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.


FA & Trade Whispers

Have been reading all of these pages with great interest, and finally found a reason to post, as I don't do it too often.

if the FD or any serious Melbourne supporter even thinks that Xavier RICHARDS is an option to take the field, or even be on our list, I am hoping they haven't seen him play and are guessing he might be ok cos his brother was.

i will happily be proven wrong over the next few years, but for him to ask for a trade is quite amusing, as I would be surprised if anybody wants him.

if we brought him in, I will honestly never have any faith in the FD again, that's how poor a player I think he is!

not sure if I have been strong enough with my opinion there or not???

Trade show on Fox said he had not been offered a contract by Swans. They also don't think much of him, yet he made their GF side. Maybe we could get them interested in Garland.

Well they have lost Frost, Brown and Marsh and the last forward they got from us, is one of their best players, down back.

They would probably offer us the pick they get for Cloke, pick 197.

They could be desperate... which would be good for us.

Don't think they have any good picks and they need to get two father son players, so what would they offer but the Cloke pick, or their last pick, whichever is worse.

Had hoped he might be part of the ( you know who ) deal, but at worst,  could lead to a pick upgrade with the Lions, say 29 to their 21.

I would have Dunne in front of that lot anyway. He has been great for us and still playing good football. A lot of posters on here have forgotten that.

They can Have Garland, not Dunn, unless they cough up something of value, or take Lumumba and Kennedy back.

Both aren't worth anymore then 4th rounders.

Neither playing AFL - neither have any trade value except depth and salary cap space

maybe not but we are trying to trade them to collingwood who has a history of trying to bend us over and screw us, so it would be nice to get one over them.

There is a reason why a player who just played in their GF isn't offered a contract. If they rated him, they would work something  out you would think.

i would prefer to keep garland, as they will both be playing at casey all year, and garland has been a leader at the club.

that being said, I would be happy not to have either!

I didn't mean swapping Richards for Garland, just that if they lose Richards, that maybe we could get them interested in Garland. They took Laidler and improved him at his 3rd club.

Realistically they would have no interest though.

Pretty good that we will get Lewis and Hibberd this trade period. Especially since we only thought we would get Hibb.

If we somehow managed to get Rockliff, things would get pretty exciting for 2017. 

OMG! Would that make us a 'destination club'?

According to some on this thread a few weeks ago (not you qaroks), we are most definitely NOT a destination club. Flat out said we were not.

If Hibberd and Lewis land at the Dees, are we officially one of the 'destination clubs'?

Or do we need to land a big fish, like one of those kneeless mids from GWS that struggle to get on the park?

I think we are now a "destination club" after the Lewis trade. it looks like we have a chance to get right up there over the next few years and have a dreaded "premiership window" - while some of the other clubs are dropping back like North, and maybe even the Hawks.

We might see a few more players like Lewis try and speak with the Dees to jump on board if 2017 goes well.

As for landing a big player, I am more keen on landing a quality player at the right price. If we somehow did get Rocky, for effectively a second round pick, and the Lions paid a chunk of his pay ... that would be amazing.

We have such a good bunch of young players who could be major stars, we don't need to go crazy and pay overs for a Fyfe etc. Keep the team together and add quality if it comes along.

Dunn to pies

Cloke and a pick to dogs

Honeychurch to Dees?

Very optimistic. I think Pick 62 in a three way trade with CG/Filth would be about as good as we could get.

Blues looking to add Marchbank, Pickett, Stewart and Palmer from GWS for pick 5.

They are the second home of unwanted Giants. Top of the beanstork.

LOL

They did a similar trade last season or the one before, and all the players they got ended up sucking

    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
