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.

The majority of you are completely misrepresenting what Carey said.

He said basically that:

- draft picks are no good for Carlton. They have had plenty of no 1 picks and they are still where they are. And when Murphy, Kruezer and others retire these draft picks will be thrown to the wolves.

- They would be better trading the pick 1 for a bunch of ready made players that can have an immediate impact and protect the likes of Curnow, McKay, etc

He used an example of Melbourne which perhaps wasn't the best saying Tyson, Frost and Bugg weren't getting games and could be a potential swap but other than that it's a completely logical solution to their mess if any club would do it.

Yep, that is what he said, I personally don't like the bloke but he is allowed to have an opinion I have heard a lot worse than this.

You and your calm, accurate recollection of events. I want the crazy pipe dream of getting pick 1 for three players. ?

On talking footy Wayne Carey came up with a solution for Carlton No1 pick.

Trade it for Frost, Tyson and Bugg (all ex GWS we all know SOS loves GWS)

Is he out of his mind? or are in with a shot of getting Walsh?

Imagine Gaff and Walsh on  our wings. (It's got my tent up)

Thoughts?

No. no he's not.

 

I think, 'if you think about it', he's talking about trading the number 1 pick,,, just like we did under Roosy.

So trading down the First 2018 Draft pick, on a number of picks above P25.

Then trade some of these picks for some maturity.

In a topline draft, I would prefer 5 top 30 picks,,,,, than one pick in the top 5.

Wayne also rates Grundy ahead of Gawn, and said to Lingy ,who is on the all Australian committee, that Grundy should be a certainty for all Australian Ruckman.

So do I.

Grundy is better around the ground consistently, than Maxy.

 

Maxy needs to improve around the ground, particularly taking marks in big numbers.

Carlton aren’t tanking for Frost, Bugg and Tyson. 

exactly... they do not mind hanging coaches out to dry, over at the Old Prince's Park_

....  whilst they put young guns into hibernation. 

Controlling their ladder position,,,  and the public perception of they're list's condition.

 

They need an NJones type, a Roughhead type, a Zac Jones type. etc.

Have to agree to disagree there .

The position is “Ruckman” and Max has more hit outs and more hit outs to advantage.

He also marks very well around the ground and is more of a forward option than Grundy. Covers just as much ground.

Many scribes have him not only as the best Ruckman but all The coaches rate him , currently leading the coaches votes and is a Brownlow favorite, being top three of most media awards.

Anything short of 8 marks for a player like him is unders.

He's improved marginally, at taking marks inside F50.  He is capable of SO much more than that.

Its time we stopped allowing ruckmen to NOT take marks in numbers.  Has to change.

Would you? It stands as a terrible deal for both teams. The team that finished last brings in three start-up top 22 players that won't make them much better, and lose a top 1 pick. 

Melbourne lose experience and depth for an unproven kid.

What makes you think we would take a kid with the number one pick rather than use it to trade in some speed and clean ball skills to the list?

Regardless of what Carey said we need to get back in the draft somehow. Package some fringe players up to a Gold Coast and get back in.

Gold Coast would be frothing over a deal like this.. We wouldn’t be happy, I don’t know why posters think other clubs would be. Gold Coasts’ issues stem from a lack of leadership and top end talent, they don’t need more fringe players.

They need players if there stupid enough to except well thats their problem. Worth asking the question tho....

What if we added Stretch and Hunt to the Tyson, Frost and Bugg deal? 

Would that get them interested?

Rubbish I'd rather win an AFL premiership than VFL premiership. Walsh will make it he's a gun. In our best 22 easily.

Not even Stephen Silvagni  (who  is probably the wort list manager in the AFL) would give up Pick 1 unless he got back a Hogan or Petracca.

Im pretty sure it would ,but not for me although I get where you’re coming from.

We just saw Stretch and Frost plays decent games after having to wait along time for their opportunity.

We’ve also seen Tyson and Bugg produce for us over time.

Proposed action would  the heart out of our young group and we owe Carlton zero.

Maybe a couple on our list to the Suns might work. They need leadership , experience and direction.

    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
