    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.

What the hell are Hawthorn thinking offering him up for Burgoyne? He is a heart and soul player, in their best 22, has bleed, will bleed again, and makes people bleed, for the Brown and Gold.

I dont know contracts, or other situations, but im guessing he would be heart broken he is even been thrown up, would definitly offer Pick 34 and player (Miller, PJ, Buckley) to get him to Melbourne

He is one of those players you DONT even think of trading, the supporter backlash from hawks fans would be worse than he who shall not be named

Could easily scuttle the entire deal.

Will cause friction within the club as well as outside.

Brown won't agree to the trade anyway IMO, so really I see it only as a lose-lose for the Hawks.

A very odd move.

Whats happened to this game?

It really just is a business these days.

I would be LIVID if I was a dorks supporter.

Madness, this deal would be a big win for port. Imagine the scrutiny on the hawks board if burgyorne dosn't make it on the track next year after giving up pick 9 and BROWN.

Hard men win games on grandfinal day not soft and broken midfielders

First, might not be true.

Second, I would be shocked if Hawks didn't demand total secrecy on the proposal if true. Given that the secrecy has been breached, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled out on that "deal" and denied it was ever an option

I would have thought so too. Especially as the "secrecy" seems to have been breached from the Adelaide end.

Unless they're trying to exert leverage on Port to settle for McGlynn, by demonstrating to them the difficulty they will have in giving up one of their "heart & soul" players for Burgoyne.

bad move there by hawks, would be like us offering Moloney +pick 11 for Burgs

If true who b left to fall in PSD.Lake signed 4 yr deal today

Well Brown has 1 year left on his current contract so he wouldnt fall through anyway.

I dont think anyone will fall through to the PSD that Melb would have a serious look at.

Yeah, well Hawthorn also wants to trade Campbell Brown; Alistair Clarkson that little infected weasel is their coach; and Jeff Kennet the world's least funny clown is their president, so you can't really say they have sound judgement.

I love trade week!

From a purely football point of view - Brown + pick 9 for Burgoyne is a fair deal. Brown is a decent player, but not the champion that Hawthorn fans make him out to be.

But probably not worth it given the effects on the supporter base and club morale. I've already heard quite a few supporters ringing up SEN threatening to cancel their memberships if it goes ahead

Agree old. I just brought up the Woewodin point with a friend.

Supporters blinded by their love of a player.

Brown is an overrated thug - but he's loved by supporters because of his heart-on-his-sleeve attitude.

He's not that good a footballer.

I still don't think he'll agree to the deal, which throws a massive spanner in the works - which will be very enjoyable to watch.

Good, I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought that way. I also agree there'll be some massive blowback from Hawks supporters. They can join the Fev supporters at Princess Park :lol:

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
