    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 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.

Is it a foregone conclusion?

Will we pick up Jack Watts in the National Draft as it has been widely tipped? Or will it be Naitanui or Rich?

Or will Melbourne somehow lure Warnock from Fremantle from the financial grip of Carlton (commonly referred to as VISY Blues in some circles)?

If you had a wish list what would it be (ie like a list for Santa) come trade and draft time, what would it be?

Here's my list: -

TRADE: - Green & Pick 35 to Bulldogs for Pick 14 in return.

Daniel Bell and pick 67 for Adam Thompson (Port Adelaide)

DRAFT: - Picks 1, 14, 17, 19, 51

Pick up Watts, Zaharkis, Blease, Vickery (not necessarily in that order) and fluke quality with 51 somehow.

PSD: - Robbie Warnock!

GO DEES!!

Why would we trade Wonaemirri.

FFS, why does everyone think just because a player is a decent performer he should be traded. We need a core group of players to build our young squad around. There is no need to trade Green, Wheatley, Sylvia, Wonaemirri just for the sake of it. I was completely for Travis Johnstone's trade. It was a good offer and the right time to part with Trapper. And If it were to be the same situation for one of the players listed above I wouldnt mind but we cant just throw them away.

And why Podisadly, he's a decent player who has consistently done the job at VFL level but do you not understand the word youth. Google it, you might learn something.

1 - Jack Watts. We need a forward before a ruckman.

17 - David Zaharakis. Will probably be the best midfielder available at this point.

19 - Mitch Banner/Aaron Cornelius. Depending on where we want to go, these two will both become excellent performers.

35 - Jordan Roughead. I can see him slipping back this far. We need a ruckman.

Why the hell does everyone seem to think any trade we do will involve a pick and a player for a higher pick????WHY!!!And Wonaeamirri???? Yeah, lets give up a good little player for nothing. And Brad Green? Sure, if he doesnt sign,shop him around for the best pick.IMO he should be the next skipper so why trade him???

It's a good way to upgrade picks and in a valuable draft like this (Not only quality wise, but because of GC17 in years to come) we need to grab any decent picks we can get.

Is Didak worth considering , or Brad Fisher from carlton . Both may be on the trade table .

Didak in some quarters has been tipped to stay at the filth. However, recent talks with Ben Cousins with Mick Malthouse - allegedly - may or may not depend on Didak staying. Rhyce Shaw could be another development.

Edit: In relation to who may be on the trade table. Not insinuating that Melbourne should chase Didak or Shaw.

We dont need Didak. His an excellent player, but his off-field profile is not something the MFC need.

Brad Fisher is a so-so player. Reliable for a goal but very ineffective most of the time.

No to both.

Why would we pick up a 27 or 28 year old from the VFL (podsiadly)? Absolutely ridiculous, it does not fit in with our YOUTH policy for starters and the fact he has been on about 4 rookie list tells me he is not up too it. :wacko:

Quite right. Podsiadly has been playing a number of years now at VFL level. If you were going to pick him up it would of been 4-5 years ago, even longer.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
