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 Weideman does get traded (god forbid), we may then have something to trade with. No? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think we have a few options that may generate a 1st round pick.

if Cerra does nominate us then you can bet your bottom dollar that we have a plan to get it done otherwise he wouldn’t nominate. in fact I think the fact that he hasn’t nominated Carlton yet is a good sign that we are in the running.

Very true. Might be waiting until our finals journey is over before announcing. Leave us to win the flag first 🤞🏻 no distractions.

I've had a squiz at that thead. FMD you'd be worried what Freo fans would value Cerra at if he had actually achieved anything yet.

I've only had a quick look and stumbled on the post above.

But yes the debate in that thread contains a lot of hurt feelings.

I don't blame Freo fans, I'd have been upset as well if Jackson (for example) said I'm out see ya later. I understand they want to maximise the return, but demands and reality are two different things.

Unfortunately we will all have to wait until a club is nominated otherwise Freo can just sell to the highest bidder.

Worst case for Cerra is that he ends up in the draft

We could easily strike a deal. If Freo are so hell bent on first round picks then:

We land a pick in the 20-30's for Weid (Probably from North, GC, or Coll)

Package up that pick with our second rounder to send to the dogs for their first (they need points for Darcy)

Dogs 1st + Our Future First for Cerra (even though I think that's overs).

I like it - nicely explained (I always lose track in the fine detail).

Subsequently - people on Demonland can then complain that we have paid overs for the first 2 seasons at The Demons, much like Lever, or May, or....

Ralph is just trolling.

He's trolling Carlton fans really. Should be thousands of them getting uber angry at the thought Cerra may go elsewhere.

Are Freo likely to take two picks around the #15 - #18 mark?  Which become 16 -20 after F/S and Academy picks.

Draft points calcs aside, Freo would probably prefer Carlton's pick 6 (that will become 8) especially as they need to pay for Neale.  Brisbane already have picks 14 and our 2021 1st (15 - 18).  They will relish pick 6 and probably demand it.  Freo drove a very hard bargain for Neale to Brisbane and while they may not get the same value back they are likely to extract fair value.

I like your reasoning as a basis for a trade but not sure Freo will take two very low 1st rounders.  I'm guessing any deal for Cerra needs to help Freo get Neale.

We will need Adelaide's Pick 4 (6) or Gold Coast's Pick 3 (5). Cerra went at Pick 5 and with 76 games already under his belt I think has held his value. Late first rounders will not get it done in my view.

Is a pick 3 or 4 overs? Perhaps just a little so we should probably demand a 2nd rounder in return. 

Question is how do we get either of these picks. Plenty of players on the trading block / fringe (Sparrow, Weid have been mentioned), but none of them would command a pick that high unless we sent both Sparrow + Weid to GC? But then Pick 3 would feel unders.

If and it's a big IF, the Sparrow to Adelaide rumors are true.

Brisbane send Neale to Fremantle.

Fremantle send Cerra to Melbourne.

Melbourne send Sparrow to Adelaide & Future 1st Round Pick to Hawthorn.

Adelaide send former top 6 pick Fischer McAsey to Hawthorn and a later pick to Freo.

Hawthorn send Tom Mitchell to Brisbane.

There would need to be other pick swaps etc involved, but end of the day you end up with;

Brisbane: OUT Lachie Neale  IN Tom Mitchell 

Fremantle: OUT Adam Cerra IN: Lachie Neale & late Adelaide pick

Melbourne: OUT Tom Sparrow & Future 1st Round Pick  IN Adam Cerra

Adelaide: OUT Fischer McAsey & late pick  IN Tom Sparrow

Hawthorn: OUT Tom Mitchell  IN Fischer McAsey & Future 1st Round Pick.

So Hawthorn will need a little more and we probably have to give up a little more. Otherwise that's reasonably even IMO.

Totally agree. MFC and other clubs of interest would normally have made representations to Cerra and his manager in season and by now they would know who they want to go to ... it's not good footy etiquette to then nominate a team if they are still playing finals footy ... also not good practice to nominate anyone too early as you want the clubs to try and out bid each other in the belief a few extra $$$ will get it across the line ... for mfc, the trade may also be linked to someone like Weid and others moving on so those negotiations and trades need to evolve also ... I remember Mahoney saying openly that the May deal wouldn't go ahead unless Hogan moved first  ..

So Ralph did state he thinks MFC is Cerra's main priority ... he just forgot how creative MFC are at moving up the trading order and that they can make it happen 9 times out of 10

It was a comical response by Ralph. "Can't get it done cause they don't have a first rounder." Case closed? FMD lol

How was this framed? Because saying his "main priority" is us is quite a big statement to just throw out there...

    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
