    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.

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

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
