    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.

Stringer and 6 or NO key forward. Next

Fitzpatrick as a sweetener? Still win/win

Then pick 3 to swans for Mitchell and Membrey. Membrey to replace fitzy..

The only player of value that they would trade is Hrovat, who doesn't match Roos want for bigger bodied mids.

Stringer, Mcrae, Libba etc. are the future of their club, we wouldn't trade Tyson, Viney or Hogan for a 3 pick upgrade + 2nd rounder.

As others have said, it will likely be pick 3 for pick 6 and 26 if it happens. If they get a band 2 compo pick (end of 1st round) for Higgins we'd be asking for that (but it's likely to be band 3 - after 2nd round pick).

We would then on-trade or package the Higgins compo for an experienced player.

If they can figure out a way to get Greenwood from North and convince him to come to us or work it into a 3-way trade I'd do that. They can probably use either one (or both - though probably too much) of their second round picks to get Greenwood then on trade him to us with 6 for pick 2.

Yes please. Like the idea of Greenwood paying for us next year. Strong, solid mid.

But a decent KPF is also "the future of their club". And if they get one, they won't even notice having 5 potentially A-grade mids instead of 6.

Do they have anybody on that rung between Stringer/Macrae/Libba/Bont and Hrovat/Wallis?

Too late. They already have pick 26... assuming they don't pick up a FA.

How bout this:

Pick 27 (Western Bulldogs as per your scenario above) for Merrett & Pick 36 (Geelong, maybe even snag a Varcoe with it, he'd be an upgrade on Bail's role on the HFF imo) for Lumumba or vice versa - (note, pick numbers based on compo/extra picks for Melb, GWS, GC & Doggies). Or we could just go direct to Brissy with a Pick 2 for 5 swap for Merrett, with the higher pick for collingwood giving them Petracca or one of the 2 bigs leaving Brayshaw to us at 3 & pick 5 still to trade for a either a gun young mid or another Tyson style downgrade.

Would be awesome for us, but other clubs seem to be into him too & probably willing to offer a higher pick imo, even higher than our pick 23.

We already have Hogan, they don't. They will need to do something and will need to pay to fix it. I don't think they have the guts to do it.

Forget Hrovat, he's not of that value.

The Age article indicates the Pies and Dogs are into him - Richmond were enquiring but didn't really go any further. Both us and Footscray will have picks before Collingwoods second rounder.

Is Greenwood and North's Pick 15 a possibility for Pick 3?

Gives us Pick 2 - Brayshaw ? Petracca

Greenwood

Pick 15 (say Weller/De Goey)

(Maybe a swap of picks later in the piece)

I'm all for downgrading one of our earlier picks ala the Tyson deal, but 3 to 15 seems a large jump for mine.

Would havee thought Greenwoods value to be around early second rounder, recon 26 would do it?

Trade 3 for 6& 26, on trade to roos.

Although they'll prob ask for our early second rounder, hopefully we don't have to spend that one on the little Ironman :P

I dont really understand why the Dogs want to trade down anyway? Assuming Lions trade their pick 5 to the Pies for Beams the Dogs still get one of McCartin or Wright as you'd assume the Pies would use the pick on a mid with Moore in the bag.

Edit - actually I guess the risk is we trade the pick to someone else who is after a KPF.

Greenwood has had one good season, was nearly on the scrapheap a year ago. He's saved his career but is he really worth pick 3? I wouldn't have thought so.

I agree, we shoulda coulda got him then for nothing but we didn't, nor did any other club.

I'm just asking the question is Greenwood and 15 (and say maybe a swap of Norths 2nd for or our 3rd for instance) worth Pick 3?

I don't believe I said we should trade Greenwood for Pick 3.

    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

    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
