  • 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.

The Bullies fans seem to think 4 and 7 is a done deal for Griiffen - if they miss out on Boyd.

I reckon they are off their heads, Griffen is 29 FFS.

Hahaha I have my boss (Bulldogs supporter) trying to convince me his a within the top 5 of players throughtout the AFL.

No doubt he's good but he's certainly not top 5, will be 29 next year so he's within the twilight of his career and probably only has two more good years left in him. Furthermore he's had back issues over the last season.

Mid teens pick max. and that's it.

AFL player ratings has him at number 5. http://www.afl.com.au/afl-player-ratings

I have no idea how they measure that or even if it's a good measure, but it is interesting.

Nathan Brown is clearly an idiot, pretty evident from his appearances on the today show.

I don't understand how someone who's not a Pies supporter could think that's a good deal.

I turned it back on, and nearly choked on my breakfast. "If i were Richmond, I would rather get Sam Blease than Jack Trengove".

Who pays these people?!

Lets hope they are Richmond, Blease and 23 for pick 12 and we keep Trenners where do I sign

Amazing that a number one pick from only a year ago can even say he wants to be traded.

Things are changing very quickly.

I really think these players should pull their heads in a bit. They're starting to think they run the game and can do whatever they want whenever they want.

A day on which so much was expected and very little delivered.

Tom Boyd

GWS forward and former number one draft pick Boyd has officially requested to be traded from the club to the Western Bulldogs but the Giants say they will not trade him under any circumstances.

Allen Christensen

Christensen is officially a Brisbane player after the Cats traded him to the Lions in exchange for pick 21.

Nick Malceski

New Gold Coast recruit Malceski is confident of playing in another premiership at the Suns. Malceski arrived at the club this year as an unrestricted free agent.

Jack Trengove

Richmond has maintained its interest in former Melbourne captain Trengove. The Tigers are looking to trade their first round selection (currently pick 12) for Trengove and pick 23.

Hasn't someone said somewhere that JT is going nowwhere?

If nothing happens today this could go from the most anticipated to one of the dullest trade periods ever.

It's hardly been dull 'Gonzo', just not a lot of action from us to date.

Beams, Christiansen, Griffen, Rider, Boyd...just about a bombshell every day.

Trade Radio Update (pre Trengove news)

Brisbane Lions

After snaring Geelong midfielder Allen Christensen yesterday, Brisbane could today add another classy player to its midfield, with Dayne Beams set to make the move to the Lions.

Jack Crisp

Despite the "deadline" passing last Friday for the Lions and Pies to do a deal on Beams, the addition of 21-year-old Brisbane player Crisp to the deal looks like getting it over the line. The Lions will offer Collingwood pick 5, 25 and Crisp to move Beams away from the Pies.

Jaksch and Whiley

Meanwhile, Carlton looks set to secure young GWS forward Kristian Jaksch and GWS midfielder Mark Whiley, with the Blues exchanging pick 7 for the duo. As part of the deal the Blues will also receive pick 19 from the Giants.

Tom Boyd

Despite significant fanfare about Boyd moving from the Giants to the Bulldogs yesterday, the Giants remain adamant that no deal will be done. The Bulldogs want to directly trade Ryan Griffen for Boyd, but GWS says that deal will not be happening.

Adam Cooney

Cooney appears destined to move to a new club before Thursday's 2pm deadline, with the Bulldogs reportedly prepared to pay some of his salary at a new club. The Herald Sun says he has met with both the Bombers and Kangaroos and passed medical tests with flying colours.

Yeah I know, was talking more about the "actual" trades rather than the "potential" trades. Griffen and Boyd haven't gone anywhere yet, Ryder & Beams still haven't been done.

Hopefully we get something from Melbourne today because I'll be disappointed if we can't get in at least one midfielder with some experience.

That's a huge win for Carlton, IMO.

    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

    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,
