    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 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.

The highlights of another dull, colourless day - no trades yet although see below for completed free agency transactions.

Allen Christensen

The 23-year-old Cast has asked to be traded to a Queensland-based club "purely for personal reasons".

Tom Lonergan

Lonergan has been approached by the Western Bulldogs about a potential move to the club. He is contracted next season, but the Dogs have expressed their interest in the premiership defender.

Levi Greenwood

North Melbourne says Greenwood wasn't squeezed out of the club by the additions of free agents Shaun Higgins and Jarrad Waite, despite them not being able to match the offer he will receive from Collingwood.

Dayne Beams

Brisbane says they're prepared to offer Collingwood picks 5 & 25 in exchange for Beams and has ruled out trading any of their young stars back to the Pies.

Exodus

The number of players wanting out of Essendon continues to grow, with Elliott Kavanagh and Kyle Hardingham joining Paddy Ryder, Jason Winderlich and Leroy Jetta in expressing their desire to leave the club.

Travis Varcoe

West Coast says they'd certainly be interested in gaining a trade for Geelong's Varcoe but expects him to stay at a Victorian-based club.

FREE AGENCY MOVES after Day 3

• Jarrad Waite moves from Carlton to North Melbourne as an unrestricted free agent.

• Shaun Higgins moves from the Western Bulldogs to North Melbourne as a restricted free agent.

• James Frawley moves from Melbourne to Hawthorn as an unrestricted free agent.

• Nick Malceski moves from Sydney to Gold Coast an an unrestricted free agent.

A little doggie ran on to the field......and the grass is still green !!

Ho, hum ... we have entered day four of the official NAB Trade Period and sooner or later something's gotta give...

Jeff Garlett and Levi Greenwood

Melbourne and Carlton could come to terms as early as today on Garlett while the Greenwood to Collingwood deal also appears close to being finalised.

Dayne Beams

Beams could still remain a Collingwood player, with the Magpies and Lions unable to come to terms on a suitable trade. The Pies insist they want a young player from the Lions as part of the deal, while Brisbane says its unwilling to let anyone other than picks go.

The Ryder rort

There are reports that Port Adelaide and Essendon have investigated a plan that could see Ryder move to the Power as an unrestricted free agent. It would then mean the Bombers received compensation from the AFL for him leaving. A further exchange of picks would see an adequate deal get done for both clubs.

WJ - the deal will only get done at the expense of the AFL's integrity. If it does, the game falls into disrepute in my view and the damage to the competition, trading, free agency etc will be substantial

Allen Christensen

Justin Leppitsch met with the former Cats midfielder who wants to go to the Lions in Melbourne yesterday.

Sam Grimley

The Hawthorn tall has asked the club to trade him even though he is contracted for next season.

Hawks get Frawley for nothing and O'Rourke for pick 19. Yep equalisation is working a treat. How can bottom clubs compete?

Yes interestingly enough that Chip didn't say that he wanted to see his new Club Hawthorn throw any morsel our way for picking up one of our best players. This is in contrast to Mitch who at least was on record as saying that he would like to be dealing with a Club that gave us fair compensation. I realise that by FA versus trade the situations were different but Chip was on record as saying that he had 'red and blue blood coursing through his veins'!

Pick 3 + 22 + player for Griffen and pick 6???

Why wouldnt the dogs try and make the most of it and say Griffen and 6 for Boyd or Patton and pick 4, after all they have the big power forwards that the dogs desperately need. See how much the GWS want him.

A bit perplexed at what's going on in trade week. Already Thursday afternoon and we haven't got much action. Lamumba deal not tidied up and diddly squat eveything else. Either something big is going to happen or very little.

Edit, I forgot about Garlett.

Interesting. Might be the case. Would like us to give him and WB another option. We have the money in the cap I believe. If money is his reason, he may not want to leave Victoria. Pick 3 would land them McCartin or 2 Meter Peter and pick 21 gives them another in the top 25.

This is quite normal that nothing happens, at least it used to be the case a couple of years back....

The perplexing part is that so many big name players are requesting trades, if this keeps up no one will give a stuff about Danger coming to us next week ;) might not even get picked up on the trade tracker!

    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

    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.
