    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.

give the man a cigar for outstanding perspicacity :lol:

I just replied because I love that word. awesome!

Goodness me, is Dangerfield a Demon yet? I can't keep opening this thread. Just cut out the middle man, give Adelaide 2, 23, Trengove and Toumpas for Dangerfield, Lyons and 10, then hurl 3 and 10 to Collingwood for Beams and 48, then 48 to GWS for Frost, Clark on his bike for Lumumba and 55, head to the draft with 55 and change for Stretch and Jetta. Robert's your uncle, Franny's your aunt.

Nice thinking there

So.... I hear that Dangerfield fellow is a free agent next year... at the same time as Tex Walker and Rory Sloane....

Methinks they cant pay all 3 a million each. :)

Acquire Dangerfield this year via trade, acquire another (Sloane or Walker) next year via Free Agency, then finals here we come!

Methinks Tex might seek greener pastures if the Crows stink it up next year under their new hard-ass coach.

Adelaide didn't show much loyalty to his best mate last year, so why should Tex show much loyalty to them?

Don't think the Crows will stink it up they are a decent side and lost a fair few close games this season, out of the 4 who were in contention for the final spot in the 8, without seeing the draw for 2015 I would rate them from 1 - 4 with 1 being the best chance

1. Crows - still a decent midfield Tex on his 2nd year back from a knee recon, Talia is a jet (Gysberts FMD), Brad Crouch for mine is going to be an elite midfielder and I rate Walsh very highly as a coach

2. Suns - all depends on the coach because the right coach will do wonders with this list, O'Meara's knees are a concern for 2015 but with a fit Ablett and Dixon and Lynch continuing to improve and Fortress Metricon they will be pushing big time for the 8

3 Meth Coast - will win the 9-10 games as the front runners they are against mediocre opposition but their midfield will continue to get pushed around by the Top 6 sides in the comp, will be there or thereabouts and given a good run with injury could sneak in, Glass and Cox are huge outs

4. Pies - aging stars quality players wanting out Levi Greenwood being talked up as a trading coup my how things have changed another year of the rebuild next year and the blowtorch is going to be well and truly scorching Buckleys ar$e next season

Stop being so logical. I want to pin my hopes on everyone leaving that club in an exodus. :(

Why is this thread still open and what news about this none existing trade has made it reach to 106 pages.

Because a lack of information doesn't prohibit people from discussing it. How many threads do you see around here that are actually locked?

Their new coach reminds me of Neeld.

Good luck with that AFC.

Hawthorn won a premiership in 2013 despite the speculation about Buddy's future in his free agent season but Walsh will really be up against it next year if all three of Adelaide's FA's stay at the club and delay their final decisions untiI the end of the season.

With the notable exception above, these sagas tend to be destabilising because they are continually brought up when the team and players aren't doing well so if he has three players under the spotlight, it will really test a novice coach.

Although I remain highly sceptical about our ability to prise Dangerfield away from the Crows, I think this is something they will have to think long and hard about in the unlikely event that Danger indicates he wants to leave. That, together with the fact they will not get better compensated if he goes next year.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
