Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

My Prediction for our trade/draft period.

Toumpas to Port for Pick 29

Jeremy Howe to GC for Pick 19(or 22) and 40

Pick 29 to Essendon for Melksham

Pick 25 and 43 to GWS for Tom Bugg and Pick 27

Pick 40 to Collingwood for Kennedy

Draft Day

Pick 6 (Tall)

Pick 19(or 22) (mid)

Pick 27 (mid)

Vandenberg upgrade

Harmes Upgrade

Out

Toumpas

Howe

pick 25

Pick 43

IN

Melksham

Bugg

Kennedy

pick 19(22)

pick 27

Mahoney has said that we want to complement our trade period with further high draft picks, this prediction sets us up with 3 solid players all coming to us relatively cheaply, and continues to build our list with 3 high draft picks. Furthermore these movements adhere to the 6 vacancies on our list.

I think it will be a 3 way trade

Andrew Moore to Pies, Toumpas to Port, Kennedy to Dees

Nah, right now. Best inside mid we have.

Leads the club in average Contested Possessions and Clearances in 2015.

Happy with both of them 'rpfc', I think Tyson is a bit stronger in tight over the ball but Viney harder at his attack on the ball.

My original post was in response to someone calling Tyson an outside mid which he clearly isn't.

Nah Tmac best position is a back. Roosy had to roll the dice in that Essendon game. He is the backman of the future. Up there with Talia and McGovern in terms of young KPD

I disagree, we have plenty coming through who can play as key backs. Omac, White, Frost ect can all come in. Garland just re signed to.

TMac has learnt from the best forwards in the game for the past few years and is primed to work alongside Hogan up forward

White is not a KPP, OMac is still very inexperienced, and Frost only has 9 toes. I think TMac will be playing in the backline next season.

Howe for Suns pick 19.

Toumpas to Power, Moore (or Young) to Bombers and Melksham to Dees.

Kennedy & Pies pick 47 to Dees for pick 27.

Bugg to Dees for pick 47

Get Melksham, Bugg & Kennedy & ND19

Release Howe and Toumpas

Draft picks #6 (Charlie Curnow) #19 (Ryan Clarke) #45 (Kurt Mutimer).

Upgrade Harmes and Vandenburg.

Class vs Grunt,

Tyson finds space in tight, Viney tries to break through the wall

Both I think will be premier midfielders in the comp for a long period of time

personally think Christian Salem will be better than both when he transitions to the midfield, best skills at the club, speed, grunt, class in tight, damaging outside as well.

Throw in Brayshaw and Petracca, Neil Bullen looks to be alright too..

starting to look like a seriously good core of players

probably the best young key back and key forward in the comp too

Mgoven probably just pips Mcdonald but i'd say Hogan is the best young key forward,

Watts 196cm 88kg

Lynch 192cm 87kg

I think Watts is gone, we made a play for Lynch and failed.

Let him be someone else's problem.

The contested mark stat is interesting, how many years on the list?

Seven I believe

It is and will remain an interesting point of ongoing debate.

YES TMcD has had a fantastic learning experience against some of the best KPP forwards, in a similar way that our greatest goal-kicker, DN did early in his career.

Personally I believe he could go on to be one of our better KPP forwards in tandem with JH

On the other hand he is doing a great job at CHB and unless the likes of Frost or his own young bro come along quickly, and I mean start to show as early as preseason 2016, JMc will stay as a defender for most of 2016.

All quiet today but in my opinion I think:

Howe to Pies

Dees get Kennedy and pick 29

Melksham to Dees

Pick 29 to Bombers

Toumpas to Port for pick 31

Bugg to Dees for pick 46

Draft 6, 26, 31 (Charlie Curnow, Thomas Cole, Ben Mckay)

Get Kennedy, Bugg, Melksham

Lose Howe, Toumpas and pick 46

Yeah interesting with TMac. He did have a great year at CHB in the first half of the season, main problem with him though is he can't lock down on the bigger FF. Mostly the lead up tall forwards.

Roos did mention he thought Frost was going to be a Key Defender. At the moment with Dunn and Frost as the big men down there, would that free up TMac to become a CHF? Has a great tank, works hard both ways and can take a contested mark. Would be helpful having someone up there that would help JH, I don't think Dawes is exactly doing that at the moment.

I like Dawes aggression at the contest though, since he isn't kicking goals or getting much ball around the ground would it be possible to push him back? Big ask and big risk but I guess he is bigger and stronger than TMac.

I am still hoping for Treloar... he would bring us into finals contention in 2016 IMO

TRELOA IS NOT COMING!!

Dont understand why some on here seriously cannot understand the fact that Treloar will simply not play for us. Gubby Allen is just trying to be a grub and play hardball. He will get to Collingwood and no one else.

Forget about Treloar he has no interest in the Melbourne Football Club at all. Stop trying to believe in fairytales.

Reminds me of how some seriously believe Danger was going to be a Demon as early as last week.

I know its been speculated upon in the media but Adam Tomlinson definitely wants out. Waiting for Cam McCarthy deal to go through. Would be a nice pairing with hogan. Ideally we would get a second rounder for howe and that might work, otherwise next years second rounder might get it done.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
