    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.

I posted earlier that the man we want may not be Parish.

What if we know Bombers are desperate for Parish?

What if we let it be known we want Parish?

We then get pick 3.

We offer Parish and 10 to Bombers for 4 and 5.

Bombers get their man.

We get both of ours.

Good conspiracy theory or not?

Only one problem you are talking about Essendrug!

Yes, but if Dees find out they want another player (not Parish) who we also want (for example Curnow), Dees hold tight on 3.

Was just thinking about GWS and their drafting. They have had the cream of draft picks and so many are gone or are on the way out.

Yet there is hardly a comment in the medya about them unlike the Dees that have copped it from pillar to post.

They have lost:

Pick 1

Boyd

pick 2

O'Rourke

pick 3

Plowman

tyson

Pick 12

Jaksch

Hoskin Elliot and Buntine look like busts and I can't be bothered going trough the rest of them but plenty are looking to leave....

This is all off the top of my head so stand to be corrected slightly but....

Swapped Boyd for pick 4 and Griffen...hardly a bust.

O'Rourke and Plowman haven't worked out but they still got a late round first pick so not a total disaster unlike our Morton, Watts, Gysberts picks (I'd add Trengove but jury still out due to injury)

Essentially swapped Tyson for Josh Kelly who'll be a gun, win-win

They ended up getting pick 7 and 19 in return for Jaksch Mark Whiley

Buntine is average but Hoskin Elliot is definitely not a bust. GWS will be a powerhouse and it's just a matter of time. We seem to have a good relationship with these expansion clubs in terms of swapping picks which is interesting.

GWS now have pick 7 - Treloar

Edit: - Trying to work out what that means to us.

thanks md.

so currently our pick 10 is worth pick 9 (as 6 will used for academy pick of gcs)

Not sure if the Suns have any academy kid who will cost them that much though. They have a few coming through next year, which is why they took our first rounder next year for them.

Whoops!!!

GNF you're an absolute muppet. From all the un-eventuated cr@p you dribbled last trade period to the above opinion that directly contradicted what Mahoney said on the radio, i'd have more belief in a mail-box than the stuff you hear!

DD, show some class and calm down. I said at the beginning of this trade period that I no longer had the info flow from the club. Surprise, surprise I was spoken to for saying too much last, this year I was not given the privilege. I was only told one thing this season and that is the club was going hard for Prestia........ which was hardly a secret. The club was confident in getting him. Maybe that will be next year. Last year we went all out for Danger, I said this, we failed. Why abuse me? Perhaps you need to talk to someone about your anger?

This year, clearly I got the trading for a player thing wrong. I never said I knew this, or had been given inside info. It was just joining the dots. I was wrong.

I'm loving this! Almost as good as beating Geelong at the Cattery and the Filth at the 'G'.

If we get 3 and 7 this year, and it's cost us 6 and next year's first round pick, then it has to be a brilliant trade period.

2 x top 7 draft picks this year, plus the rooking upgrade of AvB and possibly Harmes, in a draft that is meant to drop away significantly after the higher picks.

Plus we've gained Melksham, Kennedy and Bugg (probable), at the cost of Howe and Toumpas.

    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.

    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
