  • 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.

Well if you take the 5 above 500k as an average of 600k ($3 million) and the 10 between $100k- $200k as an average of $150k ($1.5 million) you have 15 players getting $4.5 m and the remaining 29 players getting $6 m, or an average of ~$200k each. 

 

I'm reading that as about 9 players between $60-100k, 10 players between $100k-200k, 20 between $200-500k (averaging $265k) and 5 above $500k.

The median would then be somewhere between $200k-$265k.

 

Effectively, your top 5 players get above $500k.

Your next 10 get $265-500k

And the next 16-25 get $200-265k.

About what it should be, going by salary cap.

No apologies warranted. Where would Demonland be if not for its meanderings ?

We could never adopt a transport system. We derail...... Everything !! 

Including SkyRail? There is hope yet ... :)

Barrett just said that the Hawks are keen on Prestia, but are also very keen on Tom Mitchell as well, and there is every chance they could get both with the use of future picks IF they decide to play there.

So much for equalisation, eh?  He didn't say if either wanted to play there, but that the Hawks have already met with Prestia and they are VERY keen on Mitchell.

FWIW apparently front runners for Brad Crouch as well.

They were one of the front runners for Dangerfield last year too, I recall.

Hawks are just the easy one to spruik, because it's believable.

Yup, their mids are getting older so they will need some younger guys to go through there, and ideally they wouldn't drop out of the top 4 in the process so it just makes sense that they'd be after these blokes.

More surgery for O'Meara, has played his last game for 2016.

Will be 23 at the start of next season with 0 AFL games in the last 2 years, while I think he will be a champ if he can get out on the park, the big IF about his body makes me think it would be easy to pay overs.  If we get him cheaply sweet, if not then at least we will not have to worry about his body breaking down again.

Prestia would be my preferred candidate.

I'd be having a very serious look at Brad Crouch, he's in great form at the minute, and his off field stuff seems to have knocked him behing O'meara, Prestia and Mitchell, 

I reckon he's very gettable and has the explosive attributes that would really add to our midfield

Really? At least he has been playing this year though.

I don't want this guy unless he is a moderate  cost.

I would want to be very sure he is capable of playing most games over the next three years.

Crouch would do me fine. He's having a top second half of the season. Another ball magnet.

I would say this for both OD.

I am really starting to think we do not need to chase them.

Brad crouch will be staying at Adelaide.  I saw it on the news

Strong word around the traps is that Prestia has committed to a Tigers on $3.5m over 5.

 

I loathe that players can basically say 'trade me to x' and it's a given that it'll happen.

That's good money for a bloke with knee issues.

if the prestia-richmond rumour turns out to be true, that will be a surprise. who in their right mind would go there?! the tiges haven't won a flag in decades and don't look to be getting any closer. apart from the cash-moniez, why would a young, talented player join a club with no real future?! i mean, does he like their song, is that why?! admittedly, it is quite good.

If true, very wise of our club not to entertain these sort of dollars with what we have to deal with.

Thought it interesting as well, that Jon Anderson made a connection between ourselves and Hurley just to digress.

    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

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    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,

    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
