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.

Jesse going nowhere, boys and girls.

MFC has demanded at least pick 2 and Freos first rounder next year for Jesse. This is why Freo offered Weller and 5, for The Suns' pick 2. This will then be sent to us for Hogan along with their 2018

saad goes for 2018 second rounder - great get for the peptides alongside smith and (potentially) stringer

Seems a pretty good get, if the bombers stay in the same position as this year that's only pick 28 for Saad.

Goes back to the point of draft picks being over-rated due to the uncertainty. Would the odds only be 50/50 that pick 28 would end up being a regular 22 player?

Is Kyle Langford worth a look? haven't seen much of EFC but showed a bit when I have.

Maybe opportunity drying up a bit with the influx of new players.

That's weird given his brother left GC for the Saints.

His brother got delisted from GC. Saints gave him a life-line. Big difference.

You'd think the family would still be dirty on the Suns but they've been through a few different staff members since that was done.

What's interesting is the Weller's came from Tasmania and Lachie was never eligible as a GC academy player, then the family moved to Melbourne when Mav moved to the Saints. So there's not really a strong go home factor. 

I think Lachie is saying move me to where I've got some high school mates - and give me a handsome pay rise to make it happen.

The AFL article mentions his girlfriend as a factor. Given that he’s only 21 and making career decisions around a girlfriend it may we’ll be that he’s a lunatic.

Richmond will do the same kind of thing too.

They'd say anything to move to their club of choice, Don't read too much into it.

Would be smart to consider it, of course we have no idea who the club thinks they can pick up with the picks we already have.

Might be a way to delay the "must use a round 1 pick every x years" thing if the AFL actually decide to enforce it, and would then bring up the possibility of forward trading our 2019 first round pick next year.

Good idea in theory. If highly placed clubs are considering it, shouldn't that be telling us something about the supposedly shallow draft this year? Might be deeper than we keep getting told.

Kim trying to stay relevant.  This was mention this morning on SEN as a way Essendon can get a first round pick for the Bulldogs.  The point was West Coast need to inject youth If West Coast trade first Round pick their List Management team should be sacked.  Brisbane and Gold Coast that have academy picks are the clubs you target.

They might be after an additional pick to help with the Ah Chee trade, wouldn't be surprised if they were looking at getting Essendon's picks in the 20's to facilitate Stringer trade. Happy for us to jump in and trade our second rounders for pick 13, might get a decent outside mid with that pick.

I heard that Richmond knocked back an offer from Essendon for one of their first round picks.

Not a rumour, just a thought, but if West Coast happy to trade two 2nd round picks for pick 13, would this work:

Melbourne: Out Watts, 29 & 36 - In Pick 13 & 49

Port: Out Ah Chee, Pick 31, pick 49 - In Watts and Pick 36

West Coast: Out: Pick 13 - In Ah Chee, Pick 29 & Pick 31

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
