  • 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.


Bulldogs want pick 2 or 3

I find it amusing when clubs like Carlton say that we will trade Gartlett out but then I hear from their supporters he is worth a 2nd rounder.

It's a bit like us with Blease - we will facilitate a trade for him - we can't ask anything unrealistic for him as clubs know we are going to delist him.

Cooney's knees problems are well publicised - even by his own club - the only use he is, is if we get injuries to players ( beside knees) - we can use him for spare parts.

Adam Conney and pick 5 for pick 2 and 3 has been offered by the dogies.

An old injury prone ex blown low winner who has 2 year left in him for 2 10 year players.

No thanks

are you kidding?

was this a real offer or some fb/forum dreamer?

source?

The likes of Blease/Tapscott/Evans and a host of others would be sweeteners to deals - nothing more.

No, thanks. I'd prefer to keep pick 3 than get rid of one of our list cloggers and gain a mediocre opposition player.

Disagree on Hrovat. Reckon he's a good young player. But can't say I blame anyone for wanting to keep 2 & 3.

I'm cool to trade both picks, in fact, I hope we do. I just want to net something a bit better than Hrovat. : )

Pretty sure your source for this was a 'suggestion' on BigFooty, and, if so, the suggestion was for pick 2 OR 3, not both.

Still, a hilarious thought. Cooney has no value whatsoever anymore.

I read it the afl website in the trade radio part.

name being thrown around a lot is Nathan Hrovat

the kid is 174 centimeters according to footywire

Hed wanna be bloody good if we are moving down 3 places at the top end of the draft for a midget

I honestly just don't rate Hrovat enough for him to be the catalyst for this trade, but struggle to think who else they'd offer.

Clay Smith? Underwhelmed.

Wallis likewise, and when would a club ever trade a father-son?

Not only father/son but also legend grandfather/grandson - one J Kennedy.

LOL, Bulldogs fans won't even entertain a trade where we give them pick 3 in exchange for one of their young midfielders, and they keep pick 6.

Apparently the likes of Stringer or Macrae are worth picks 2 & 3. More delusional than Colonwood.

Yeah, someone else said this - but the difference is that JPK wasn't getting a game and wanted to go, while Hawthorn weren't willing to match Sydney's offer and reluctantly traded him.

Hawthorn didn't offer him up in an effort to get a higher draft pick to get a KPF.

Not comparing apples with apples here.

Dogs supporters be like pick 3 and jones for 6. Final offer

I'm warming to hrovat and 6 for 3. I feel he slid in his draft year and was a good clearance player for metro. Reasonably good disposal eff. Only knock is his height and would a centre bounce of hrovat and viney be too short

Particularly, as Roos has flagged multiple times the interest (and preference) he has for bigger, taller bodied mids.

    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.

    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
