Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

At the end of the day we are in a great position.

Either we trade for a big name, or we go into the draft and pick up 2 young good mids.

No wonder Roosy is off to Hawaii. He'll be sipping those cocktails relaxed in the knowledge that we've won trade week.

I quite agree that it is a no-brainier! After we swap Mitch to get HL, the deal with GWS to bring in Frost, we should just sit back and snap up Petracca and Brayshaw, both of whom have the bodies to play immediately. If we miss Petracca, we take McCartin as a mate for. Hogan, no big deal. With Trengove, Salem and Toumpas all coming back off a full preseason, there are a lot of Clubs who are in a worse spot than the Dees next year!

I actually rate Jeff Garlett and am pretty happy with this. At the cost of practically nothing anyway.

One year a couple back I thought he is in the best 2 or 3 small forwards in the comp, obviously dropped off but worth the punt IMO. And god knows, we need a small forward.

With other clubs now wanting to do Tyson like trades (or at least discussing them), it seems to me the braver course this year may be to actually choose Brayshay and McCartin.

I can understand supporters wanting ready made players with a couple of years under the belt, and the curse of our recruiting making us flinch.

As it gets closer and there arent any stars (Danger, Sheil etc) available, Id like us to call the bluffs and go for the young guns.

Jeff Garlett requested trade to Dees

Would you like a Strauss or a Blease with that?

Can you see Him and Jay k cramming the ball from Daws and Hogan.

I'm looking forward to seeing that, Garlett and Eddy use to tair it up

Off feild stuff aside (regarding Garlett and Lamumba)

If we can pick up Frost, Harry o & Garlett without giving up any high picks (keep 2 & 3 at least) that isnt' a bad offseason IMO

A ready to go KPP to replace Frawley, a rebounding Half back and another forward to assist big hoges, Dawes plus two pretty good kids....

I'd be content with that - some experience and talent

Trade Radio has just said that Garlet has nominated to be traded to Melbourne

Good. Im surprised we havent discussed him more on here.

Malthouse is doing the same thing Neeld did and driving decent players away. If we can get him back to his best form for a cheap trade it will be a massive win. Similar to us losing Martin to Brisbane

Hopefully we can do:

Lamumba with Geelong's second rounder

Frost and GWS third rounder for our second rounder

Garlett for Blease

Merrett for GWS third rounder

Still want to get one more ready to go midfielder if possible

Agree that this draft could really set us up. Would like to roll the dice with another key forward as our midfield stocks are rising.

Still wonder what's happening with Cameron.

Cameron is like Danger - GWS and Crows won't let them leave - the'll have to walk out as free agents. The US model won't happen (not yet anyway)

I like the idea of another gun young key forward but Petracca and Brayshaw would be my best case scenario. Most likely we won't get Petracca though

maybe think again

If they want to leave, what about a 3 way

Picks 2 & 3 & 23 to GWS..... for Shiel & Frost

Dees - Danger, Shiel, Frost,

Crows - Cameron,

Correct Id really like to hang onto pick 23 as there will be a nice players that slides down to that pick.

Hopefully we can do:Lamumba with Geelong's second rounderFrost and GWS third rounder for our second rounderGarlett for BleaseMerrett for GWS third rounder

Nice thoughts but we haven't yet received Geelong's second-rounder to kick things off. Personally l believe we should push Geelong for their second and third rounders in exchange for Mitch, otherwise we should threaten to deal with Collingwood with MC and ask for HL and a pick. Either way we get HL and a pick in exchange for Mitch. Don't worry both Geelong and Collingwood would both like to have Mitch on their forward line! Edited by CBDees

Dees - Danger, Shiel, Frost,

Crows - Cameron,

EFA

GWS starts over with Pick 2 & 3 and lose two proven top end talents, and Danger for Cameron I'm not sure would totally suit the Crows. Cameron faded this season, injuries not withstanding. Danger is worth more to them.

We'd be laughing though.

Sounds nice in theory

But why would the Crows want Cameron when they want Danger and have Tex -

and why would GWS give up 2 guns for 2 unknowns in the draft when they want senior bodies?

Plus the players have to agree to it - so good luck convincing them

The NBA style trade before FA doesn't work in the AFL yet - the players have too much say

I like it don't get me wrong - theory and reality with trades are 2 very separate things

Can you imagine what purple will have to say about this... I can see him rolling out the scattergun comment all over again!

Which makes it all the sweeter when it blows up in his face ;)

Both Lumumba and Garlett have shown they are easily capable of being in our top ten players.

Pushing out a couple of marginal 22 players, which is no bad thing.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
