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.

Quite frankly, I’m happy for him to sell it.

We simply cannot have another season like this year’s.

Despite finishing 17th, we are (ironically) in the premiership window right now, and we have to go for it - full bore.

Great move - Josh Mahoney is a gun at trading picks IMO.

I love it.

 

He’s a Gun at throwing out valuable second rounders for nothing.

Just out of interest, what was the last positive thing you think Melbourne did?

We hung onto pick 3!! Before that many "Armagedon" moments were the order of the day IMV

Trade period isn’t over yet - I would be surprised if we had pick 3 come time of selection 

Really ? Care to suggest a Scenario likely??

Pick 3 to the Giants for Jeremy Finlayson and pick 6 

Pick 8 to the Hawks for Issac Smith and pick 11 

pick 6 we draft Lachie Ash and get some genuine speed 

pick 11 we draft Cody Weightman, small forward with genuine skills and x-factor

overall a terrific trade period.

If GWS don’t come to the table, they effectively “lose” their high 1st round pick on Green (which they could use later picks on). Do a deal with us then they use pick 3 on the player they want and later picks on Green, effectively 2 top 5 picks for pick 3, later picks and whatever they pay us.

Lachie Ash is Jayden Hunt 2.0. Runs away and boots it to no one . Would be a shocking choice at 6.

Rubbish. he's a good kick, shown great leadership, reads the play well and is consistent in his position. you should probably know what you're talking about before you plot players because you clearly have not seen him play.

Have you seen his highlight reel? Almost all his kicks are OOTF/to an opposition player or smothered. Just ran and booted it Into no mans land like Jayden Hunt does.

Not a player I would want to spend a top 10 on.

It's because he tries to kick when running at full speed under pressure. a very easy thing to address and fix up. if that's the worst problem he has he's in a very good position.

Nice PO.  A slight variation?...

?? Pick 3 - same deal ??

?? Pick 8 - to Hawks for Smith, 11 & 42

?? 42 to Adelaide for Jenkins & peanuts ($300k to ensure the Cats have to at least pay a tad more if they want him...yeh what's up pussycat!).

?? Pick 6 - Stephens (speed, silk & finish!)

?? Pick 11 - Weightman (small forward with rising star potential).

?? 3rd draft pick (Rookie as delisted FA?) - Harley Bennell

No complaints for me. 

greatly increase our speed and class on the outside

address small forward need 

re-enforce key targets forward 

build on young core

add on field experience and leadership

all major areas of list concern addressed is a success in anyones books. 

don't mind the idea of offering up the future second to the Crows for a last minute hail mary at Alex Keith potentially.

At the end of the day, we are giving away pick 3, the third best young talent in the country.

That's a lot for mine, we better be asking for plenty back in return.

If the rumour of us knocking back the GWS offer of Pick 6 and a future first is true, then I'd say that's a fair indication of us playing hard ball for the pick.

Need to agree to disagree. Hunt has spent years and still does it.

i am in the Stephens camp for pick 6. Dead-set gun. His highlight reel is up there with Oliver’s.

Fortunately the guys who make these decisions don't do so based on highlight reels.

Stephens is a good player though

i'd also be happy with Flanders

Not sure if this has been floated, but what if GWS offered 6 + 40 (Tomlinson compensation) + 2020 1st for Selection 3?

I think it should be a player like most here, but if there is no possibility of getting a player what would it take? 

I wouldn't do that. We probably don't even need pick 40 this year. GWS 2020 first selection is diluted so it won't help us much either. The value needs to be closer to what GWS will receive out of the deal from a net perspective. In effect if we help them out GWS are going to draft 2 top 5 rated players from this draft, they better be willing to offer up something better than that IMV.

I'm with Bonkers. That deal is pants and would rather go to the draft.

Unless we can realise a net gain equal to if not better than what GWS stand to reap they can G.A.G.F......

    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
