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.

Does this make general sense...

Naughton to WCE for pick 1/2

Lobb plus Freo first pick (16) to Dogs for pick 1/2 to Freo

Freo's pick 1/2 plus Meek to MFC for Jackson

There is no way the Dogs do this deal.  Lobb is over 30 and a hack

North will build their forward line around Larkey. No way they let him leave unless he wants out in a contract year, and even then they should push him to the PSD and draft him again.

If Jackson goes we offer North what we get for him in picks and offer Larkey the same contract we would offer Jackson.

Definitely a long shot but if Larkey stays he has to play through 3-5 years of rebuilding before they're at our level.  Come to us and he'll play finals every year (we hope).

Surely more chance of getting him than Noughton / King bros etc

2023 Dee’s forward line 

 

Koz.          Naughton / Larkey (either one).   ANB

Fritsch.           J.Kennedy.      Spargo 

 

Emerg:   TMac, BB, JVR (replace JK in 2024)

We swindle JK and Naughton yet Neale Bullen still gets a bloody gig!

I love how Demonland is so pessimistic about us being 3rd on the ladder, but can convince itself effortlessly that a generational forward from a competing team is going to stroll on over into our goal square. 

Check my forward line for next year  :)

I've really enjoyed watching Larkey for a while now and really have just assumed he's untouchable, as a real generational key forward that North can build their forward line on.

However, what would it take to get it done? He'd be huge for us.

If it makes it easier for you, just imagine an "if this rumour is true" in front of the naughton trade packages. No one here is commenting under any conviction that a rumour is fact.

Everyone knows the DL draft and trade forum is the most fun place for thought experiments, to take our minds off the losses  :laugh:

Idea? 

Freo: revieve Jackson 

Doggiez: Lobb, future first and/or second split between freo and dees 

Dees: naughton 

I think the real difficult part of this idea is how to compensate the doggies on a player signed to an elite player signed to a 4 year contract. I do think a 3 way trade is likely between us all since I also have trouble deciding how freo will compensate us in a trade. Maybe involving Collingwood (grundy) or north (larkey).

WCE cant trade their first pick coz they havent used two in a four year cycle

The question is, if you're a WB list manager, how much is enough to satisfy your fans that you bled both Melb/Freo to get the most satisfying package for losing a generational key forward with 2 years left on a contract

WB aren't walking out of this without 3 first round picks at a minimum,  2 from Freo, 1 future from Melb. Lobb is steak knives in all of this. Jeremy Cameron at 27 was 3 firsts, Naughton is 22.

How about we offer Nort to swap / return our PREMIERSHIP FF, BBB, for Larkey who has never even played a final.  Seems very fair.  🤗🤔🙄

Been thinking the same names. 

Geogiades is the most intriguing one for me, he looks a natural forward with his leading patterns and he can mark in contests.

But is he a No 1 forward? 

Henry and McLean I just haven’t seen enough of.

Ben Brown will still be our #1 but he needs help.

BB And georgiades is a good set up and JVR developing too, which he will eventually take Brown's spot.

or maybe JVR might play the jackson role next yr.

but i really like the idea of getting Georgiades

they can trade it, but have to get a first rounder back in,  can trade out their first round and get in a later first rd plus more.

Thommo must have market value to a lot of clubs needing a ready made key defender. We'd be struggling for KPD depth without him though.

From a selfish point of view let’s keep as depth, but why would he want to stay when he could play in the seniors.

I'd say there would be some teams into Thommo. 

The Doggies are one that are in dire need. Straight swap Thommo <> Naughton 😮.

In all seriousness, he is probably a 3rd round pick.  Or maybe consider having a crack at Brucey? I'd watch him closely over the next 2 games, to see whether his body can keep going.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
