    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.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

One thing is for certain -- anyone predicting that we'll take two (or three) first-round picks into the draft simply does not know how Paul Roos operates.

If negotiations for Dangerfield or GWS players fall through, expect something to shaken loose from the tree.

I think the hidden trade target is a GWS player.

A while ago I was informed by a reliable source they were targeting Cameron, I don't know how well that has gone.

I presume it's a deal of the pick 2 & 12 calibre for a Shiel/ Cameron or Treloar along with Frost.

Then pick 3 & 21 (or Toumpas) for Dangerfield.

Well that's my guess or something along those lines.

I believe we are entertaining a MAJOR bid for Dangerfield.... Somewhere in the area of close to $1m a year over possibly 5 or 6... Hence the thought about trading out JT to the Toigs....

The other thing that people need to take into account when mentioning the big Texan (although by all reports he is the heart and soul of Cow Land) is that he is BFF's with our man Bernie Vince!

The Goodwin and Bernie combination cannot and SHOULD not be underestimated when speaking of luring Cows to Demonland!

If Dangerfield wants to leave what exactly is it we are offering him that isn't worth him sticking out for the Crows for the year before getting to Geelong who now have so much salary cap room to offer him with Christensen leaving and Frawley not going there.

Doubt Tex would ever leave. Bernie will be back in Adelaide in 3 years time anyway.

GWS sounds more reasonable but Jaksch and JOR

No one wants to lose Trengove for just a draft upgrade. But at the same time I'm keen to give Jason Taylor and Roos' development a test. Drafting and developing is still our best shot at getting one of those magically draft periods that sets you up with 3 superstars and in 3 years time makes up a top 8 team without trying.

I'm hardly convinced 2, 3 and 12 gets us Franklin, Roughead and Lewis but now the draft is (somewhat) unhampered it might be our best shot.

It sounds all too right. Tyson last year and someone again this year from GWS who we all know love top 3 picks. I just think Treloar and Cameron may be pushing it.

So who from GWS do we relistically think we can get and want? Assuming we'd target a mid. I'll throw some names out there i think we can get:

Coniglio, Greene, Sheil, and Sumner.

Can't see any other midfielders we could get.

If we can convince them to come (long contract, big money, Roos and Melbourne) and tell GWS we can compensate them with a top pick, we could conceivably get any of the GWS blokes, Treloar included.

id jizz if it was sloane.

Favourite player outside of melb.

Love his workrate but IMO Treloar is just about ready to enter the elite bracket in the next 2 to 3 seasons, Shiel is also a gun. I believe Sloane has reached his ceiling

Agreed. Treloar has the pace to take his game to Judd's level a couple of years ago. He's a natural ball winner too. He gets into the right places, makes good runs, uses the ball pretty well and can kick goals.

Gun, isn't he? I think Shiel would be next on my list, followed by Greene and then Coniglio.

Yeah so much so that I ask myself why would GWS let him go, even for overs. Has to be a go home factor with him unless we went all out and give picks 3 and 4 which IMO i think may be worth it for him.

I would trade Pick 3, 23 & Trengove to Adelaide for Sloane, Walker & Pick 31. Is that asking too much? They keep there Pick 10.

I don't want Dangerfield. He is a player I would rather play against than with...

I wanted the Dees to draft Sloane when we had a chance. We passed on him.

I can see the line of thinking here. I did just say somewhere else that he could well turn into the next Judd, but I'm not keen on giving up two top picks for anyone. Carlton didn't for Judd. I think we're gonna get two players we're really happy with this week. Wouldn't it be great if Treloar was one of them? ;)

This makes no sense to me, but each to their own.

3, 23 and Trengove for Sloan, Walker and 31 sounds like something Adelaide might really go for. You should ask them, let me know how it goes..

I believe it is Dangerfield. I received a call earlier today from a mate who is connected to the Club as a Player Sponsor and he has put his reputation on the line and declared that as soon as the Pick 12 comes in it will be Dangerfield for Picks 2 & 12.

Effectively, Picks 2, 12 & 23 plus Jack Trengove for Dangerfield.

As I've said, I'm not prepared to give up pick 2. They can have pick 3 and we take Brayshaw, I still reckon saints don't know who they'll take.

By the way, 2, 12, 23 & Trengove is ridiculous for one player and I don't believe a word of it.

From what I've heard, Danger is happy to stay at the crows.

It's not 2, 12, 23 and Trengove. It's either 2 and 12, or 2, 23 and Trengove.

How did we get pick 12 here?

    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

    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.
