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.

Allir allir off to the Dogs I’m hearing 

If that’s true, then they need a key back badly. Actually they needed another this year. Tom and Oscar could be useful to them and Tom also at the Bombers as Hurley might leave and is nearly done. The Giants also need A key back and even the Crows with Hartigan leaving. In summary their should be a few clubs interested in Tom.

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

It’s fairly good mail @Unleash Hell.  Haven’t heard heard about Brodie Smith.  Brisbane have said that anyone outside of their finals 22 is up for grabs. 
Phillips from the Pies is on a good pay packet, so this one will be interesting.  T Mac not getting a lot of love due to his wage which I think is fairly common knowledge.

Our friend Ricky Nixon has become prolific with his prognostications. He’s issued another list and there’s a lot to digest -

• Jaidyn Stephenson.  With news coming in the last few days that he would be gettable at the trade table, North Melbourne and Hawthorn have both registered interest. Watch this space after his management was at North Melbourne’s club yesterday

• Bulldogs set to make nice little run home for Adam Treloar they shown huge interest to him the last 48hrs as well as well as Mason Cox 

• Max Lynch the young ruckman from Collingwood linked to Richmond and Sydney.

• Rival Victorian clubs have been linked to Sam Menegola from Geelong they are Melbourne Hawthorn North Melbourne

• Nick Hind from St Kilda is having meeting with Essendon tonight at Tullamarine.

• Ben Brown set to nominate Melbourne talks he’s toured the club twice he’s very happy at Melbourne talk is between three-four years will get that deal done.

• Adelaide are confident GWS will trade Jackson Hately to the club rather than sending him to the pre-season draft.

• North Melbourne are having meeting with the Candidates for top coaches job this week talks they hope to announce new coach by within two weeks.

• Josh Dunkley looking like he will nominate a trade to Essendon talk is $700-750K year over 5 years deal.

• Seb Ross – Was reportedly spotted touring Essendon’s facilities despite having a year to run on his contract talks going around St Kilda looks set to offload him to make room in the cap for Crouch. That’s huge for Essendon if Seb Ross does decide to nominate them.
    
• Connor Blakely despite Fremantle putting him up on the trade table looks like he will stay at Fremantle. 

• Kyle Hartigan from Adelaide talks he will sign with Hawthorn this after he nominated trade to Hawthorn talks three year deal for him.

• Daniel Talia from Adelaide talks going around Essendon has put a three year deal on the table to him to get him back to Victoria talks Adelaide saying he will not be put up the trade table despite having year to run on his contract.

• Matthew Scharenberg from Collingwood linked to Adelaide. 

• Orazio Fantasia – Has officially requested a trade to Port Adelaide that deal will get done this week talk four years been put on the table to him. 

• Jayden Laverde talks he will stay at Essendon with clubs not showing interest in him.

• Zach Merrett despite saying he wants to see out next year at Essendon huge talk going around Carlton and Collingwood showing huge interest in him. 

• James Stewart looks set to sign two year deal stay at Essendon.

• Jordan Clark from Geelong has been linked to a move back home to WA talks Fremantle showing huge interest in him.

• Will Brodie from Gold Coast still strongly on Essendon’s radar talks Essendon will make late play for him.

• Wil Powell Is being chased by North Melbourne, in addition to other Victorian clubs – but there’s no word on whether Gold Coast are willing to entertain a move. Contracted until 2021.

• Tim Taranto after being strongly linked by St Kilda talks he will stay GWS.

• Cyril Rioli – Rumours continue to abound that the mercurial small forward can be coaxed out of retirement to Gold Coast after he was spotted catching up with GCS Coach just recently although I’m lead to believe it’s to do with and assistant coaching role not playing so calm down just calm down everyone 

• Mitch Hannan – Has requested a trade to the Western Bulldogs from Melbourne that deal will get done in the next couple days.

• Tom McDonald officially heating up on him in talks after he had meeting with Essendon officials talks North Melbourne officials was spotted having a meeting with him yesterday watch this space around him on who he chooses.

• Shaun Higgins looks almost certain to join Geelong talks that deal will be done mid week.

• Paddy McCartin – The injury-ravaged former no.1 draft pick is looking likely to return to the AFL in 2021. Family connections mean Sydney are considered the front runners, although Geelong through family connections as well talk Sydney said if we pick you up you do a medical for us.

• Tom Hickey talks he will nominate Sydney from West Coast.

I know Ricky is a [censored] of the highest order but god i hope we are throwing the kitchen sink at Menegola.

I rekon BB is a done deal

TMac is interesting, i am still amazed anyone would trade for him with what he is contracted for.... but stranger things have happened.

 

Most of it is fluff as Ricky is a born salesman, but that Menegola rumour has me very excited.

So 3½ years then? ?

Yes it’s 3 years with performance based trigger to get 4th year. That’s about right.  I was very nervous about a 5 year deal.  

Need to reserve 5 year deals for gun mids like JV, Clarry and Trac.  

End 2021 - Clarry gets 5 year deal, Salem gets 4 year deal, Maxy gets 3 year deal.

For those interested I am hearing that we’d be very keen to have a chat to Adam treloar. If the pies are willing to pay a decent chunk of his salary we’d see him as a fit on the opposite wing to Langdon. 

It has been reported that Buckley told Treloar that senior Filth players wanted him gone, so it seems like he will go somewhere. Hard to see how the Pies get someone to pay his contract and get good picks given they have severed the relationship.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
