    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.

Highlights - the lack of real activity is shown up by the fact that we're getting a bit of old news mixed in with the few real highlights

Hawthorn has made a shock move to snatch Jake Carlisle from St Kilda's grasp. The Hawks have come into the play with a three-way trade involving Jed Anderson which is expected to see Carlisle move to the Premiers.

As part of the proposed Carlisle trade, Jed Anderson would move from Hawthorn to North Melbourne, while an exchange of picks would also take place to see the Bombers secure two extra first round picks.

Essendon's Jake Melksham will play for the Demons next season after the two clubs agreed to a trade to see him move in exchange for pick 25.

Lewis Jetta will play at the West Coast Eagles next season after tonight being traded by the Swans in a direct trade for Eagles ruckman Callum Sinclair.

Richmond general manager of football Dan Richardson has slammed Harley Bennell as being "disrespectful" when he visited the club earlier this year.

Collingwood's Paul Seedsman has nominated Adelaide as his destination club of choice, with the two clubs now set to head to the trade table. The Crows beat a number of clubs in attempting to lure Seedsman out of Collingwood.

Matthew Leuenberger is officially an Essendon player after Brisbane elected not to match the club's three-year free agency offer. The Lions will now receive an end of second round compensation pick from the AFL for losing Leuenberger.

most likely.

In 2017? He'll 100% be in Victoria, and highly likeable be a Demon.

In before the "grammar Nazis", to say, once again Chook, the mere sight of C.I.P on the board, has me clicking as fast as I can, for some news carrying weight.

faulty.

Got the better of me. My inner Nazi wins. "likely"

Sorry ;)

Anyone who knows the rules re. trades and such, exactly how much power do clubs have to trade players? If Howe says Collingwood and the club says Gold Coast because it's a better deal, who has the most power to force the issue? IF Howe is insistent that he stays in Victoria, could we then trade him to a different Melbourne-based club for better compo? What if the club were to go to him and say outright that they won't trade him to the Pies because they have nothing to trade back that matches his value? From the look of things right now it appears that the clubs have virtually no power when a player decides they want to go to another side

The only power they have is that, if the player walks and nominates for the draft, the player risks being picked up by a club the player doesn't want to play for. If they don't want to play for them, they sit out of AFL for 2 years.

lol. amended. (expect that sort of pedantry from your brother!)

Think yourself lucky that you haven't met him. Absolute nutcase, especially after 3/4 of a bottle of Whisky. Gets all ranty over the smallest things.

As we are twins, I've, been mistaken for him all of my life, and for someone with a horrible memory for people, its a nightmare. I never know if I have forgotten the face, or have never met them before.

Nice to see the Day 4 trade wrap article on the AFL website thinks we'll cave and take Kennedy & a 2nd round pick.

I still say we should tell Collingwood that the asking price for Howe will be Ben Reid (to go to Gold Coast) & Ben Kennedy but they'll get Pick 35 thrown back their way.

Wonder if what Mahoney said is true and the Howe trade is done by the end of the week?

There has been very little use of future picks in this trade period thus far. Hypothetically if gc were open ti trading would our pick 6 and first rounder next year (likely 9-12) get it done?

If we're as keen on Parish as it seems we are, would the club back themselves in and trade Pick 6 and our 2016 1st Round Pick for Pick 3 and Gold Coast's 2016 2nd round pick, possibly also switching this years Pick 46 with their 35?

Suggested the same just the page over.

If we're that keen on Pick 3 then I reckon it shoud, along with moving Pick 46 up to 35.

We can then use that Pick along with Toumpas to try and bring Kennedy & Bugg over.

I have a feeling Toump will stay. We arn't hearing reports of him meeting Port/doing Medicals/manager being a [censored] ect. It's really quiet in the Toumpas camp right now.

Usually is some posturing ect

Still 6 & a half days. Plenty of time.

Once it hits Tuesday, that's when any deals that are yet to be done, you start to wonder about.

The Toump is the kind of player that gets dealt with much later in the trade period.. When clubs see what loose change they have and whats in the bargain bin. Harsh...but reality I wish him well. Cant say that for some others :rolleyes:

I can't get excited by Kennedy of Bugg.

Kennedy is a small NQR midfielder and Bugg a strong bodied defender/tagger who'd be fringe best 22.

I understand we need better depth, but all I can conclude is that this draft must be an absolute stinker.

Understand the lack of excitiment, but at the same time they fit the typical Roos recruit that turn into very good team players.

Both have certain attributes I like, so I'll back the club in on both of them.

Is Kennedy considered a bit of a tough guy? Cause Bugg certainly has mongrel & Mahoney said something about Melksham being an enforcer type (and he was a very good junior boxer), so maybe that's our theme this year if Kennedy is also along similar lines?

Is that what Roos means by having 22 competitors?

Guys, this talk of trading 2 second-rounders for GWS' first pick isn't new.

It was posited on BigFooty a month ago, and I'm sure I brought the idea over here too.

I'm sure if the club saw it as a good idea, they'd be all over it.

It's been floated well before that too.

I don't mind the idea of Bugg, but struggle to see the purpose of Kennedy. I'll back the decisions that Roos & Co make, but at this stage I'm not too sure what part of the recruiting blueprint Jesse Hogan is so impressed by.

    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

    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,
