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.

We have Garlett, Tyson and Hunt who can't get a game and would get some interest I'm not sure what we could get for them though.

So, do we have a pick in 2nd Rnd ?

yes we do. >>> http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-01/indicative-draft-order-round-six-edition

So what would Pick 25 & say Tyson, net us in a pick ?

What would Garlett and Pick 43 net us, in a pick?

Tyson & pick 25 would probably land us a pick between 15 & 20 if we were to add Hunt and that may tempt Port to let go Wines.

Garlett and pick 43 wouldn't land us much of a pick maybe pick 40 but pick 43 and Garlett should land us Langdon you wouldn't want to pay much more for Langdon.

Langdon is being chased by several clubs and it would cost more than that if a deal could be done.

No it shouldn't he would not be able to get into our senior team. If it costs more let him go.

According to Kane Cornes, Port have had an offer on the table to Wines for some time. The offer would make him the highest paid at the club. I wonder what the  hold up is? Perhaps chasing success over mediocrity.

seller's market, ethan

there is no need for wines to hurry. besides may want a longer or shorter contract

90% sure to re-sign though. mfc got nothing tradewise to offer

best to hope he only extends till his rfa year (not long), then we can swoop

I don't know Langdon.  I remember his name from U-18's, but I know nothink.

 

But your see what i'm getting at, where there is a will, then there is a way.

Actually I would prefer we went after DShiel, than Wines. Shiel is definately better in ball use.

But I think we do need that extra quality inside player. 

Maybe Maynard will come good, but he is also a mature age... VDB I don't know.

It's time for some cleansing of the list, preferably Via trade than delisting.

But we have to be in it, if we want the chance to win Anything.

No chance of getting Wines as Lord Trav mentioned we have nothing to give Port.

We can give them Jack Watts cardboard cutouts. I’m sure there are some in storage that need dusting and moving on.

Everyone needs to get this in their head.

We do not have a first round pick this year.

We are not allowed to trade our first round pick from next year. 

How do we get Wines or other players who are not free agents and have to be traded for? The answer is we can’t, unless we trade our quality. So unless we are willing to trade Hogan, Oliver or Petracca, then this trade, or trades for other good players such as Langdon, cannot happen.

Who says we can't trade out first rounder next year? AFLs policy on this is anything but clear. They approved the Cats trading out there's when no-one thought they'd be able to.

yes, the 'can't trade your first rounder in consecutive years is very rubbery

as we picked oliver and weideman three years back and haven't had a first rounder since then, it would seem that we can't trade it

but geelong seemed to have no dramas doing the equivalent last year

as per usual, the afl makes it up as it goes along

It seems if the will is strong enough,  the AFL will bend ?

Poor old conservative Melbourne has never bent anything since back in the mid 60's,,,  when the whole world was bending things, from rules, to spoons.

 

 

Since that time the only thing Melbourne has bent, is our minds.

I think with Wines we'd run the risk of being like Port currently... Boak, Wines, Ebert, Rockliff... Plenty of grunt but little class or x-factor in the middle.

They may have won last night, but they're an average side.

He isn’t going anywhere. Said he will decide soon so he can only be staying at port and holding out for the best contract

He said the exact same thing in late April also and when interviewed by Garry on SEN this week got a little uncomfortable and couldn't give a straight answer. He's definitely considering bigger offers IMO

rotations mach5, rotations. You don't play all the same type in the one setup you rotate them.

He’s great but not what our midfield ‘needs’...

Gaff is definitely a skill set that would compliment Viney/Oliver/Jones/Harmes/Brayshaw et al.

Also Petracca over the next few years will progressively spend more time in the midfield and he is something no team has enough of; power mid with good hands and explosive speed culminating in very good skills out of a contest.

So keep some room for that to happen...

I'd say Carlton or maybe even Essendon are into him.

Essendon need to learn how run hard defensively as a unit.

St Kilda don't need his grunt - they need class.

Dogs wouldn't be an attractive destination at the moment, all going pear-shaped.

Hawthorn would be just the type of team to come out of nowhere with a big offer.

Did you see his game last night?

”We don’t need that” 

only arrogance or stupidity would turn that down

WYL, let's have a tiresome back and forth over the definition of 'needs' in inverted commas...

Or you can accept that Viney and Oliver and Jones have more in common with Wines than they do with Gaff or other outside players?

North want a big fish to choose them and they are looking better now than they were even 4-5 weeks ago

    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. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    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
