    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 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.

Our own Lachie Hunter thread has understandably gone cold.  Heard he might be seriously considering the warmer climate with a 2020 Preliminary finalist.  He is a gun player, no doubt, and will be only 26 yo when the 2021 season starts.

If it's the Suns, then it makes sense why they are not interested in the expensive Treloar.

This is absolutely rumour only but my Geelong contact reckons they have been in constant dialogue with Alex Rance for several months. Shaun Grigg is the conduit. Rance is currently living in Portarlington and keen to have another crack in the AFL.

Could be complete BS as the text I saw claims interest in Isaac Smith is only a smokescreen...

I have heard whispers of a possible trade.

Nothing confirmed ( a long way from it) and information is very thin. I did hear it from two different people.

TMac/VdB packaged with a 2nd round (this year or next) for their first round 2020.

No idea where this originated.

For who's first? GWS or Essendon?

With which club?

That would value both players as only a few spots upgrade in the draft. Obviously if true, a player hoped for in the draft and salary dumping.

Or the Cameron one

Would be a shame to lose AVB but I would take that deal and run

I wonder how much of the salary we’d be taking into next year for the package

Need 10 or lower to get McCrae  if that's the target.

Cameron might get matched, in which case Cats may meed to give up 13, 15 and maybe 20. Or a 3 way deal, eg cats get Jezza, GCS get 13, 15 and 20 (which will get pushed out further with academy bid matching), GWS get 5

Daniher at pick 7 is a joke. Cameron is worth 5, easy.

i imagine AVB is on decent coin coz sydney offered him the same length deal at the time iirc?

with jones going on, already a stacked midfield and sparrow and jordon pushing through i have no issues with him leaving and we all know where we stand with tmac, but giants dont seem too keen? favouring jesse

5 and change I would have thought. Cats got two 1st rounders, p24 & p37 for Kelly, p57 & a ‘20 third round pick in return. Cameron is getting close to a mill a year with a trigger for 6th year. The length of deal probably means they could match as there’s theoretically room to load in back end of deal.

A fun read!

I like this time of year when the rumours run thick and fast.  Whilst I’m sure many/most won’t pan out, none of them seem outside of the realms of possibility.

Sounfs like Sydney are very keen on getting a tall forward in.

Is that because buddy is fading fast?

Would be surprised if he went across the other side of the country, being a local boy, unless there are no other offers.

Wow, would be a decent pick up for the dogs.

Any other info you're heading @demons11. Any word on Brodie Smith? or other tid bits you got?

I am assuming our moves will be based on if Tmac stays or goes?

If you’re asking questions and want serious answers, might I suggest that you don’t ask on a strictly rumour thread.

but I am not asking for fait accompli information, I am interested if there is anything @Demons11 has heard around the traps

    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
