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.

If true that Treloer wants to spend several day every week up in Q to be with his missus then I question his commitment. Not what we need ATM. 

I think this story came from the Collingwood spin machine.

So far they are losing the battle...even with their own supporters.

If the filth took on all of McDonald's contract, then I'd be happy for us to take on all of Treloar's contract for the first two years (length of Tom's contract). But for years 3-5 Collingwood should be forced to pay the money that's owed and we just cover what his base contract was supposed to be.

This is still high risk for us.  We will be paying out about $200-$300k more for the first two years.  And we will be paying Treloar about $700k p.a for years 3-5 when he will be in his early 30's and past his best.

Treloar is no wingman. He’s a dead set rover. Was a gun three years ago but I dunno if he is now. Seems to have lost a little speed

If he has lost some pace then his quality as a player has dropped by 20%, sometimes you can forgive a player with poor disposals, if he can get the ball moving fast into the forward line, nothing worse then a slow mid who can't kick.

If the details of his back ended contract are correct then I hope everyone leaves Collingwood to their own mess.

The idea of them paying 200k of the contract is severely unders...they would need to stump up a hell of a lot more than that if the figure is running up to $1mill a year.

It's reportedly $900K for the next 5 years.

If Collingwood paid $300K for the next 5 years Treloar costs you $600K.  And he makes you better.

Is that the level of your analysis ?

Sorry Hannibal. I was being a smart [censored]. I should have used a smiley emoji or similar

But seriously his kicking is average. If we're to invest precious cap it needs to be elite imv. He may spread well but if he doesn't use it well then i don;t think it makes much difference. Even if he's average and we somehow agree reasonable contract terms (big if) we shouldn't take him on. Find someone elite who can make a real difference if we're going to go through all the hassle.

Yep, Treloar butchers every kick forward and his pace and spread from a stoppage is not something the MFC needs.

 

 

Hi @Hannibal Inc., I'm neither here nor there with Adam Treloar, however you've gone with the highlights package and inherent within that is 0 errors to be viewed.

Far more meaningful would be the Statspro App of his games via the AFL website.

Man, having watched just a handful of his games this morning, eyeballing him, he goes barely better at 50% retaining the ball on his delivery. If I knew how to convert what was on my screen into a video that was able to be viewed, I'd forward it on to this thread.

Ultimately, though the question for all us backseat FD department decision makers is... does his limitations outweigh what he brings?

Oh..and are his hamstring shot?

Oh and what is his character like? ?

You could make a highlight package of ANB and he won't miss a target, he will hit someone on the chest at lest once a game.

Whatever works to fit your narrative m8.

Collingwood have wanted him out for two seasons now. Maybe think about why rather than presenting a highlights package and some questionable D/E stats to try and prove your point.

Obviously, which is why he finished top 3 in their B&F three times in 4 years.

Idiots get ignored.

His hammy are shot, there is obviously something missing in his game since his serious hammy issues, the pies know something that people on the outside don't know about, you don't get rid of a gun for any reason, Dangerfield has been on 900000 since he got to Geelong.

For this deal to be worthwhile there needs to be some non-negotiables for mine

Phillips (or another specialist wingman) is the preference. He fills a greater need so wouldn’t prioritise Treloar over Tom.

$450-$550k salary. Term 3-4 years

Must not compromise our TPP. We have to be able to re-sign Clarry et all.

I’m not against trading out Brayshaw if needs be for a game changer but not to accommodate this deal.

Thorough medical. Those hammy’s are a concern.

His family situation doesn’t impact his football.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that last year was an aberration and his output will return to pre-covid levels.

Way way too much hassle imv.

Collingwood does not give away good players, there is more to this than  we are aware of. If he is such a great player they why is Collingwood is still having trouble selling him to teams that a desperate for a player like Treloar. For some reason this reminds me of Melbourne's recruitment of Kelvin Templeton, if i had a vote it would be no thanks.

I agree the hamstrings are an issue.  But if you can just answer one question.  If his kicking is as bad as suggested how would he have been rewarded with 3 top 3 B&F finishes in the 4 years prior to this season ? 

Also, have you ever laid eyes on him and watched him play ?

If we want him we'll need to clear midfield cap space - that means Brayshaw or maybe Harmes traded.

You'd have to entertain it for Gus. Harmes can play forward as well as mid. Gus can only play mid and at a pinch half back.

The talk of Treloar's kicking and his two way running is ridiculous.

We add him to our midfield and it's a Rolls Royce. I reckon we massively overthink things in these parts at times. Oliver, Petracca and at a stretch Viney are better players, otherwise Treloar walks in to our best 22.

If the price is right, 2021 is the year. We need to be aggressive this off season.

Typically I only to see Melbourne games but this year, with the boredom of lockdown, I’ve watched pretty much every game in the league. As such, my perception is heavily biased towards this year.

The contract is too big. The Filth have “put off” paying the bulk of it 2-3 times and now they are confronted with a massive payout. 
let them squirm for as long as possible 

They drew up the contract

I'm for that. "We'll pay you later, we'll pay you later, we'll now ship you out" they got themself into this mess.

What do you think is the right price AF?

Something that still enables us to sign up the Oliver's and Petracca's to new deals when they come around.

Are his hammies ok? The club would do DD and we have Burgo to build on his strength

Is the contract too much? Only the club will know that and they'll be aware of next year's OOC players. Tmac staying/going may affect this

Does he pass the No DH rule? Does that even exist anymore? The club will do its DD

Is he talented enough? Hell yeah!

Does he meet a need and improve our list? Again, hell yeah!

Does he want to come to us? Who knows except him and maybe MFC

Assuming the report on his hammies is ok, my view is LET'S GET HIM!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    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.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    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

    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.
