  • 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.

Of course AFC are going to say Danger isn't on the trade table. He's not. If he leaves it's because he wants to, and they will make damn sure the supporters know that. Hes their best player and fan favourite, AFC will be in damage control if he goes, they sure as [censored] won't make it look like this is what they wanted.

What a ridiculous thread! Danger coming to to the Dees! FMD!!!

We are a bunch of poor desperate bastards - this is a fact. However some poor sods on this thread will pull their dicks clean off if they don't settle down.

Bitter and not so optimistic

For the appeasers. A bit like no champagne from anywhere but frogland.

well to be ultra picky then non other than from the region itself.

The topical analogy isnt really as far fetched as you might think though BBO.

The essence is about the likelihood of someone seen as such a remote chance joining the club. The 'popular' view is that we are some sort of a leper colony and ne'er the destination of the accomplished.

Some , if not the many , especially outside of those who love this club, thought it nigh impossible we could land a coach of the caliber of Roos especially as hed all but said he wasnt really interested in even coaching, let alone us.. He saw , eventually, an irresistible challenge and came on board.

Maybe some players might see a similar ideal and also join.

Seriously..I think its similar, granted BBO you dont

Personally I don't think we have a chance to get him HOWEVER something doesn't add up with this line of thinking.

The facts are that we've just officially inquired with Adelaide if he is available for a trade.

It has also been widely speculated that we've been in discussions with his manager for quite sometime now.

Why would we approach Adelaide if he wasn't open to a trade with us? I highly doubt that we would approach the club without confirming interest from his manager.

Interesting times ahead (apologies if this has already been pointed out, I haven't read the whole thread)

nothing will get done till Frawley is gone and we get that pick

this could be why now the afl has said the compensation

​picks will be done once the player confirms he is leaving and the deal is done

rather than later

as it was going to hold up many trades

Hyperthetical: Crows say yes to picks 2 & 3. Chip says he wants to stay. Deal is off. This sounds like something that would happen to us.

Think you'll find Chips locker combo has already been changed !!! :rolleyes:

It's all a dance. There's clearly much, much more going on than has been revealed.

What I will say... Paul Roos does not come out and say he wants Dangerfield if he knows the answer is no. That is an absolute fact. He would not embarass himself with such a display.

Conversely, if Danger has told them he is undecided, what on earth does the club gain by stating this publicly and putting him under pressure? It could destroy months of work by showing your hand to the media, it's a complete antithesis to the way Roos normally operates. So why are we making this potential trade public already?

The AFL saying they will announce compensation immediately after free agents leave also implies a lot of backroom action from the likes of PJ informing the AFL of our intentions and that delaying announcement of our compensation could destroy a landmark trade in the making.

The AFC coming out last week saying Danger could be traded, but today saying he isn't on the table unless he asks? They're firming their position as a club to make sure they don't repeat the Vince situation where fans were displeased that a club favourite was pushed out the door. Adelaide would be over the moon if they got 2 & 3 in exchange for Danger. Not only does it free up the money to secure Sloane and Tex this off season, it gives them two potential guns in this draft to make amends for their years of draft sanctions.

Quietly confident.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
