  • 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.

I would suggest two first round picks could get it done...

Hypothetically:

We finish the year with pick 4.

Frawley goes so we get pick 5.

We then try to trade pick 4 for a player and a mid first round pick. (12)

On-trade that pick and and pick 5 for Fyfe.

Melbourne gets:

Fyfe and a (decent) player

Melbourne loses Picks 4 and 5.

Fremantle gains:

Pick 5 and 13.

Fremantle loses: Fyfe

(I'd suggest they'd be after pick 4 and 5 though.)

Hogan would be the starting point.

They'd also want out first selection in the draft and possibly even McDonald.

Don't over do it there. It would depend on how desperately he wanted to leave Freo and then which club would make a good offer to both him and the club.

They will absolutely ask for Hogan but if it gets that far then the horse has bolted and they will settle for the best deal we are willing to do, which will still be bloody good by the way...

rpfc want Fyfe!

Or Dangerfield!

Please, jebus!

If you could get him you'd kick Frawley and offer the first round pick plus 1 mil per season for him on a 5 or 6 year deal. GWS might offer more (first round pick plus a valuable player) if they knew he was leaving but if he had no interest in them you'd probably find a way to get him to us.

But the question has to be asked if he gets 800k at Freo (and he'd have to be some chance to) how much more will it take for him to come to us and I think the answer would be bucketloads. The same length of contract if not longer plus at least 25% more money.

I think Freo will entice him with length of deal, probably at least 4 or 5 years. They could go up to a 7 or 8 year deal if they have to. Think about it. The salary cap will only rise and probably steeply with the next broadcast rights. Pav probably only has 1-2 years left, same with McPharlin and Sandilands. Mundy will get a new deal but likely only for 2-3 years as he's 28 and once it's over so might Freo's window.

Freo will likely go all in on a flag now with big money to Pav, McPharlin, Mundy and Sandilands but the length of Fyfe's contract should be so that he's underpaid early then gets his money in 3-4 years. It's how Sydney structured Tippett and Franklin's deals.

I really can't see Fyfe willing to come to us when he has no reason to leave Perth and no reason to pick us even if he did. So it's all a pipe dream. We can bid but I think Freo have the ability to offer him a reasonable deal.

If Fyfe and Mundy both push hard for contracts then Freo might have someone squeezed out like Mumford and Everett from Sydney. Who have they got who's on big money but they don't really want anymore is the question.

First round - throw in Strauss, Blease and the steak knives

Strauss and Blease would only lower the value of the deal.

    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
