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.

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.

Wait till after The GF….

He's requested a trade to the Eagles apparently

Pick 105 will get it done. Lucky a club still wants him.

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.

 

Exactly, and that's why it's nonsensical, let alone poor journalism, for Ralph to suggest we can't get a trade done.

Who would want to go to Carlton they turn good players into rubbish it's their culture. Walsh is the only exception to the rule but give him time I'm sure Carlton will drag him down to under performing as I said it's their culture. Cerra is ours. The only question is who along with our future first round will be swapped for him. Weid is a certainty maybe Jordon maybe Sparrow?

His opinion on the Pickett future pick swap, has already proven he has little imagination for this kind of stuff.

The fact Cerra hasn't made a decision on which club, is evidence we're well and truly in the mix. he's known he was leaving all year. 

 

Could easily be waiting on Carlton coach?

Just like we did? Things do change, I think landing Cook is as important to Carlton as getting Jackson was for us. Great get, as important (if not moreso) than the new coach appointment.

Gee you talk a bit of sense here Dwight, which is strange for this site.. My exact thoughts. If he wanted to go to the blues he would have come out by now and announced same. This also leads me to think we are a big chance and he will wait until we WIN the GF. I have trust in our back office to get it done some how.

Dr Gonzo we did not get Jacko. The AFL sent him to us to sort our mess out. Thank goodness he did.

Dazzle is right though, would be silly to nominate a club before knowing who the coach is. Might just be waiting on that before announcing.

I won't lose sleep over it if we miss him, would be a good get sure but we can do without him.

he would very much be guided by his management before making such a declaration

it would certainly be in his manager's interests to extract the best financial deal, so why not create a bit of competition and delay to pump up his deal

nothing to be gained by him in showing his hand at this early time

Why would he wait on a coach. The coach will be no good who ever it is. Carlton will be rebuilding for another 20 years they had their chance to rebuild properly but they chose Martin, Williams and Saad. I'd be amazed if Cerra wanted to waste his career at Carltank.

Cerra has pretty much openly stated that he just wants to get home to Victoria and also wants Freo compensated well.

Choosing Carlton isn't exactly the worse case scenario. They've recruited a HIGHLY successful person in Brian Cook and it seems Voss is their man to coach.

Their list isn't exactly bad as some are making out to be. You've got a 10 year key forward in Harry McKay you can build around and then Sam Walsh who's an absolute star in the making. Weitering also is a future All Australian full back and adding Cerra makes them extra competitive. They still need to add a few depth which they have already with Hewett who imo is a better pick up then Saad and Williams purely on the fact he's come from an extremely well drilled culture and we'll give them great two way running in their midfield.

From our perspective I simply cannot see how we please a Fremantle due to their high demand. Jackson and Brayshaw are completely off limits so that just needs to be ruled out.

If Cerra wants a smooth transition home then Cerra for Carltons pick 6 makes sense in a way.

This coming from someone who absolutes hates Carlton to the bone. So it actually pains me to write all that.

Well said.

So many people are unaware or ignorant of the things that the AFL did under Andy Demetriou to save us from extinction.

We were an absolute embarrassment. A rabble. Broke, with a terrible playing list and clueless "leaders" in the boardroom and in the footy department.

The AFL decided that we needed saving and sent Jackson in. They gave the subtle nudge to Roos to join us and also helped us pay our own "tanking" fines.

We owe Demetriou a huge debt of gratitude.

    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
