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.

If Roos decides to go for him, i would suggest it would have to be pick two (although i wouldn't want to give it up). I would demand the tigers first pick in return (10-15) and then try to ontrade that for Adams from GWS and maybe our second pick.. this way we get: Dustin Martin, Taylor Adams, Daniel Cross for our first two picks.. Sounds reasonable on face value.. if we then get given an extra pick we will be laughing.. If Dustin doesn't crash and burn that is..

Correct, he's a Castlemaine boy...his family has strong roots there, they have been there for generations...all of them cut from the same tough cloth.

Yeah though when he was about 14 he moved to Macquarie Fields to live with his father and fathers new girlfriend. Played for the Campbelltown Blues (this is why I know) and yeah headed back to Castlemaine when he was about 17 to play in the TAC cup before next draft trials.

He'd be a good fit to replace the Brat pack at Collingwood!

You'd have to laugh at anyone stupid enough to take a guy who has a history of problems, binge-drinking and has a dad that makes John Tomic look good.

Yes he is tough, but there are some players you put "Avoid at all costs" stickers on and he's one of them.

Much rather have Rory Sloane for Pick No.2 any day.

I'd also prefer Sloane, but is he available? Don't think so.

He is very talented and i'd back Roos to sort out the off field stuff, so i wouldn't be against a big dollars offer, just short term rather than long term ideally,

i'd go with pick 2 to GWS for Adams and pick 10 and pick 10 for Martin, if our offer is the best then they can either talk that or he walks to the PSD with a huge price tag on his head.

Macquarie Fields? shudder!! An old girlfriend of mine was the head art teacher at Macquarie Fields high school... she was always coming home with horror stories about the kids issues growing up in completely dysfunctional families. Poor bastard!

UPDATE: Melbourne has expressed interest in Dustin Martin, as the Richmond midfielder seeks a better deal elsewhere and may quit the club. And it also emerged on Monday that the Tigers were no closer to securing another midfielder, Reece Conca, on a new contract.

Martin informed the club Monday he intended to "pursue other opportunities". He is out of contract but is not a free agent.

The Tigers had offered Martin a two-year deal worth about $1 million to remain, and were confident he would re-sign, despite earlier rejecting an offer. But it’s understood his manager Ralph Carr wants $600,000 a season.

Demons' general manager of football Josh Mahoney confirmed the rebuilding club under new coach Paul Roos had held discussions with Carr.

‘‘We did inquire about Dustin’s intentions. We are waiting to hear back from them about his intentions before the club discusses any next steps,’’ he said.

The Demons could snare Martin in a trade for their No.2 pick in the national draft. Greater Western Sydney, which this year denied interest in Martin, could also join the chase.

That's why they call it the silly season!

Chippy I am fairly confident that you cannot write that sort of contract.

The players union I believe bans clauses that say all is void if you do XYZ.

I don't believe you can add a " D Head " clause

Didn't Fev have certain conditions applied to his contract?

i'd go with pick 2 to GWS for Adams and pick 10 and pick 10 for Martin..

I may have missed something strange, but since when does GWS have pick 10? I've seen this posted dozens of times on Demonland and do not compute. Even if they did, that's a pretty hopeful deal from a Melbourne perspective.

I don't think so.

They would have had 20 reasons to sack him if there was any.

I am not certain of this but I remember when he was trying to get a gig after Brisbane.

I seem to remember an agent making the comment that it was not allowed under the player agreement.

    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
