    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.

Something huge is in the wing i believe ( just a feeling) but this is way more than just kids in the draft

Remember. roos is ONLY COACH FOR 2 years more.

This is the pivotal draft.

Next week.

That he is but he must also consider by getting in older players and getting us a few more wins over two seasons only to miss out on two kids who could end up being guns and seeing us and his chosen successor fall backwards would not look good either.

I don't see us giving up 2 & 3 unless we have some absolute guns coming in which I struggle to see with just those two picks even Pick 12 added to those picks isn't going to get us 2 guns IMO

Pick 2 3 and 12 and toumpus for Danger? And a say adelaides first round?

I have no mail or any info.. Just throwin it out there? I'd take it given the draft is no garrantee!

not sure we need to be giving away Toump and Watts and Trengove.. 1 of.. and I think sadly Jack T is the one we should dangle. I look at Jack T and just think he is not that damaging, sad as it is.

To quote every footballer's fav movie, its time "to get busy livin, or get busy dyin" we need to get busy living!

4 more days of this, then we start to speculate on the draft choices. Good clubs make big decisions to improve their list, this is one. Same as the Bulldogs they should trade out Griffen, the reward for him will be overs by trading with GWS and long term they will win out of this deal.

If we trade Jack we will win in the long run, no idea but it has it's merits. You would want pick 12 plus Richmonds second round pick for Trengove and our second round pick. That then gets you another first round pick plus a mid second round pick which will be enough to land Frost from GWS.

What we then do with picks 2,3 and 12 who knows.

If we finish up on Thursday with Harry O, Garlett, Frost, Stretch and picks 2, 3 and 12 and lose Frawley, Clark and Trengove, are we winners or losers?

Marginal winners. But this will not be the case - Prepare yourself for a big few days.

Will we be marginal, middling or big winners when the trading dust settles?

When trading draft picks, you can never be certain.

That being said, I can confidently state that at the end of the week, we will feel like winners. Have faith.

Trade radio summary on Trengove:

"If I were Richmond, I'd rather Sam Blease."

"I don't think he fits in the best 22 with Matt Thomas"

"A lot to give up for a guy who has played 2 games in the last 18 months" (He played 2 games this season, and 20 games last season)

Quality listening.

In fairness by the time round 1 rolls around it will be 2 games in 18months

Yes, but that is idiotic reasoning; Luke Hodge would not have played a game from October to March.

That's 5 months!

Get a game you hack!

big difference between 5 months off for pre season and 18 months, 2 games and a career threatening foot injury.

I agree with Browny, how do the tigers benefit bringing a bloke like Trenners into the side?

I'm hoping like hell we will keep him.

Trenners is no good to anyone if he cannot play. I am still trying to work out why the previous coach and medical staff flogged him through 2013 when we all knew he wasn't right.

If we trade Trengove and land a big fish as part of the process. Is anyone going to remember his name if all of a sudden we start winning? We need to shake our list up for this to happen.

I think winners but its so hard to judge.

Trengove & Clark haven't played many games in 18 months. Frawley hasn't been his best & then you never know what you're getting from the draft.

I happy to set us up for 10 years with picks 2 & 3. I think Petracca & Brayshaw are rated a lot higher than TS & JT.

Could go either way with a win or loss, but we have to get it right eventually.

They sure as hell are as of 2014, but as juniors? Really?? Cause Scully had huge wraps on him a year out from being drafted & Trenners was supposedly the best SA junior since Buckley. Edited by thevil1

    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. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    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
