  • 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.

Wish we drafted him back in the day, that draft will go down as a super draft with him, Truck, Gus, Heeney and going to fruition.

Cant remember the draft order, but who would you not have drafted in his stead?

Why bother chasing a (soon to be) All Australian defender when we already have one.

 

Put Tom McDonald back to the backline and instead of going after Lever go and get Patton/Lobb.

 

Jetta OMac Frost

Hibberd TMac Hunt

Brayshaw Jones Vince

Petracca Hogan Melksham

Garlett Patton/Lobb Watts

Gawn Oliver Viney

 

Lewis Hannan Salem Tyson

 

 

Looks ok to me...

We have a good trade history with GWS, only think is it won't come cheap. Have to be realistic can't offer Pederson for either of them.

 

Weideman and a late first round pick?

 

Weed will be a dynamite forward in years 2 come bad trade. The computer says no.

Yep, kid is a footballer. Skinny and sorta uncoordinated now, but give him 2 years and he will be kicking more goals than Jesse.

Clearly we need Lever.

Frost and O-Mac in tandem are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Yes, he would be more than handy. Understatement...

I can't see Frost being in the future plans apart from being a depth player or maybe trade value.

O-Mac does have some upside though.

Not sure why Adelaide would be interest in either Watts or the Weid noting they already have Walker, JJ, Lynch and McGovern (maybe short term) loitering around in there forward line and Otten who swings around there.

There backline would need more support which increases the value on Oscar/Frost but I still think there priorities would be for high quality mids. 

I still think a local like an ANB might be used along with a first round pick in exchange for Lever and some pick in change. You have to spend big to get the talent and personally I think the kids going to be a star.

Would be massive for us to get this done

If Gibbs goes to Crows at 29 before next season, I wonder what his value is.

What worries me about that deal, is that Carlton will go for Lever themselves.

I am told they are into Kelly up to their eyeballs.

Can see that happening. I like it.

Maybe Carlton can be lured by more ex-GWS players in any of Tyson, Bugg or Frost + a pick.

 

What about JKH to carlton? They wanted him a couple years ago, plus a pick.

Gibbs to Adelaide, Lever to Melbourne, our first rounder this year and a second rounder next year to the Blues.  They won't be interested in any of our players, and we won't offer the ones they will have interest in.  Maybe the Crows chuck in a second rounder of some sort as well to go to the Blues.  Carlton wanted two first rounders last year, so one first rounder and two seconds might get the job done.

You value Gibbs highly.

Be interesting to see how much currency Gibbs and Gaz have at their respective ages.

Caro just said on FC that he DID meet with Melbourne. Her mail is normally good, her opinions not so. 

Her mail is better than anyones.  He definitely met with us.

I have faith our pitch to him would of been well done. Can only hope he does choose to come to us. As for what picks and or who I'm sure the club have pretty much already figured out the options and also have solid faith it will be worth it.

If he doesn't come, at least it's a good sign players want to meet with us and are linked with us. Especially the most sought after.
Lever would be the biggest coup the club has had in my time anyway.

OMac is a good player. It's only your stubbornness that prevents you from seeing it now. 

Agree with you on Frost.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
