    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 have heard the draft falls away after about pick 40. So don't know what the value of a pick in the 40's or 50s is

If Michie agrees to come it will be done for pick 54.

Trading our 3rd round for injury plagued unproven player is crazy. He also went pick #44 so its not far off.

Silly season is back and so am I.

Ok here is what is going to happen if all players agree to come to the Dees.

Viv Michie to Melbourne for pick 54 (4th round pick)

Bernie Vince and Jarryd Lyons to Melbourne for Sylvia Comp pick (20s) or it will be our 2nd rounder one or the other plus our 3rd round pick 34.

Daniel cross Delisted free agent .

Pick 2 we will keep and pick 20 or compo pick. No Suitable trade will get done. So we will have 2 picks in top 30.

You heard it here first.

First one done.

Jarryd Lyons next.

But if you had to chose - Vince is the better player now, Myers has the potential to be better. Personally, I would maybe prefer the instant injection of Vince, but would not be displeased with Myers

I think Bernie is GWS bound, sigh was really looking forward to him.

Also on SEN tonight Schwarz was extremely confident we are trading pick 2 to GWS for Dyan Shiel and possibly another player.

Also

@SamLandsberger
If GWS snags pick 2 from Melbourne, bank on a Tom Boyd-Josh Kelly quinella at the draft. Boyd the standout star and SOS a massive Kelly fan

Watch this space guys. Things are happening.

Imagine if we did:

Pick 2 for Shiel

Pick 20 for Vince

Pick 21 for Myers

Pick 36 for Lyons

Pick 54 for Michie (Done)

I highly doubt we trade our first five picks, but man, our midfield...

N Jones, Viney, Shiel, Vince, Myers, Toumpas, Trengove, Watts, M Jones, Michie, Lyons, Evans, Barry. In addition to KPP's Frawley, McDonald, Garland, Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Gawn.

Things would be well and truly looking up for our football club.

EDIT: Daniel Cross would also be nice :)

Like the thinking but we still need to use 3 picks in the draft. I'd say we will trade a couple of those, but something tells me that if we get a player/players for pick 2 then we may not make too many more deals after that.

Upgrade Clisby and find another Terlich and Jones with the picks in the 60-80s and there's your three. Given the relative age of our list and the urgency of our need to improve the midfield, I'd be quite happy to trade our first 5 picks and not pick a single 18 year old this year.

If our trade period turned out as described by Demonof1994, add "wet my pants" to "do back flips".

List spots though?

Can't remember how many we have free, but I have a feeling we'd have to delist another 3.

Can't help myself:

FB: Terlich Frawley Garland

HB: Clisby McDonald Grimes

C: Watts Shiel Myers

HF: Vince Dawes Trengove

FF: Hogan Clark Howe

RR: Gawn Viney N Jones

I/C: Michie Cross Toumpas Kent

Next 10: Fitzpatrick, M Jones, Dunn, McKenzie, Evans, Lyons, Magner, Barry, Jamar, Blease

Wishful thinking, but if this is us, Round 1 2014:

Apparently Lyons manger said he is most likely to stay in Adelaide?

Yep manager is Lucas who stated that he more likely to stay, but I sensed he was just playing a litle bit of hardball on behalf of Adelaide (being a contracted player I'd suggest this is in Lucus' best interest). However I think he, like Adelaide is looking for a little more. Adelaide wanting a better pick and his client wanting a little more cash to jump ship. I think Lyons wants to come but is holding out for us to increase our offer. I think when we have a clearer idea of our compo for Slyvia we will be able to solidify our offers to players like Lyons.

Looking at that 22 just above makes me realise we are unlikely to bring in so many.

I'm tipping Myers only if we don't get Vince, and not Lyons, then Cross as a FA.

Meaning we only bring in 2 players through trade, unless we trade pick 2 for a Shiel calibre player.

    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.

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.

    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
