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.

I don’t really follow much of the draft stuff but what are the chances we get both Green & Kemp ?

I would say extremely low.

We could potentially draft both if we wanted to as it appears that GWS would not match our bid on Green in favour of Jackson. However it’s sounding like we will be taking Jackson at pick 3 and not bidding on Green.

At pick 10 it’s sounding as though we are most interested in one of Young/Ash/Stephens/Weightman. If we split pick 10 then we might be a chance of landing Kemp but personally I think he will be out of our reach if we were to do that.

I for one would be very pleased with Green and Kemp but just don’t see it happening.

Both just sound like they have so much potential IMO. Plus do we really need Jackson considering we have Max ?

Not even sure if this is possible of if it favours us but ...

Let's say Dees nominate Green with pick 3.

Giants come to us and say we will give you pick 4 and a future second round for pick 3.

We say yes, then giants get jackson at 3 and green at 4 (as dees nominate him again at pick 4).

Dees pick then becomes pick 5.

Dees nominate Henry.

Freo come to us and say we give you picks 8 and 9 (after green match) for pick 5 and 28 (i know they gave it to us so it can be that pick, but lets pretend to keep it 'easy').

We say thanks for that.

Freo pick say Aish at 5.

Swans pick Flanders at 6.

Adelaide pick McAsey at 7.

Dees nominate Henry again - matched by Freo at pick 8.

Dees then have picks 9, 10 and 12.

Presumably dees would take Young with pick 9.

Dees could then do a trade with the Cats for example they have two future first round picks WCE and Cats.

Dees could trade 10 for 16 and a future first round picks.

Meaning dees would go from picks 3, 10 and 30 (after matching picks) - to picks 9, 12, 16 and get a future first and second round pick.

As I said, not sure if that is even a good deal or if its even possible,  but if possible dees could screw up a lot of clubs plans.

@Ethan Tremblay The trade whisperer - Yesterday's man....

He’s just speculating at this stage, a poor mans Grand New Flag minus the riddles, if you will. It’ll take some sort of trade whisperer to beat my strike rate of 100.00.

Edit: Confirmed, he’s a fraud. The Herald Sun were already reporting that we may split pick 10.

My fave thing we could do would be to swap 3 for 5 and 25 from swans, let them have Green and screw over giants. Then we get whoever isn't taken out of Young, Jackson or whoever else we would like. I wish we had a need for Flanders so we could wreck Adelaide as well. 

There's a lot of merit in this line of thinking.

It'd be an interesting move, but would also mean we likely miss out on Green and Jackson, if it's true GWS won't match.

Yeah - it's a biased opinion, because I would be happy with Young and another prospect on top as well as limiting the GWS haul.

Fair enough. Im happy with one of Green/Jackson/Young, not set for or against any in particular. There seem to be a few interesting prospects in the 15-25 range like de Konig and Gould, so wouldn't mind an earlyish 2nd rounder if we can get one back.

My track record speaks for itself Basil.

Stick to the jokes, the classic Demonland nastiness doesn't suit you.

So any of ye two trade whisperers think anything likely to happen before the day is out?

I was told by a semi-reliable source that yesterday we were in negotiations. Make of it what you will. If the deal gets done, then it’ll happen.

Stranger things have happened but would be surprised if Young & Ash slip through as far as 10.  Both top 7/8 prospects imv.  We gave up the chance for Ash when we swapped pick 8.

GWS can't trade their second round as they've traded their first round. They also need some form of points for the pick matching. The rest of your post is about as likely to happen as gc trading picks 1+2 for 3

We say yes, then giants get jackson at 3 and green at 4 (as dees nominate him again at pick 4).

Dees pick then becomes pick 5.

You can't trade a pick that you've used in a bid.

    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
