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.

Just a thought - no rumours.

Could or should we trade for pick number 1?

Weideman might be a perfect pick up to play CHF in front of Hogan. If we're lucky they could develop together and be the backbone of our forward line for the next 10 years.

What do you guys think? What could get it done?

No chance. The Blues won't give that up unless we give them an unbelievable deal... which we would be silly to do.

Weitering is this years #1, not Weideman (expected to go 6-12ish)

Despite playing well forward, Weitering is mainly seen as a Key intercepting/rebounding backman.

More importantly there's no way Carlton would trade out this years pick #1 as they are in love with Weitering

And their second favourite is Francis.

On that topic though, we could trade for pick 2 (Schache). Maybe package up our pick 6 and Howe (If the Pies deal falls over). Or Pick 6 & Dawes. Or Pick 6 & an early 2nd rounder (Toumpas trade).

But I think we can get Weideman at Pick 6, who is more than capable of being a better player than Schache. If Weideman wasn't injured for most of the year, everyone would be talking about him as pick 3 imo.

Google "Redskins trade for RG3"

It will give you [censored] nightmares...

Shudder.

Note: Yes, I am aware it was the 2nd pick overall...

You have to be kidding me with this! His rookie season was impressive and was a sight to behold. He was a heisman trophy winner in college and was named pro ball and offensive rookie of the year in his first season. RG3 was a lock to be a qb1 anywhere in the league. He is now broken down due to some unfortunate injuries, but was always worth trading up for on draft night.

You want a real QB bust? JaMarcus Russell really gives you nightmares!

The Rams seem to know more than you do.

Honestly, if RG3 isn't a bust, then no-one is. Tebow won a Heisman, he also has been to the NFL Playoffs...how is he in the pocket? How are his mechanics? And he was taken at 25 in the first round...

RG3 is an absolute bust at 2.

And as someone not too partial to racial epithets - couldn't happen to a nicer team.

Tebow was never going to make it in the Nfl. Florida ran a very college like offense that isn't seen in the nfl. Also he had a fantastic offensive line in college. Completely different player To RG3, who was drawing comparisons to warren moon in the lead up to draft night. The rams simply couldn't afford to draft another QB because at the time they were still trying to justify the Sam Bradford selection by keeping him as their guy (another QB decimated by injuries and a questionable offensive line) The Rams made a sensible trade based on their needs, but if they didn't have Bradford they would have taken RG3.

I fail to see how an injuries to top picks after they have been selected as a pro bowl QB classify as a bust.RG3 goes down as a "what could have been" if his knees weren't absolutely destroyed. A real shame, regardless of your feelings towards Washington (I don't like them either for the record)

RG3 still has a career passing rating of 91.4, sure it's not Tom Brady like (96) but RG3 sits higher than Brett Favre (86) who was a legend of the game.

RG3 could flat out play before getting hurt.

RG3 was flat out one-dimensional and while that was a great dimension, he didn't want to improve and run a proper offence - we are getting a bit Inside NFL here but that trade was a terrible decision by Snyder and set up the Rams: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/rams-send-players-acquired-in-rg3-trade-out-for-pregame-coin-toss-223532066.html

My point isn't that bad luck should be foreseen but that trading up to get the top pick (or the 2nd) is frought because of what you have to give up to get it and if it doesn't pay off you will get people who will say you screwed up.

It's not captain hindsight either, I remember plenty of people say to not do it but Snyder wanted his toy and now he can play with it himself, the team he owns certainly isn't.

Howe and 6 for pick 1

Howe can stay in VIc still and Carlton will offer him the same money as the Pies youd think

We need to brainwash him into wanting to play for the Blues.. any psychics here?

Carlton would tell you to eff off.

Why would they do that?

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
