    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.

I can confirm that it will be announced on the MFC website tonight at around 6pm.

Those who did no post with an consideration well I hope next time you won't jump the gun.

It is obvious Melbourne are creating a new era of young players. Expect Melbourne to make an aggressive offer to a young Adelaide player from Victoria. There has been no offer, may a repeat no offer made yet but MFC will go hard at him.

I don't like either of the deals one bit.

Everitt is rubbish for pick 18, Westhoff is rubbish, and a top 10 pick is not worth parting with our senior backman and only proven ruckman.

No idea if you're talking crap or not but I like your style. At the very least this thread has been entertaining :D

I suggested over the last month in another post Jamar & Rivers for Ports Pick 8 & 24.

Pretty close!

I would be happy with Pick 9 & Westhoff though. It possibly allows us to use Pick 9 on another midfielder (Jetta) and Pick 11 on a KPP. Westoff is obviously a forward I would think.

I would also be happy to see Everitt at the Dee's for Pick 18. Very flexible in his position and will get the game time with us. Rate him highly!

In saying all that, I am hoping we can trade for a pick between 20-25 for another selection.

It has no baring on the trade notion in this thread but Port are reported to be up to their necks in at least 6 trades. Whether this trade goes through or not, they will be 1 of (if not the) busiest teams next week. I won't bother analysing this trade too much other than to say NO to Westhoff.

I actually can beleive the Adelaide player suggestion. I could see us having a crack at Knights or Mackay, Dangerfield would not even be a hope though.

So who is the young Adelaide player? Dangerfield, McKay, Knights, Douglas, Maric, Reilly, Otten.

Not sure if Otten is a first year player or second. Cannot be traded if a first year player.

Maybe they have offered Dangerfield a Fremantle type deal. We will pay $$$ for you to go into the PSD.

I will take a guess though and say Knights! Goal kicking midfielder. Or maybe Mckay!

Love trade week!!!

this is not true. can't believe this thread has had so many posts. so stupid

Agree 100% Melbourne aren't going to confirm a trade on their site that is dependant on another trade going through first.

I think this is a fair deal.

The russian is worth a second rounder (as is westhoff and Rivers a first rounder (pick 8/9). I think we are being far too harsh on Westhoff - he is 198cm forward, he's quick, agile and has a bit of x-factor about him. The main detraction for him is he has a pretty slight body still, with a zac dawson type year in the gym i think he can be a real player.

I think its a win-win for both clubs - the russian is an experienced ruckman despite the fact he's promised to take the next step for years now despite all the opportunity, he just doesnt spread well enough from the contest the way that is required from the modern ruckman like Cox, Clark etc. I love Riv, he's as couragous as they come (reckless even), very passionate about the MFC and a leader. While he has been injury prone id hope he has put that behind him and id love to keep him. Although we've developed a richness of tall backs (Martin has to stay at CHB IMO) and he has the most currency.

I think the Adelaide player from victoria is Chris Knights. I heard on the morning glory last week that its well known within the AFL community he's coming home next year.

Yep exactly right. Burgoyne for pick 9 is far from a done deal. They don't announce this kind of trade unless Jamar or Rivers have actually asked to leave, a la Mclean.

I really can't see how this rumour is true.

I have also heard talk here in Adelaide that Knights wants to go home to Victoria....

He was quite happy here in the city of wankers.... I mean Churches (did I say that out loud?), was living with his brother until his brother took a job in Darwin as a pilot....

I think it is common knowledge that he is looking to head back to Melbourne.... He still has a year to run on his contract, but that doesn't mean a lot these days....

Would be a pretty exciting addition I reckon....

Very good player I agree Knights but is he the type of player we need. With Wonna, Davey, Jetta, Maric, Petterd, Blease etc, do we need another goal kicking midfielder?

While when it comes to drafting players I agree the club should draft the best available, but when it comes to trading we should only be trading for players who we need.

So this trade is being confirmed on a saturday afternoon

when trade week hasn't even started (even tho mclean deal was confirmed before tw)

hard to believe

Of course it's hard to believe. I think anyone who is posting these "I don't believe this!" posts are just stating the bleeding obvious. Everyone knows that 99% of trade week posts are bullcrap.

That doesn't make the suggested trade any less meritorious or interesting though. Personally, I'd find trade week threads much more interesting if people actually discussed the merits of rumoured trades rather than showing everyone how clever they are by claiming doubt. I know that will never happen though.

If it is Chris Kinghts. I would be happy to snare him! I dont know what we are going to give up though.

Pick 18 has been linked to Everitt, Dawes, etc. and now maybe Knights. PSD possibly if out of contract!

I'm pretty sure a few weeks ago you were on your high horse about people showing there emotions about Mclean, which you interpret as (going into a frenzy).

And now when people try to calm the storm and wave this crap away you say the opposite.

This would be interesting if it were true. I wouldn't really mind if it went ahead. Rivers I like, but I won't be overly fussed if he leaves, and another high pick can't hurt. Jamar has never shown us enough to be worried about keeping him. As for Westhoff, If he were to put on some muscle he could turn out OK. Perhaps our recruiters see something in him that they like.

As for the other player, I'd love to see us throw everything at Dangerfield. He's fast, strong and skillful. There's nothing about his game that I don't like. Knights? Meh. I don't see the need.

Why thank you fine sir, this makes it worth while.

Anyway guys I hope you don't take yourself to seriously about this as I just like to entertain myself, and of course you all.

Biggest stupid thread in a long time, just thought I would start trade week and it's rumours a little bit earlier this year.

I think 2 pages and thousands of views in 5 hours is not bad considering it all just made up.

In a way I suppose you could say I am behind enemy lines as I am a frequent poster on here but obviously come under a different name.

I will refesh my IP address so I can't be blocked.

Love you all :wub:

    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

    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,
