  • 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.

5/7/83, 186cm, 86kg,75 games, 42 goals.

Relieved he has gone to the Saints because we were being linked to him too! The Saints feel they are in the window and know they lack pace and running power and the additions of Lovett and to a lesser extent Peake address this. They should get a pick in late first/early second for Ball - not much of a loss for mine - or perhaps another quick runner like Wellingham.

Looks like the Saints are rolling the dice in the hope they can win it all in 2010. Selling the future for a flag, hell I would be wanting us to do the same if we were in their position.

Peake and Lovett add some depth, if they can keep Luke Ball or gain something solid in return then the saints will have had a successful trade week.

They dont want Peake and Lovett for depth. They want pace. They have offloaded downhill skiers in Milne and Clarke. Can they offload Ball? They would prefer to.

Pies have only pick 30 left unless they can trade someone of decent merit. Davis would struggle to get beyond a mid 2nd round pick.

Although i am happy we didnt get Peake i think he will benefit the Saints with his speed

Lyon would have learned alot in the last 8 weeks of the season about his list

This smacks of desperation to me.

But it's the time for that I guess - their window is ajar and they need to win before Riewoldt's knees slam it shut.

Peake is depth, waste of money. Lovett is gold, if you can tame him. But if you can't, he's fool's gold.

They're not out of contract, but given thier performances in the finals and the GF, I'd imagine they are out of favour and will spend alot of next year playing at Trevor Barker Oval

I often wonder why more clubs don't trade late picks for a player. Statistically, I would have thought that Peake (on his exposed ability plus whatever improvement the saints think they can get) has better prospects and is likely to be better than most picks in the late 40s.

Agreed, especially in a year where they are expecting a shallow draft. The only reason I can really think of is that sometimes it has more to do with wanting to offload players for list management reasons. I wouldn't mind if the dees were to offer picks 50 & or 66 to have a gamble on an available player who may not have lived up to his potential at a previous club. Just as much speculation as the draft really.

It is funny how of a bad of a footballer Peake was made out to be when his name was mentioned on here a while ago, yet he is good enough for the saints.

I still think he's rubbish regardless of where he's gone. Like others have said, glad it's them and not us.

No it has not been proven that he is good enought to play for the Saints. He is a speculative pick

Is he any worse than the bottom four on the Saints list?

The Saints time is now. They will trade picks now for their window is now. We are not in that predicament and I dont see the need for MFC to punt a player who at best could 2 years of mediocre service.

    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

    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,
