  • 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.

Excellent. If Morton did go to WCE, watch him end up looking like Q Lynch after 1 pre-season.

Pick 13 is gone & is now Pick 20.

Dees expect another top 25 pick to come their way via other deals in coming days also!

Draft wise, Dees confident of Toumpas @ 4 with Wines & Macrae rumored to be GWS pref choice at 3 & even Grundy has come into contenion at that pick if they lose Giles. If GC had #2 Toumpas would be gone, but now they dont, dees have a shot!

it has been said in another thread that Dom Barry could also be part of the Hogan trade , have you heard anything on this ?

I have heard a rumour (supposedly from the mouth of a StKilda director) that Frawley wants to go to St Kilda. Can somebody confirm that this is rubbish please!!!

He welcomed Viney to the club with open arms today

Neeld loves his pace & rebound from defensive 50, may be added as the final piece instead of the late pick GWS has been asked to add to complete the deal.

Will know by midday tomorrow we hope!

My god, this trade period makes our previous 5 year's trade efforts look like Crafternoon gatherings of the local CWA.

(Mitch Clark excepted, of course)

That's what happens when you have a coach who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, as opposed to one being lead around by the nose, by an incompetent recruiting manager.

so the deal might look like 3+13 for Hogan+20+Barry? Why Barry over someone like Jed Anderson Nudge (if you know)?

Has to be 13 to GC for Caddy.

I bet that was the sweetheart agreement with GC to pass.

They will probably announce it later so it seems like it just happened naturally. That's my bet.

Viney and pick 4 wont be sufficient enough to turn midfield around. 3 and 13s is overs for Hogan...

Everyone seems to be forgetting a kid Neeld drafted last year, in Rory Taggert. He hits the contest hard and has a good kick on him. I reckon he might have a thing or two to do with our re-shaping midfield.

If he can get on the park...

Hopefully something like Gysberts for Wellingham is put on the table. We need outside mids.

Pick 20 have much talent in the draft? Any chance Vlastuin or Simpson will drop that far?

Think im just shattered over no Stringer or Kennedy :(

Our midfield is mostly still very young. Grimes, Viney, Trenners, Howe, whoever pick 4 is, Jordie, Jones, Taggert. There's a midfield there that has to be developed. I don't think it's about finding players with talent at this point, it's about sorting our sh*t out as a club.

Ah the forgotten man!! Went to a couple Casey games this year, one specifically to watch him and definitely liked what I saw anyways. He is classier than Tynan in my opinion and showed a great leg hitting team mates.

Cant recall him smashing packs but remembered some great runs (Blease like) and hitting team mates lace out.

Something doesn't seem right to me with this pick 13 business.

How sure are you that it is part of the Hogan trade? It doesn't make sense to me why GC pay less for MD1.

I'm getting a sick feeling that if pick 13 is gone, GC have it. And we have a player that doesn't want to be on our list.

Someone tell me it can't be possible.

Getting Pedersen and Dawes in addition to Hogan is madness. We need midfielders - one key forward (Hogan) should be the aim with the rest spent on midfielders.

Hogan is 17. He's an investment in the future. Dawes and Pederson are investments in the present.

    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,
