  • 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.

Tigers are after Tyson don't like the sound of that.

They can give us Rance then..

Seriously, nobody from that mob could come close to the value we'd want for Tyson. He's not going anywhere.

They should get more creative then. Seems like every year they look at someone from our list. Its never worked out well for them either

Fair enough. Let's change this to 'very little', potentially.

BS Adam, same circumstances as Judd or Boyd leaving before free agency, they would still get a 1st round pick next year, so stop trying to valid your stupid wrong point in first place that they'd lose him for nothing.

no we don't give up P-6.

we aren't well off enough, to give away our chances on elite kids from the draft at this stage. if we 'PASS' on another Stringer, or Wines, then I'm done with footy forever.

Prestia is contracted til next year, IF we cannot tempt a trade for him this season, then we wait til 2016.

O'Meara, we should be chasing, & looking for a trade deal for him as well... but we keep P-6. Trade players, Or a mix of players, plus our 2nd Rnd pick, OK... but don't pass up a Curnow, or such.

So you think we should take a punt on a young kid in the draft instead of a proven gun?

Also I think you time int eh sport will be short if you walk the next time a draft pick goes wrong, happens all the time to all clubs, that is why taking a punt on a kid when a gun is in the offering would be stupid in the extreme.

Should know that means nothing Jaded

It actually means something - it actually means a lot. It means the club holds all the cards. But if you are alluding to the fact that contracted players move - spot on.

Why on Gods green earth would we trade out one of our best mids for ? Dom had a quieter year compared to '14 but if he ended up at Richmond I'd be seriously pist off.

Where the hell has this trade Tyson junk come from?

No way in hell are we interested in trading Tyson.

Yet it is trading time and it was our own coach who said that all players were potentially trade able.

Although given the story on Hogan........not everyone. Perhaps we should not take the coaches comments too literally but it does suggest that Roos has an open mind on our list.

If you look at the Hawthorn template you can see what player attributes every coach must be seeking. .

lol. Richmond can be as 'interested' as they want.

Honestly, I love this time of year, but some of these things that come out are just plain dumb. There are so many dimwitted footy fans out there that reckon clubs bandy player names about is if they're playing cards. There is absolutely no way in the world the club would be interested in trading Tyson after the lengths it went to get him here, and I'd be surprised if Richmond even wasted their time enquiring.

if someone offered you 3 a-grade 24yo players you would at least have to consider it

Reading from the top of the thread downward, it is funny how things snowball. 'Middymalt' probably just pulled this out of his arse and now people are mentioning possible trade scenarios...

Tyson has only been at the club for a couple of years, is a very good player (had an underrated season to an extent, I think) and is contracted. Seriously, I think some of the discussion would be better spent on other potential scenarios.

Tyson won't be going anywhere.

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
