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.

Giving 6, 27 and next years which will be between 14-18 all for moving 3 spots up in the draft. Turn it up!!

It's not just 3 spots in the draft for them it's the chance to get 2 top 5 picks. 

27 and a GWS future first is probably worth about pick 12. We paid a lot more (given our likely ladder finish) to North for pick 8. 12 and 6 for 3 is about right.

6 and a future first isn't enough, has to be at least another 2nd round pick.

I agree.

They already have a midfield that consists of Taranto, Ward, Coniglio, Kelly,  Hopper, Whitfield, Williams & Toby Greene.

They've also got Caldwell, Hateley & O'Halloran also tryin to get into the side and they would also be adding pick 3 plus Green this year.

Caldwell is the one I want.

6 & Caldwell for 3. Take it or leave it.

And 2020 First Rounder

If GWS can't come up with a better deal with pick 6 and next years first rounder, then we should just keep pick 3 and bid on Greene. Next years draft will be compromised so their first rounder will be most likely 15-20. We need more than that offer. I would ask for an additional pick to add to 6 and next years first rounder.

The entire discussion is based on who we want at pick 3. if our number one choice is likely to make it to 6 then anything else is a bonus. but that doesn't mean we shouldn't play hardball. 

I have a funny feeling we'd be keen on Serong over young, just because he can fill the small forward role and rotate through the midfield.

That would be a robbery. GWS wouldnt even consider it. They need the pick they get back for Bonar to use points to land Green. I’m of the mind that GWS 1st round next year will be worth diddly-squat in next years draft. We should be looking at wrenching out pick 6 and a player for 3

Think back to the Hogan trade with GWS.
We gave up more than seemed fair at the time, but in the end we were paying GWS more to make sure they didn't bid on Viney.
If they bid on JV we'd have lost the ability to use pick 4 on another player, so the trade had more intrinsic value to us.

The reverse is happening here with slightly different rules, but the precedent is relevant.

Agreed. for them it's potentially Serong and Green vs Green and no other pics. 

i can see exactly why they're so desperate to do that deal.

Pick 3 for 6 + Caldwell or O'Halloran

NOT 3 for 6 + 2020 1st rounder

GWS want pick 3 and Green with late trash picks, then cough the [censored] up! Otherwise it's Green at 6 only.

Play hard Dees.

100% agree.
We didn't do all this work, and aren't willing to greatly assist (a top-4 rival in) GWS, just to get back a late first rounder next year. 

I also like the idea of North giving our 2nd rounder to GWS for Bonar, then GWS giving it back to us.

Bonar isn’t going to North. Maybe Essendon, which would be 31 or 33.

Nothing wrong with hitting the draft with pick 3 and 8. infact it's a great position. 

i'm sure GWS understand that and we're silly if we aren't demanding a best 22 player along with pick 6 for pick 3. 

we need a deal that improves our side for 2020 for this to be worth it.

Geez if we do 6 and 2020 first rounder demonland will go into meltdown. (Me included). 

Hope it doesn’t happen. Not for that scenario anyway. 

Agree. 

Mahoney and co. would've been bent over. 

I have liked their trade period up until now, but this was our chance to play serious hardball and get a gun player.

F**k a late first round pick next year. What a joke.

This. 

If we do this it ruins our trade period imo and undoes all the good work to date this year. 

We need to stay firm and get more for  the pic.

We can trade pic 3 right up to trade night so no need for us to jump at GWS offer. 

Sit back and see if the return increases as we would be in no rush. 

I think assuming it's picks only.

i'd be telling them if they can add a pick of 13 or better to add with 6 i'd do it. 

if we can get Weightman at 13 and say Ash and Stephens at 6 and 8 that'd be a good overall result.

No need to after today.  Would only want to swap if we garner a gun player off them with pick 6 and that opp finishes this evening Ox.

To have 6,8 and 13 wouldn’t be bad. Would also push for a future pic just to see if we can squeeze some more out of it. 

We don’t know how desperate gws are.

I suspect they're pretty keen. 

maybe if they did a deal with the Suns for pick 15. we could get thier pick 40 odd as well.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
