    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.

Absolutely, this will be quite a bargaining tool and I'd expect a fair few to be using it. 

Yes and the more players a club has OOC (like us) the harder it will be to accommodate their expectations and the more vulnerable we are to losing some we would otherwise keep.

Petty, Jordan and Sparrow all South Australians, I'm sure Adelaide we be on the hunt for any SA player at other clubs

Sorry, got him mixed up with Nietschke, I knew we took 2 kids from SA in that draft and Chandler as a rookie.

I agree Crows will be after Sparrow and Petty. 

They can talk about Neal-Bullen. 

But we have a lot of inside mids so unfortunately Sparrow could be an option . 

Sparrow and Neal-Bullen for Crows 2nd round pick and 3rd round pick  (1st selection in 2nd round and 3rd round could be interesting)

Adelaide will laugh that offer off, I reckon they would have no interest in ANB.  Sparrow was only  pick 27 2 years ago and hasn't really show much.  We might be able to bundle up Petty and Sparrow our 4th round pick for Crows second round and 4th round pick.  The Crows will get Tyson Edwards son who by all accounts is a top 20 pick, so they will be looking at trading their second round picks out and get enough points in later picks to cover.

Dramatically increases the chances that he will linger longer.

Success this year will be a big factor in whether a few are enticed away. Lets say Sparrow Jordan  Petty miss being part of funals sucess this year, injuries, they will likely be hellbent on staying for future success. When you say SA we are really just talking the Crows. Dont see players bursting down the door to go there for now.

Agree. Crows are rabble and hardly an attractive option. Also go home factor is reduced because likely it could be another year 2021 on the road and in Hub type scenario once again.

Anyone got any interest in Sam Petrevski-Seton from Carlton?

Forward-mid that could potentially add some outside run and carry to our mix. In contract for 2021 but he’s got some tricks

he's a running defender...

I'd take a look mate. Good suggestion. He did play forward-mid early on. He's got a bit of that zip and creativity that we lack around the ball and inside 50 (outside of Pickett).

Anyone have any whispers on players we are chasing?

If we aren't after guys like Atkins, Williams and Papley to add leg spped and skill I'd be disappointed.

I think there will be too much interest in those three for us to have a chance - no picks, not enough cash, so best look elsewhere

I was a big wrap for him as a junior.

Certainly worth a look.

There is no way Carlton would let him go

 

Depends...they have needs and he's only fringe for them and being played out of position.

My Take on our Trade/Draft Period 

 

With North having our 1st rounder this year obviously don't have as many bargaining chips to trade for what we need. 

But we need to make changes to the list to keep improving (not to mention the coaching but that is another discussion). 

I think we still need some young talent on the list so would be wanting to use at least a second rounder and 3rd round pick in this draft. 

Unless it was for an unbelievable deal I would not give our 1st rounder for 2021, as it is meant to be a very very good draft and who knows where we finish next year ! 

I think for the right deal Brayshaw should be considered as trade bait he still holds a lot of value, We have the upper hand with him being contracted ( apparently Fremantle are keen) 

If so ask for their 1st Round , Adam Cerra, Darcy Tucker or even Sam Sturt who we were keen on in the draft a couple of years ago 

 

other players we should consider trading that hold some value 

 

Brayden Preuss ( however we still need to find some back up mature ruck from else where if he goes ) 

Tom Macdonald - Not worth much at the moment - but if a decent deal came along we would have to look at it 

 

Realistic players to Target given our needs. 

 

Adel - Rory Atkins 

Bris - Alex Witherden , Cedric Cox 

Carl - ? 

Coll - Tom Phillips, Tom Langdon  

Ess - Adam Saad 

Frem - Darcy Tucker, Adam Cerra, Sam Sturt,  

GWS  - Adam Kennedy, Xavier O'Halloran ,Jeremy  Finlayson,  Harry Perryman, Zac Williams , Zac Langdon 

Geel - Nakia Cockatoo, Quinton Narkle, 

GC - Alex Sexton 

Haw - Jack Gunston, Issac Smith 

Nth - Jarred Polec 

Port - Kane Farrel,  Karl Amon 

Rich -  Patrick Naish,  Oleg Markov 

Stk - Jack Lonie, Jack Sinclair  

Syd - Matthew Ling, Oliver Florent, Ben Ronke 

WCE - Andrew Gaff, Jackson Nelson, Tom Cole 

WB -  Bailey Dale,  Toby Mclean, Lewis Young, 

 

Top 3 realistic Targets for mine 

 

1. Adam Saad 

2. Alex Witherden  

3. Toby Mclean

I'm pretty sure Melbourne is happy with the list at the moment.  We have depth across the board with the possible exception of the ruck.  Could probably do with drafting another project ruck to bring on for five years and there are a few people who will be cut loose, but overall we're looking solid. 

There is the problem right there we are no where near a premiership and the recruiters are happy with themselves. We need people who set standards not lower them.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
