Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Ball for Melbourne in the PSD?

HT, I couldn't see anyone trading for Fraser. He potentially the most over rated number 1 pick/ruckman in the league, With his dodgy knees I don't think anyone would bother with him. He will probably be on the outer at collingw**d in a couple of years if not sooner.

The Pies will either lose someone like Fraser to someone who is desperate/or wants a ruckman for a pick ie. Hawks/Port. Or they will deal Leon Davis to the West to obtain the required pick(s) to secure L.Ball.

edit: I think !

TBH I thought the SCG might suit Ball.

I agree re: Fraser, and he hasn't much footy left IMO.

Astute as I am, I'd like to believe it might be earlier than six years. I just think a experienced, Hard body with pretty good skills will really add and help develop a young midfield.

You hope it is.

Ball's body is anything but hard given the lingering OP he has.

didn't go through!

now the hard sell to convince him to come via the PSD

We shouldn't have to grovel.

If he wants to come to Melbourne, be a leader, get plenty of game time and get well paid, then he's welcomed to. Otherwise he can [censored] off to Sydney, or Richmond, or whoever else can afford him.

Disappointing that we couldn't package some of our higher picks for an earlier one, but all in all, good trade week result for Melbourne.

This could be a massive coup for MFC

If his medical screenings are clear and he hasn't got OP

Then this will do wonders for the MFC in terms of interest

That we can lure a Grand final player to our club which finished last

I know it's unlikely but it would be incredible.

that is all we need to convince him of. no need to grovel

need to show him we are going in the right direction

EDIT: just listening to ross lyon. 3yr offer no longer on the table from them. he doesn't exactly sound enthused about trying to keep him. hard to see him staying

Ross Lyon now on SEN:

25 and 62 were offered, St Kilda wasn't going to use 62 and thought 25 was too low.

Says Ball will go away and think about his future, they most likely want him back, but he has the option of going PSD.

Their 3 year deal has been rescinded. If he wants to stay a new deal will be made.

Don't know why you guys are so keen on him. His body & groins are in worse shape than McClean's ankles.

Will Ball resign with the Saints or go in the psd?

His manager said he will not return to St. Kilda. We will see.

I can't help wondering why they didn't play him and were happy to trade him. Could it be that his kicking is pathetic and he has lost all of his pace?

We've got money to spend, he'll cost us nothing in the way of picks, and is a good leader to have around the club.

Why the hell wouldn't be want him?

Time to pull out one of our famous Power Point presentations :D

    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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
