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.

Not really a fan of Tex - best well behind him imo and may be a culture killer

Contracted till end of 2023 at Swans I think but Joel Amartey is the guy I would be looking at - 197cm 100kg, can mark, kick and pretty mobile - with the right coaching and an opportunity could be a player

I've shuddered in horror every time I've seen the 'Taylor Walker possible recruit' thread on the main page, so I'm looking for reassurance that there are better options out there.

I'm keen to hear people's opinions on possible next key forward options for the Demons. It is clearly the next item on the list management, erm, management list. Respectable veterans slightly younger than our current ones to cover the impending hole? Mid-career club-switch prospects? Young key forwards who aren't getting games but could provide an honest contest?

If I can figure out how to add a poll to the post later, I'll take in people's nominations and create a poll.

So, who have people got an eye on for this essential part of any 'dynasty creation'?

Walker would be a perfect fit right now.  But here is a bit of a left field trade scenario if, IF we can't keep Jackson.

Melb Trade: Jackson & future 4th.  Recieve: J. Ugle-Hagen & First Round

Freo Trade: Lobb & First Round.  Recieve: L. Jackson & Second Round

Dogs Trade:  J. Ugle-Hagen & Second Round.  Recieve:  Lobb & Future 4th

Dogs really want Lobb,  and apparently Jamarra isn't happy with not getting a game.  He is too good a talent and them chasing Lobb doesn't look good for him.  He would be a good prospect for our future teaming up with JVR.

Obviously the picks would work out differently but just a rough idea.

That is a wonderfully ridiculous statement

Jaheeezus H Chriiist,

Hagen and a first rounder.  Don't get me wrong he was great for a 12min patch in the GF and is going to be a gun.

Essentially, we get 2 first rounders for him which is what I'd expect

Dude..

Like I said different picks,  I'm not going into futures and stuff.  I don't know enough about it all.  But they can't play Naughton, Bruce, Darcy, Ugle-Hagen and Lobb who they are reportedly very keen on.

But Hagen is no good and That’s why he can’t get a game. 
Anyway F all that. I want Jackson to stay

Jack Watts was Tough compared to Ugle-Hagen

Please don’t insult my intelligence

Lobb is 30 before next season. Wouldn't logic tell you he's coming in to fill the gap while Jamarra and Darcy develop? No guarantee Darcy will end up a forward anyway.

And that's ignoring  the fact your trade s extremely lopsided and the Dogs wouldn't do it in a million years.

No he didn’t.

Agree. He played a good 5 minutes (which of course will be forever apppreciated).

Id argue that Gus was our best player during the 2nd & 3rd quarters. He was immense those 2 quarters, never dropped his head.

Hagen is a no 1 draft pick who hadn't played footy for 2 years before he was drafted.  He will be fine.

I want Jacko to stay to,  which is why this is a hypothetical.

It was a good patch,  but i still think Vineys hand in that quarter was just as good.

They have already said Darcy is going to play forward.  Even if he is a stop gap,  ya recon Ugle-Hagen is gonna play in the two's for another 3 years.  It's just an opportunity to get a good young fwd.  Like I said in the original post,  picks will be different but futures and stuff will come into it.  Too hard to do that

LJ had a direct hand in one of our 7 goals by way of a beautiful clearance to Oliver. Every other goal was manufactured by others.

Gus, Oliver, Fritta, Viney and Trac were epic in that quarter and it does my head in when people claim that we wouldn’t have won the GF without Jackson. It does a total disservice to his teammates.

Jackson changed the entire momentum of the game. Yes Viney was huge as well, but it was Jackson who denied The Bulldogs any touches of the Ball when he went into the Ruck so that we had total Domination 

Ugle-Hagen has done nothing, regardless of what Luke Darcy keeps saying

No he didn't, and even the players and goodwin say it was viney's stoppage work that set up harms that swung momentum.

Even those goals at the end, Jackson lost both those taps and viney got both the clearances. 

Not too many 20yo key fwds have done much at thise stage of their career.

    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
