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.

Good news is Hogan's now given us an excuse to pull the pin on this 'going back to Perth whenever he's got spare time' routine that's carried on for far too long now.

Rewarding him with time off due to suspension was a mistake from Goodwin and he doesn't ever have to repeat it now.

Early morning beach session when he gets back I'd suggest.

This is only a story if AFL players don't, normally, smoke during the season.

I'm 99.9% sure that they do, which means this is not a story.

They do. Tobacco is discouraged, not outright banned. I believe the general advice is if you're going to have a cigarette, do it after a match, out of the public eye, and don't overdo it.

Hogan broke one of those rules but aside from that it's not massive from a playing perspective. From a PR perspective it's bad

 Can we get him arrested before he lights up another one?

To save him from himself I mean.

He's worse than Ben Cousins.A menace  to himself and society at large.He must be stopped.

If he cops a clip from the Club for being stupid, he'll probably sulk for the next month.

Wake up Jesse!

Get a life. Footballers are human beings. J. Christus, he smoked a CIGARETTE, ban him for life...

In the meantime you are part of a society which makes a fortune from supplying tobacco and the tax it supplies to the coffers of various governments. Have it both ways????/

I truly believe, Biffen, you have the correct attitude. Use him as Trade fodder. Play him at Casey for six months.

Think it is more the principle that he is rocking it at a music festival and taking advantage of the clubs Grace to let him go home for a few days after he [censored] up and got himself rubbed out for two weeks.

What are you on about. Earlier in the thread I said him smoking a cigarette is no big deal. It's merely the *look* of him smoking that is bad.

Nice to see him taking advantage of the club who for some reason let him go back to Perth after he let them down.

Needs to get his ass on next flight to Melbourne and do extra sessions while out suspended.  Which is exactly what should have been happening.

Bit OTT there Pet.

Plenty of players smoke. His only mistake is having some wannabe paparazzi nearby who wanted 5 seconds of fame. He has a few days off from training. Give the guy a break.

The cigarette is irrelevant really, he should be in Melbourne supporting his teammates who busted their ass on the weekend while he was prancing around like a fairy at a music festival. 

 

I totally agree, prancing like a fairy at a music festival is a disgrace and reflects badly on his masculinity.

I can see people's perspective on the humor side but when your serving a 2 match suspension from a dumb and stupidity act then its not a good look at all, especially when his team is busting their asses off to cover the loss for him and Lewis.

As some have said if it was Jack Watts he would have copped an absolute roasting in the media. Its a [censored] poor effort from Hogan and i expect better from him. Im all for having a life outside of footy but jesus at least be smart with your decisions and actions. Don't care if he is smoking darts just do it at an appropriate time when there's no grubby scrubs taking snaps of you.

Its no surprise to me though that this has come about. Jesse isn't exactly squeaky clean off field as some on here think he is.

Next time he goes to Perth we should put him in lockdown so he can't actually see any of his friends. He could just go back to his room and sit amongst the trophys and be grounded.

As long as it doesn't become a habit I don't gaf. The club will have a word to him I'm sure but we have to remember he's a young person and If the worst thing he's doing is having a smoke in his time off then it's not a huge deal.

I bet no one here would say within Jesse's earshot that he was "prancing around like a fairy".

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that!

I'm disappointed with his choice of pant with that style of shoe .

Also, if he is going to "prance about", he should put more hip movement into it.

To be honest,he's not even trying in the fashion stakes and he might need a complete makeover.

The club let him go home so the music festival is not unexpected.  If the festival is a bad look that's on the club not Hogan. 

Having a dart isn't great, but it's a pretty small issue. 

 

I was actually very impressed with the second video in the article, with the touched shot at goal. Not many players at AFL level would show that level of sportsmanship, and it should have been widely apprlauded.

    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
