    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.

Issues with separation from family? Unpopular with other players? Injury cloud ? Issues with the coach? Humungous salary.

While I don't know the truth of any of this ( and it's possible there is more bubbling away) , I just get the feeling that "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark".

Pass.

Interesting isn't it - I see Collingwood as the 'Denmark' in this.

As in, who is driving the narrative around the first 4 items you listed? It's not Treloar. 

It seems bitter, and clearly relationships will never be repaired.

from above - seems opposite of what edmund said

Collingwood continues to push hard to jettison Treloar after an official meeting last week and several phone conversations between the midfielder and coach Buckley.

The Herald Sun believes several senior teammates are upset that Treloar has been used as a scapegoat for the club’s salary cap issues.

Treloar’s conversations with Buckley have been particularly robust at stages.

It seems Covid and isolation issues have tipped some clubs and players over the edge. We have already benefited with Brown and one club will with Treloar.  Other moves happening I'm sure can be linked also. Clubs that come out in front at the end of trade may well be the ones that that are best managed.  Players from all clubs talked with each other more than ever this year in the hub environment so the perceived pecking order of 'destination' clubs may be changing.  It's a new world.

Senior players want him out???? This if true really is damning ...... from Collingwoods perspective. I know Footy and Cricket clubs and you play with some guys that.. Well you think, he's a good player but I don't particularly like or take to him, However you soldier on for the benefit of the team. I cannot believe players want him out !!!A few points here

1 This is very murky and messy in view of Collingwood letting this get out if true

2 I believe he is In fact popular amongst team mates which makes this all the more intriguing why spruik the story?

3 Adam Treloar must be really mystified by this latest assertion!

4 Small aside. He was an absolute Star in Junior Footy and my son was given the task of tagging him in an u15 game and did well! He did say to me that he was a great bloke and shook his hand and acknowledged my sons performance!

Ah!!

Something not right here

Good luck Adam Treloar!

as someone that had brayshaw as his fave player, i would be open to moving on angus for treloar, should angus be open to it. players like angus are a dime a dozen. treloar has speed and kicks goals. they've appeared rare the past few years..

Keep an eye on this one. Heard today he's done with Collingwood and is looking for a new home. We are one of the few teams that can afford him. (+ pies are happy to pay a % of his future wage)

We gotta get him.  No flag since 1964.   The time to strike is now.

Looking at it with logic i'm not sure how we fit him in the midfield group without moving one of Harmes or Brayshaw out. A winger like Phillips makes sense because we only have 1 maybe 2 if you count Baker.

Would add a point of difference to our midfield, but just can't see how we can afford him in terms of salary and by trade. Pies wanted pick 5 from Suns. Can't see us satisfying them with what we've got, particularly with them looking to ship out their future first next year for the next daicos.

TMac straight swap! And they pay 200k for the remainder of his contract. 

Never mind any picks! Adam chooses where he goes and Pies take what is offered to them. This is a salary dump by them and they can’t have it both ways! Unless there paying 500k each year for the remainder of his contract...

The club that convinces him wins out BIG! There is No Way the Pies want to keep him after this shommozzzle and will be desperate... Dees need to WIN him over! MCG should be a big draw card!

Listening to Edmund right now

He is 100% backing his story 

Remember Sam was reporting the Adelaide camp fallout and got smashed for that one at the time.

He was on the money.

Comes across as a smart a.... at times but won't push a story unless he has his facts backed up.

He's either on the money or people are lying to him.

I’d be keen on Treloar but not sure we would offer him 5 years (as per his current contract). 

Our midfield is already full and we don’t have enough minutes to give to everyone now. Couldn’t see Treloar coming unless we traded out a mid. Brayshaw would be the one I guess. Not sure how I feel about that but maybe we need to do something ballsy to make things happen.  Our midfield would be heaps better balanced with this change.

600k and a second rounder Tom Browne is saying. I have no info on if that is true just that he is out of collingwood.

Sorry, mixed up my Sam's...McLure was the Crows story, this is Edmund.

Not as big a smart a.... still checks his facts so not making it up.

It's real or someone is not telling him the truth.

Reckon a club is seriously a chance to get him with a 3rd rounder or something here.

We need to look after our own players first with Oliver, Gawn, Salem, Jackson and Weideman coming out of contract next year. I imagine they'll all be wanting pay rises as they are all entering their prime. Gawn and Oliver could command upwards of $850k a season so we would need to do some very shrewd negotiating with Collingwood.

IF they can somehow make it happen without really stuffing up our salary cap, in exactly the same way as the pies did,  it could be a premiership defining move. Would lift our potency enormously. Bringing in brown and Treleor would get the memberships rolling in too. Im sure there’s quite a few clubs sitting around tables deep into the night trying to figure out how to get it done. We can only hope.

Fair enough, It just doesn’t look good to me (I think most are biased against today’s footy journos) when Buckley comes out denying it but happy to retract  if it is proven.

Just heard a snippet from Jon Ralph on fox sports news.

He said “of the 234 players in the AFL who had over 100 kicks this year Treloar had the 3rd worst kick rating. The stat takes into account degree of difficulty. He also kicked just the one goal. Collingwood believe he just does not hurt opposition enough”

This is why Collingwood want rid. For the money he commands that’s a horrible stat.

We need to bring in midfielders that elevate our kicking efficiency not drag it down further. It’s a big NO from me.

    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
