    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.

Delisting/Out of Contract Targets

Is former Richmond and West Coast player Patrick Naish worth a shot?

Played 11 games for the Eagles this year.

Here is an article about him: https://www.zerohanger.com/former-tiger-and-eagle-patrick-naish-searching-for-career-lifeline-afl-trade-news-128684/

Might be worth putting on the rookie list and see how he goes playing in the VFL for the Casey Demons to see if he is up to having one final chance as an AFL player?

Of the delisted players, the only ones that interest me at all are;

1. Kyle Hartigan: Key position depth should Tomlinson leave. Would play Turner ahead of him, but break glass in case of emergency.

2. Tom Phillips: Genuine wing which we lack. Would have the potential to force his way into our 22 should he regain his his 2019 form.

3. Liam Stocker: Outside of Dunstan we have no inside mids coming through. Stocker is young enough we could give him the opportunity to develop at Casey.

4. Jackson Callow: Key position player who has some talent. Good set of hands.

I wouldn't be averse to rookie listing Callow. Still only 20yo next year and looked good as an 18yo. Strong mark and lovely kick.

I would have had a crack at Olly Henry instead of Grundy but it is what it is..

He is homesick and wants to go to Geelong, to be with family.

That 50 minute drive from the Lexus Centre to Geelong, must be gut wrenching for him.

Highly doubt we'll chase any delisted free agents this year.

Yeah, what do we have, two primary list spots? Maybe Rookie List for a recycled tall but I think they will go young.

So if we lose LJ, Hunt, Bedford and Weid, and Rosman and Mitch Brown as well, then the list is down to 36.  That’s 6 vacancies. (presumably Baker, Hibbo & Melksham are offered one year contracts). 
 

Add Grundy and 3 draftees. That’s still two vacancies. Maybe we will bring in another player through trade or delisted free agent, and a rookie selection (or keep for a SSP pickup preseason).

Hopefully Emile-Brenna goes undrafted then we can automatically add him to our rookie B list

Completely forgot about him..

Really hope we've got the list spot ready to go because all talks seems to lead that we may be able to get him outside the top 40.

Rate him highly and adds exactly what we're lacking.

Agree DD36. Excellent disposal and decision making. But FE-B definitely needs 2 years of preseason in the gym and lots of protein powder drinks.

With our luck he will go just before 40.

Yep, like the look of his poise and composure but 62kg at 181cm? Would need at least 2 years to build the body but could be a risk worth taking.

Stack, RCD and Martin all worth considering.

Stack has the talent but I’d be a hard no if Richmond can’t get him switched on

RCD would be good midfield depth. Could take over from Dunstan in 2024 as our best VFL mid and would like to see him tagging at AFL level if given a chance. 

Martyn’s not a bad little flanker at either end if we went elsewhere in the draft

Sydney Stack certainly has talent. But I know he has had previous behavioural issues. I can't forget that HUGE bump he laid on Jack Viney a few years ago though! Personally, I think West Coast will pick him up as a replacement for Willie Rioli Junior. But that's just my opinion.

Riley Collier-Dawkins is the interesting one. Especially as he was taken in the first round of the 2018 AFL National Draft. Is he still worth giving a 2nd chance to?

Here is a bit of a "video game theme" highlights video from Riley's draft year:

He might be worth giving a rookie draft pick selection for? However, I guess that's up to Jason Taylor and the MFC recruitment team to decide?

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
