    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.

Bearing in mind Campbell Brown has a tendency to be a petulant angry little dwarf, I still think Melb should get involved in this deal.

Hawthorn get Burgoyne.

Port get pick 9 and Jamar.

Melb get Brown.

I know we are already weak in the ruck dept. but I really like the dynamic Campbell Brown would add to our young side.

I'm sure he'd choose to stay in Melbourne rather than go to Radelaide.

I'm loathe to lose Jamar, but at the same time I just don't think his scope for improvement beyond where he's at now is that great, in fact, I think he has overachieved in the last year.

Meesen has shown something and should peak perfectly in time with when the rest of our list should.

AND I think we'll end up taking a ruckman in the draft, although James Craig is too short. It needs to be Vardy, Gawn or some other random tall lump of a lad.

And please, if some idiot nominates Majak Daw they will forever lose my internet forum respect (which is a highly sought commodity).

He is a long-shot rookie project at best. Pull your collective bloody heads in.

I'd like to be optimistic and think that Harrington has leaked this to the press...

tomorrow he'll leak that Port are trading Burgoyne & Boak for pick 9 & Simon Taylor...

Ha. Onya Harrington.

What else can we report....Davey, Burgoyne & Bailey went Ten-Pin bowling together....what a hoot!

Apparently Hawthorn are fed up with Williams proposing completely unrealistic trades. Birchall + Brown + 9 was the final straw. Now that Kennett has stated Hawthorn's preference is to keep ALL premiership players I can't see Shaun getting there. The stalemate just got a whole lot more stale.

I think these clubs could do with a cooling off period for a couple of days, plus an hour or so, in relation to Burgoyne. Shaun, nominate for the PSD.

Its a token claim, the premiership players one.

Kennett would trade Burgoyne for Renouf before Choco could even get the words out.

Moving on to an interstate club.

His family is here and loves being where he is.

Would take a lot of convincing.

Deal far from done.

Agree.

Losts of water (and blood) still to flow on this one.

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:

Count me in on that count.

Looks like a little storm at Hawthorn. Beautiful.

Port have a history of being far too greedy when players want out. I can't see either party backing down. If I were a Hawk fan I would be more inclined to want Hawthorn throwing the kitchen sink at Jolly, not Burgoyne.

I think this may be a concerted effort by Port, not to set a precedent for other clubs to really bring a good deal to the table (because that will never happen), but to earn a reputation of being impossible to deal with in a trade.

This will therefore make players think 10 times harder before asking for a trade, if they know there is little chance of the club accommodating their wishes.

Adelaide is a crap place, Port is a feral club and they know players don't want to be there, but if they foster an attitude amongst the players of "Oh well, I'm stuck here so better make the best of it", it may somewhat eliminate the mythical power of the "go home factor"...

Just a thought...

If the trade can't be agreed Burgoyne just goes into the ND with 4 years x $600K and the Hawks pick him up with 9 and Port gets nothing. There's a small risk another club may jump in but realistically no club is going to use an early first rounder on an expensive player who doesn't want to be there. Port is over a barrel. The PSD to us is 100-1.

that all sounds good till we get down to one tiny little detail. Hawthorn don't have 600k to spend on a player

I thought it was only the PSD that a player could negotiate terms?

600K to import a player while the likes of Hodge, Franklin others encouraged to stay together at a reduced rate. Tough sell to the Hawks players.

At 450K Swans (Swans got heaps in the cap anyway) might have a close look at 6 considering they'll get a first rounder back for Jolly.

We'll move up a spot in the draft if there's no deal.

Used to be but it changed last year.

Kennett "misinformed" - I guess it would have been a bit rich even for Whorethorn if Pelchen had come out and said Brown was never on the table. Kennett probably didn't know - if they had any sense they'd keep him right out of the loop.

Port still over the same barrell.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
