  • 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.

Maguire- Gone (does not like Ross Lyon....because he does not rate him)

Thomas didn't either. Or at least not half as much as he rates himself.

Quote:

Either way, get him while he's cheap."

He'd be cheap for a reason- he's a 'C Grader', but people (and the big GOOOOOOSE himself) believe he's an 'A Grader' for the simple fact that James Brayshaw likes the way his nickname rolls of his tongue. Regular appearances on The Footy Show and Triple M radio can't hide the fact that he is a very, very ordinary footballer.

If the people over there at St. Kilda don't rate him, why should we?

Don't believe the hype.

he's a big strong key defender. is young and talented and from what ive seen is pretty bloody good when he can actually get his body right.

he would be an awesome fit into our team because he has the ability to take the monster forward thus releasing rivers and carrol to actually play on forwards their own size.

Don't missunderstand what my post infers about me. 2 years ago I thought Maguire was pretty good but all this poor form & speculation has caused me to question my previous reactive thinking. I'm not sure, so used this piece for discussion to kick off this topic re poss' trades.

We should know about judd within the next week so things intrade will start to unfold & hopefully we may pickup an early pick, wishfull thinking as I'm starting to think we would be better off without having to sell the furniture to stay in the bidding.

Anyone that doesn't rate Goose as a decent backman has a fair lack of footy smarts!

The bloke (like previously said) was coming back from a horrific injury to his leg..... He is hard, strong and able to provide run off the backline.....

If Melbourne missed out on Judd, but picked up McGuire instead.... I would be more than happy going into next year!!

People constantly whinge and [censored] about our backline being weak on this site....

And then when a quality, tough as nails backman is up for grabs, people say he is not worth getting!!

HAHAHA..... Some people make me laugh :lol:

Maguire is a walk up CHB in our side.

Maybe Robbo to the Bulldogs, pick 22 to St.Kilda and Maguire to Melbourne? I'd be happy with that.

Good shout. Dunno about the Bulldogs, but they'd consider it for a 50+ goal per season forward with a bit of an X-factor, even if he is 29 next year.

St Kilda would be reluctant to part with Maguire, i'm sure, but if he won't sign, he won't sign, so an early second round pick is reasonable compensation.

McGregor is a good/average player( weve got enough of those) who cant kick. Bad choise.

exactly right Kramer.

McGregor cant kick.

Bailey seems to specifically want footballers who have good kicking skills. note his delisting of godfrey and ward even tho they have good endevour.

the new Melbourne Demons will be a skillful team.

Dean Bailey doesnt have time for Y_M's love children in average players like Ken Mcgregor. he could only fit into the adelaide side 9 times this year ffs

sherman in for brad miller another suggestion,given that miller from qld, and sherman find hard next year when bradshaw returns as well as all there youngsters

Even though Sherman struggled this year Brisbane will be looking for much more than just Brad Miller maybe miller and pick 21.

Hopefully we can look to get Cameron Wood/Chris Judd before we start looking at Sherman etc.

Maguire is massively overrated

Id rather get Ken mcGregor

LOL, he is El Crappo. Only slightly above Miller.

Henry Playfair

cant get into the cats top side would he be worth a shot:?

Well if our aim is to recruit a complete dud, then he's our man. (PS - we need to get rid of all our 'Z' grade players, not recruit more of them)

We would be getting away with daylight robbery. I like it !!!

Should we be targeting a player who is no improvement on our current CHB? Remember Jared Rivers?

I'd have thought we were all aware of Rivers' light frame and short stature being the only drawback to his being in the upper echelon of KPPs.

In terms of body structure Rivers is a boy compared to Maguire .

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
