  • 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.

If GWS decide to play hard ball.... maybe then its not such a done deal

Afterall whos to say GWS don't say f u Collingwood, we'll let him go to the PSD afterall we have list full of talent... Just to prove a point and stuff over the Pies

It would be nice

It sets an awful precedent though that would have ramifications for how they are treated by other clubs in the future. If the Pies come to the trade table and play ball then Treloar goes to the Pies.

Imagine if they offered a good deal and GWS told them to get stuffed? No one would want to deal with them again.

Face facts - Treloar will be a Pie by the end of the 2 trade weeks.

Agree with your top two points

Its not set in stone he will be a pie. history says though he more then likely will be

I believe the pies are pretty reasonable to deal with (negotiate these things) I was more thinking if the Pies give an average offer and try force GWSs hand..... I should have mentioned its highly unlikely

I agree with that though - if the Pies try to low ball GWS then they should definitely either send him to the PSD or try and look to deal with others. Pies won't do that though... well, they might to begin with, but if they see sense they'll do the right thing as any club would be stoked to have Treloar.

I don't see why some posters have to comment on (mindless) positive speculation. Just let posters have their fun if they want it. That's the fun at this time of year (rather than the finals series, unfortunately). Go easy on the negativity for a while. It's tiresome.

So "reality" has now become "negativity"?

Happy to let posters have their "fun", as long as you can promise that none of them will at any stage slag off Taylor or Viney for "letting" Dangermouse & Treloar (or Bennell or Aaron Hall or ...) get to other clubs. I'm all for indulging in fantasy, as long as it doesn't get confused with reality.

Is it weird that there has been no mention of us being interested in or going hard for Treloar?

I don't know what to think of it...

Josh Mahoney wasn't even asked about it on SEN this arvo and I thought Schwarz would be the first to ask?

Has he just refused to talk us like Caddy did those years back?

I think you've answered your own question - he may well have indicated to us early that he has no interest in playing for us, much like Caddy and Taylor Adams have done in the past. The club have probably decided not to waste their time and focus their energies elsewhere.

If the Saints are sniffing around though then I see no reason why he would go there over us. Wouldn't make any sense to me.

Perhaps.

The 'Saints in the running' talk throws a spanner straight at that line of thinking.

The Sainters.

Fark me.

Surely Pies don't have room for both Treloar and now Aish has nominated them. I guess it won't be hard to pick up Kennedy

Maybe they've given up on Trelor and grabbed Aish before the Hawks

Why is Treloar not our number one target?

He, Wines, Mitchell and Prestia are the best under 23 midfielders in the game, and Treloar wants a return to VIC.

We should be a major player for his services, and he is worth any long term deal.

Who says he's not...

Yep I'm surprised as well

I would think he fits all criteria to bring in a potential gun

Surely of hed consider the blues (not i belive Andy Maher) we could cash him up and get the deal done with gws

Esit - phone... ahh bugger it

What the.. didn't he already nominate Collingwood??

Fat Ed already promised his Mrs a job at his media company. Unless the AFL investigated that and disqualified them from getting his signature... though it hasn't stopped them in the past (the ludicrous Footy Show guest appearance fees for Swan, Cloke, Shaw, etc.)

The press are taking the GWS stance of 'we will deal with anyone until a deal is done' thing and suggesting that all these clubs will try and trump the Pies to his signature. There is nothing in it as they would have had their chance to put forward their case all year... and he still chose the Pies. Unless the Pies decide to become tighter than a mermaids bra then he will end up at the Emirates with McChins.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
