    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.

Essendon are asking for Jack Billings in return for Carlisle

Absolute muppets

Are you going by the HUN article? Because if you are, what you've said above isn't entirely correct.

The article suggests that the Bombers could target him if the Saints aren't willing to part with Pick 5 in the draft for Carlisle. At no stage does it say that's what the Bombers are asking for at the moment.

Hawthorn have made a bid for Carlisle......why am I not surprised...

Ooops! The panic button just went off at Seaford!!

Hawkes will give up their 1st round pick that Ess want and may throw in a sweetner!

I wish it had been us that made such a daring move on Carlisle!

Edit: from the Age: "It would see the Hawks give up their first-round pick and Jed Anderson, and get Carlisle from the Bombers. Then Anderson would go to the Kangaroos with Essendon's pick No.41, and the Bombers would get No.15 and No.18."

How can Ess resist two 1st round picks!

Hope he chooses the Saints and they get a deal done.

Better for the comp.

Agreed but they've only got themselves to blame. When a good KP like that wants to come to your lowly placed club - just do the deal. 5 for Carlisle + 24 is a total no brainer.

Hawthorn screws over the bottom clubs once again.

The AFL is nothing but a mini premier league,with teams like Geelong, Hawthorn and Sydney having all the leverage and rules in their favour to stay at the top, and play finals year after year after year,while the trading rules ensure the other clubs battle for survival.

Equality is a joke.

Rubbish, it's the Saints fault for stuffing around - trade should have been done on day 1.

True the saints didn't want to part with such a high pick, but the Hawks still get their man don't they?

And do you think that is a good thing for the competition?

Apparently Carlisle still wants to head to the saints, although the shot at a flag would be appealing I guess.

Bottom line is the saints will need to hand over pick 5 otherwise they miss out. Not as if they haven't had ample opportunity to deal with EFC

Hawks aren't to blame at all. The Saints and Carlton were keen and he nominated the Saints. Clearly they didn't want to part with Pick 5 or really get the discussions going so the Hawks swooped in with an offer. 15 other clubs could have done the same.

If he goes go to Whorethorn then the only people to blame are the Saints.

I wouldn't give up ND5 for Carlisle. If he ends up at Hawthorn it is good for the brokering of trades for clubs, bad for the equalisation of the league, and good for the Saints long term rebuild.

No black and white here - really grey and each party has to deal with what is in front of them.

Let's see what St Kilda come up with, but I hope for their sake the don't cough up too much.

Seems the complete opposite of how we're handling the Howe situation.

"I think Jake probably had his heart set on going to St Kilda. That may be where he still wishes to go but Hawthorn is a good option," Dodoro told NAB AFL Trade Radio.

"I'm sure he'd prefer to go to Hawthorn than to go into the pre-season draft."

Such a dickmove, but [censored] I'm jealous. Carlisle's elected to move to the Saints and the bombers are just going yeah mate, Hawthorn's the go hey. If the Suns offer a better deal, god damn it, get him to the Suns.

I don't think you get it, I'm not blaming anybody.

I just think it sucks how the top teams seem to get all the good players.

Saints didn't think he was worth pick 5 , so we will see what Hawthorn give up for him.

Don't worry, I understand that part.

It's just that this time Carlisle didn't even nominate them. He was happy to go to a team in the bottom half... and they may have dropped the ball which is ridiculous in the extreme!

Not that I'd want Carlisle, but I love when these players choose Hawthorn. If we can't have em I don't want the clubs around us getting em.

Same with the flags, couldn't care less if Hawthorn won them all until we get our next one. In fact I'd prefer it. Let everyone suffer.

I'm twisted like that.

Look I agree in principle, but this isn't a case of Hawthorn having an advantage over anyone here, they're just the ones willing to do the deal with Essendon. Carlisle seems (seemed?) quite willing to go to St Kilda; so can get him if they want. They're just choosing to be stubborn and Hawthorn are holding them to account.

    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

    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,
