  • 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.

Bate and Pick 19 to Essendon - Pick 5 and 39 to Melbourne

Sylvia and Pick 17 to Richmond - Pick 8 and Pick 42 to Melbourne

Bell and Pick 51 to Adelaide - Brent Reilly to Melbourne

OR

Bell to Port Adel. - Adam Thomson to Melbourne

Sylvia and Frawley to StKilda - Pick 13 to Melbourne (Frawley just signed 2 year contract, but I think we can still trade)

You're on Y_M's medication. The other clubs will keep their picks. It won't happen. 1,17,19,35 will be it. Unless there is one trade for another pick between 20 and 30....time will tell.

You've said Sylvia to Richmond, and then Sylvia to St.Kilda??? :wacko:

Yeah! The Medication is good! It's called "creativity"!

I was waiting for the Sylvia double trade to come up. It's obvious only one of those could work. I was just throwing up a "creative" alternative.

Yes.... time will tell. :lol:

only two things likely to happen in trade week

Bentley to the dees, somehow

Armitage to the dees- for pick 19

I hope your wrong on the Armitage for Pick 19 deal. I would hope it's more like Pick 35.

Bentley still a possible recruit. What about Thomson? Is he off the radar?

1 - Nick Naitanui

2 - Steele Sidebottom

11 - Lewis Johnstone

17 - Chris Yarran

26 - Tom Lynch

35 - Jordan Roughead

I won't argue Naitanui.

I assume that Sidebottom pick was meant to be pick 5? Because he's not a top 3 pick. Johnstone would be a good get at 11. I wouldn't take Yarran at 17, i don't think he's the best available and he's yet to be proven as a genuine midfield option, we don't need another forward flanker/pocket, not that early at least. Same deal with Lynch, better options and not the sort of player we need. He's doesn't play KP, he's a 3rd tall and we've already got enough 188-192cm utilities. I'd be happy with Roughead at 35

Sorry, yeah. Have edited it as pick 5.

Also edited pick 11, as we should take either Cornelius or Johnstone (assuming one is left)

Y_M, read this article and tell me if you still want Naita over Watts.

http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/watt...2259188304.html

One recruiter believes that by the end of the year — "if not by the end of the carnival" — Watts will be considered the best young prospect in the country. Another, still firmly in the Naitanui camp, described Watts as this year's shooting star. Another went further still. "If the draft was on tomorrow and I had first pick, I'd be choosing him," he said. "Without hesitation. He's just a natural player, he's an athlete and he's a very strong competitor.

"Nick's an extraordinary talent in terms of athleticism, but there's still a bit of 'see ball, get ball' about him. He's still learning how to find the footy, so that's what you'll need to have a think about if you're picking down there.

Threads like this ruined Demonology. I hope it doesn't here too.

How do threads like this 'ruin' anything? Yes Y_M generally has his head up his own backside, but some of these trades mentioned are plausible and make for some interesting hypothetical scenarios IMO.

He may of been on the Mfc radar, but he's fallen off and stopped bleeping....he's gone "stealth" :lol:

He's shown up on Essendon's Radar though.

Here is a radio transcript picked up from the Essendonfc control tower....

"Sir, we have a bogey, dead ahead,...........it's Adam Thomson....."

;)

PS. Is that creative enough for you?

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
