impossible to believe.  Sounds like "Scully to Richmond" to me.

    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.
