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.

I have a secret sauce.

Freo get pick 5 from BNE for Neale and Hogan goes to KFC for pick 6, 17 and 68, (family bucket) which he swaps for picks 22, 223 and 2 (spicy wings, nuggets and a coke) Bell refuses the wings but cleverly swaps the nuggets for a packet of darts which Hogan accepts and becomes a Marquis player. (nice Moustache and boots.)

Fremantle have already traded away pick 6. 

Edit: I should have read the rest after pick 6..

You also said Freo have gone cold on him and are not interested if I remember correctly. So is he staying or going?

Staying.

Either Freo are truly cold on him or they will wait 12 months to get him on the cheap. 

If I were Freo the temptation to take a King brother now with the Neale pick 5, then bring Jesse home next year would be a very enticing one. 

Would set up their forward line for 10 years.

Maybe 4-5 years, until the King brother asks to come home to Melbourne. Isn't that why GC are steering clear of them?

But if they want him next year then they are still interested.

ETD I have seen much of what you have seen, where we differ is the conclusions we come to. Players tour other clubs facilities, sometimes they end up there sometimes they don't. Bruce Lee to Peter Bell that would be a bitter pill everyday you open Demonland. I'm looking forward to it.

 

As bitter a pill as this?

I think not!

We won’t know either way for 12 months. But you can’t use that as an excuse not to give Chicken Nixon a run as your avatar.

Tell you what ETD When I win I will expect your avatar to be the worst Bell image I can find but only for 1 month, I might be a grumpy ol bastard but I am not cruel.

King brothers have significant go home factor interstate clubs are aware of and if drafted by an interstate club it will only be one confident of getting both of them to lessen that. Freo would be silly to draft an unproven king brother with go home factor with the same pick that could have locked up jesse hogan, a proven key forward and as you say set up their forward line for the next decade. 

Fremantle also won’t get him cheap next year, it will likely cost them a strong first round pick minimum to get a deal done, and they run the risk of Jesse deciding to stay or Another club like west coast getting involved with Kennedy another year older. 

The strategy you have proposed is full of risks for fremantle who could achieve a better outcome tomorrow if they’d pull their heads out of it and accept our very reasonable trade request

I must be on happy pills.  If he goes, he goes and the club is either happy with that (or delirious with joy as some here would have it).  If he stays I'm not worried about a year of speculation/lack of commitment/relations with the team.  I reckon MFC can handle all that.  And I don't give a damn about media speculation as long as it doesn't affect the team internally.

I’ll reciprocate on my two first rounders demand and settle for 1 month. 

If only you and I were handling this Hogan affair. Sensible heads!

I am on happy pills and have been for a number of years..they're quite good and after the last 50 years as a Melbourne supporter, my doctor regards as a requisite. Where was I.....pick 16 goes to hell where all the inmates are Demons and pick 16 lives happily ever after.

I reckon with 3 days left...we can make the 500!

If Jesse doesn’t go this trade period and I hope he doesn’t, every media event next year will make his life a never ending circus with questions and speculation.

Maybe even if he has said to the FD that he wants out next year, he could be persuaded to sign a (three year) contract extension to keep the dogs away in 2019 with the FD agreeing that they will enter negotiations this time next year.

This would give him a calm footy environment for the year and place the club in a (more) sound negotiating position instead of the frantic mess we are currently witnessing.

Supposition but could be a reasonable interim outcome 

Contracts mean nothing .... AFL is a mess with this one .. you sign u stay ffs ..  commitment both ends not that hard., only extreme circumstances should be allowed.. I accept Hogan wanting for fsmily reasons since his dad died but you hear Scully who is contracted until 2021 it’s a disgrace

Not if Freo have a handshake agreement with Jesse and his manager to bring him over next year if Melbourne don’t capitulate at the trade table now.

Whatever your own thoughts are on the King Bros, if you can hold on to the rolled gold of pick 5 in a superdraft AND get your key forward 12 months later ... only a mug list manager would not look at that as an attractive option. 

I don’t like how Fremantle are manoeuvring any more than the next Demon fan, but try looking at the situation from Peter Bell’s size 6 brogues. If he can find a way to have his cake and eat it too he’s going to explore it.

I know I sure as hell would if I were them.

Its crazy to think they will have both. 

Jesse will impact their club in the same way Buddy has Sydney both on the field and off the field with game attendance, memberships, sponsors etc.

If they set it up properly Jessie is their marquis player (with Fyfe) for a long time to come. 

I am Jesse fan but this is hogwash. 

Franklin is a superstar and in the top 5 best players in the league for 10 years.  Franklin has absolute star power and Jesse does not have this presence.

And I don't think there would be any ill feelings from the club or the boys. 

The Dees and us just want fair compensation so we can improve our list. 

I'm positive that Freo still want him, warts and all. They just want their cake and to eat it too. 

The Weller deal last year has them thinking that you can always get away with murder at the trade table. 

They're using the current government with it's   conga line of temporary  'leaders' as an example.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
