  • 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.

Dude wears hipster specs with his Collingwood tracksuit. He should be waterboarded in a pool of Danish-based Apple cider for that.

I still like the idea of trading Martin for Wellingham.

Just because he wants to go back to WA doesn't mean he will.

End of the day it comes down to who has the rights to his contract and I doubt Collingwood will give it up cheap.

Ok pick 17 seems to have just been tabled by WC according to rumors.

Have barely head a peep from the MFC so far, so much for 'Leaving no stone unturned'

West coast are offering pick 17. Will we think wellingham at pick 13 is paying overs?

Presumably your getting this rumour (pick 17) from the fb page.

The trade period does not start for another week. FFS

It seems he's keen to head back West... Q stick perhaps going to Collingwood, not sure how they will afford him though?

Two articles have suggested there was initially lukewarm interest in him in WA. Word is he is pretty connected to Melbourne (the city) now days.

If WC offer pick 17 Id go with pick 13 in a heartbeat - if they were going to offer it for Caddy then definately worth using it and maybe Pettard for him.

Both of my Brothers know Kennedy's Father. My eldest Brother played at Hawthorn with him. They're p1ssed off at Clarkson to this day. Josh didn't want to leave, but was offered a 1 year contract and told he'd have minimal opportunities. He didn't leave for dollars.

He left for sense.

Meth Coast for years have had a philosophy of not giving away trade picks, they will not give away their first pick for Wellingham!

Agreed, also West Coast do not need another midfield type player.. with players like Gaff, Shuey, Embley, Rosa,Kerr still going, Masten starting to deliver, Priddis and Scott Selwood. There is a very long shot they are going to give away a pick.

That is true, although I'm sure that with the free agent period open I'm sure other discussions can be happening. IIRC Carlton and Melbourne agreed to the McLean trade before the official opening of trade week.

I think that pick 13 is overs for Welligham and I would rather chance our luck in the draft. I actually think that pick 17 is overs as well, but, due to West Coast being on the verge of a flag, they can afford to pay a bit too much for a ready-made top up instead of waiting a couple of years for a kid to come on, a luxury we can afford.

You have got to be kidding.

WTF.

lol your hilarious...

They actually said they would leave no stone unturned in reference to FA...so not sure why you are referring to trade week.

I guess simpletons do get confused easily...though in your defense this thread is about Wellingham who isn't a FA so I will have a whinge about or lack of action so far in FA in a more relevant thread.

Dan Richardson (Byrnes manager) said he is leaving Geelong and it's well documented that Melbourne are very keen so I wouldn't expect any issues for Shannon.

Cant agree with that - he is a worthy pick 13 and unlike a draftee he has proven he has speed, spread and ball smarts. Our luck with drafte choices hasnt been great for mine. He is worth the coin.

I heard that Shannon Byrnes is staying as well but someone else posted on a facebook page that he is definately signing with the dees... Also heard rivers has lodged papers with Brisbane... its all happening and none of it good for us thus far...

Me confused. Has Byrnes manager said:

A - Shannon is staying at Geelong

or

B - Shannon would like to pursue options elsewhere

    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,
