  • 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.

A problem for the dees in getting Wellingham is who would the pies really want from our side (that we were prepared to give up) now they have Lynch and probably don't need Martin? Is Petterd enough? Perhaps Petterd and a late pick?

He is only 24..Cool, i thought he was older.

A good solid buy in my book.

Moloney has really cooked himself if this comes off.

Do you need to mention Moloney in every thread WYL....Come on.....Get over it....

Petterd? i would say petterd and our pick 13 or 26

Petterd being of no value at all in this trade

yes. $70,000 is about what i earn!

That plus incentives is at least a lifeline.

There is no doubt Ricky is on the edge.

As are a lot of the 2012 list.

What about 13, 3rd rounder and Petterd for Dawes and Wellingham?

Doubt that it would get it across the line. If Viney goes to 2nd round though I would entertain pick #4 for the pair (with some minor adjustments here and their)

Would net us Toumpas, Welilngham, Dawes, Kennedy, Viney.....4 mids and a gorilla.

Or similar.

according to trade pages on Facebook freo not interested and West coast half hearted. Demons are reportedly firming hard for wellingham. Bloke who claims to know him on Facebook says our offer will be the best and if Dawes comes so will he.

Did Channel 7 news Just say collingwood wanted pick 4 for Dawes and Wellingham?

Want both, but not at that price.

Would be prepared to give them pick 13/14, Martin and a swap of 3rd round picks (assuming Viney makes it through to the 2nd round), but pick 4 should definitely be off the table.

There's still hope for those who want him..

"Mark Stevens@StevoHeraldSun

Strong mail now that WC only lukewarm at best on Wellingham. Won't be Freo either. Coll or Melb I reckon"

Shorly collingwood won't give up Wellingham and Dawes for just pick 14, I think maten might be in the mix with the pick.

If this does happen that would be great.

Collingwood may not have much choice, they have to drop some players as their cap is to small and these are two players who they have targetted to trade/dump. What other clubs have the salary cap room and what would they be prepared to pay them to get them to come across and lastly what would they give Collingwood that collingwood wants to get them. Not too many options available to collingwood, spending money like drunken sailors nuying players looks to be coming back to bite them.... I hope so at least...

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
