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.

We'll be spending 125% of the cap if we try and pull that one off.

I’ll freely admit to not knowing in detail how TPP and caps etc work but if GWS don’t have to spend on Cameron then they pay Tmacs contract should he end up there. 
If we don’t have to pay Tmacs contract, we have enough cap to throw at Polec and Brown?

Totally agree Steve - I was more taking the pizz with that post as Brown will be on decent coin and we know Polec is on a large contract.

I reckon we'll have to get all of Tom's wages off our books and get North to pay some of Polec's contract if we're any chance.

If we can get picks for Phillips, I reckon he's the cheaper (with less baggage) version to compliment Smith.

I'd of course take all three if the cap was not a reality, but it is and we need to find a small forward or two at other clubs as well.

I assume we're putting a healthy contract extension in front of Oliver too and even Petracca. There's only so much money to go around.

Yes please to all three.

I have never been huge on Polec but he could get his [censored] together and be a gun on the wing for us.

GWS doing us a huge favour by taking T mac.

They will have a massive hole in their TPP now with so many wanting out and need to pay someone - draftee's unlikely to resolve the issue for them, - I think they are well served for KPF even with Cameron leaving, but they may want some insurance there and down back with Corr going as well.

Why do people think we're going to take 2 wingman? If there are 3 that are available/getable we'd only be going after one wouldn't we. Realistically and not in a Dees fans fever dream of having an abundance of the once rare wingman.

I bet that's exactly what each of the three [censored] clubs he's been at have thought.

He needs to stay very clear of MFC, absolute plague of a player.

Hannan and Oscar were both on reasonable coin i believe so both leaving would take a bit of pressure off things, Tmac is the big one, he's on A grader $$ i reckon if the Giants were willing to take on his salary we'd ask for very little in a trade.

Getting two wingman allows us to play one off half back and one on the opposite wing to Langdon. The reason I like the idea of a third new wingman is improving our ball movement playing one forward of centre on a half forward flank. We'd also have genuine depth for the wing position all of a sudden.

As for ages, Smith won't be around for long, so having Phillips and Polec to compliment Langdon, would give us 5+ years of service on our wings.

Would we be stretching the friendship if we got them to take Oscar as well? I mean it would keep the brothers together for starters.

Moving TMac on without having to pay any of his wages next year would be an unbelievable outcome. Asking for something in return would be really pushing our luck.

With Smith to Geelong this thread needs to be on page 1.

Brown + Polec for 2021 1st?

While I'm all for getting Brown and Polec in the one transaction, no way would I give up a future 1st rounder for them!

McDonald to Essendon or Collingwood for a 3rd rounder and use that pick with Pick 23 to North for Brown and Polec is a bit more like it.

Pick 18 for Brown and Polec?  I could be OK with that  ?

seriously though, we don't need Polec's wages and I don't rate him.  I'd prefer we do the second rounder for Brown as a stand alone deal.

What happens to Polec's contract?

North will have salary cap to burn. They don't need to get Polec's salary off their books, they'd rather pay some of it and get early picks.

Norf likely to have to pay for some of his salary if he moves ...

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. 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

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
