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.

spargo will be 23? based on being 21 at EOC this year in previous spreadies?

hunt would fit an essendon?

keen on bedford, jordon, lockhart, mbrown, bradtke to get a year each and nietschke to get one as a rookie.

which would see off hunt, omac, chandler + hannan, preuss, tmac

I take the age at the EOC ie Oct.  Too hard to track birth dates.

Hunt to Ess. Nooo!  I'm hanging out to hear he has a new contract.

Was highly rated internally throughout the year. I haven't heard anything since his injury?

Not Yet

Bringing in some draftees, possibly upgrading Lockhart (if we offer him a third season on the rookie list he can walk out as a UFA) and of course Brown (and maybe another, who knows), means we must be odds on to let TMac go in addition to Preuss (with J Wagner the only senior list player to be delisted so far, we could lose all of Hannan, OMac, Jordon and Bedford and possibly still not have enough room).

And that's before we lose senior list spots due to COVID-related shrinkage.

Well done mate. Nev may also go too. Be interesting to see. It might allow us to do the Phillips deal.

Since you asked so nicely..(btw I'm a female ?)

image.png.882bc4cb8fe20638913e141f8da07f42.png

Includes latest pick updates and Hannan and Preuss trades.

We have 35 Senior players and 3 'A' rookies with 3 senior players and 4 rookies still OOC.

We have at least 3 vacant senior spots and 1 vacant rookie spots (final number depends on list size).

Welcome Ben Brown!

Welcome 2 first round draft picks!

@DavidNeitz9I've checked a few websites and they say Bradtke is OOC this year so I'll stick with that for now as one way or another it will be confirmed in the next month.

Welcome Ben Brown!

Welcome 2 first round draft picks!

Adding another player over 100 games is handy to our list profile.

68+ games: Oscar McDonald (?), ANB, Gawn, Jetta (?), Jones, Kolodjashnij (?), Hibberd, Oliver, Salem, Brayshaw, Lever, Hunt, Tom McDonald, Melksham, Petracca, May, Tomlinson, Langdon, Harmes, Brown and Viney. That's 21 players in the zone now.

Along with this core that is old enough now to challenge, we also have less experienced talent that can hold their own week to week: Lockhart, Jackson, Vandenberg, Weideman, Fritsch, Petty, Spargo, Sparrow, Pickett and Rivers. That's another 10 players we can rely on IMO.

31 players that are ready to take the next step with yet another pre season under an elite fitness boss. Plus, we'll either get two young first rounders or one.

Isaac Smith would have been brilliant and I think the club agreed with that and were surprised when he had a change of heart. Had we landed him, I would have been very happy with our haul.

Still, I think we're in the hunt next year with some better coaching and more consistency from more of our players.

Just on contracts, now that we haven't broken the bank with a Treloar or a Phillips, I'd hope we can offer sizeable contract extensions to Oliver and Petracca during this coming off season.

So the list has to be 37-44.

We've currently got 39. If OMac, Bedford and Jordon all stay, we can take a maximum of five more players in the draft, rookie draft, DFA period and SSP period.

I wonder whether we'll go under 44 to save money in the salary cap to work on re-signing Oliver, Jackson and Petracca.

we should be able to resign them pretty comfortably knowing we have some players who have earnt decent coin in recent years OOC next year in jones (former captain), jetta (AA40 man), ANB (best 22), vanders (swans interest), KK. thats a pretty experienced list of probable exits that should make it pretty easy especially as we would have foreshadowed petracca and olivers rise in stature. still hope omac goes to free up another spot, would rather have 17 on the field than the porterhouse unfortunately

I'm going to assume Nietschke hasn't officially been contracted and say that at this stage we've got 32 on the list signed up and 0 cat A rookies. The aim is to get to 38 and 4, plus until I know better Bradtke as a B.

10 total list spots. 6 main, 4 rookies. I'd say good bye to Mitch Brown and Oscar.

Then we've got 5 more out of contract: Bedford, Jordon, Chandler (r), Nietschke, Lockhart (r).

We can keep all 5 and have 5 draft picks. As it stands it would be 3 main list and 2 rookies. But we can move a main list player (Nietschke) down to the rookie list and go 4-1.

Look I agree totally with above. I would also try T Mc at CHB ( his old role where he played excellently ) Lever one flank and Hibberd the other and move Salem to the wing with Langdon on the other wing. Problem solved.

What about KK?

Will they retire him and free up a spot?

I think they will hold off until the 2021 Mid-Season Drafts (to be held monthly in 2021) and negotiate a retirement with KK if they need the list spot to draft someone.  Because there has been little exposed form for this year's draftees, this could easily happen.

The same might happen with Jones or Nev if the club needs other list spots mid year.

    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

    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.

    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

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining.

They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim
