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.

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

Just re-watched AFL tonight on Fox 

Ralph said in regards to Cerra 

"I think he'll certainly get to the Carlton Football Club. He hasn't made his official deceleration."

"i think if he had his druthers, i think he would prefer to get to Melbourne. Maybe call that 60-40. That's certainly something He's weighing up.

"Best mates with Ed Langdon there, Can see the window at Melbourne. But there is just no way he can get there given they haven't got a first rounder, they've given that to Brisbane,

"they'd have to give up someone like a WA player like Luke Jackson, That is not going to happen."

He went on to compare the scenario to Chris Judd, when he wanted to go to Collingwood, but they didn't have the trade pieces to get it done, so he got traded to Carlton

I can confirm that a club official unofficially met with the Fremantle Dockers and unofficially offered 2 future 1st round picks. Freo simply replied what use is 2 future pick 18’s to them, we would need to come back with a better offer.

No mate it’s not, it was my attempt at humour.  I was inferring we win the next couple of flags which would mean we only have pick 18 in the next couple of drafts.

We're potentially dealing with Peter Bell so I have believed it...

But not bad by you..

The fact that nobody wants to coach there has to be a massive factor. 3 have already passed up the gig. It cannot be ignored. If he goes there then it’s clear he is more interested in the $$$ and if that’s the case then that’s the best outcome for all involved.

It might also mean he wants to come to Vic and Carlton are one of the only clubs with both the capital and the will to get a trade done. Richmond were talked about earlier this year and seem to have the capital I wonder why they've cooled? Or Cerra just doesn't want to go there (unlikely)?

I think the Visy Board 'job' had more to do with him going to the blues than anything else ... Ralph went back a fair way to come up with that doozy

Interesting comments from Simon Garlick of Freo. Coincidence of time?

Speaking on 6PR’s Sportsday WA, Garlick said the club hadn’t had “detailed discussion” around Cerra’s movements and potential suitors of late, but expected talks to ramp up in the coming weeks.

“It’s still really early in that piece, but that’ll start to heat up I’d suggest in the next two to three weeks in particular.”

To me this reeks of Isaac Smith burning us last year holding off for Geelong to finish their finals campaign to come out and nominate them as his club of choice. Can sense Cerra doing a similar thing burning Carlton waiting for us to finish our campaign. If he was set on Carlton he probably would've nominated them by now.

Sam Edmond on SEN just said Melbourne have made a strong pitch to Cerra and also thinks the delay in Cerra nominating a club has Melbourne right in the mix. Financially we can get the deal done we might have to trade out a required player to help get the deal done.

Getting Cerra seems like a bit of a fanciful dream. But if we can pull this off then Jesus H Christ I will not be unhappy about that little midfield addition. 

Correct, what a month it could be a flag picking up a bloke that will make us better then hopefully the footy gods keep smiling on us to deliver Andrew, Woey Jnr and another developing tall in the draft.

My god this would be a HUGE get for the footy club.

Still remember Darren Bewick his Eastern Rangers coach saying he could potentially be in the same calibre as Christian Petracca who he also coached.

If anyone watched Cerra this year would know he makes our midfield go up a whole new level next year.

    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
