I know Burgess has a PhD but he’s not a ‘Doctor Doctor’, I think some posters are getting confused.

No but Max might be able to, as he is a good palmer of the ball.

We have absolutely nothing to lose and so much to gain by picking him up. 

Imagine if Darren Burgess our fitness guru gets him right.. Not only will he be EXACTLY what we need. But we could be a team that talented players with niggling injuries turn to as an opportunity to get themselves right. At the moment, blokes like Jager Omeara, Scully, Paton are turning to Hawks for that reason. 

Doesn't work out? Oh well, they are the expectations from the whole football world anyway. 

You have a lot to lose when you bring in a player who causes off field issues and brings other players around him down.

Dusty was always a better player then both scully and trengove, all Scilly has is his running power Trengove was alway a 1, dimensional player, the only reason he went at 3 is because of his family background

Mr Hindsight is that you.

Scully was the number 1 pick by a mile in his draft year and every team would have taken him at no.1.

As for Dusty even Richmond put him on the trade table.

That's not true Richmond never put Dusty on the trade table, Dusty's manager shopped Dusty around, he even invited himself to have a look around at GWS training Base, then  Caroline Wilson wrote a couple of bad articles about Dusty and all of a sudden nobody wanted him.

I said it earlier in this thread but I'll say it again. The supplemental list period allows clubs to have guys train with them before officially being listed. That's the move for Bennell. If his body holds up all summer and he's ready to play by March that's when you give him a contract. 

Spot on, or even make him go back to VFL/SANFL/WAFL level and earn it for 6 months then come through in the mid-season draft.

Sorry to intrude, interesting to hear Tim Watson this morning say the CEOs have reportedly voted in the last couple of days for the mid-season draft to be scrapped. No reasons given as yet, possibly something to do with TPP.

Might as well face it you’re addicted to palm!


I was feed information 3 weeks ago that Melbourne officials had been in touch with Bennell and his management...

Calf injury will be a problem of the past as they found something that’s been missed previously...

Now all this is starting to come to light!.. I can confirm we are the club in question!..

 From everything I’m heard with the calf problem solved... it’s a risk worth taking..

I have a source within the afl media circles... I’ve seen certain messages...

AFL media circles! It must be true, they never lie, speculate or embellish. I thought you had real info.

I wonder how many people who support us getting bennell supported us getting rid of Watts


On the surface I don't like this unless we give up peanuts for him and I don't mean a late draft pick I mean actual peanuts.

Trading in injury prone players is our specialty so he'll fit right at home for a year before he is delisted or retires.

Of course I'll be tickled pink if I'm wrong but I'm not particularly ticklish.

Ive known this source for 15 years... I was told to keep it on the down low until information  surfaced...

Time will prove this information correct...

Demonland is probably the only place anyone actually cares really...

cant do it on Facebook, people know me and know who my source is... and that would bad for all involved..

the one part I don’t like is how his manager has come out and said this... obviously they want more clubs than just Melbourne to be interested..

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
