    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.

I would have thought the reality of Jacks position is that he wont be available for the entire 15 season

Do i hear any dissenters ?

If thats the case then what good does he really do on the senior list, even if LTI. The reality also is if he doesnt come up he'll be let loose at the end of 15.

What if you were to do a deal whereby he did step down , in whatever fashion is required and he is picked up as a rookie but given a 2 year deal.. I couldnt see any other club taking on the risk, theres just too many others to choose from. If he does come good he's a cert for elevation if he doesnt he falls off the list as it were.

Whilst I'm all for looking after your blokes theres a balance somewhere between responsible and pragmatic.

Surprised no-one has picked up on this. Basically confirms that the Trengove to Richmond deal wasn't just speculative, it was all but finalised.

"After the Armitage approach was rejected Richmond set its sights on Trengove but that deal fell through when scans revealed he had more damage to his foot.

“We were all set to go in a lot of ways but the last scan just showed that it wasn’t looking quite as good as first thought,” Richardson said.

“We were disappointed about that because we did put a bit of work into that and Jack was, I think, pretty keen to come to the Tiges.”

I believe it failed & he (Hird) was at his wits end. I have a feeling I remember something like he found some locals with magic potion, & then eventually he got back to playing successfully.

It all works both ways. In many ways it always has, just there are some exceptions.

We owe Jack due respect and help with his injury. We DONT owe him a career per se, Fair opportunity perhaps, Guarantees ?? I wouldnt have thought warranted

Has anyone asked why we didn't know the full extent of his injuries and were just as shocked as Richmond when they were discovered? Has anyone explained this?

After playing on this injury for as long as he has, I'm not surprised that its not completely healed... I'm sure if Trengove is given more rest and rehabilitation time, then he'll over come this and get back to his best... I understand that we need our talented players to perform now, but this injury needs a patient approach.. If we rush he treatment and recovery again, then it's more than likely we'll never see him at his best... He's still very young and if we can move him to the rookie list, then we should put him on ice for two years and slowly build he back up...

Trengove at his best will be worth the wait...

Personally I wouldn't have traded him or even considered trading him, regardless of the depth of his injuries... I agree that we don't owe him a career or a guarantee of success, but we do owe him our loyalty and patience... He backed us in and I'm more then happy to back him in...

I am wondering whether Trengove wanted to go to the Tigers initially or felt betrayed that the Demons after being approached by the Tigers were willing to trade him.

I guess if you the club only values you 9 places in the ND then why would you want to stay with your club. Therefore he was resigned to joining the Tigers and told them he was looking forward to joining a club that actually wanted him.

What happens now at the end of 2015, when he is out of contract. Will we offer him another contract if his foot is better, or will he say stuff you, I want to go somewhere else.

I would say his faith in the Demons has been shattered and he will leave at the end of next year.

Do you blame him?

Not sure we will ever see this

Either he won't get to the level due to injuries taking their toll or if he does it won't be in a red and blue jumper

I believe everyone will have a momentary heart attack before they realize its an old thread.

'it', doesn't hurt,  to reread our thoughts of Trenners potential trade,  back at that time.

#edit:  but maybe the title could be updated by the OP ?

    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
