  • 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.

www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150234/default.aspx

What paper work? If he's delisted doesn't he need to be picked up in the PSD?

Anyway I'm not as down in the dumps about him as most people, will cost nothin', as long as he doesn't keep Blease out of the side I can live with it.

For yet another rumor that I've heard today:

Gysberts to Essendon

Pears & Cripps (Saints) to West Coast

Brown & Pick 41 to St Kilda

Ray to Melbourne

So in essence Gysberts for Ray?

Lol

whoever is pumping out these rumors must really hate the MFC

Are we thinking:

Gysberts to Port

Jacobs to North

Pedersen & Pick 39 to Melbourne

Use Pick 39 on Ray???

That is the reverse of the Martin deal and if you wanted to get rid of Gys you would do it. We get Ray and Pedersen for Gys.

Then we could trade Martin and 49 to Lions for 33 and keep 33.

On Trade Radio a Liam Pickering (Player Agent) has just said that North was also interested in Rodan. Am I alone in feeling happy about this giving they're being unreasonable with their demands for pedersen???

I was thinking if Eagles want Morton can we try and get a straight swap for Ash Smith. Victorian boy might be happy to come home.

You need to read a couple of the other threads. This was a troll exercise that caught Jay CLark...

What the hell are we doing? Byrnes, Rodan, Dawes on half a mill a year!! Looking at a very average outside player in Ray, a VFL swingman, and Ben Warren!

Welcome to trading for beginners.

We've got a new regime making the decisions. Let's assume a group of professionals know what they are doing until it's proven otherwise. After all, their future depends on them getting things right (unlike us posters).

Like how we assumed the group of professionals of the last 5 year would work and knew what they were doing?

I don't think we have to assume they're doing whats needed, as this infers we're all worried about the direction, of getting cheap mature players onto our list, as we jettison some young ones who haven't put in.

I think there are many here who are happy we are grabbing some mature types who can take the wheel & charge a new direction, as our kids relearn they're ways.

I, for one am happy with this sudden change, But would have liked to have had P13 or P20 still available for the draft. But all in all, am relieved on our direction so far.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
