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.

any word re tomlinson?

the other one that is doing the traps is jenkins to the dees

The clouds seem to have aligned on the Jenkins rumour. 

Unlike several of the fantasy rumours we hear at this point in the season, this one actually makes sense.

Well, I guess it makes sense.

We are in need of a small forward.

Hoping the people i'm speaking to are wrong, but i'm hearing the Saints and Hawks are ahead of us in the race for Hill. we are having to be pretty creative Salary cap wise to come up with a financial offer to get him and Langdon and it's looking like the club is prioirtising Langdon over Hill. and the Saints and Hawks have some money to splash. 

Big novice when it comes to trade time so excuse my ignorance but...

Hill is a must get.  Langdon i have no idea as i haven't watched him closely at all really.  We are severley lacking in this player type and skill set though (Hill).

Im not sure why we are re-signing depth players when we are in dire need of two quality outsiders, a genuine KF & two small forwards.

We can't wait and hope that rookies will just miraculously fill these key roles with such a narrow window available.

Surely there's plenty of dead wood or surplus depth players that can be traded and/or delisted to free up the salary cap, improve our coffers and go on a shopping spree!??

We all Know Freo are crap to deal with , whether we are late to the race or not they will drag it out to suit themselves, it will all come down to the offer that is made. Freo wont care if its hawks or Melbourne , it will be the best offer for them.

Brad hill has asked for a trade back to victoria for his wife (she's from Vic).  Announced by Lyon on the news.

I may have missed something since, but that's not what Lyon said at all as far as I've seen.

“Brad’s playing super football … we have a strong working relationship and respectful on both sides,” Lyon told reporters.

“We empathise and try and put ourselves in all our players' shoes. But at the end of the day we have list managers and football sub-committees that get to work on those types of situations when they arise.

“I’m sure we will deal with the situation when it arises.”

Robbo reckons Saints are leading the race at this point.

I’m pretty desensitised to the utter shitfulness of this club. That being said. If this crap season means Hill overlooks us as a designation to instead go to [censored] St Kilda,....I will be displeased.

 Hill is exactly the player we are crying out for.

i sincerely hope the club has their ears to the ground and is ready at the drop of the hat to clear a salary or two off the books, irrespective of how many games they've played at the club, in order to match or even exceed a bid that the Saints are offering (Could be Frost, Jones, Garlett etc). I'd rather Hill and 2 more young draftees on minimum afl wage that wont even play a game, than 2 seniors on 350-400k who we are still waiting on whether they can make it, or if they have another year of afl standard footy to give.

I wonder if it's all tied in with the news that Jack Steven will probably be off to Geelong this year, and how much cap space that frees up for them. We might actually be outbid by a far bigger amount than we can possibly make up.

St Kilda could offer him a lot more cash, our salary cap is getting stretched. 

 

I thought Mahoney said last year there was space for another big fish this year?

Has the Club (as opposed to journos) revealed that our cap is tight?

We should have some room. After we signed Lever Mahoney said there was room for another. We got May but lost Hogan. So realistically money should not be a concern.

Jenkins is a spud, who is huge but has no presence on the field and not what we are after.

 

 

Agree on Jenkins. Downhill skier and gets the easy ball. We don’t need him.

So what can we give up to get him here ? Is it better than the Saints or Hawks offers ?

Sure we may not be able to pay him the most but he would get the chance to train in the best facilities, with the best medicos, in a team that consistently makes the finals and plays numerous blockbusters in front of big crowds.

to be honest i think the $$ side of things is where they have a big edge over us in this race.

In the interview he says his partner is from Melbourne and they may move back to Victoria in future to start a family. He said it's not happening now and the rumours aren't true. He's not asking for a trade and his manager hasn't spoken to anyone but Freo. Usual straight bat stuff, as we're still in the season and he's contracted to Freo for 2 more years.

I don't think we'd get both him and Langdon, but one of them may be gettable and a good result as long as no first round pick is involved.

Suggested yesterday that Stevens goes to Geelong, Kelly goes to Free and Hill goes to the Saints with swaps of late draft picks. No good for us but seems a good fit with 3 players who want to play elsewhere.

If we get pick 2 please take Noah Anderson and do not trade it away for anybody

Would we be happy to get Landon for our 2nd pick, currently around 21ish? is that what we are thinking? its a bit hard to get a feeling on what he is actually worth?

Only problem is Stevens is old and not worth the value of the other 2.

Im not saying it won't happen, but I doubt it will happen as you've put "late picks involved" only

How can our salary cap be stretched when we have 2 imports and Gawn on big money. we also lost hogan. 

we should have a lot of room to spare.  god knows most players negotiating a new contract this year wont be getting more money based on 2019 performance

    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
