  • 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 am coming around to the Baghdad Bob way of thinking on deals. That basically is if you get what you want, the actual specifics of the deal is not important. For example, if you want a particular pla

So apparently Bernie has put a full time real estate career on hold to accept some sort of role with the MFC next year. ...filling the water bottles according to the man himself. Good news.

Tony Sheahan reporting on Twitter Beames to Collingwood a done deal, they will have a formidable midfield next year..

few top teams looking like having a nice trade period. 

Did he tweet what the Lions will get back?

According to Tom Browne on 7 news an hour ago Beams will officially request a trade to the Pies tomorrow. 

Fagan was shocked to hear the news on Friday and 48 hours later a deal is done?

Beams gets 18 votes in the Brownlow this year, and potentially gets traded for pick 18. Neale gets 11 and Freo want 5. What am I missing here?

Brisbane don't have Peter bell..end.

Beams will be 29 when the season starts. 

Neale will be 25.

Ceiling is higher for Neale atm you would think. Beams has probably peaked.

So here is my quandry; the Jesse for May + second round pick aside (effectively what we end up with if that deal goes through) means that we have let a load of ordinary players go off our list and done a swap for another (Preuss).  We received a late pick back for Kent and other than that we are looking at a load of other high later round picks that we already had.

How do we go about trading up the players we have let go with this amount of collateral.  The maths does not add up.

I trust the FD, but concur with the sentiment here.

I keep hearing from people that we're a destination club. May and KK are clearly up for it. Have we got a few others up our sleeve and if so, how do we plan to acquire them?

Our Depth needs to be strengthened without a doubt, so you would think Tales and co would have some trade specials up their sleeves.

I wonder if they gave Beams the tick of approval to leave knowing Neale was on the way to them.. 

I'd imagine Neale would be slight $hitty as it's one less top ender in the midfield group...

Mmm, if the rumours are true that May had a look at WB...which is his right of course, doesn't really feel as though his heart is with what Melbourne can offer, aside from his back pocket.

He needs a backup plan, he’s been left hanging all week due to Freo and doesn’t want to be at suns. If we can’t get him then he has the next best option

My favourite part is that Brownlow votes have a direct correlation on every players trade value. 

Better cash in on Angus brayshaw while he’s worth 3 first rounders

I've had the feeling the whole time there might be a 2nd big name alongside May if the Hogan deal got what we wanted, but it's only gut feel.

The reality might well be that the pick 60's in the Kent and Preuss trades are set for some late swaps once we get our salary cap situation under control with the big name deals.

If not there's been a recent history of players being delisted who would've been traded for next to nothing when the clubs couldn't get the deals done before deadline.

Apparently they offered pick 98 and want a first rounder in return.☺️

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
