Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

are you hearing anything regarding the other big rumour of the day GNF?

I have been aware that we have been into Rockcliff for a few weeks, but there are many players never discussed on here that we are into and only a tiny percentage of these end in a trade.

I was updated last week that we thought we were the front runner and were carefully considering his personality and likely to make an offer. That was pre the Jordan Lewis bombshell that came completely from left field. It's not everyday an elite but aging star knocks on your door and tells you he wants to play for you!!!!! 

Anyway, the other rumour of the day is most probably true. 

It could be an epic trading period..... one which we had no first round picks and were expected to do nothing.

GWS drove a hard bargain with the Pies over Treloar ... in my opinion, they drove that hard bargain because they of all clubs, know about the vagaries of drafting.  They've had numerous first round picks and many of those picks have not or are not bearing fruit.

Not enough has been said about how a fledgling club like the Giants managed to eke out 2 pick 7's from an established club like Collingwood.  That transaction is an outlier but did the Pies get dudded?

In terms of what should happen, no, but in terms of what normally happens, yes, they did get dudded.

In comparison, a similar player to Treloar in Tom Mitchell goes for pick 14 alone.  Are there other factors that we don't know about?

Macca, I reckon if you want to continue this argument then you need to find some more relevant examples.  Treloar has no relevance at all in this; he was 22 at the time he was traded.  I agree with the vagaries of the draft and the risks with picks; in the draft you might get a 10 year player or you might draft a spud.  In this case though, the receiving club a 1-3 year player and Hawthorn get a 0-10 year player in return.  In the case of Treloar, Collingwood received a player you'd expect to be a 8-10 year player at worst, who is a known gun.  You would expect them to pay a heavy premium of that sort of player.  Tom Mitchell is in the same category.  Lewis isn't, because his longevity in the game is greatly shorter than the others.

I go in to any argument expecting to be persuaded, especially when up against someone whose posts I love reading.  Show me recent examples of clubs giving up anything greater than a third round pick for a player on the wrong side of 30, and I'll concede that that is where the price might be.

Pray Tell, what is 'the other rumour' I'm desperately awaiting enlightenment, almost as much as I crave winning a lottery or a date with Sophia Loren.

Moving the goal posts a bit now i reckon mate, 

Treloar is a match winner and an A grader with another decade in the game, Lewis has been a very good player but he's coming towards the end of a great career now.

if you compare Treloar vs Mitchell you're talking about a match winner vs an accumulator, bit like comparing Nathan Jones to Patrick Dangerfield in my opinion. 

I reckon if a legend of your club asks you for a trade you facilitate the move as best you can, and i reckon pick 47 is quite generous, MFC could quite rightly point out that the Hawks have just traded a "better" contracted player for essentially pick 88.

This is becoming fascinating. 

One poster who claims to have a couple of good contacts sets out a deal for Rockliff that he says will get done. 

Then another who is known to have good info says the player's club knows nothing about it.

Then another who has had some good info says we have been into the player for a while. 

Just to further confuse the issue, I heard that he was not someone we would be chasing.

Confused, I am.

Call my cynical - anyone else worried by Pickering's comments today? News reporting tonight Lewis is considering decision this weekend. 

 

The involvement of "Integrity" Pickering means that anything is possible. Don't count your chickens. With "My Word Is My Bond" Pickering for a manager, Lewis is just as likely end up playing rugby in France.

The only sure thing in this trade is that it's going to get dark at night, and the sun's going to come up in the morning.

Lewis isnt conaidering his future. Multiple sources say he told the club on Friday he wanted to be traded to Melbourne.

Zanotti files reports this year's second rounder for Rockcliff, next years for Hibberd and third rounder for Lewis.

Considering a player sponsor claimed MFC had no interest in Rockcliff it sounds like we very much do.

The most fascinating thing about this is that all these posters could be telling the truth. Trade week is a smoke and mirrors game with many constantly moving parts. 

