  • 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.

Offer pick 5 for Craig bird and young zac haha

We may well have pick 6 as well.

I note Rohan is in and out of the side a bit. When Mitchell comes back they can't all play. They make like an early pick who will not cost much in the cap and who can be warehoused a bit.

Let me say before he plays his first game, I am disappointed he is not on our list.

At the same time Vince, Salem, Tyson and JKH were all worth it.

It will be interesting to see how he goes. There is always the ability to get him later...

Rohan was sub last week and came on for about a quarter; he failed to get a possession.

Not sure why everyone on here wants us to put in a bid for him.

I too am upset we couldn't get him, but it was never on the cards given his draft range. It would have been an insane bit of luck for him to drop far enough for us to grab him. I will be very interested in seeing what he can do and speculating on whether we might trade for him at some point.

Wayne Carey gave Nathan Jones a jibe about Melbourne not playing on Friday nights, what a tool.

He'll STFU when the dees beat his beloved Norf..

I certainly don't. Grossly overated.

He should be on our list.

We should've told Zac Jones to slow down mid last year.

He'd of slipped to us in the third round.

He would've politely told us to shove it and that he'll push his case just like every draftee. And his brother would've backed him up.

Would've liked to have him but:

Without the Tyson trade we would've had picks 2 and 21. Without the Vince trade we would've had picks 9 and 23.

Zak Jones went at pick 15. And as good as he looked tonight I wouldn't yet trade him for Salem and the things I've seen Salem do if Jones ends up a better player than Salem it's not a drafting mistake it's just indicative of the gap in development that I hope doesn't happen.
