  • 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.

This time last year we could have throttled them for stealing Tom Whatsisname but look at this!

Melbourne and GWS cosying up together to do a deal for pick 3/Jesse Hogan:-

Dees circle Hogan

Giants list manager Stephen Silvagni predicted a resolution within the next two days, and Harrington agreed.

I think it's called love.

i feel GWS did us a huge favour by taking Mr $cully from our grasp, and to allow us to posssibly grab Hogan with this compensation, BUT.....

get stuffed GWS, there is still no love towards you from me

I think we should play hardball and talk them down to pick 4.

Honestly, I'm a little alarmed at the idea of us giving 3 AND 13 in exchange for a minidraft and pick 20. Do we seriously think there aren't three players in this draft who could even get close to Hogan? Because that is what that trade is saying. Unless we think there's no difference between 13 and 20 in this draft?

Sigh, I just want the anxiety over, collect the solid midfielders available (or the opportunistic slider) and roll on.

I'm not that impressed by Wellingham - he's a good midfielder, not a potential gun.

I don't want to pay too much for Dawes - I'm simply not convinced he's that great.

I don't want to get speculative about 17 year old players.

Basically, I don't see much out there worth messing with our first round picks for.

Maybe I'm just fatigued when it comes to anything that sounds like trying to outsmart ourselves.

I have a good source, Hogan will be a Demon by tomorrow.

We are working on Caddy at 13, if it does not come off then the whole Dawes/Wellingham scenario might gather some momentum.

Trying to off-load Martin and picks for Dawes and picks also.

There are more sources on here than in your average supermarket shelf... careful with that axe Eugene!

Name the source Eugene.

Otherwise it is just another unfounded rumour.

Happy with this - wouldn't even mind Dawes/Wellingham if it came down to it but not for pick 4.

I'm all for getting Hogan - a gun CHF would be superb, and I know it's that word "potential" but he sounds like a gem to me. As long as we keep pick 4 for another midfield gun like Toumpas or Wines. I hope we're not silly enough to use pick 4 for a Dawes/Wellingham trade. As for Caddy, the guy seems totally overrated to me, and if he doesn't want to come, then let him go to the Cats and see if he can get a game there for the next two years.

It has been fairly widely reported that we want at least one "live" trade in the top 10, i.e., pick 4 (or 3 or whatever is left).

only reservation I have about Hogan is how long it will take for him to do any real damage - 17 year old KPP, gotta be about 5 years off one would think. An 18 year old top draft pick midfielder is generally pretty much ready to go straight away as the last few drafts have shown

Hogan turns 18 in Dec so would be 19 when he hits the ground in 2014, and by all accounts should be cherry ripe by then, after 2 pre-seasons and a year at Casey...

    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,
