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.

Agree with the 650k stipulation but I'd add we'd need to offload Tyson as he would become 1 too many. I think Maynard will take his spot next year anyway, so if we can get some value out of him I'd take it. Happy to keep him otherwise, either way.

Maynard is a different player to Tyson, for mine. We need all the decent midfield depth we can get. If Tyson becomes a depth player, we'll be heading in a really terrific direction.

Am told that Rockliff is not the sort of guy you want at the club.

Was this pre-2017, because I'd heard similar things, but didn't seem to be too toxic to a young Brisbane outfit this year.

Would this work?

Adelaide - Pay: Lever, Cameron. Receive: Melbourne's 1st Rnd '17 & '18, GCS 2nd Rnd.

Melbourne - Pay: 1st Rnd '17 & '18, Weideman. Receive: Lever, Lynch.

Collingwood - Pay: P6. Receive: Weideman.

Gold Coast - Pay: Lynch, 2nd Rnd. Receive: Cameron, P6.

So we give up three first round picks for two KPPs?  A bit steep I think.

Depends how much we'd be paying Rockliff. He's in the top 5 clearance players in the league. Add him to Oliver and Viney and that's the best midfield group in the league. He can also play a proper forward role, rather than merely being a stop gap solution like Tyson is when forward.

If we could get Rockliff for $650k, I'd do it. But I don't think we could or will.

When Jones is cooked from playing on-ball, & we are left with Oli, Viney & maybe Maynard in under? we will be wishing we had Rocky as well.

If we can free up a little something with Jacky baby, I'd like to spend that on Rocky.

If we ended up with Lever, Gaff & Rocky at the end of 2017, I reckon we'd be doing very well out of this season.

Maynard won't hit his straps if he does for another couple of years. He may well start getting games next year, but won't be a topliner inside mid next year. He'll be a novice.
IF Jones's legs go off early, then we would need the mature inside player that Rocky is now.

We saw what happened when Jones was injured this mid year with his Quad.  That, and other things, helped to conspire to derail our momentum & season fairly abruptly.

Including Watts slow recovery.

And the mistake of not keeping Pedo in the team rucking, around the time of Gawn coming back.

We weren't ready for a couple of reasons and one of them is inexperience.

Well Oli, Viney & Maynard are all inexperienced immature players.

Lose Jones, Vince & Lewis, and we are behind that 8 ball again. Rocky could be a bridge between they're ages.

Yawn. An entire year of Ablett trade talk and Nathan Buckley coaching on every footy show on a weekly basis, the reason why i've ceased watching all of them halfway through the year except 'on the couch'

How do you know it was a whole year if you stopped watching them halfway?

Probably Lang, Motlop or Menzel, though Motlop has had a good finals series. Wonder if the Cats will have a rethink on him.

On what I saw of Lang last night I wouldn't be interested, though again a lot of Cats were terrible, none more so than the big bloke at FF.

100% Agree

 

Worst kept secret ever - let's hope GC don't just let him go, otherwise it's making a mockery of the "System'"

I know who you mean. Lucas.

Just that the Weide is nothing like Lucas.

 

The comparison is just ridiculous.

The purpose of the image was to highlight things are not always as portrayed. 

Cook , arguably one of the most curious of all draftings looked like X...played like Y.

Weed , lauded as this that and the other must surely be one of our most speculative selections ever all based on much extrapolation of his much younger potential. 

Both round 1 selections. 

The comparison i use is they are both likely to be categorised as poor returns when looked back upon.

Its my view and i own it, that his selection was foolhardy and ill concieved. 

We stuffed up with Cook and i see little in Weed to get excited about.

Each to their own

If they can get something for him, and free up money, then I reckon they win. He's cooked. He's hurt more than he is fit, and has maybe 2018 and a bit of 2019 left in him.

I love Ablett to Geelong, as it means another year trying to milk success out of an aging list while not developing their next generation. The cliff when it comes (2019 be my guess) will be brutal. :)

Motlop played his 3 best games this year at the MCG. If you could get him consistent in work ethic he is exactly the type of line breaker we need. I would suggest he will have been discussed by our list management but I wonder how seriously.

Played well last night, but noticed he pulled out of two contests and that is something Goodwin doesn't like.

Wonder if he is on our radar. He is apparently on good money and that could be a problem.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
