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.

Probably because we don't put our name out there in public attached to a player unless we know for sure we'll get them. Just look at how embarrassing the Richmond situation was last year with Treloar.

We're trying to prevent having eggs on our face. Comparitively, this just makes St Kilda look desperate. They've said they're attached to Dangerfield, Hurley, Fyfe and countless others, and ended up with none of them. It actually just reflects poorly on their club and reiterates a perception that they aren't a destination club.

 

Well, they did pay the moon & stars for Carlyle. That should keep the fans happy.

And Richmond might just do it again with Prestia.

One thing's for sure and that is Freo footy club has a bad smell coming out of it right now.

I think 'Ross the Boss' might infact be 'Ross the toss'.

Ed: Oh, and by the way, after years of torment from Freo supporters I'm making every second of their shitty season count.

THE Suns have made an audacious play to lure Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe to the Gold Coast.

The draft pick rich Suns have offered two first-round picks and potentially another player to Fremantle to get the deal done either in this year’s trade period or next year when Fyfe becomes a restricted free agent.

Gold Coast currently have two picks in the top ten in this year’s draft, plus whatever they receive for out-of-contract midfielder Dion Prestia who wants out of the Suns and is believed to have nominated Richmond as his destination of choice.

Gee, three first round picks if Prestia goes to Tigers. Two go to Freo for Fyffe leaving them one first rounder. Not bad for GC.

Regardless of how they got them, three round 1 picks becoming Fyffe and a first rounder sounds ok to me, assuming his leg is ok.

Wow.  That's a huge offer.

I can't see Freo doing it, as I'm sure they'll want to back themselves in to get better next year and have him sign on, but if they are slightly worried about his leg and he isn't the best teammate (as has been reported and commented on in some areas), then they might bite on that deal.  That would, potentially, give them 3 picks inside the Top 10, plus they are already keen on McCarthy, Hill and possibly Rory Lobb as well.  

This off season is going to be very, very interesting.

Good on Gold Coast for making that type of play i say.

Freo would have to seriously consider it. Would allow them to probably land McCarthy, Lobb, Brad Hill and probably still have a 1st Round Pick to use.

Freo will need currency to lure those blokes. 

I think Fyfe is a real chance of going to Gold Coast.

I think Freo are a real chance of accepting the deal, but Fyfe is still under contract and has to agree to it - he might come back to Freo and say he wants out, but only to a Vic club.  He doesn't have to go to GC if he doesn't want to.  He might see Prestia leaving, Ablett being in his twilight years and possibly Swallow and O'Meara leaving as well, and not see much of a future up there.

Fyfe is a different cat so heading off to the Gold Coast is well within his scope. He's also a footy nut so getting to Victoria might be his aim. If that's the case, the implications of picks and subsequent hand-offs will be complicated. But we're getting used to it.

That would be one hell of a midfield if they could keep them all at the club and on the field.

The Dockers will do a deal with Fyfe. He's their marquee player with Pavlich and Sandilands on their last legs.

If Freo let Fyfe go then they're cactus as a club.

They might  be cactus in the short term.

But three top 10 picks, as well as adding McCarthy, Hill and possibly Lobb, while Bennell might also come back into the side, and the future doesn't look all that bad.  I think they need to go in to full rebuild mode now.  What if Fyfe leaves at the end of next year?  They won't get the same deal as the one GC are offering now.  If they feel that Fyfe is even a small chance of leaving, then they would be silly not to seriously look at that deal.

Fremantle should bite the bullet and trade Fyfe. They need a rebuild. Their list is aging and with very limited youth coming through. Hawthorn are on a very similar path, but they just have the leaders to win their games. 

Fremantle missed their window and need to start again. By injecting two first round picks this year in a very talented draft pool alongside luring McCarthy and Lobb if they can get them would set them up on an exciting path.

Gold Coast are nuts if they give away 2 early first round picks for Fyfe.

Haven't they learned their lesson with their injury decimated midfield this year? Why spend such valuable draft currency on someone who has a shocking recent injury history?

It's the very definition of high risk / high reward, but I wouldn't be taking the chance, particularly if this draft is the high talent one its rumoured to be.

We need a player like Fyfe and Roos almost said as much when he said we need someone to take the game on and turn it round for us, or words like that.

We got destroyed yesterday by Dangerfield and then Selwood, we had no answer to their dominance and Danger treated our tackles with contempt. Maybe Tracc will be our Dangerfield and Viney will be our Selwood, I'm not convinced about that.

It would actually end up as probably a straight swap of O'Meara picks for Fyfe, if it happened.

That would be far more palatable than seeing O'Meara in a hawforn jumper.

    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
