  • 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.

So twice in a generation talent?

I would. You Victorians can keep your own basket cases. Don't be sending them here.

I hope the Suns are right pricks about this trade. Ask for the world and don't budge.  Sorry Jaeger - best we could do was Brisbane. I'm tired of restricted players declaring where they want to

I don't want Prestia. I've just been watching O'Meara playing. He's sublime, once in a generation talent. The club should go hard and land this guy. He would make us a Premiership chance.

O My, he;s seriously good. He's every bit as talented as dangerfield

I posted on another thread that I thought he was the one we should go after provided we can be comfortable with his medical.  

I think the list is good and deep enough that we can take a bit of a risk, depending on what GC want in trade.  

He hasn't played in 2 years so they can't expect a Treloar style trade.

I agree not 2 first rounders but it would definitely be a 1st round pick

His trade value would be a really interesting debate, i suspect he's probably worth 1 first round pick given his talent and the investment the Suns have put into him, but given the financial side of a deal it would take to get him, that would reflect an Adam Treloar type deal so two picks, 

i'd only really want him to come to the Dees if it was a trade for our second round pick and we didn't pay more than 500k a year for him, which obviously is no chance of happening

A fit O'Meara could take us from possible finalist to possible flag chance.

Sometimes you need to play the percentages and others you need to pull the trigger. 

Must have a close look at him.

Nope. 

High Risk plus VERY high price.

Don't get me wrong, great player and all, but I don't think good value for us.

That said, I'd hardly complain.

Our best mids have come through the draft, except Dom and Salem, who were traded for with a pick.

However, if we knew he was fit and was gettable, you would have to try. He would probably cost a couple of decent players or our first 2017 pick and a player.

ATM being still injured, he would be a huge risk and would eat up a bit of salary cap as well.

2 top 10 picks according to Rocket. Compares him to Treloar in terms of quality and trade value.

If fit i'd agree, but O'Meara is not fit, in fact he has not play an AFL game for 2 years now. This significantly diminishes his trade value to either 2 x later first round picks, or 1xtop10 & 1 x 2nd round pick, if GC are lucky.

O'Meara is out of contract and if he chooses to leave, GC will need to accept the best offer that is given to them.

I'm sure GCS would say "fine, if you don't think he's worth it, we're happy to keep him anyway."

It's not a fire sale; if anyone wants O'Meara, they're going to have to pay for him like he is fit or they simply won't get him.

No from me too. We're almost at the stage where we can choose the guys that actually want to play for Melbourne. Unless O'Meara nominates us and then is prepared to come over for $500k (not going to happen), then we should stay away.

We took Salem in the draft, pick 9 (Salem) came with Tyson.

Correct. So only one of our best mids, Tyson was traded for. Now some will throw in Bernie as well, but I was making a general point.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
