    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.

Hi all,

I was having a bit of a look through bigfooty and found one post a bit interesting.

It was along the lines of would Melbourne be interested in either Adam Campbell or Ryan Murphy?

This got me thinking, i personally would like to get either of these guys (preferably Murphy) as the likes of Nietz, Yze and Robbo are coming towards the ends of their careers.

Both of these players could be possible FF replacements, given the fact that i think that Bate, Dunn & Newton won't be big enough for FF, although all will be excellent players.

Now both of these boys are still young 22or 23. Murphy is 192 tall, 95kg and was a No12 draft pick, where as Campbell is 194, 92kg and was a No27 draft pick.

Now the question is what would you be prepared to give up??

Imagine a future forward line of:

f: Davey Murphy Newton

hf: Dunn Bate Silvia

newton is listed as 193 cm 90 kg

bate is listed as 190 cm 92 kg

dunn is listed as 192 cm 90 kg

and they are all just 20. what makes you think they wont be big enough giving an extra 2 or 3 preseasons?

i am a big fan of murphy but campbell is an unknown to me.

the only worry is that fremantle will want more that we are willing to give up... plus what has that club done to him because they dont have the best discipline record, on or off the field.

assuming we wanted him, i think we would offer a 2nd or 3rd round pick... and freo wont accept.

Good Point!

Well i see Bate holding CHF, Dunn roaming forward (don't think he likes contact, never see him going one on one), and i'm not sure how Newton will turn out. I don't think MFC can have all its hopes on one person to replace Neitz. What if Newton doesn't make it??

miller 194 cm 96 kg

Miller isn't a FF or a FB or a CHB and now Bate's taken CHF........he's gone.

I think that Freo would be open to offers for either of them if they can hold onto Pav.

If pav leaves all of a sudden Murphy & Campbell's value to Freo rises substantually.

The question is what does freo need? I would offer Bruce for Murphy and their first or second round pick!?

well campbell can kick a sherrin about 75 metres so maybe centre half forward would be good for him also.

Campbell may be cheap as he hasn't played much afl, and with pav, tarrent, farmer etc is well down in the list of prefered forwards.

Murphy looks OK but Campbell is a real unknown quantity. Would only entertain this on a swap of players or low draft picks.

The biggest problem with this is that it arose on a thread on bigfooty so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Chris Johnson back to Perth?

our priority pick (pick 18 most likely) will no doubt be bantered around for trade possbilities at years end.

it will be a useful pick as it would be very attractive for clubs in luring fringe youngsters we have our eye on. i would definitely be willing to trade this pick if the right player came along. Miller or Jamar as 2 genuine trade baits we can use as sweeteners to any deal.

options:

Ryan Murphey (freo)

Cameron Wood (briss)

Brent Prissmal (geelong)

Byrnes (geelong)

all these would be worth about pick18 plus a jamar/miller/3rd round swap of draft picks

    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

    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
