  • 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.

But why would you advocate we give up picks in next year's draft which is far, far stronger?

Because he's clueless

You refuse to trade pick 6, but you'll happily trade Gawn, leaving us with only 1 ruckman on the list next year being Jake Spencer! Geez, i know which of the two i'd happily trade first.

yes, for the Right trade I would. To get something/somewhere, you have to give something in return.

For a Prestia I would swap, Medical examination pending. For a part of a Dangerfield trade, I would. For a part of an O'Meara trade I would. For a part of Luke Parker trade I would. For Josh Kennedy I would, but would want they're 3rd pick in return, because of age differences. For Treloar I would but would want GWS 3rd Rnd pick as well.

so yes, all players on our list are tradable for the right price, even Jesse, if we got Fyfe & a young forward or an early 2nd Rnd pick.

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.

no, but it depends on the trade deal.

yes I would trade for Pres but not our first pick. GCSuns need some conservative maturity, & of course they want picks for renewal. we do not have to use Pick 6... it can also wait (the trade) til next year.

so I want both, but am prepared to wait it out... as far as walking over a draft pick, we have loused them up with very poor people in charge of recruiting, & our development, & our club culture stunk.

it had nothing to do with which picks we had at our disposal.

......... aggressive trading doesn't mean jumping at any deal going.

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

if they want him, they can pay for him; they're 1st Rnd Pick-12 & a player of our liking.

Why in God's name would Richmond want Tyson?

Anyway, could work out okay.

Prestia to Melbourne

Tyson to Richmond

Ellis to GC

this works OK I think

All BS aside, IIRC Richmond were chasing Tyson since the day he was drafted. Not sure how concrete this part is but word was that they had been in Tysons ear all along and he wanted to get to Richmond but they couldn't facilitate a trade. That's when the Dee's jumped in.

I'd be surprised if he wanted to leave Melbourne now though.

not necessarily so. anything can be worked out, if the right deal comes along.

for just that reason, every club will do well in a deep draft. not so in a shallow pool. shallow pool means the early bird gets the worm.

deeper pools fish all season long, as they don't heat up & dry out as quickly in the sunlight... so a good feed can be had by all, then it comes down to development at the clubs.

don't trade your early picks in lean years.

and? this year?

is it he is like a rat on a sinking ship, the green seas are always greener on that side? have the Tiges been in his ear over last Summer, Is he disenchanted this year 2015? is he a front runner? is he upset his GWS mates played well & nearly made finals?

how is his mind going Mm?

Prestia is a very good player. I like Ben Kennedy too and the Pies supporters I know rate him. But they're both dwarves and we lack size in our midfield already.

And one of them has a fairly serious injury, that has stopped him playing for most of the year.

Listed at 186 on MFC site and I reckon that is generous.

I am really surprised that the numbers 186 appear anywhere on the MFC site. The devils number. :-(((

Surely they would crib a bit - 185 or 187!

he still isn't big, he doesn't play any bigger than Viney does.

Vince doesn't play like Glen Archer did, or Wines.

so he plays below his height, you could put it? as does JWatts.

we lack players who hit above their weight.

well you better get off the hops, get onto some vitamins Middy.

Tyson hasn't done anything since mid-late last season IIRC.

is he happy or unhappy middy? are you his manager, or former teammate perhaps ? ?

it is the silly season after all.

I think you sound like a silly Pies supporter troll, or just maybe E'd himself having whiteline fever. enjoy big boy. :cool:

Prestia's height should play little part in the discussion. One of the top 5 clearance players in the league when up and going. As if he's not perfect for us. Okay, so he's not 6'4, but who cares if he plays like he does?

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
