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.

Never going to Happen just dumb,

Also Magner should not be played as FP to slow, although Neeld likes him as defensive tag in foward line i dont think it is worth it

Chuck him in the center to do the rough and tough stuff

And we will not trade him not going to happen

Lets trade Frawley I reckon.....he is worth something now and won't be in our next premiership side of 3033 so why not get some value for him...he would be worth 2-3 picks in the first and 2nd rounds....more 17/18yo's the better i say.....

Did you just change your criteria from having 'heart, hard work and ethic', to 'playing every game of the seniors exept one?' as your argument to keeping Magner?

Did you want to add anything else to this criteria before I bother responding or will you just change it again when i do.

I am sure the list management team has a criteria that they need to follow in terms of balancing it. Not perfect but as close to as possible that they could probably have gotten it.

Criteria...i've said nothing of criteria. I think keeping Magner, who's showed a willingness to work for years and years just to get a chance, then make his way into an afl list and then play just about every game for the season needs to be kept. You're the one who brought up Lawrence, who struggles to play casey reserves. = chalk and cheese.

So what you're saying is that if we bring in 4 mids we need to get rid of 4 mids. Our midfield is our weakness. Bring in the best mids we can and get rid of the players who don't perform, whatever position they play.

Just like people who thought drafting Junior Mac were deluded?

GWS would jump on a player like Magner. Good body, low cost and has quite a few years in him.

So GWS should get him because they have only kids and not much else...

Mark Neeld says 'what the frack do you think the problem is with our list?'

Having a balance is important. We see teams get caught out all the time when they don't have one. Look at Carlton who have no fit KPF.

They're kicking it to Betts!

Here are 2 options for making room on our list, one includes Magner. (Ignoring Green as he is on Vets list)

Option 1

Delist - Bennell, Lawrence, Spencer, Petterd

Option 2

Delist - Lawrence, Spencer, Petterd, Bennell

Trade - Magner,

Option 1 we keep Magner

Option 2 we end up keeping Evans, and upgrading a pick

List management may think that Evans could be a better fit going forward, though no other teams are willing to take him and we get to upgrade a pick.

With a scenario like this it makes it worth looking at.

Keep Magner, Delist Evans

Trade Magner, keep Evans and get a pick upgrade.

GWS would jump on a player like Magner. Good body, low cost and has quite a few years in him.

McDonald suffered chronic fatigue and missed a lot of junior football. He then went on to dominate amateur football for Old Xavs as a 19 year old and was subsequently drafted. He was an immensely junior talented player and Melbourne were extremely lucky that at the time he was drafted Neil Balme had several friends who were on the coaching staff at the Old Xavs who assisted in getting him and Andrew Leoncelli across to the Dees.

Magner is a 24 year old who was in the VFL system for 6 years before being rookied. His determination to never give up is no doubt admirable but to suggest that his path of getting to AFL is anything like that of James McDonald or that they are similar players is extremely misguided.

Why would GWS go for Magner when they have Steve Clifton on their list??? And not to mention an abundance of other more talented midfielders?

I'm sorry but they are nothing alike

With this i agree with you with Carlton at least.

At melbourne, we need to get rid of players like Bate who are inbetweeners and bring in pure midfielders. Oh and another genuine KPF would also be handy.

I see Magner as being an inbetweener. His not quite as effective as Jones as an aggresive Mid, though at the same time is not quite as good as Mckenzie as a tagger.

I just think he has value though we wont take a big hit on losing him.

Bate, Dunn, Bennell ect are in the pure delist pile.

Neeld wants mature bodies from what I have seen and heard.

We have discussed this in thread after thread but I can see us picking up kids with 3, 4, 13, 30 and that is it.

We need a thread for trade bait. I am keen to see who people think should be put on the table outside of those with no value like the Bates, Bennells and Petterds.

I honestly think that Magner is a good player who has value and we can do without. I am keen to see what players other posters think realisticly other teams would be interested in without us taking to much of a hit.

Neeld loves him.

Didn't he say something in a DeeTV draft discussion something about Melbourne needing more grunt? That he would put his faith in a grunt stopping Dane Swan on a queens birthday Monday? Didn't refer to his name, but was talking about a late pick or rookie selection. Was pretty clear that it was Magner and perhaps Couch.

Every other team could have drafted Magner before us if they wanted to, and they didn't.

Trading or keeping Magner is the least of our worries, I personally couldnt care either way.

I think so long as the club does the right thing by Magner.

If his opportunties are limitied, be upfront, let him know and maybe he'd prefer to try his luck elsewhere.

He has been a great a pick up for us, can certainly play, would be a good fit for GC, GWS, St Kilda.

I've just looked into this thread. I honestly thought it was a joke like the Jack Watts threads from a month or so back. When it got to 4 pages I thought it must be getting pretty funny.

Unfortunately it is real, but fortunately it's seriousness is painful funny.

Up next - the Trade Mitch Clark thread (he'd have value in the market, and he's done nothing for us the last few weeks)

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
