Not sure if you're aware mate, but recruiting decisions aren't based on a Demonland consensus.

Shut down all posts that don't have a direct line to Paul Roos, Peter Jackson or Todd Viney.

My post is an OPINION ... get it !!!

Negative. Neanderthal. Need I continue.

Not necessarily. We courted Lyons last year as well. It's only natural we'd caught him again as his situation hasn't really changed much and neither has ours. We still need more mids.

Could anyone see a Toumpas + our 4th round (59ish) for Lyons and their 2nd (30ish)?

so many people writing off Toumpas

Not writing Toumpas off - You've got to give something to get something.

He's not worth our 2nd round and hopefully our 3rd round is reserved for Stretch. Our fourth round will probably be too low at pick 60ish and we don't have many players with currency.

The deal I put forward is essentially Toumpas and steak knives for Lyon and a pick we can swap for Lumumba. Two top 25 players for one we barely saw in 2014. I'd certainly think about that deal (although I might be over-rating Lyon).

Haven't heard his name much this trade period

Has he re-signed with the Crows?

Are the Dees interested? Demonlanders seemed to be pretty keen last year and now he's available we've been pretty quiet.

Any news anyone?

He should have taken the offer up from the Dees last year. Would have played a lot of footy with us this year and a lot midfield action.

I like the idea of picking him up in the PSD unless we already have someone else in mind (Frost?).

Goodwin has come out only last week to say categorically that Toumpas is not on the trade table and is part of Melbourne's forward plans!

Signed a 2 year contract with the Crows today.

Presumably now off the radar?

I'd say so. I'm not sure how on the radar he would've been anyway. Not when we'd have to trade something good to get him. Certainly now we have the first live PSD pick we'd be chasing anyone of quality we can find out of contract to tank their negotiations and come to us. But not before.

I did really like the idea of Lyons, particularly last year. But looking deeper I'm not convinced he'd offer us anything more than what injury free Riley and Michie should offer in 2015.

He's not tall, not fast, not particularly skilled nor is he that Nath Jones or Jack Viney level of inside ball winning animal. Riley might win a clearance or stick a tackle better than him, and Viv might take a mark or kick a goal better than him.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’
