What are you stalking me now or something? Didn't realize it was so unheard of to post regularly on a forum

My point my angry friend, didn't see you attacking the latter post I mentioned.

I haven't seen it. Point it out to me and I will laugh to my heart's content when midnight Wed comes and hopefully nothing has happened

How about we all relax, that way it's not just you. 

Been a tough week, I could definitely use a Nurofen personally.

What irks me is that after we say we're not trading him, and Geelong say "we respect Melbourne's position", talks between him, his manager, and Geelong have clearly still continued. 

Is this all just preparation for next years trade period? Make his position at the club untenable so that they can come in with low ball offers? It also serves a secondary purpose where it potentially makes him less likely to provide us with his absolute best, or at the very least puts his head in a different space.

I swear they have done this with lots of other players as well, they've become the Barcelona of the AFL where they swoop in and take the best the league has to offer.

Same thing has happened with Bailey Smith from the Bulldogs, Ferals have had the entire year to smooth talk him and brain wash him with feral propoganda.

Clarry's camp either clearly has a problem with Pert or this is all a Cats media powerplay

Love Brad Green's stance on all this [censored] from the feral media circus, all orchestrated to the beat of their drums.

F k em all.

It’s not the “regular posting” mate. It’s the tone of the regular posts. You seem a bit angry. Whatever…

Stuff it!! 🤮🤯😵‍💫😵

Your source???

Give me a spell, who do you think you are?

Gee you must be important

You've just been given the company line why would they tell you what was really going on?

It's almost as laughable as when another cheer squad member claimed that the cheers quad work really closely with the football department. One of the most ridiculous things I've seen on here and I've never heard such rubbish.

These people would have countless losers coming up to them asking them for goss. You're just not as important as you think you are.

Back it up a notch fella. It's a beautiful morning. Take a walk in the sun and breathe in some fresh air.

Can you please name your source, as the club monitors this site, and they will be able to follow it up to ensure they are all on the same page with the deal.😆🤣😃🙃

Source - My wife’s boyfriend - said that OLIVER will either stay at Melbourne or he won’t. 
 

to be fair, I think from a Melbourne position we hold him for 12 more months. The main reasons for this are:

Teams don’t get better losing A grade talent. 

I don’t think Geelong will give us what we believe he is worth - trade wise.

We definitely do not need to clear up our books, so his contract is not detrimental to us signing players or retaining players. 

I think that he will return to form with a pre season leading to an increase in form and therefore increase in trade value. If in 12 months he wants to leave then we can shop him around and put him on the market as opposed to just Geelong. if he does not return to form - his value will be what is being offered to us by Geelong anyway. 

I think that there is no real net gain for us to send off OLIVER unless we are able to get 2 x first rounders or something similar in value.
Also if we trade OLIVER we basically go into full rebuild mode. which I’m not sure will be fun

did your source tell you how it gets done? What are Geelong offering in exchange and is it reasonable?

We all get info,whether wrongly or rightly, and what's the relevance to importance? We all have opinions!

I have the same info as you coming from within the four walls of another club. 
 

the only thing is surely Brad Green would know our intentions and if so not double down on confirming him to stay? Bnf night and recently on twitter .

Agree with everything except maybe the last 2 words.

We all hear rumours and personally I love hearing them whether they turn out correct or incorrect. It’s one of the reasons DL is good reading.

I disagree with attacking people over their rumours and hope they always continue.

Just on this one about Clarry going to the Cats, it would see several people appear as liars or fools if it happened. Lamb, Green, Richo and Goody have all said 100% he is staying. Mackie said it won’t happen too as i recall. The Cats apparently only offering a F1 and not wanting all of his salary and not budging. That if true would stop it happening.

For the above reasons I don’t see it happening, but then again footy is a funny business, yes business not game.

Keep up the rumours Picket and watch out for those snakes.

Don't know why you're so salty Saty. Obviously we're not going to reveal our sources.

I can't speak for Picket but my source is a very good one who has no reason to feed me BS. I thought Demonlanders would want to know that Geelong still think they're a chance. 

That's me done for the day. Enjoy the sunshine folks.

It’s a fact he got told this Saty. There is a subtle difference.

Calm down, dude.

Man, this site is becoming increasingly toxic of late. 

Yep.

Some absolutely trash posting. Playing the person not the ball. 

And of course it's all the usual suspects.

Makes the site bordering unreadable.

Embarrassing really as I presume such posts are from adults. 

 

I’ve been told by most of my football following friends that all of Oliver, Petracca and Pickett are definitely gone. They’ve also suggested Goodwin is a dud, the club is a joke, the window was never open, the flag doesn’t count as it was in Perth and none of it matters anyway as I’ll be at the snow. One seriously continues with the line that the Doggies were the better team in 21 and hadn’t it been for a few pivotal free kicks they would have won the flag. 
 

I just reread this and realised I don’t have to leave Demonland to get these opinions, ain’t life grand!

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
