    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 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.

That’s an absolute steal. Acres will likely play round 1.  Had a very good year with Freo. Future 3rd!!!! Pick 50ish in 2023. Wtf. Carlton are the obvious winner. 

Looks like a pure money deal

Freo reportedly offered 180k per year.. Carlton offering $350k

I think a statement needs to be made here and an example set.  Send him into the draft and he takes his chances.  No deal!!

We would then get nothing in return.  SFA.  Zilch.

The statement we'd be making is "We're so dumb we're prepared to cut off our nose to spite our face".

Yes but he potentially doesn't get to Freo... that's the point.  Forces their hand.

Not when you consider his contract is for about $350K

Freo are getting fleeced!! Logue walks into the Kangas and they give up very little and it’s delayed until 2023.  

F2nd and F3rd is all NM have.

Bad outcome for us. Leaves us no closer to getting a top 10 pick for Jackson. Anything outside top 10 is a failure for us. Sucks for us Freo are a sh*t club!

A [censored] club that has pick 13, what do you call the clubs with the top 10 picks?

You're saying we should tell Freo that we will send him to the draft?   It would be an empty threat.

As if they'd buy a scenario where neither of the the clubs nor the player get what they want.

We'll cut a deal with Freo (or West Coast, I don't care) and get the best result we can.

Absolute turnover merchant, who finds himself at his third club.

The bundling of 13 with North's F2nd  ( say approx 21 ) will go a long way to getting us the first pick we want.

Then Freo's F1st plus the Lobb pick and or the Acres pick, will do the same for the second pick we want.

Or just give us all of those picks, plus the North F3rd and we will do the deals.

We could easily end up with 2 picks inside 10.

Then ask them to throw in Treacy and they have LJ.

So we would get initially 13, North F2nd and F3rd, Freo F1st, Lobb pick and Acres pick F50 something.

See how easy it is.

TPP?

They used AFL assistance picks.  Not ok?

Yeah, I meant more that they still have to pay wages that take up total player payments, so they're not really free.

AFL 3rd rd compo #52-53 for Hunt as a UFA 

—————————

* GWS likely to offer #43 (GWS 3rd rd) for Bedford .  

BUT Dees should push for GWS 21 for Bedford and MFC pick 32.
* Dees likely to then offer magpies the #21 for Grundy 

—————————

* FREO likely to offer acquired pick 8 (from Port to Kangas as part of JHF trade ; Kangas then use in deal to get Logue) PLUS  Freo 2023 future 1st rd for Jackson 

^^either use pick 8 to get McKenzie, Phillipou or Hollands OR offer GWS the package of pick 8 and Freo future 1st to get pick 3 (GWS) to get either Cadman or Tsatas.  

I like your work. Pick 8 + Freo future 1st for GWS pick will depend on who GWS have their eye on. They are also in need of a KPF which makes me think they’ll potentially not trade to give us first dibs.

I haven't listened to one word of trade radio.

It's my own silly idea, that might not be that silly, as it can be easily done by the Dockers, if they want to finish this trade right now.

Would you do that deal if you were Tim Lamb?  I would.

Can future picks be used for their points value.

The Dockers currently have every pick in my scenario except the Lobb pick.

If they clear Lobb to the Dogs and give us that pick, with the others they already have, it would be an easy deal.

They have apparently already offered us 13 and F1st and we have refused.

In other words, they throw in North F2nd and North F3rd and maybe Acres F50 something and clear Lobb and give us the pick.

If they were serious about Jacko and are worried about WCE, then do it now and it's done, all over, finished.

Given the amount of players they are losing   Freo will have to keep some picks to fill spots on their list. 

They will get picks for retired and delisted players. I think you only need to add 3 players and they are trading in players too.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
