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.

Just nominated but Plough thinking pick 9 this year and Essendon's first round next year as starting point. Will let you know Jim.

Yet the media think Jesse is worth only one top 10 pick!! Complete idiots!! 

Getting a bit tired of 'media' undervaluing our players and (in a relative trade sense) overvaluing those of other clubs!  I know I shouldn't pay any attention but they tended to set the narrative and it is painful!

Definitely media undervaluing our players this year LH, think a bit jealous about our gun kids perhaps, really noticeable.

midfielders are where the gold is these days

Richmond and Dog's success has seemingly dulled the need for KPF's.

Another reason perhaps for keeping Hogan for 2019 if we don't get what we want as the fashion could change again with the WCE victory

Sheil a GWS reject? I guess your more qualified than eighteen FD managers! ?

If a player has been told to go look elsewhere due to cap reasons, the giants clearly dont rank him as a top tier player. So yes I would say he is another GWS reject. Yes better quality than Jarrod Pickett but still at the end of the day was told to look elsewhere. 

Many others well above him in importance at the giants clearly. 

To be honest he is a B+ type player, not worth selling your future for 5 years out of a B+ mid. 

Further to that seems only 4 clubs were interested not 17.

his rumoured salary offer is $1M+ so he's definitely not a B grader

It's a bit like us and Hogan.. GWS bat deep in the midfield area where by good luck we have 3 KPF's

So Plough thinks a 26 year old Shiel, is worth pick 9 this year and a first round next year as a starting point, for a good small mid, whose kicking is a little wonky.

Jesse a 23 year old key forward who could be anything is only worth one first rounder. Go figure.

Well surprise surprise. I play golf with his uncle who told me weeks ago the family were really keen to see Dylan return home. he spun the story about Dylan being a Caulfield Grammarian, who idolised Judd and barracked for Carlton. He said he didn't know who was the preferred club but as a staunch Bombers fan, he sincerely hoped that Dylan would choose the Dons. We looks like my golf mate got his wish, and I will be asking lots of questions this Friday.

Haven't you learnt yet, our club must be punished and then stoned to death. We aren't allowed happiness or good outcomes.

It's seriously important to take any opinions in the press with a grain of salt.  Plough thinks this but Treloar was traded for 2 pick 7's and a swap back of some picks. But Hogan is a once in a generation key forward who is tracking better than any of the great key forwards but is only worth a single first rounder. 

I really don't understand the thinking.  Most of the people on Trade Radio are a complete waste of time. 

I'm just going to wait till 17 Oct 8.30pm or when there's any other official news.

Tom Boyd, Tom Scully & Kurt Tippett all players who have had a million plus salary and aren't A grade players. 

Sheil is a decent player don't get me wrong, however I really dont think he will be missed a GWS, and his disposable isnt crash hot.

Shiel has played some excellent football, but his 2018 was very average.

I've no problems with him going to Essendon as I think it'll take a lot more than Shiel to see them make the required improvement. 

However... we all now need to brace ourselves for another summer of the media shoving Essendon premiership articles down our throats after yet another 'trade coup'.

As a general rule, I don't believe anyone in the press....or clubs, players or managers, they're all spin masters. If they say one thing, I assume the opposite.

Essendon's financial offer to Shiel was signficantly lower than the other three clubs and he will be paid well under $1 million dollars next year.

Really! 

I get why players like Dusty and Gaff forfeit really big bucks to stay at a club they love and are loved by all there.  And, I get why Shiel would spurn the advances and big bucks from Saints and Blues - clubs doing poorly whose coaches may not be there too much longer. 

But to choose Ess and a lot less money over premiership candidate Hawks is beyond me!  Ess must have their own stash of brown paper bags!!!!

Who doesn’t love a free trip to Noosa, that goes on the Blues soft cap number haha.

I would have jumped at it. I suppose I laugh because it’s just so cheesy and over the top. I pictured Shiel getting to Noosa, opening the door to his room and Judd sitting there at the table in a suit. If the limo and private jet haven’t gotten him over the line, Judd waiting in his room wearing a suit will surely will. Great work SOS and Co.

Less than $1m this year but how much more than $1m the next few years?

Pretty sure the deal is significantly less overall. 

Latest spin is the lure of a premiership is what sold him...

Nah, I like the brown paper bags theory and @M_9 's reminder of their billionaire ex President... ?  

...who probably has lots of private jets to fly Mr Shiel around...

    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.
