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 'signing in six months' isn't the revelation in GNF's post.  People are repeating that timeframe as a means of discrediting his source and information.

The fact that Jesse has officially told the club that he wants to sign on again is the new information that GNF has contributed to the discussion.  To my knowledge, no media outlet has stated that Jesse has definitely informed the club that he wants an extension.  

This therefore is new and interesting formation.

The "signing in six months" puts the credibility of the post in doubt, because it doesn't make any sense.

What timeframe to negotiate, draft, sign and announce a multi-million dollar contract would be more believable?

Bearing in mind negotiations have not been ongoing...

Nonsense... as has already been mentioned in this "discussion", the news that Hogan would like to remain a Demon is NOT new information at all... it was in the press on July 21 and the only difference is that GNF is claiming that he got the info from the inner sanctum:

Great!

But doesn't that just confirm GNF's post?

As far as I can tell, it only confirms that GNF was not getting his info from the inner sanctum, but that he was just taking what was already in the media and claiming it's a done deal.  I think you will find GNF's post was made well after the July 21 date of that article (3rd August in fact).

So the 'inner sanctum' is not discussing Jesse Hogan telling the club he wants a contract extension?? I would imagine they'd be talking about little else.

Even the people who believe what GNF posted was true are having a go at him!

Members Wing posts a conversation with Dangerfield where he confirms something we all knew to be true and he gets shot down as well.

Ive never been privy to any real inside information, but if I was, I'd think twice before sharing.

I have read some outlandish "facts" on this website before  - I hope everyone keeps posting everything from the believable to the totally unbelievable and let all make up their own mind as to how believable a post it actually is.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to be somewhere else so I am going to hop aboard my dragon and fly to the planet Xerxes.

Those quotes are extracts, with minor rewording from the article 'hardtack' quotes below!!

I had forgotten that article 'hardtack'!  A few days ago I gave GNF credit for 'playing the probabilities, with logic' to get his statements/predictions.  It seems I gave him too much credit.  To see his post is just a collection of extracts from that article is particularly disappointing.  I feel he is having a lend of fellow Deelanders.  Not nice, especially as he knows he has some standing on DL.

When queried about the post he said:

You are all more than welcome to convince yourselves that this is BS....... be my guest.

My advice...... don't bother, take a deep breath a relax. There is no need to stress about this one any more.

Obviously I can't say anything more.

It is another 'riddle' like comment and just stringing people along.  I guess he couldn't exactly own up to his source being a WA newspaper!  (BTW the article was discussed on DL from July 21 so info not new).

7 pages of bashing a poster with basically no discussion around Jesse Hogan. 

Demonland at it's finest. 

 

GNF's post aside, i personally believe Jesse will re-sign before the start of Pre Season, he looks super committed to the club and it's direction and i reckon he'd be super excited about playing with his future partner in crime this weekend

I suspect partners in crime, not discounting Watts and Petracca. It could be exciting tomorrow, particularly if Garlett remembers where the goals are.

Apparently they have been if he's confirmed he's going to re-sign.

Do you need to be argumentative and highly strung to follow Melbourne OR does following Melbourne make you highly strung and argumentative?  (This excludes Nutbean who is clearly totally in touch with his inner Nut!)

Definitely time we moved on, those posters know where the ignore button is and they should know they don't have to read his posts.

Garlett needs to remember that he can be beside his opponent, or in front of him, or even somewhere not near him.

He doesn't need to be behind him all the time.

Whether you believe GNF or not, the fact we have spent half a dozen pages debating the legitimacy shows just how crap discussion is on this site.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
