  • 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.


How many delistings will we have? Is it too early to speculate?

10-15...same as last year....Gotta keep turning this list over until it believes and works hard

Match Day Hard.

Take away Rodan, Byrnes, Gillies and Pedersen and the number of changes is a lot less last year. I think that will be reflected this year.

We only have to look at results to see that this list does need multiple changes. But putting VFL level footballers with no scope on your list is a complete waste as well - See Magner, Sellar and Couch.

For every player you delist you have to factor in who will be available to replace them. If Free Agency was stacked with talent heading for Melbourne and the draft was deep then I'd be all for big numbers.

Hogan, Draft picks round 1-4, (+/- Priority Pick), PSD, Free Agent is 8 primary list changes. And I'm not convinced yet by Clisby that he warrant immediate rookie promotion.

So I'd say 7-8 delistings from the primary list would max it out with potential for a couple of trades.

2 out of 3 if not 3/3 on Gillies, Sellar, Davis

Rodan or Davey if not both

Tynan

Jetta

Macdonald

Nicholson

Leading trade candidates remain Strauss, Tapscott, Blease and Watts.

Isn't Pedometer on a 3 year deal? Who'd match that or accept our crappy list management and take that contract on board? I'd also like to get rid of Byrnes, but he has another year to go as well.

Davey maybe 1 more year on very little money.

The others mentioned so far... meh.

Why on earth tade Watts after he has announced that he wishes to stay? Not only does it not send a positive message to the rest of the playing group but it confirms to the AFL that we have little regard for No. 1 Draft picks and consequently would most likely waste any PP that they were contemplating!

I would have thought you could add Spencer and Fitzpatrick to the trade bait pile - although I assume no more than one of Jamar, Spencer and Fitzy will leave. I'm not against keeping Spencer and Fitzpatrick - it's just that we know a number of teams need ruckmen and we need a midfield. There may be mutually beneficial outcomes available.

Alf - this thread is over in the Draft Board.

Change your 'Favourites' Demonland link to this (http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/forum/1-demonland/) and you will be able to navigate between the two Boards better.

splitting hairs there rpfc on window vs tab

a single instance of an app can have multiple windows (some call them tabs if the app is a browser)

of course multiple instances of an app also results in multiple windows

of course too, you can't view two tabs in the same browser instance at the same time, as you could with multiple instances

YMMV

I fail to see how we can trade Pederson , the guys got 2 yrs to go after this season, no club will take him for 2 seasons, most teams wouldn't even waste a rookie pick on him, Mark Neeld made some very disappointing and bizarre decisions.

I agree. A total waste of a spot, of money and this years entry to the "most bizarre and/or dhead things to do award "

I dont blame him, I blame us ( MFC)

    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,

    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
