    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.

Is he not a restricted free agent seeing he is out of contract? No need to throw picks at it if the money is right i would have thought

No he's not. You still have to get to 8 years service to be a free agent, otherwise he's just an out of contract player, similar to Mitch Clark.

If we get trades for class players with our high pick/s then I wouldn't be keen on Greenwood. If we can't secure other mature talent besides Lumumba then I'd gladly trade our second rounder for Greenwood.

greenwood is miles ahead of aiden riley.

You've missed the pont.

I'm saying Greenwood is thriving thanks to the midfield talent and depth at North.

He is a contested ball winner without damaging disposal although he managed a few goals this year.

I'm saying that once we have a core group of reliable, talented and functioning midfielders, we'll have our own second-tier players who will start to standout more.

You're comparing two second rate midfielders without acknowledging the advantages that one has over the other.

Riley was merely an example anyway.

Ummm... Did you actually watch there last few matches? I'd say Norths midfield talent is thriving because of Greenwood... North throw him in the middle so they could release Ziebell forward and he dominated the clearances... He completely changed Norths game... Before they moved him there nobody gave North a chance of winning the the elimination final, let alone the semi... If the form he is in becomes consistent, then he is one of there best mids easily... I'd give up pick 3 for Greenwood, Atley and 16

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Wants more $$$ but does one good season warrant a big payday? We have the cash to offer, and could be a viable option for us. Greenwood easily cracks our midfield on this years form. But, we could we be paying overs in salary given one good season?

If Roosey strikes out trading for your Dangerfield types and other big names then offering 500k to get Greenwood still meets his objective of improving our midfield.

Interesting times ahead.

He should be on Melbourne's radar. Tough inside player that can spread hard at the contest. His disposal efficiency isn't terrible? and managed to get a fair bit of ball through the midfield. Defs would add to our midfield depth and be able to rotate on the forward flanks too.

Well if you ask a lot of Norf supporters on BF, Greenwood is worth a top-5 pick by himself...

I love this time of year, it's the annual pissing contest between North, Collingwood and Essendon supporters to see who can best overrate their mediocre talent.

Ave 25 touches a game, 5.4 marks, 4.4 tackles and kicked 16.18 for the year.

Jordie Mckenzie ave 14.4 touches, 3 tackles and kicked 0.2. One of those behinds being ten metres out directly in front.

Greeneood had a pretty good finals series and would be a handy pick up.

So, our Co Captain missed a set shot from 3 metres out on a 45 degree angle in the NT game this year against Port.

So?........if Jordie is getting a regular game next year we have not moved forward as a club.

NM enquired about Watts some years ago.

I hope they enquire about him this season. I'd take Greenwood for Watts every day of the week. Sadly, North probably wouldn't.

I would much rather we spend pick 21 (or whatever it ends up being) on a player like Greenwood, than Lumumba. Greenwood is on the rise and is a genuine midfielder, whilst Lumumba's best football is four years behind him and flankers are a dime a dozen.

Interesting observation re their respective career stages and playing positions. Makes one think hard about him >>> O'Brien.

    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,

    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
