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.

He is delightfully untrustworthy.

I think he's probably telling the truth this time though. Suspect they've had a killer few days.

He apologised for being a bit grumpy last time he was on SEN.

The Howe/GCS deal was probably a bit of a blindside, and the resurrection of the GCS/picks deal would have been a bit of a head[censored].

Getting Parish at pick 3 and if we can just snag Charlie Curnow or Weideman at 7, we have done really well imo. They both look great,

Weideman has had season affecting injuries last season and the season before, but looks to be most imposing of the tall forwards or key position players, he's got a fairly big body and is strong, he takes marks, crashes packs and kicks goals. 196cm and 94kg.

Charlie Curnow broke down with a knee injury and was unable to complete a full U-18 season, but seems like a very athletic player, he ran 14.5 in the beep test and a 10:24 time in the 3K, I think if we could pick me up at 7, it's an absolute bargain, to have a key forward up there with Hogan or he could even turn into a big bodied midfielder like a Petracca. He's 191cm and 96kg, seems like a great option if he isn't gone by 7.

Aaron Francis also in the mix, but isn't as athletic as a Curnow, needs some work on his agility a little bit, yet has key essentials for a key position forward

Today should be a lesson for those who wanted to do the trades early and for those who continually wanted to play hard ball.

MFC and GWS clearly had a plan from the beginning of trade period to use the system to benefit both parties. They were prepared to do this because of a trust between the parties. This trust was also evident in the initial GCS trade.

Playing hard ball only puts people off side. MFC with Mahoney and Roos have built a reputation of being sensible to deal with and trustworthy. We have clearly worked on outcomes that are "win win" which is the key to all successful negotiations.

Well done MFC. Let's hope the posters who shot off at the mouth learn from this. I'm so sick of blokes coming out slagging decisions and then saying "I'm happy to eat humble pie" and then being stupid enough to make exactly the same mistake two minutes later.

On another note, I wonder if Prodee is still "underwhelmed".

Yep, agree BB.

Must admit, I've been trying to figure out why MFC people keep saying Josh Mahoney is a rising star.

Like all the other lightweight idiots that rely on landing big fish or brands, I have felt underwhelmed during previous trade periods.

But today, we controlled the outcomes. Today was a very good day.

Highlights - Picks 3 and 7 come home to roost

Jake Carlisle today finally got his wish to be a St Kilda player. The Bombers managed to also get pick 5 from the Saints for him - with the help of Sydney - who came to the table late to form a three-way trade.

Despite revealing it online overnight, the Pies today secured Adam Treloar from the GWS Giants officially. The Pies had to give up both this year's and next year's first round picks to get him, but also received back pick 28 in the process.

In order to get Jake Carlisle to the Saints, Sydney premiership player Craig Bird will also be traded to the Bombers.

Troy Menzel was today traded to Adelaide in exchange for pick 28 and Sam Kerridge who move to the Blues.

Carlton eventually secured the four youngsters from the GWS they've been after all week, with Liam Sumner, Lachie Plowman, Andrew Phillips and Jed Lamb all moving to the Blues.

Matt Rosa will be a Gold Coast Suns player next season after being traded to the Suns in exchange for pick 31 which goes back to the Eagles.

Gold Coast and Melbourne today executed an exchange of draft picks which saw the Demons get pick 3 in the draft, while the Suns also strengthened their position to secure local Academy Players.

Trade action at least. I see something like:

2016 1st - 3

6 - 7

25 - Melksham

Toumpas - Kennedy

Howe - Bugg

Pretty good but I'd hold off the champagne

The as yet undefined 2016 1st round pick for 2015 no.3 is champagne worthy for mine. Even if it turned out to be pick 3 next year; we'll have a talented player with a year in the system rather than a shiny new player. It's more likely to be in the region of no. 10 next year hopefully.

25 for Melksham is also very pleasing - a player who at worst is definitely best 22 and AFL standard, whose ceiling could be high.

Agree on the rest - the player swaps are just trading one risk for another.

Just throwing it out there.......

Would we offer pick 7 to Freo in exchange for 2 players - say Neale and Appness?

They then can offer 7 and there 2 rnd pick to lure Cam Mcarthy from GWS.

We get a gun mid and a tall to help hogan and Freo get there forward

Is GC 6 earmarked for an academy player?

If so, we are guaranteed of the one we want of Parish, Francis, Curnow and Weideman and one more of the remaining 3.

Not this year, have one coming through next year, partially explains the interest in our 2016 1st rounder.

Say what? What interest would draft picks be to GWS after they just gave up picks 7 and 8 for SFA? They would rather have Neale and Appness and cut out the middle man.

As 6 appears to be a live pick, I wonder if we would try and deal for 4 & 5 with 3 & 7, if we know for sure that the player Essendon wants, is not the one we want. We would then get both the players we want.

BTW, can't see it happening.

I don't think Freo would do that deal. They are in a flag window IMO. And also, would Neale be as effective without Sandilands tapping it down his throat, he is an extractor, and a big reason Fyfe and Mundy get a free run at things. Appness is also just a speculative athlete atm, he doesn't offer much going forward IMO.

Josh Mahony on SEN now. Just said we won't do any more deals tomorrow

He also said the Howe and Kennedy deals will be seperate

He then weaved some sort of magic to get us 3 and 7

Looking forward to us being the proud owners of pick 1 and 2 by 2 pm tomorrow

We had 6, and seemed pretty keen to get ahead of 4 & 5, probably for a reason. We'll soon see I guess, but based on that I don't think we'd trade 3 & 7 in exchange for 4 & 5

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
