    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.

TRADE WEEK: Hawthorn may need to get third club involved to get the Shaun Burgoyne trade done

TRADE WEEK: Port Adelaide will meet again with Hawthorn within next 24 hours to try one more time to get deal done with Shaun Burgoyne

Guys, read between the lines...

its obvious that they are talking about Shaun Burgoyne...

All the other 'uncontracted' players are set for other moves..Drum,Peake etc etc

There is no way we will get Burgoyne but hopefully mark williams decides to be a problem for the potential deal...

surely he won't let him go for nothing? another nick stevens? its ridiculous..

All that will happen is Burgoyne will nominate for the National Draft with a price on his head. He will then be taken with Hawthorns pick 9 unless someone else decides to take him earlier and accept his contract terms. I would say that would be highly likely.

Williams is a vindictive guy, of all the coaches I can see him doing it.

Its not the National Draft...Its the Pre Season Draft...

And sure they can put a price on his head...but the hawks supposedly had a confirmed deal of 450k a season for Burgoyne....Given our salary cap is non existent....i see no reason why we can't pay this for an excellent player...

if it was 500 - 700k a season that would be well out of our relms....

Wouldn't rule us out..but yes Williams is a vindictive coach...and let him go for nothing...but i can't see it happening again as was the case with Nick Stevens...

Port need to rebuild and if it came to the crunch, if Hawks offered Pick 9 and Tuck..they would take it...If not Dons offering pick 10 and Lovett....any of those deals is better than nothing....

Maybe Shane Mumford or Mark Blake from Geelong? They are both uncontracted according to Neil Balme

IMO Mumford is best fit for us. Allows us to release Jamar to PA, is the right age and size and will be there or therabouts when the window opens up.

Blake is easily intimidated and has limited impact on games - god I hope it isn't him.

Nevertheless CS has twittered about needing a minimum 12 players to rotate through the midfield. And S Burgoyne is quality...

There's nothing to stop him from nominating for the National Draft, which is what he will do if he really wants to go to Hawthorn. The only way he will nominate for the Pre-Season draft is if he actually wants to come to us.

There you go. Wondered when you'd show up. ;)

Chances good?

Sorry mate,

It's not Salopek because he's signed .. its Berger .. Im going crazy!

(they do look pretty similar) lol

I can state that Burgoine doesn't want to play for anyone but the Hawks - but I have a "sneaky" suspicion that Port will make a stand and send him to the PSD.

His price is $650,000 for all clubs bar Hawthorn as a scare tactic.

Steve Salopek anyone?

Salopek would be rather handy :)

I'd suggest he'd much rather go to Melbourne (where he can command his salary) and know what he's joining as opposed to risking being taken in the ND by anyone.

If that happens, we'll effectively have pick 10. ;)

I'll pay SBurgoyne 600K to get him over the line. That's 150K a year extra. Look after your family Shaun.

Apparently so do a few others have that sneaky suspicion. I wonder who Williams likes more......Clarkson or Bailey... :lol:

Port have no say if he goes into PSd or National draft.All Port can do is refuse the deals that Hawks offer but then Burgoyne can nominate for National draft.Which then if whoever wants him can take him as long as they meet his pay demands.Problem there for Burgoyne though is that Freo & Swans have both said they have the money & room in the cap to take him & they both have picks before Hawks.Thats where we might win out cos if Burgoyne serious about playing in VIC he might have to skip the draft & just nominate for PSD so as Freo or Swans dont get him.There we have the num 1 pick plus room in our cap.Port have just put all the pressure back on Burgoyne & the Hawks but in the end might help us.Maybe we have stepped in & tried to help Burgoyne out by getting his wish to play in Vic even if we arnt his 1st choice

thats our only chance right there.

Burgoyne MIGHT get to play in vic with the club of his choice in the national draft, or he can definately play in vic with a club in his top 3 prefs in the psd.

Freo and Sydney will not give up first round new talent to take Burgoyne. Therefore unless Port re-draft him at 8 (would not put it past Williams) then he will go to Hawthorn at 9.

Has Dangerfield signed with Adelaide, he would be out off contract based on standard 2 year contract for the drafted players

Wow, that would be awesome. Dangerfield is an absolute gun! I hope it's him.

So why would Geelong ditch Mumford instead of Blake?

Anyhow, White says the following:

Geelong's Neil Balme says the Cats will be very quiet in Trade Week. There have been interest in Shane Mumford from a few clubs

He also says that Port are looking for a ruckman and that there's a rumour Jamar might be that man.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
