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.

Anyone concerned that Brayshaw might leave should have those fears allayed by these comments:

"How could you leave this team?" he said with a wide grin.

"I keep talking about it, but the last two years I haven't played a lot of footy and the 10 minutes after a game is the golden 10 minutes I missed the most.

"I love all my teammates and I love the place, so hopefully (my new contract) gets sorted sooner rather than later."

It doesn't matter how many times you tell the nongs they won't believe until he signs. 

It's the way they're wired.

His manager is probably waiting for him to crack 40 touches so he can raise the price a bit more. Clever by him to wait to be honest. He's increased his contract a lot since the start of the year when he couldn't get a game.

your right, TMc's an idiot. right

No his form over years had established a rate he could get irrespective of the signing date. AB is a different story this time last year it was possible he might never play again.

Yep and that's where the spreadsheet kicks in. What did the salary gurus have planned for Tom Mc and AB at season's start and what has their form as well as interest from other clubs done to those estimates. In a way planning for the solid players is easy by comparison to those like Gus who while we all knew had potential has come from the clouds in the last ten games.

FWIW I think Gus will sign but it will make a mess of that salary spreadsheet. Riddle me this... what do you think Fritsch will need to be offered next year and do you think the salary gurus had that one in their spreadsheet.

I put it to you that TMc since mid last year has doubled his value.  So I say his past years were maybe half what he's worth, in the past 12 months.

 

Point is TMc was good enough to sign on Mid season, and not hold the club to any sort of  Free-Agency ransom, which he could have done.

 

Lets see what Brayshaw is made of.

 

There may be less in the Mfc piggy-bank come end of season....  Angus.

That's great and gives all Dee fans a nice warm inner glow, however, the Club still needs to offer him a contract commensurate with his worth on the market.

Sung to the of Shine on you crazy Diamond.

Something like

Sign on you crazy brayshaw...

Remember when he was gone
He copped knocks on the scone
Shine on, that Brayshaw guy can
Now there's a look in his eye
He's set to crucify
Shine on, that Brayshaw guy can

He was caught in the crossfire
Of beltings and king hits
Barely remembered his name
Come on you talent, you dual-sided star
Come on you magnet, you legend
You Demon, and shine

If i was Angus, i wouldn’t be signing anything until September. 

We make Finals and he is a big part of that, he will be in a very nice situation, and good luck to him. 

He has got here the hard way

In his under 18's days he was known to have quality leader credentials.

Opportunity for him now to really grab that with both hands now Viney will miss a few weeks.

Could really stamp himself in the league over these next few top sides.

Would be great to have some real A Grade Leadership on the park. 

Guys who can change the direction of a game regularly and not just talk about it. 

That 3rd Quarter from last Saturday, if replicated, will rip any side apart. 

Players who can do it deserve Top $$$

Every time I see a post in this thread I'm hoping it's a link to the article about him re-signing with the club.

I don't reckon it will be too far away.

Try late August.

The bottom line is that he'll sign. Doesn't matter if it's late August, early August or tomorrow morning.  I couldn't be more confident that it will get done.  

I'm going with a 3 year deal.

Don't be surprised if it is two. His manager will be confident he will be worth a lot more in two years time.

Talking Footy saying contract talks have started but Brayshaw camp in no hurry as they know his value is rising and quickly. I think he will sign  a two to three year deal in about three weeks time. By the time we sign all are required players up not sure where going to have loads of money left for Gaff.

I'm confident that the club will have factored in Gus' rise. He's a top 3 pick. It's not like he's really come from the clouds. This was expected when we drafted him. He's finally starting to fulfil the potential he has and we've now invested time in him too.

He'll sign and for a fair deal. This is a guy who we stuck by despite his career being on the edge of a precipice last year and even early this year. He'll sign a 2-3 year deal (it may be 3 to give himself a bit of security in case the head stuff flairs up again).

As for Fritsch, he's another one who we gave a chance to through the Casey system and then backed him in through our AFL system. I can't see him playing us too hard either.

As we've heard multiple times from the club since Roosy arrived, we have a no [censored] policy and good characters  are sought. As long as Bayley is being paid fairly, he will not hold the club over a barrel.

Which, leaves plenty of money for Gaff. The more talent we have in this side, the harder it is to fail.

Gawn, Oliver and Brayshaw are starting to show some leadership, which coupled with Viney and Lever, means we have a terrific young leadership group to guide this talented side. And when Vince, Lewis and Jones go over the next 1-3 years, I'm starting to believe these guys will more than fill the void, they'll demonstrate the leadership we've been calling out for.

I've probably said it before (sorry, but I'm a senior) but one of his real weapons is his ability to kick with both feet. So he doesn't have to 'wheel around' on his preferred if the best/first option is to quickly kick with the non-preferred.

It amazes me how many players can't kick with both feet. Jack Viney would be so much better if he could kick with his right foot. Same with Dom Tyson. 

Don't start me on Robbie Flower ...

Looking over the comments on Demonland I think any trade will be difficult. The consensus is that he is tougher than Jack Viney, faster than Jayden Hunt, better by foot than Clayton Oliver and has a tank better than ANB so taking all of the above traits into account you are looking at a guy who could break all records maybe upwards of 2.5 mil a year.

I don’t think we could afford that and again based on that if Bryce Gibbs is worth two first round picks this guy would have to worth maybe four making it difficult for other clubs though the Roos and Freo have a little cash so with a few picks may play a few cards.

    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
