    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.

One from the grapevine at work.

Pick 3 & our 2nd round pick to St Kilda in exchange for Pick 1 & their 3rd round Pick.

Thought process is we agree to not select McCartin 1st up allowing him to fall to St Kilda and we can take Petracca & Brayshaw 1, 2 assuming none of Dangerfield, Shiel or Treloar are interested in coming over. We also then have an additional 3rd round pick to land Frost while St Kilda get 3 picks inside the top 25. They'll trade one for Jaksch with the threat of playing hard ball and taking him in the PSD if GWS don't play ball.

If they are so keen on McCartin then why would we bother?

Just take Petracca at 2 and keep Pick 21.

If we don't paly ball it may potentially mean they bid on Billy, or they take Petracca Pick 1 as they may feel compelled as he's clearly the best player in the draft.

JKH? get out.

yep, all those should be trad-able IF the right offer comes along. JKH is handy but too light & lacks top speed to have a real impact in our team as it is currently.

I've kept the real honest competitors as must keeps, & the talented young who haven't had time yet. such as Hogan, Salem... Others talents are in the trade-able column as they haven't shown enough yet or they could be value as trades for gun picks. Not to eject them, but to advance the list.

most haven't shown enough hunger yet, to get our on-field culture rolling uphill towards the direction of a strong & willing one, that we can all be proud of.

I think they'll draft Petracca.

Reiwoldt is getting on but in last few years they have also lost Goddard, Dal Santo, Jones & Hayes, also Montagna is closing in on 31.

I think they'll try and swoop on Clark or trade a forward in.

Word is they'll take Petracca on the street but anything is possible this time of year.

I don't get this one.

If the Saints want McCartin they take him at 1 we take Petracca and Brayshaw 2 and 3.

Under your deal we trade 1 for 3 and 2nd round for 3rd round but promise to not take McCartin

So we take Petracca at 1 and Brayshaw at 2 McCartin to Saints at 3.

So out of that deal with downgrade our 2nd round pick to a third round pick and pile the pressure of a number 1 pick on a kid we would have got anyway.

Something is missing

Not sure that several have had that much opportunity to show said hunger.

Need to give those who have been on the list one year a chance to get in a decent pre season.

Harmes,Hunt,JKH,King have not had any chance to shine yet and we need to give this group that chance, after all they were brought in by the current football department.

As I just mentioned on the Sam Frost thread, that deal is done (To MFC) barring any left field offers. I also was told Tom Lonergan is off to Bulldogs, Levy Casbolt has obviously resigned at Carlton and it was confirmed that Essendon Players are seriously under siege from most clubs.

Jake Carlisle has almost $1Mil/year offers from Freo & Western bulldogs and even though he wants to stay (most of them want to stay) at Essendon If he was on $400k/year, can you refuse $1MIl???? eg Scully/GWS. Adelaide also want him but not sure if they offering the same $$$$

As I mentioned Goldsacks girlfriend is trying to get him back to Adelaide despite the talk of him resigning with Collingwood. Was told that Players partners often throw spanners into the works and this was a frustrating issue with player managers

Couldnt get any other details about the Dees. (oh yeh it was mentioned that Rivers may be on shaky ground at Geelong??, personally not sure why as i thought he was one of their best in their last final)

Hopefully Dangers partner thinks about what she could do with the 8 mil for 7 years then

Would be a dream but the same source has not heard anything regarding Dangerfield to MFC but my contact is close to a player manager. Not sure who manages Dangerfield

One from left field.

Offer pick 3 if we get it for Chip compo, to Swans, plus another player/pick for Mitchell and Reid.

Then get into Ben Reid, who is injury prone, but with ability like MC. Tell Reid we will give him a fair contract and take a risk, which Pies might not be prepared to do and give him the opportunity to play with his brother. Then swap MC and player/pick for Reid and maybe Lumumba.

Use pick 2 for Petracca or Brayshaw. Stretch at 2nd or 3rd round and add Frost and then with remaining picks, draft or trade for outside mids.

That is a real change to the side. It is a dream.

Bit of chat about my mate Toby Green. Depending on what happens at court on his birthday later this month, he is a chance to return home. He is a bit mischievous at times but an accumulator of the ball and has a massive tank.

Heard that we are über active with Adelaide and the Danger Danger trade is not that out there considering what we are offering.

As previously posted Clark for Lamumba plus some change likely to happen but for AFL assistance if he was to walk. Yet to decide what that is until commission meeting on the 22nd this month. That's when we will find out about priority pick also.

Same with attempting to swap picks 2 and 4 around with GWS with a player (watts) for possibly a sheil/treloar. They are in love with Petracca but we would want guarantee we would still get Brawshaw.

St kilda taking Petracca would throw a spanner in our works.

Roos taking off to Hawaii mid trade week so expect the dees to be busy early.

Sam Frost likely done deal for a shuffle of picks.

The blease, tapscott, Strauss currency will be speculative as they were 1st rounders and like Kane Lucas, may find a traded home. Expect not much more than an old pair of boots like we got for Cale Morton.

Brisbane are all over Peter Wright at pick 3 so don't be surprised if they come to play come trade week. Midfielder and a pick not out of the question for pick 3.

Love the statue of big Jim today. It is great to be a demon!

lots of "talk" about discontent at Adelaide.. Coach in trouble, players unhappy. Bit of a watch this space one I thing.

No truth in this at all..........hmm.

Interesting if true. That whole generation of coaches who were hired 3 years back: Neeld, Watters, Sanderson ... perhaps not working out as planned? The only one from that year who seems to be the real deal is McCartney, and he was probably the least fashionable/credentialed of any of them.

Just goes to show how hard it is to predict how coaches will turn out, though perhaps confirms that the best ones serve a long apprenticeship. Usually.

    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
