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.

Could someone please make up a rumour to get this thread back on track. 

Reported in Pews Ltd that Gawn had an extra Hundred Free kicks paid against him in year 2017 to contend with, as well as the two hundred and Fifty that were not. So he played pretty well considering Umpire don't understand New Zealandish.....

Isn't one of the things going against Meese that he's just not that tall or particularly mobile?

Good ruckman at stoppages etc but limited otherwise 

Watching him destroy Spencer at Casey match up he looked like Pedo in the ruck - too smart for the lumbering opposition 

No one will go near Goldstein as he's reportedly on $800k a year and North are only prepared to pay up to $300k of his contract AND want a decent pick for him

Whats happened to Jack Hannath?

He was either starved for opportunities behind Sandilands, or simply not up to it.  Sandilands has had his fair share of injuries and I don't recall Hannath getting much of a gig behind him.  With Spencer gone we have a spot for a backup ruckman, but I'd rather we look to upgrade rather than just move sideways.

Not sure I understand your post. Goldy is on a big contract that the club who gets him will have to pay. Also Roos will want a good pick or player for him. 

he won't go interstate , thats for sure 

and yes , but North will have to pay a %

What are the odds on a straight swap between north and the dogs 

stringer for Goldstein??

If you were Stringer you would turn around and beg for forgiveness from Bevo and everyone associated with the Dogs.  Anything but having to go and play for Norf.

Stringer still a chance to stay at Dogs, still a lot to play out. Unless Dogs get a super super deal in their favour he will stay.

I'd love to have a wager with you on both. He won't be at the Dogs, and they won't get a super super deal.

Agreed. Gone way too far now. He comes out and says..I want to play for x...it will all over. Dogs handled his trade badly and will pay for it.

When team mates come outs saying they basically want you out its not a good sign. I hope for is sake he can find a club and show again what he can do, at his best he's on of a few players in this league worth watching.

This is based on no rumours or anything but a player I think we should make a phone call to is Shaun atley. I see him as someone who may need a change of club and with a stronger midfield around him could be a good pick up. 

Id also be open to giving Mitch honeychurch a lifeline

Wasn't sure when I heard it myself either but I spoke with someone involved with the Dogs tonight whose spoken to Bevo and that's what he was told... will see how it all plays out I guess...

Atley just turned 25yr old and racked up 150 games. Has some serious leg speed. I agree a change of club would be good for him. Especially to the Dees as an 189cm outside midfielder/winger.

I would straight swap Watts for Atley.

And would prefer Atley over Gaff.

Still doesn't make it a fact

Unsubstantiated fact at this point

This highlights so much that is wrong today in terms of peoples ability to analyse information. And it has infected jounalism.

Some random person puts unsubstantiated heresay on the net - in this case an ex player said kent had poor skinfolds - and another random person uses this 'fact' to support hia argument.

I would do that deal too, but I’d still like to get Gaff in if he’s available 

Atley is a fine player with a good bank of experience and a good kick on him

Has there been any talk of Atley leaving? I can’t imagine the Kangas wanting to let him go

Many you'd get rid of that have no trade value, which gets us to why people might want to get rid of Watts. 

There's a reason why there is no "To get rid of Harmes or not" thread.

You gotta give to get

The only players of ours with any value to clubs are those with upside - other clubs  aren't going to want our scraps, and we are not going to want to trade the likes of Trac or Oliver(as Crows opened with for Lever) so instead it's those next tier of importance of players that we will need to look to move on if we want to bring in the likes of Atley, who would benefit our side enormously

    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
