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.

I listened to the post interview discussion and fan call in which centred mainly on Stephenson.

He didn’t disclose anything new regarding Treloar other than it’ll be difficult to bring players in unless he is moved out.

Doesn’t sound like they are interested in TMac.

No mention of Tom Phillips

There was a reference to the first round pick being on the table. Didn’t catch whether this years or next.

It is their 2021 first round pick (so that the points aren't used for their F/S (Daicos) next year). 

It may be a good bet for a club to take.  I expect them to slide down the ladder and probably out of the 8.  Also, 2021 is said to be a very good draft without so many compromised picks as this year.

I didn't catch while listening but I’ve googled and found this on fox sports. Pretty sure this is what they were talking about. 

 PIES’ KEY 2021 PICK ON THE TABLE

Collingwood are reportedly open to parting with their 2021 first-round draft pick, in another sign the club is set to be one of the most active this trade period.

Foxfooty.com.au has confirmed AFL Media‘s report that the Pies would be willing to deal for its future first-round selection, given the club is set to pickup father-son prodigy Nick Daicos, who could go with pick No.1.

I wonder whether this year's and next year's 2nds for the Pies 2021 1st would be a good deal for us?

They must be poorly paid at the bulldogs if that is a substantial increase on his current contract as has been reported. 

Edit:  Browne's info suspect again!  Sam Edmond seems to have a better grapevine:  “The reason he is considering leaving - he’s been sold the massive midfield dream. The lure of that, plus a big contract that conservatively speaking is worth $700,000 a season and playing with his brother Kyle is unbelievable".  From Fox news.

what midfield dream would that be? the one that has an ongoing disconnect with its forwardline?

I would do it!  The good thing about including next years 2nd is it gives them some points for Daicos who is touted to be top 5 so they will need a lot of points to get him.

I'm guessing a few club's will have their eye on the pies 2021 1st.

"It was really good that Ben Brown has selected Meloburne as the club he'd like to play for. We have had a couple of preliminary discussions with North Melbourne. We don't think it will be a first round pick. There's been a few picks and players discussed so far" - Josh Mahoney

Mahoney interview:

  • Ben Brown:  Started trade conversation with North and deal will get done in next 10 days.  Had some discussions around picks/players.  It won't be a first round pick. 
  • Tom McDonald:  Ben Brown changes role for Tom.  Came back a bit heavy after covid.  Club has had no discussions with other clubs yet.  Asked Tom and his manager to look around and will see how that goes.
  • Oscar McDonald:   Conversation was side tracked before Mahoney answered it...
  • Preuss:  Only one conversation so far (with GWS). 
  • Looking for a ruck back up either in the trade period or off-season (which I assume means the rookie draft or the Preseason Selections).
  • Recap on trading out this year's first round pick to North, last year.
  • His new GM role - not much new to what we know. 
  • Treloar would be handy but unlikely to be able to get him.  Sounded very unlikely.
  • Phillips would be handy and we may look at him on the wing but happy to look at internal candidates.
  • Jones didn't want 2021 to be a token year.  300 not the driver for the contract.  Is doing some coaching.

Whoever was interviewing seemed more interested in getting through his list of questions than exploring any of the above.  Very frustrating.  I really wanted to hear the update on Oscar.

Good write up Lucifer.

Won't be first rounder for Brown. Few picks and players discussed.

Treloar sounded very unlikely.

Philips not sure, as Josh keeps spriuking the internal candidates to fill the wing role line.

He also mentioned during discussion of future first trade with North for Pickett that we would like to move our first pick of 25 higher if possible. Always wanting to get a higher position in the draft.

Thank you very much for summary.

I listened for first half, but Matt Rendell's interview style was so irritating I turned it off.

Is that who it was!  I also found his style very irritating.   I thought Barrett was much better.  At least he gave people time to answer the questions.

    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.
