  • 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.

Harmes (wouldn't get it.)  Stretch (maybe but it would gut the supporters given the father ...son)... Watts (perhaps but ditto what I said about Stretch) After that it gets even harder.

It belongs in the Hartlett thread but - we'd have to give our 2017 1st rounder.  It's possible ANB could be worked into a deal.  A 3rd club like GC with lots of 2016 first rounders may need to be involved.  It's do-able.

If I remember rightly, that was also the draft Carlton were supposed to have pick 1 (Goddard) and 2 (Wells) but lost both due to salary cap sanctions.  Super harsh penalty and, combined with some seri

With the 4 already let go, the Roos will not lose Wells. There would be blood on Arden Street. He will get more money and stay.

You are of course right Redleg but it's fun to think about it.

The deal will not just be about money... it will be length of offer.... there might be some leverage there for a club willing to take a risk.

By the way.... how do these offers that also include an offer as an assistant coach after retirement work with the salary cap. Seem to be hearing a few of those around this year or am I just imagining it.

2017 1st Round Pick to GWS for Pick 15 and fringe player eg James Stewart (in case Hogan seeks a trade).

Then send Pick 15 with someone eg Neal-Bullen to Port for Hartlett.

That's how you get it done.

Would Port trust us ever again on a player "with potential" trade?

Don't affect salary cap, as not a player when they become a coach.

If we had drafted Wines and Toump was there at their pick, they would have picked him. They were happy to get him back for nothing and hope he fired.

Ah yes! Buyer beware i guess.....

I would just think they would want something more substantial than a fringe player that played a handful of unremarkable games and 15.  15 & Garlett/Vandenberg perhaps? I don't know whether that's overs or unders considering Garletts form. 15 or ANB/Michie/Dawes/JKH seems too little.

With North's window completely closed (not that it was ever really open), and Brad Scott shafting 4 of his mates, maybe he would be keen to jump ship.

A free hit in terms of not having to trade draft picks, but will obviously take a fair bit of cap space for a year or two.

The exact sort of player we need, and if we think we could get 3 years out of him, then I would go for it. But obviously 3 years is a big ask given his injury history.

Wells is good enough to take a chance on. 

Those worries about cap space next year, why? All our best players are under 22. We have been over paying our players for years. In 4 years our cap will be an issue certainly not now. 

Just give him the 500 Dawes was on. Or the 400 Dunn and grimes etc are on

They can't blame us for that.  Up to them to do their own due diligence.  

Arrogant sods thought all they had to do was "de-Melbourne" him

Well now he has to be de-Ported. 

Back to Wells - I'd rather not go near him. At his best he's undeniably a jet, one of those rare players who can change the course of a game in a ten minute burst. However his age & injury record should have us steering clear.

No, I'm pretty sure you haven't.

Given you're going into pretty much every trading thread and dropping his name, I certainly get that you want it to happen.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    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

    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
