    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 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 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.

Who?? Does this guy play for the Dees?

The winger you have when you dont have a winger.

Hope he recovers and has a great pre-season Love to see him play next year.

Considering the club went out to trade in another best 22 wingers doesn’t fill me with confidence about how they rate his chances of recovery. 

I hope I’m wrong for Kade’s sake.

i can't believe he has a 3 year contract. Did we do any due diligence, or did we just stick a contract under his nose? Surely the fact that GC17 basically threw him at us should have been a massive red flag.

I would love nothing more than to see him fit and well and playing good football next year, but I can't see it happening. A settlement prior to the draft would be a good result for all parties.

Ridiculous isn’t it. 

3 years to someone with Concussion history 

Last Summer was very loose. We paid for it Big Time

Anything from GC is a red flag!  May another and he was a captain.

I think the decision will be made prior to the mid year draft. Wonder if it will be the same for AVB and J Smith.

No way can a club carry three very long term injuries. The flip side is that it denies three VFL players a chance at the big time.

This is one of those 'high risk, high reward' trades that some people complain we never do.

 

If it comes off, we've gained a gun player as the steak knives in the May trade.

If it doesn't, people criticise the risky trade and bemoan us not taking a safer route.

I reckon he plays his best footy across half back. The small times that he played wing this year he just looked completely lost. With Hibbered cooked, I would like to see him go back to half back and utilise his kicking skills.

dazzle - presumably you watched him in previous seasons, which I didn't.

As a half back is he accountable, as well as being a good kick?

when he debuted for gc17 he looked like an absolute gun in the making

unfortunately concussions have absolutely robbed him of not just his development but seemingly his drive

it's extremely disappointing that he doesn't seem to be recovering as we expected him to do, and there's little doubt his career is in trouble; here's hoping he's able to recover

Plays the quarter back role perfectly fine.. ability to defend first but also peel off to provide run and his kicking skill to am advantage.

Hope that was essentially one year off allows him, as it did with Nev, to make a full recovery and return to his best.

Has anyone with an ear close to the ground heard anything at all about Kade's progress / prognosis / plans?

This is the reason i clicked onto this thread, im hoping someone who ACTUALLY KNOWS something can give us an insight....

how severe are the symptoms? Do we have any time frame? was he doing any contact work towards the end of the year or was he just working on fitness or nothing at all? is that bad that he has been written off? 

Look at paddy mccartins case, this is no joke so people questioning his drive and commitment with out knowing are idiotic.

As for calling him stake knives and a waste.... do you remember when he actually nominated this club? For me it was finally a time where we where beginning to become some what of a destination club, also people that know more about him know he is a very talented player so 300k a year really isnt surprising....

I don't think anyone is questioning his talent, more his ability to get on the park. It's fairly common knowledge Gold Coast wanted him off the list and that we were happy to take him on, possibly given how Brayshaw came out the other side of his concussion issues. 

There was an article on the MFC site recently saying he intended doing a full preseason, so he may be back to full fitness. Whether or not he plays again is another thing, but I'm pretty sure everyone wishes him well and to be back on the park.

GC didn't offer him a contract, I wouldn't say GC rejects nominating us makes us a destination club.

There are 3 ways you can pay overs for an existing afl player

1) give away too many or to valuable draft picks

2) pay the player too highly and jeopardise your salary cap

3) offer a longer contract to the player

I think it is clever list management to get players in without breaching 1 & 2 and just give them an extra year on their contract. You basically give away nothing and potentially bring in a talent. If it doesn’t work out so be it but there is the real chance of bringing in talent for nothing.

KK could still well work out. Might even be in his 3rd year...

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
