    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.

This has nothing to do with current form , and im just throwing it out there:

If Hogan does want to go at the end of 2017

Hogan to Freo - as a result of huge coin and the go home factor.

Fyfe to Gold Coast - I feel as if they will lose Prestia & Swallow at least and will be looking for a marketing mega star to take over from Gazza.

2M Peter to Melbourne.

All players are out of contract in 2017

2M peter is a good player/talent, but i am not sure i have him rated in the same group as Hogan/Fyfe

I'd want something else to go with him.

Billy Stretch is a far more superior player then Lewis and he would be on about 70 to 90k a year

Its actually very embarrassing he is getting paid that much.

Billy has earned $150,055 so far this year.

Base - $76,905 (2nd year, 3rd round pick, 11 games in 1st year)

Match Payments -  $73,150 (14 matchs @ $5,225 - 2nd year, 3rd round pick, 11 games in 1st year)

If he plays the last 3 games you can add another $15,675 ie $165,730.

Jason Taylor came to me in a dream last night and the draft whisperer confided in me what the future held for the grand old flag and it was akin to the music of miles davis and John Abercrombie and in that dream world where white horses had heads like stinger and robbie and big jimmy I saw again my first afl game in 1964 and I was standing on empty beer cans provided by my dad and his brother and we sang the song and it was a glorious September moment but I am grey now and Septembers have been more often hollow than glorious.

Grey Wolf Grey Wolf sang Jason let me tell you of a new future because it will be blue in 2017 when we finish seventh and blue again in 2018 when we are fifth but it will be red in 2019 and in 2020 when we sing again on the last September Saturday. Tell me tell me how JT how can it be and he did and it was so......

We get Prestia from the Suns with our 2017 first pick and we swap Hibberd for Garland and we get pick 24 from the Suns for Grimes and we get pick 28 from the lions for Trengrove and we hoodwink the Dons into giving us 37 for Dawes and they take Terlich as well and and the lions give us 42 for Dunne and the result of all that is we now have picks 24 26 28 37 42 44 62 and 80 and we talk to the Giants and they swap our picks 24 26 28 37 for their 15 and 34 and we ring the Dons and we have Hurley for 15 and we go to the draft with 34 42 44 to pick up three young kids or upgrade rookies.

And he takes me to the G and we sit together and watch the first game of 2017 against the saints and in this dream this is how we look.....

Only minus Hurley and Prestia so far. We'll add those types over the next 2-3 years. Most of those players are in place.

I had to pinch myself for as I walked up through my rainforest because their laying between the buttress roots of a giant red cedar that was probably a sapling when the first football was ever kicked in hope was a man smoking a cigar and I scratched my nose because it was can you believe it yes it was no crap it was it was JT himself and I greeted him with awe and he said hi grey wolf good to see you awake.

JT I chortled my dream is in tatters mate no prestia and no hurley and he blew cigar smoke up into the giant tree and looking directly at me he sighed and said no worries old grey wolf no need to worry because these things fall out for the best and we just light another pipe and open our minds to new possibilities and we can be a deeper blue and our red years can go on longer and if you take a drag on my smoke you might see it too and I did and I did it again and again and I saw it...

JT and TV were at the bar in the Portsea pub and they were earnest and roger in their conversation and I could hear it and JT said to TV don't worry about Hurley mate young OMac is the goods and BMc and SG and JR can make him as good as his bro and prestia wanted too much coin and young salem could still be anything and so here is the new idea todd and I was sucking in more smoke under the tree to hear every word and this is the new plan I heard...

So todd we will give the giants our 2017 first pick and they will give us pick 14 this year and so we end up with 14 15 34 42 and 44 at the draft and todd you know who we are after with these picks don't you and todd started laughing so loudly he fell off his chair and the cigar was finished.

I'd offer a 4 year deal to Devon Smith on average coin and see what he says. I know he's contracted, but he could be that extra dangerous forward, run through the middle and has decent toe. He seems to have been off this year and in and out of the GWS side. He could really add a bit of extra class and x factor next year. Thoughts?

I like him, but he strikes me as a Dean Kent type of player.  Do we need him?  Do we think he could make the transition to the midfield?

I think we lack a depth of competent, consistent small forwards. Garlett, Kent and Kennedy have all been inconsistent at various stages of this year. Even if they all come good, someone like Smith would small forward depth and an ability to play midfield.

Watching the Suns and there has to be a few unhappy campers there who would want out.

No idea the contract status of a few of them but Hall, Miller, Saad and Kolodashnij interest. Most give that bit of outside toe which would be nice. 

Kolo showed a lot last year and has gone backwards at a rate of knots this season. Surely would be keen on a change of scnenery

I have heard  similar UB from a Richmond supporter with some inside connections they are chasing him, however with Prestia Punt Rd bound the issue will be cost.  At their last women's lunch in Canberra, a work acquaintance was seated next to Jack and she asked him if he was leaving.  He played a straight bat of course and gave the party line and I imagine as a Belconnen boy he would dearly love to stay at GWS. The problem for him is that their Academy (cough) keeps producing and he's no certainty to be in the 22 in any given week at the Giants - not so much with the Tigers .  

Interestingly when Hardwick was on the couch Gerard directly asked him whether he'd trade Deledio for Steele and Marchbank.  Hardwick swatted it away, but it was a very direct question which I assume has some credence.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
