    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.

Heard again on the radio this morning that the rumour is growing that Melbourne is strongly considering trading it's number 1 pick to Fremantle for pick 3, in an attempt to lure Robert Warnock, under the understanding that both Fremantle and West Coast have the preference 1 - Naitanui and 2 - Rich, leaving Melbourne free to choose Watts with pick 3, hence securing Fremantle Naitanui with pick 1.

The risk / reward of this trade is unprecedented I believe, and I for one think we should jump in heads first...

What do we think?

I reckon we go for it! I don't want to see bloody Carltank take another player away from us.

It all depends also on west coast & Freo and us getting Watts.

Yeah, what the hell, take a risk, be bold, take the game on - DO IT.

Worst case scenario we still get the ruckman we want & a very very good player that is ready to play senior footy round 1 next year.

(In fact, i think worst case scenario is that we end up with a project player with funny hair and a big leap)

It's been fairly well noted in the west (Not necessarily accurately) that they both want the WA boys first; we could essentially snare a player for nothing without losing our number 1 preference.

Could be the even break we have been waiting for!

Yeah........ just one thing - is it even close to being worth it for Freo?

Its a hell of a lot to give up - a promising ruckman that you could get players or draft picks for - only so you can move up 2 places in the draft to ensure you can pick a player you could easily end up getting anyway..

I know Freo are a bit stupid in the trades department, but they aren't that foolish... are they?

For our sake - i hope so.

See my thread "Pick 1 what is it worth". If someone knows how to link it, feel free to do so.

Can't see Freo going for it unless Carlton only offer something ridiculous.

Freo need not to be mindful not only of quality, but also quantity. Trading pick 3 and Warnock for pick 1 leaves yet another hole to plugged at the end of the draft. I'd rather get Carlton's second rounder and a reasonable young player than upgrade pick 3. There is plenty of talent in the draft, and Freo will have the opportunity to get a very good player at pick 3 regardless of where Naitanui goes.

Here, here. Spencer has one thing that Warnock doesn't have and that's sheer aggression at the football. You can't buy that - not even for 400k pa

I know everyone is saying warnock is young and not even that good..big men take time to develop- we've only got jamar, who should go cos he's [censored]. PJ, who is better roaming around the ground, and Spencer, who could be good and looks alright. So we may as well try and get warnock, and by this swap of picks 1 and 3, we essentially lose nothing, and if anything take the pressure off jack watts.

If its a draft, Warnock has to agree.

what he's trying to say is that we will be getting watts regardless if it is at pick 1 or pick 3, so giving up our first pick to get a third pick will not make a difference

Absolutely absurd. Settle down. When did Naita kill Warnock this year and jump all over him?

    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,
