    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.

Wow, you go off the Internet for an hour... But absolutely brilliant news!

It might be an obvious statement to make, but I'll be the first to predict that Jesse is going to have an absolute belter of a 2017 season. Getting this contract done before the start of next year will surely remove a lot of stress from Jesse's mind. 

For those who missed his interview on trade radio (myself included), Josh Mahoney will be on SEN at 10:25

I went and had a shower once, and when I came back, Paul Roos was our coach.

Mahoney on SEN this morning, (paraphrasing):

  • Club confident Jesse would want to stay, despite recent speculation
  • No ultimatum ever put to Jesse
  • Think Hogan and Weideman can be a lynch pin for us for years to come
  • Hogan, in his exit interview, was very disappointed with his last 5 weeks and keen to have a big 2017

Good to see all the rubbish written about an 'ultimatum' put to bed!

Oh no My prediction was wrong.

I am slipping that is the second time I have been wrong in the last 20 years.

Must be the ageing process.

So at least OD's guts didn't have to hold out till May. Happy Days all round!

Club has managed this superbly. For this to not get out, given the level of speculation, is remarkable.

I've had a lot of mail about Hogan in the last month. but it was wildly conflicting and not worth sharing, other than the 5 years or eff off now yarn. Even that I only posted because the source was impeccable.

Clearly he signed for less time than what was on the table. But signs of a rock solid club not sweating under the spotlight.

One of the very few posters with insider info that I trust.

Keep posting C.I.P

This management team we have is quite something now, isn't it?

Compare this to how theseThings were handled in a previous administration and it is like day and night.

Ever day I get more impressed with the way our club is now being run.

I'll just add

  • Mahoney said we traded future draft picks last season because we wanted Weideman
  • Don't expect us to be active this trade period (Had previously mentioned helping Dunn get a trade and obtaining Hibberd)

Yea totally agree. So much of this is about "kultcha". Says a lot that he wanted to stay despite the lure of home. We're really going to be reflecting on Paul Roos' legacy a lot in the future. Let that reflection start with signings like this

Heard someone on SEN yesterday say they had spoken to Hogan's old man and there was no family "pull factor". They're very happy with Melbourne.

So he has signed a two yr extension on his current contract which will take him up to 2019 with his current term included. 

So that gives us one season not to talk about his next contract extension!

Thats gunna be fun when it all starts again!

in all seriousness congrats to Jesse and the MFC.

2 year deal is perfect for both parties. It gives the dees a chance to open up our premiership window, then gives Jesse the choice of money v success in 2 years time. We don't overpay Jesse in the meantime, and Jesse gets to see if the club can deliver a chance to play finals footy before making his next decision. 

Great news!!!

2019 - just right!

Either we're primed for a flag - in which case he'll stay ....... or we're not in contention - in which case we'll need to push the reset button ..... by going forward without him.

Just about got all the bases covered - unless of course we've won it already!

No more dreaming Dees - just get out there - and do it!!

I am happy to hear he has signed and committed. While I am not as confident in Hogan becoming a superstar as others on Demonland, he is still a very good player and could potentially end up being a great one. This needed to happen prior to trade week IMO given his trade value and contract size, so it is a bit of a relief it is all over.

Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club, Jesse Hogan. Despite all the gushing from many a fellow Demonlander , and that's their prerogative, this for mine is the first real sign he has and will be a Melbourne player let alone a possibly great Melbourne player. This is my opinion granted but up til he signed he had not bought in. Now he has, it would seem and thats a Good win for the Dees.

As I suspected, something had to give before friday. It has and it a very hearty sign for things to come

 

go you good club.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
