  • 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.

Damn I was hoping that Adelaide would match St Kilda for Crouch, solid pick up for them. 

GWS did well with Jesse, basically a free hit with him. If it doesn’t work out then nothing really lost on their end. As for Freo, another big trade bust for them! ?

EDIT also wanted to mention it’s absolutely incredible the clubs are going through the trade period without confirming what the list sizes will be. Amateur hour from the AFL.

You don't offer 3 year contracts to players you think are spuds. So the dogs obviously see what i see in him. 190cm small forward that can run and jump and has kicked a clutch goal in finals.

Be interesting how this trade plays out.  Bulldogs are getting a player that Adelaide should bid on for pick 1.  I cant remember the discount you get for nga bids.  It would be great to find a way to bundle up Hannan with some  picks and go after bulldogs first round pick

What do you think of the longer contracts we have previously offered to Harmes and TMac, Preuss and Tomlinson?

Destination Saints.

 

Ffs. Why are the Saints now the destination club? And how is their salary cap??? 
 

Big $$$ to get Carlisle. Big $$$ to get Hannebery. Big $$$ to get Hill.  Big $$$ to get Crouch. Billings must be in decent $$. Steele etc will hold out their hand for more $$$ 

and now can they afford extra $700k year for Treloar!!??!!!!?

carlisle was on big money; currently doesn't have a contract

hill they frontloaded last year, crouch is going to them on less money than he was on at the crows, billings is ooc at the end of next season, and no guarantee to stay at the aints beyond that as they've moved past him

they also have a number of veterans on relatively low contracts - geary, ryder, ross - who are key to their best 22

i think they've managed their list build quite well, but i don't think they're necessarily in a better or worse position than us, really

The AFL trade period is so boring.

A player has to consent to to being traded which means nothing surprising ever happens and we know all the moves weeks in advance anyway.

 And still they run this trade radio crap.

Heh. The called it stagnant Thursday this morning on SEN. I liked that

they have drafted so poorly that they had very few A graders in the team so plenty of cash to spend on trade-ins

This is where we could get involved, assuming Essendon get pick 8 for Saad because the dogs won't want an early pick in this years draft. I'd ask about sending our 1st round (2021), pick 26 & 53 (2020) and Hannan to the Dogs and TMac to the bombers, the Dogs sending Dunkley to Ess while we get picks 8 and 14 this year. The Bombers don't have any 2nd round picks this year

Dees: Out 2021 1st, pick 26 & 53 (2020) Hannan & TMac In: pick 8 & 14 2020. 

Dogs: out Dunkley, pick 14 In: 2021 1st (from Dees) & pick 26 & 53 (2020) & Hannan

Ess: out pick 8 In: Dunkley & TMac

I would do that, especially to get TMac off the books. Could potentially trade into next years draft to, via the Pies, if we wanted.

I would be keen to keep Hannan too Dr D.

Move on Dr and Dee3031 we are still living on his marvellous Geelong Semi sealing goal in 2018.

Mitch had all season to hit form and didn't succeed and I will Not forgive him fir the last pass to Fritsch in the last quarter at Metricon vs Lions instead of passing to Jack Viney 30 m out on his own OR having a shot himself.!!!

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
