Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.


Possible 2012 delistings

When is the first list lodgement anyway? Surely we need to start cutting blokes soon

1st list lodgement 31st October.

Now I've read that the numbers on senior list have increased but number of rookies decreased.

But I've forgotten the exact numbers can someone enlighten me.

I've been confused for a while now to why so many are calling for Davis to be delisted. The only reason he hasn't played is because we have Mcdonald, Frawley, Garland, Rivers, Watts and Sellar in the team and he doesn't push any of those out YET. Its not that he can't play, he's just developing along there. He was emergency for a few games and if he got a gig like Mcdonald did than who knows what would have happened. Definitely not a spud.

but one delisting I'm hoping for is Jetta. Dunno if he is contracted but not a big fan.

Is it true that there is no rookie list from next year onwards, but instead all listed players are on the main list?

Not heard this, but I hope so.

The concept of the rookie listed player is outdated and obsolete.

Why shouldn't all players on the payroll at the club be available for selection without the need for a clunky upgrade?

With so many mature-age rookies, the original intention has been lost.

Just to quote myself.

I now believe the 2013 lists will have 40 on the Senior list including Veterans.

I don't seem to find much about Rookies.

It would be interesting to see how mcdonald would go as a key forward. This would then possibly open up a spot for davis down back. I like Mcdonald at CHB but if davis could get a few games and go alright then we would really creat a lot of versatility through the key posts

Drafted as a forward/ruck so I'm very keen to see him down there, hopefully next season at some stage. Loving his work in the back half though.

This is my list of MFC players currently out of contract:

OUT OF CONTRACT: FUTURES UNKNOWN Dan Nicholson Jake Spencer James Strauss Jamie Bennell Lynden Dunn Matthew Bate Neville Jetta Ricky Petterd Rohan Bail Troy Davis

OUT OF CONTRACT: 50/50 TRADE or DELISTING Clint Bartram (Knee issue) Jared Rivers (U-FA)

CONTRACTED PLAYERS OPTING FOR TRADE* Cale Morton Stephan Martin

NOTE: * indicated for CONTRACTED players is only based of rumours, like that of the potential Martin trades and that Morton has opted for one to be potentially set up.

CONFIRMED TO BE DELISTED Brad Green (Retired) Brent Moloney (R-FA to BL) Liam Jurrah (Retired) Lucas Cook (Trade OR Delisted) Kelvin Lawrence (Delisted Rookie)

In regards to the list I think players like Nicholson and Bail will be re-signed (only based on my interpretations of MFC media and Neeld press conferences), I think Bate, Bartram, and either Jetta or Bennell may go, as for Rivers the ball is obviously in his court, and finally I think Petterd (trade) and Davis (delist) will go. As for the others like Spencer (depending on Martin), and Strauss I have no idea.

Sorry I placed in a table but it got messed up.

If we have 40 on the primary list, based on this article it appears we can still have 4 rookies.

It's definitely 40 on primary list + 6 on rookie list for 2013 onwards. (Plus NSW/International/Irish rookies etc.)

There was talk during the last CBA negotiation of scrapping the rookie list and having a larger list, but it looks like that didn't eventuate.

Dunny will be a stayer (as I think he should be). I'm sure I read somewhere that he and the club are close to finalising a new contract.

Thanks Balls (sorry old habits die hard)

Now we know we will have 40 on the primary list.

That means we either get 2 more on board or don't de-list as many as was first thought.

If morton has one more year on contract, the club might as well leave him on and compete for that wing position. who knows he might surprise us, or he might not and we delist him next year.

Lets be honest, no one will over the club anything for cale.

Bate on the other hand is not a bad player, bit slow and down on confidence but could do well with a fresh start.

Cook i don't care about so much.

But i thought Davis showed some real talent in his debut game, i think he played a couple of games early this year?

He looked good in the air, big guy, competitive.

I think he could def develop to be a good back man.

does anyone know if Evans will be promoted ?

really hope we can find room for him, thought he showed some promise

only needs to manage his injuries, has barely had a chance to show his ability.

Seems like his back is coming good so it would be another wasted year if we let him rehab on our list then moved him on .

I think he has a bit of talentand it willl be on display next year .

I hope evans is a keeper. Even with his injury riddled year he managed to show some form at Casey with no fitness base at all.

I have said on another thread Evans has a contract that guarantees him an upgrade to senior list next year which was agreed prior to Neeld arriving. Nicholson has exactly the same contract.

Strange contract for the club to draw up, I'd have thought.

You probably recall they did the exact same thing with Jordie Mckenzie in order to have them play out the full 3 yrs as a rookie they promise contract them an iron clad upgrade.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
