    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 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.

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.

Unless you are the Dons and he goes into the PSD.

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

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.

I agree with the general point Red but during the last few years it would have been incredibly hard to get a player to agree on a trade to us.

Im sure if options were available that were rumoured we definitely would have traded some picks.

This time however it feels like our selections were a bit more solid.... Or so far anyways.

Im a massive Jaeger fan, even his name sounds cool. But definitely not worth rolling the dice on for me unless with was for some player/s who desperately wanted out which I can't see being the case

But what I like about all this O'Meara hype is that some desperate and idiotic club will pay way overs for him, the Suns' midfield will be weakened, another opposition club will bloat their salary cap and enable us to go after the players that we need to fill the final few holes. And most likely, O'Meara will never be able to string together a full season at AFL level.

Hmmm ... two top ten picks or equivalent, and $700K p.a., for someone who has been out injured for 2 whole seasons?

Now which club could possibly be that desperate & idiotic??? ...

I actually think he'll end up at Hawthorn. They can afford to take that risk. They almost have to take that risk, given their aging stars.

Agree but I'm not sure where they'll get the picks from.  Freo aren't going to give them pick 3 for Hill.

Maybe this year's 1st and next year's 1st but they won't be < pick 10.

It depends how much they think he'll get back on the park. If they think it's worth it, they might just trade a player or two that could get them the required picks. Or the Suns may just have to accept two late first rounders for him.

Players like who?  Hill apparently is on the table to Freo but that would mean Freo's 2nd rounder e.g. ~21.

They might have to look at someone like Whitecross, Hartung or Shiels. That is, I repeat, if they believe O'Meara's knee will hold up.

None of them deliver a top 10 pick, they're like Hill.

 

Look I agree with you - the Hawks will be desperate to trade their way out of theitr impending cliff but it's not going to be easy.

Yep, I'm lost and the fact that they don't have a couple of fringers that could be bundled together for a first rounder is telling, IMO.

I agree. It'll be a team that can afford to take the risk.

They won't get 2 first round picks. This is their starting point.  It's like any deal, the two parties start at opposite ends of the spectrum and then work toward an agreed middle ground.  

My guess is, if he is traded, it'll end up being a 1st round and a second, or a first round and a third. No club will risk 2 first round picks on someone with such a question mark on fitness.  

Imagine Rocket came out and said, we're only looking for a 2nd round pick for Jaeger.  It's all just media games at this stage.

I think the Hawks are about 1 year off having a North Melbournesque fall.  

O'Meara is one player, they need to replace 4-5 champions.  It's not going to happen.

Yeah, I think they're about a year behind North too. But they're an arrogant football club remember and when clubs get arrogant (Essendon, Melbourne of the 60's and Hawthorn and Geelong now), they tend to believe their own spin. 

I hope and think they will go for O'Meara.

They'll be hitting FA very hard, that's their best course of action, but there doesn't appear to be much there this year.

Is Fyfe a FA at the end of next year?

Next years first round pick and a class player from our list and possibly $600000 will most likely get him. It's so worth it. He'll be our best player for 8 - 10 years.

He won't get on the park, mate. He's barely played AFL footy. I wouldn't give up a Salem/class player from our list for an injury-riddled O'Meara. I'm sorry, I just wouldn't and I don't think the MFC will entertain it either.

You think so?

I wouldn't swap Oliver or Petracca or Brayshaw or Viney for him. Would you?

Definitely not Hunt. Probably not Stretch, Salem or Tyson either. They are fit and don't have damaged Patellas and have played games in the last 2 years.

Was over rated due to his good looks and the latent and not so latent homosexuality of the media fraternity.

Sure he is a good footballer-but give me ugly old Clarrie Choo Choo over this bloke any day.

    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