I find the latest rumour on Rockcliff interesting and give it some credit as I know we were having a look last Monday. It may be true. But please don't misread what I am saying. I have had no info since last Monday.

2nd rounder or 3rd round it doesn't matter because if we want to play finals next year a 31 year old A grader is going to help us get there ahead of an 18 year who will take 4 years to develop if they make it at all.

Im sick of drafting for the future, let's trade for next year for a change. 

Drafting for the future is what we have been doing for the past 10 year and it has got us nowhere!!

I wish I could give you examples but even if I did, it wouldn't change my view on what I believe a draft pick is worth.  A draft pick does not have a definite outcome especially in comparison to what an established A grade elite player can offer.  If you don't believe that Lewis can give us 3 elite years then we're going to have to disagree on that.  I believe he can.

I brought up the Treloar/Mitchell trades as an aside to highlight how those trades seemed to be lopsided in comparison to each other. 

The biggest issue here is the value of draft picks ... and that is a huge factor in this discussion.  Many have an unfailing belief in drafting so they see a 2nd round draft pick as a far more valuable commodity than I do.  So my pick 25 is their pick 47.   Pick 47 is a pick that may not return much in my eyes even though a pick at that number can turn up trumps.  But not often enough so I don't like the percentage play. 

If I viewed pick 47 as being valuable then I wouldn't be arguing the point.

I was comparing Treloar to Mitchell as a way of highlighting how similar players can get outcomes with regards to draft picks that are poles apart.  Is Treloar that much better than Mitchell? 2 x pick 7 vs pick 14 alone. 

I don't regard the Sam Mitchell trade as having anything to do with this Lewis trade and I stated that earlier.   I believe the Hawks offloaded Sam for salary cap reasons and Lewis has become collateral damage as a consequence.

My value for Lewis would be at about pick 22 - 28 (which is a 2nd round pick) - whether the Hawks can get that remains to be seen.  You disagree so lets agree to disagree.  I rate Lewis as an elite player and if he stays injury free, I believe we can get 3 elite years out of him.  That's my 'blue-sky' bit. 

By the way, you're more likely to be right because I believe the clubs overrate draft picks too.  This is a very subjective discussion point where many people haven't been challenged before about their belief systems in drafting.

I completely understand where you're coming from mate, if this decision is based on form alone he's worth a good pick, 2nd in the B&F of a top 3 side is pretty handy, i guess the biggest concern being how long can he keep playing for

We're pretty much arguing the same point mate, but reaching a different conclusion.  This the beauty of this stuff!

Like I said - third round draft pick is a 0-10 year player.  Lewis is a 1-3 year player.  For the pick, the question is over quality, for Lewis it's over longevity.  The risks are comparable IMO, but I'll agree to disagree as you weight them differently.

Treloar is a 8-10 year player of high quality- the most valuable of the three by a long shot.  

BTW, In general I've always shared your view that supporters and club vastly overrate draft picks, especially earlier ones.  I did an on the back of an envelope type look once and the chances of picking a complete dud in the top 20 was about 50% - astronomically high.  I think my thinking in this case leads me to believe that perhaps the footy in public underrates the value of late picks (third round and beyond) though.  I've never done the study, but it wouldn't surprise me if the probably of getting a decent player in the third round was comparable to getting one in the first or second round.

Spot on. 

We need a few players who have been there done that and am capable (sorry HL, CD). 

Not 100% on bringing in tomR but welcome the FD decision. Have been great the last 3 years

And my two cents is that this is directy related to the age players are drafted. getting 17-18 year old kids is a raffle. So much cann change physically and mental between that age and say 21, 22. the NBA and NFL also has its share of busts but the college system and that fact that most players are 2- 22 hen drafted makes them much rarer - at least at the top end of the draft.

I don't know but i wonder if late picks are sometimes older players, like vanders and perhaps more predicable.

We would have been happy to have Thompson on a one year deal but Lewis.......3 Years......he is only 29....this is exciting. Think I'll go and play my personal trombone uncle bitter.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter.

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
