  • 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.

Carltank must also come into play for Tippet and perhaps the Tigers. Still hard to see him going anywhere but up north.

I refuse to believe the Pies could have paid in line with Tippetts expectations and meet Adelaides compesation requirements. It's just not feasible.

I think we are a possible suitor for Dawes now with Lynch committing to the Pies.

Seriously, player contracts need to become public knowledge, as is custom in sports around the world. That Collingwood could afford a huge offer to Tippett smells of complete rort.

Think we will find a lot of deal being done with Dawes/Brown & Wellingham being off loaded to ease salary cap restictions

Kurt Tippet Update:

Tippett looks set to don the black and white next season, with close sources saying he had already met with Collingwood recruitment staff Derek Hine and Matthew Rendell.

"The Magpies are expected to find $1.15 million of salary cap relief - of which at least $800,000 would be needed for Tippett - by trading key forward Chris Dawes and midfielder Sharrod Wellingham and listing four veterans next season."

...

Adelaide believe Tippett will line up for Collingwood in season 2013. Adelaide and Collingwood will speak more over the next 24 hours to get a deal done early in trade week.

The trade involves moving pick 17 they will receive for Wellingham to the eagles and on trade that, and their pick 18 to Adelaide for Kurt Tippett.

That leave Adeliade with picks 17, 18 and 19 in the first round of the draft.

Tippett will formally announce this afternoon which club he intends to go to.

Source?

I didn't think you could have more than 2 veterans on your list? Or has that changed recently?

Apparently it's all about the best offer now nothing to do with going home. Clearly success is not the only component otherwise he would stay at the crows so unless anyone knows officially otherwise we are well positioned if he is on our radar ?

If this trade happens (unlikely), then i'd expect there would be a good chance Dawes would be wearing red and blue next year

A few clubs might be interested if he were publicly available though.... Us, Carlton, possibly Dogs. He is still young enough to appeal to a lot of clubs without good key forward prospects.

vet rules have changed. you can have as many vets as you want. 100k of each vet will be excluded from salary cap.

If they trade Dawes and Welligham they will have find enough. Dawes would be on decent coin.

I reckon its all player manager leeks to gey a better deal from Qld clubs

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.
