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.

This looks like a good starting point to consider who we may be able to poach from opposition clubs on the cheap. With our good trading history with GWS,  and talk previously Tomlinson, maybe Dom and Thomas could have a word? What about Vardy from the cats? Anybody on this list worth chasing if the price is right?

Brad Crouch or Ben Lennon would be handy. Tomlinson has been killing them in the NEAFL playing as a tall midfielder. The guy's got a lot of talent.

Could Tomlinson be turned into a defender do you think? Seen him with GWS a few times and his set shots look a bit awkward like Frosty, not sure he should be brought in to play Pedo's role. Good endurance though and a very strong athletic type.

Not as quick as Hurley could be.

Aaron Black from the Roos could be worth a look in, if the price is right. Tomlinson and Crouch are the others that interest me, though Crouch doesn't really add much that we don't have.

I wouldn't pay overs for anyone on that list really. But if there's a chance of some cheap pick ups it's worth targeting positions we need. Mainly ruck, forward/ruck, tall defenders and half back ball users. 

He's often injured but if the Cats don't want to play Nathan Vardy when fit then we could at least ask the question.

Jordan Murdoch is another talented player who could give us some speed at half back or on the wing, but he's probably a question mark about long term ability.

I'd think about Majak if he was free as a 2nd/3rd ruck. 

I like the idea of trying 1 or maybe 2 mature recruits each year just to give them a fresh start in a new club and filling a need to see if they improve but we probably aren't as desperate as we have been the last few years. It's probably up to about 5 or so guys on the delistings bubble to show in the back half of the year they are worth one more year, and if they do then we might be heading more towards drafting kids this year.

With a clear run at it Crouch (Brad) will be a gun, can never have too many of those.

Tomlinson is an interesting one but from what I hear we didn't even talk to him over the last trade period. Carlton and another club that escapes me now were pretty keen on him though.

I don't understand the Tomlinson love. We have been linked to him for about 3 years now and I have kept an eye on him. There just isn't anything to get excited about in my opinion.

Not once have i read in the last 3 years we are interested in Tomlinson.

One who I like and think he could be a very solid tall defender is Ben Griffiths from the Tigers. He's not on that list, but I believe is out of contract at the end of the year. Has had some injury problems in the past but I reckon he has shown a fair bit when fit. He is also in the 24-25 yo bracket.

The Tigers really rate him internally, his training form is brilliant, he just can't translate it into games consistently yet, if we could get him and Macca and Goody could get him playing the way he trains he would be a massive bargain pickup, but i doubt he's going anyway.

Precisely why he won't be available. For cheap at least. Along with a couple others on that list.

Let me rephrase....

There have been a number of posters on Demonland who have raised Tomlinson as a potential trade over the past 3 years.

My point is, he is ordinary and I dont see why people want him.

I really rate Ben Lennon, could get him fairly cheap, our coaching staff could weave their magic and turn him into something gold.

Also anyone who even mentions Ben Griffiths as a possible target, deserves a swift kick in the nuts. I'd rather pop someone like JKH in the ruck over that spud.

Um...new role, mid field, collected 50+ possessions last two weeks in the NEAFL. Boring!

    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
