    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.

Jack Trengove re-injures his navicular (2014) - trade deal off

Crows said to be offering a swap for Trenners and pick 23 for their pick 10. Trenners has come currency on the table.

Well maybe Crows would throw in Lyons and a later pick back to get Frost. Jack goes home and we have 10, Lyons and Frost.

It actually makes me sad. But I understand footy is not sentimental anymore.

This is the winds of change blowing through the AFL. We, as supporters want it all our way. Players have FA which has trampled player loyalty to a club. In my mind the players have to accept the consequences of that and that is that Club loyalty to them has evolved into a commercial/business decision. Jack might well be loyal to us in exactly the same way Frawley was. Bled red and blue until FA time and then he could not get out the door quick enough. ( T$... " I want to be a one club player.")

Richmond made an offer and the club and the player are evaluating that offer. I would be seriously annoyed if the club did not work through the deal and do due diligence on it. Take the personal emotion out of it and look at the possible outcome for all involved.

Agree but what's on offer does not seem worth it and Beams to us just does not make sense for someone who wants leave Collingwood to be closer to his ill father. I like others believe that RFC have asked and MFC are thinking and that's all.

Too early to declare if MFC are confident about Beams. This all just happened today, lunchtime to be exact. But it's unlikely he will be back at Collingwood, and it's not Brisbane now. GCS have Malceski and no more big money. So QLD is unfortunately out for Dayne now.

So what happens if it doesn't go through?

I would hope we don't agree with the Tigers and then if all goes to shite with collywobbles.

This doesn't sit well with me at all tbh JJ

Roos mustn't rate him at all.

In 2013 when Roos was publicly considering the Melbourne coaching position he was asked about Melbourne's list during an episode of "On th Couch". He specifically single out Trengove as a player that could and should be an A-grader. (Can anyone back me up here?).

Anyway, not sure this is important but might suggest his opinion has changed.

Trenners didn't have a navicular bone injury in 2013... and it's easy enough to judge from the outside. He's obviously seen something he doesn't like, hence he was dropped to Casey. In any case, if the opportunity has arisen to replace him with a better player, we simply have to take that opportunity.

If Brisbane want him so badly, they really should offer us one of their young'uns for pick 3. ;)

Then package picks 3 and 5 to Collingwood. Simple!

The beams trade doesn't make sense to me. "I wanna go home due to family issues but now I wanna move across the road" Is Mitch the new manager of Beams?

Absolutely spot on.

I wouldn't be touching him with a ten foot pole. Surely we learnt something from the last time we poached a player who had thoughts of "going home". There are and will be plenty of good young footballers around trying to get back to Victoria, I wouldn't be signing one who's trying to get out.

Just hope we don't end up being Collinwood's used problem lot.

ultimately, i'm putting faith in roos i've decided.

i heard someone - another coach, i think it was - talking on trade radio about it the other day and ultimately players are 'commodities' these days.

depressing, but true.

it's all barassi's fault for going to carlton at the end of 64!

what if this doesnt actually become about Beams but show Adelaide they can do a deal....or we'll quite happily look elsewhere with those juicy picks

3 and Trenners NOW for Danger...or they take a chance with sfa next EOS.

The Dees need to play this for all its worth

If this is true I'm finished. I will ring the club and cancel my membership rollover.

If this is true the notion of supporting a club is bullshite.

There is no club.

My heart agrees with you Bitty.

My head says it should be done.

Football is an emotional sport and industry, but the successful clubs tend to be pragmatic and realistic in who they keep and trade on. Trenners is a top bloke, loyal, friendly, leader.... but he has been very injury prone and hasn't hit his straps for several years. If 12 can be paired with a further trade including 2 or 3 then it may be the breakthrough we need to land our big fish. Maybe, or perhaps we will take it to the draft.

I like Trenners, but I've not liked the fact he struggles to get on the park and I can't honestly see it improving.

Somebody mentioned that we are planning to use pick 12 for Jake Lever. Not that l object to this as a replacement for Chip but what happened to plans for Oscar McDonald or were there none? With all the trading , FS used for Billy and Jetta upgrade, will we have any live picks in the draft apart from 1, 2 & 12?

There is nothing in that article that actually says Adelaide are interested in Trengove. A lot of people putting a lot of faith that Trengove will play a level of football he has never consistently shown. If our list is better at the end of the trade period than the start and gives me more chance to see us win more games of footy that is all I care about.

Are beams and lumumba close and If the former is part of the later leaving will It cause friction.

While any player could be traded trenners has been loyal as others have said.

    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
