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.

I'm a bit confused about all the wrist slashing.

Option One:  We trade Hogan to our advantage (as determined by the FD)

Option Two:  We keep Jesse who is an elite talent.

What's the problem?

This ^^

 

So much crap on here, but the reality is that this is the situation. Win/Win for us.

Are the Fishburnes any relation to the Cockburns?

Yes but I believe it’s pronounced ‘Fi’ burns.

I recognise they’reprotest posts as this thread is off the rails. But...the Biscuit humour is wearing thin now. Maybe Stay out of the thread if u don’t like it ? or check in every 20 pages to see if anything has actually happened lol... or idk Start a new biscuit thread? 

I agree. I've let it slide over the weekend when there was nothing happening and granted there still isn't anything happening but if you would like to continue talking biscuits then please take it to the general forum.

Fair enough too. Time to get back to the potential Jessie trade.

Agreed.

I'm left wondering just how much Jesse would still want a trade to the Dockers after they've handled the whole process thus far.

Bell has definitely painted a nice shitstain on himself and the FFC.

what we don't really know is how much he is influenced/controlled by his player manager

So still going to be ~10 list spots available, only one trade done, hope we don't go to the draft with those late picks for depth. Need to get a hurry along.

At this stage we're only hearing about KK and May, so still a lot of draft picks to be used regardless. It's going to be interesting to see how we do this, I'm thinking there's some delisted free agency action coming up.

The above, and -  if Jessie's not looking at a premiership (if he was then the least disruptive course would be to sign-on for longer with us) and instead a fresh start after a personally hellish few years, then the anonymity that comes with Queensland footy could hold the answer. 

Both Brisbane and Gold Coast are well placed to provide potentially satisfying trades from the MFC's perspective.

On one hand you have Goodwin and Mahoney who stays tight lipped and gets deals done to get the players we chase. Or you get Ross the Boss and Bell do everything I can to make a [censored] out of myself. WA would have to be losing some shine.

It's true, this thread was breaking apart, and getting stale.

It's just because we need something to chew on! Even a few crumbs will do...

On this note, did anyone else read Jon Ralph's piece in the Sun? He seemed to be suggesting that Neale is worth more than Pick 5? I hope that sentiment is not shared by Freo.

(All this aside, it must be my sense of humour, but it's funny that we, as, I think, mostly adults, have to be told that if we're going to talk biscuits, we need to take it outside (this thread)).

I have no inside information but I guarantee you this is the number one thing holding up the trade.

Freo were low balling us on Jesse in the hope that they didn't have to get the Neale trade done to land Jesse.

At least this one's not going around and around in circles.

I’ve never allowed myself the “pleasure” of venturing into the thread.

On form, he's not worth a first round pick, let alone pick 5. He's not in the top 5 full backs in the league at present. He's been poor-average for the past 1-2 years. Most believe that's due to not wanting to be where he is now, but there's the chance he's just not capable of playing the way he did a few years ago. 

If all we got for the best young key forward in a decade was an average full back and a token pick I'd be very disappointed. 

Maybe he hates being there....

On SEN this morning Watson said that Freo don't want to make the same mistake they made with Bennell. Hmm interesting comment!!!!!!

 

So why chase a guy for 4+ years, bring him to your facilities whilst he is contracted and offer him a multi million dollar deal? Freo are actually pathetic and if they are honestly leaking this stuff they are dragging Jesse's name through the mud, & for what to get him cheaply? 

Unless something had changed between this time last week whilst he was over seas and Jesse has become a leader of the Hells Angels this is just absolute dribble. 

Bell is a complete waste of space in this setting and is clearly so far out of his league, I want nothing more than for this to blow up in his face.

There loss, if they dont want to pay, then they dont get him.

 

This is almost like going into a Lambo store with $2000 and complaining that the tyres are not any good and that they should sell it for $2000. Complete time wasters, get out of the shop.

If  jessie does has some off field 'issues,' unlike benell, his on field form has not suffered. Which is where my interest begins and ends (with the proviso there would be some issues I would care about)

But I am very suspicious of the rumours.

I'm starting to think "trade week" should be stretched to beyond two weeks to two months for some clubs and reduced to one day for others all culminating on the same day.  That way we will get the same result but Freo will have a much bigger hotel bill to put in their soft cap. And Melbourne can turn up on the last day and pop through a few quick deals.

Perhaps Peter Bell is 'the real victim here'... having watched too many episodes of Suits and/or the movie Draft Day - doesn't understand that they're fictional.

    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
