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.

Sorry if its onthe wrong thread but just a hyperthetical for next year.

The trtade rumours of Hogan to head back home will be bbeating lowder than ever and I think he is a real chance to elect to go - obviously dependent on where we and Freo finish.

I would be demanding  the 2 first rounders as a base minimum and be looking at slingshotting them to GC for Lynch who is  already talking of heading back to Victoria.

IMO thats a like for like WIn / Win.

Please let me reiterate that I am a huge Hogan fan and do not want him to leave at all

You’re letting down team WA.

Not related to the trade period exactly but I’ve been told by a reliable connection that max gawn is nutting out the final details of a new medium term deal. 

And Christian petracca is talking to the club about a new four year deal.

 

Mahoney said as much re Gawn during one of his media rounds in the last day

Trac news is very pleasing

Charlie Cameron to Brisbane for Pick 12 then Picks 12 to us for for 29, 31 and 36. You heard it first :)

On face value that is a good deal for Brisbane, but I hope we do it because I have heard the draft seriously drops off after the first round. Have heard it from a few very good judges. I hope we do trade into pick 12 because 29, 31 and 36 may not be much good this year.

Doesn’t leave us with enough picks in the draft 

Draft picks are essentially infinite. After 84 our next one would be 102. Of course not every club will use more than three selections so those figures would probably come into 70-odd and 80-odd.

Please please tell me Cristian's manager is holding us over the barrel on his four-year deal.

You're joking right. 84 will be used to upgrade Smith. So you are proposing to draft a player with 102. He'll be a gun.

Not actually infinite.  Every club could delist every player so 18 x 40 = 720 picks

We should pass for 15 rounds and then pick our last intended target at #685 - just to nullify the sort of expectations that Watts and Trengove have had to suffer through. And if he breaks into the team, then we'll have the draft steal of the century.

My understanding is that rookie upgrades are the last selections in the draft, so in this scenario Smith would be upgraded with 102. I could be wrong however.

And no, I wasn't proposing that... Just pointing out that if the aforementioned trade happened or similar, there would still be allocated draft picks to make the list changes required.

Entering the final day of Trade Week, what out-of-the-box surprises would people love to see us pull off?

I want one of those mystery riddles to finally come true. @Siren's mysterious Victorian midfielder was this year's riddle. I'd like to snag him. I did see a post a while back about "landing a big fish" and when out on a boat you use a Gaff to do that. 

One can only wish

So much for all the player unrest about Watts getting traded lol

Nice reality check for the JW fanboys.

Lets see how Adelaide go dealing with Carlton today , serves then right, both arrogant pack of [censored] teams haggling over extra second rounders to the Gibbs deal. 

As I said previously we are the best (and by far most reasonable) team to deal with in trade week. Other clubs have held out for something better or have been hypocritical in their demands when the shoe is on the other foot 

no wonder those bastards lick their lips when we come knocking

Apologies Redbeard, wasn't meant to be a riddle but the information at hand at the time. 

Not a peep out of the club since trade week officially started

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
