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.


Trade rumours

Freo are planting the Hogan story, and they will continue to plant it every year. They know he is a gun, and they know how badly they need him.

It's smart of them to do it. Some players get awfully upset at even the possibility of a trade - just ask Jordan Lewis. The only thing we have to worry about is whether Hogan is enticed to go, or whether the club is being vocal with him about how valuable he is to us.

Lever wont be part of any trade for Hogan.

Not for one minute do I believe that Hogan will request a trade, but it is fanciful to think that it would involve 4 clubs. We'll deal with the Crows on Lever as a separate trade. What we get for Watts may be part of it, but there is no way in hell should the Gibbs to Adelaide deal be part of it.

That would be one of the worst deals of all time - trade a seasoned AFL footballer who has his flaws but arguably one of our most skilled players to the filth for an upgrade of 4 picks in the Lucky Dip they call the National draft. Then we flip that plus something to Adelaide for a bloke who just polled the same votes in the Brownlow as Oscar Mac and as far as I'm concerned is not a KPD - Wow I just give up 

I agree, cant believe some of the trades I have read on this forum.

The idea of Hogan going is in the main preposterous. Its so far fetched its silly.

The sheer magnitude of its ridiculousness makes it ideally suited to circus week.

Crazy things happen. This qualifies.

Am hoping it doesn't. I'll feel better at 2.01 on the 19th of next month.

Trade Hogan!!!!!!!!!!!!

This can longer be called "the silly season", it is the [censored] in the head season!!

I totally agree BBO. I also just tuned into the thread. Trade Hogan?.......shirley your joking!!......for what?!   Hes one of the best forwards going around......he took forever to sign, but then he did. So then what is the actual friggin point of these contracts then??

Id be staggered if he left. (we even let him smoke)>.

The Club can't afford to trade Hogan. The supporter fallout would be catastrophic and detrimental to our membership numbers. The rumour is mischievous 

Yep, no need to worry about how we'd fair the year after, the place won't be standing once the members get through with it

I'll say something that may seem unkind but read it in context.

If Hogan were to seek a trade home this year, after signing a new contract and then  having the year from hell, in which the MFC have supported him 100%, I would regard him as an ungrateful person who I would then care little about.

HOWEVER, that is not the case and he is going nowhere. He apparently loves the club and his team mates and he continues to have my full support in both his recovery and his football career, with the Dees.

Actions speak louder then rumours and for Hogan to poll 3 Brownlow votes against Brisbane with what he had to deal with for the year clearly demonstrates how much playing for Melbourne means to him.

Non, meet sequitur.

Bit disappointed that we seemingly don't have any interest in Devon Smith. Good pace, dangerous forward, wants more midfield time and could be used as that "outside" player I would have thought.

Has apparently already invested in some nice  Bellarine real estate...a certain new [censored] I have been told, we won't get a look ? in....

If it's true it does sound a little like mark neeld. There are literally petitions being sent to the club to keep jack. Especially considering we're unlikely to get much for him

We would get a lot for him if it was his initiative.

Other clubs know that he's being pushed out so they know that they don't have to ask much.

I really think we'd accept Watts for a 4-pick drop from 10 to 6 if it would help us land Lever more easily. Massive unders, but it might gets us what we want. We're in a lousy position to demand much for Watts (who is not damaged goods like Stringer), and this may well be as good as we are likely to get.

Should Roos really be saying anything? He chose goody as coach so should be backing in his decision not a good look 

He should Pizz off back to the media 

It is not his place to comment

Just very very disappointing

    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
