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 wonder if there's any risk Rivers might want to return to Perth. Freo used pick 7 in his draft on Hayden Young and arguably Rivers has been better than Young or certainly at least as good. He's also 2 years younger than Cerra and has already proven he's going to be an outstanding player. But how much of an upgrade is Cerra over Rivers?  It would want to be a lot to give him up unless there's some risk he might want to go back to Perth anyway. 

Why is Rivers gonna leave?

I can't see us doing this Cerra trade. We have no draft selection to please Freo. As much as Freo keep asking for Jackson he ain't leaving at all.

for us to get the deal done i'd be looking at the Gold Coast, they've stated they're open to trading good picks for established AFL players, if we had a couple looking for opportunity there may be a chance there, but that's how i'd see that deal getting done, unless someone else left and we bundled picks into a first rounder for Freo

I wouldn't rule out Richmond as a candidate. They're losing Chol and CCJ which will net them 2nd and 3rd round picks presumably on top of the 2 x first rounders they already have. They will have the cash and trade capital. Surely a more appealing destination.

Edit: As much as I would love to add Cerra, I'm hoping we have our eye to the future for a gun KPF.

King, Georgiades, L. McDonald etc..

Richmond have the draft assets to satisfy Fremantle but apparently have no room in their TPP. Unlikely is what I've heard

I think this is the play, Gold Coast Currently have pick 19, 

If it were me i'd be attempting to Bundle up Sam and Pick 34 for that pick, and then attempting to engage Richmond on a swap of our 2022 first round pick, and a pick upgrade for them, for their second first rounder pick 16. 

The temptation for the Tigers would be if we have a premiership hangover they could get a much better pick next year, but worst case they should get an equal return on investment for that pick, plus an upgrade. 

Pick 16 and 19 in my opinion is a good starting point for a deal to bring in Cerra. 

so effectively 2022 first rounder, 34 and Weideman for Cerra

Which to be fair and pragmatic, a young bloke with a hot girl won’t even be thinking about his contract. 
 

If he splits with the girl he could be gone!

Chol is a free agent. I doubt he will get them anymore than a third-round compo pick. CCJ a third-rounder at best as well.

True, just realised Chol was a free agent due to being delisted previously a few years ago.  Talk is a probable 3rd round compensation pick. I'd imagine you're right on CCJ as well but as we saw with preuss ruckman sometimes carry a premium. Sounds like North is the destination so pick 38 seems far more appropriate than pick 20.

During last year’s trade and draft period and even on the night of the draft itself, I was gobsmacked by the audacity of some of the trading. There are lots of things that can happen that we have little or no chance of predicting at this point in time.

 

This is so very true and isn’t it great that we, as Demon fans, still have a week or so to concentrate on more important things before we turn our full focus and attention to things like management of our list for the future?

I agree the Gold Coast could be the way but Id target the WB first round pick. They need points for Darcy and it may be an easier sell to package up a few 2 & 3rd rounder to get the dogs 1st and give the dogs extra points.

I'm so glad Geelong traded up to take Holmes ahead of us, very happy with Bowey and Laurie (though get to see Laurie play). Holmes looks quick but not necessarily a good footballer.

Outgoing Fremantle midfielder Adam Cerra says he is yet to nominate a club of choice with trade talks set to officially open in under two weeks.

Cerra requested a trade back to his home State at the end of the regular season, with Carlton and grand finalists Melbourne both pitching hard to sign the first-round draftee.

The 21-year-old said there was plenty of time to declare who he wanted to suit up for next year after playing 76 games since being selected by the Dockers with pick five in the 2017 draft.

“I’m sure that will come out in its due course,” Cerra told 10News.

“It was obviously a tough decision. Firstly a life decision for me.

“I have obviously loved my time, but I am looking forward now. Still, lots to happen, so it’s out of my control.”

Worked out how dees make the trade for cerra. Trade picks 33, 42 and 54 to dogs (1200 points) for pick 17 (will become 19 - worth about 1000 points) dogs want points.

Trade dogs pick and dees future to Freo for cerra. Those two picks worth more than pick 6.

Dees recently extended tmac for 23 and 24. I think because he has a big contract in 22, so they’ll spread it over three years. Cabt see t Mac playing good footy beyond this year which makes it odd as to why they extended his contract for two more years after 2022. 

Must be to do with clearing room for cerra.  

If they do all of this for one bloke he better be very good.

Adam Cerra (Fremantle)

“Richmond is as far out of the race as any other team. You can’t say 100 per cent because there can always be a late change.”

“But my understanding with Cerra is that Carlton is still the club and that’s because Melbourne can’t get (the trade) done.

“I can’t imagine a situation where Robbie D’Orazio and Paul Connors, his manager, allow him to nominate a club that he can’t get to. He will nominate a club that he can get to and at the moment that is Carlton, even though Melbourne has had a serious crack. There’s no draft pick they can offer and there’s not going to be any players they’re going to give up either.”

That is the assumption of Ralph. 

If Cerra nominates us we will get the deal done.

This was from Tom Morris?

I think the media are spitballing until Cerra comes out and nominates.

I must admit I trust the club whole heartedly but this is going to be a tough one to get done. Carlton have to be the logical option for Cerra.

    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
