  • 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.


John Meesen keen on Dees

According to Jake Niall in todays Age, John Meesen is keen to return to Victoria next year with the Demons likely to be is destination. He was number 8 pick in the 2004 draft and was recruited from the Falcons. He's a big unit and was a highly regarded junior. Injury held him back this year. Nothing said as to what the Crows want in return.

Thoughts?

Gee, this is going to be a stellar trade week. Bring it on!

A footy loving mate of mine made the remark once that trade week is the second best week in footy, second only to GF week. I agree!

well it will be this year...last year was a total yawn!!!

Going to be mayhem this year... beaudy !!! lol

How about this idea?

If both Meeson (pick 8 in 2004 but has been ravaged by injury) and Judd both choose Melbourne as their club.

Melbourne:

Gain: Judd, Meeson,

Lose: Pick 4 + Aaron Davey + Pick 37 (a sweetener- how about Chris Johnson)

WestCoast:

Gain: Pick 4 + Pick 10 + (a sweetener- Chris Johnson)

Lose: Judd

Adelaide:

Gain: Aaron Davey + Pick 37

Lose: Pick 10 + Meeson

Seems pretty fair for all 3 clubs. WestCoast get 2 top10 picks plus a young West Australian. Adelaide get Aaron Davey (they want him badly) for not too much. We get a blistering midfielder and a promising young ruck that could possibly solve our future ruck problems.

Basically we trade Davey for Pick10 + Meeson and we'll chuck in our 3rd rounder...this seems fair for both teams.

if Judd chooses us, we will probably need 2 top10 picks to get the deal done. while I would prefer to keep Davey, wev'e got to lose something good to get Judd.

We are going to have to put up much more than that.

It would be a McLean, pick 4 & 21 trade Sylvinator for Judd. Perhaps more.

But I can certainly deal with that for Judda!

dont be silly. Mclean + 4+ 21 would be a masssiivvveee rip off for us.

3 players for 1 (inclding our star 21yrold future captain)---are you a WCE supporter?

if Judd chooses MFC as his prefered club we will be getting Judd for under market value. if he chooses us WestCoast are basically forced to deal with only us.

the deal will be:

Sylvia + 4

Bruce/Johnstone + 4'

Davey+ 4+ sweetener (maybe 21 or Chris Johnson).

id say the only players off limits for the demons are Mclean, Rivers, Bate, Jones

Future Captain???

Hahaha. A future trade or delisting pal.

He has shown nothing this year.

Jones is the new man on campus!

Wow. Fickle.

Delisting Mclean? :lol:

I'm gonna keep repeating it because I like the sound of it - pick 4, Sylvia, pick 21 for Judd is a fair deal, not a bonanza for WC, but a fair sacrifice from the Demons.

But I would puke if we gave up one star to get another. Particularly when you consider that Judd's arrival would obviously take the first tagger, giving Mclean a little more space to get used to attention.

I would be very upset if Mclean ever captains the Demons.

Really don't rate him, the worst awareness ive seen on a talented player in a long time. Always always always gets caught, lets remember, Danihers last game in Essendon 50, caught for holding the ball like 4 times by Dale Thomas.

Also he has got in TWO punch ups in the past few weeks. He is no captain and is no star of the club, I really rated him in his first years but this year, no matter how "unfit" was deplorable.

Jones, Rivers are the only untouchables. I would keep Sylvia over Mclean anyday.

All being said, happy for him to stay because I know the talent is there, but captain, my god I would be [censored].

Dale Thomas eh????

Didn't know he played for Essendon.

They were two different examples. The Essendon game where he got caught in their 50 (COMMA) Got caught by Dale Thomas like 4 times (this was in Neitas 300th)

Comma, full stop usually means something new or adding something.... In this case, adding.

Can you explain this to me? What has Sylvia shown us so far? Has he had a BOG yet? I know Brock's had a few including a final.

I am sick of the excuses for Sylvia about not having done a full preseason and injuries. I would be happy for him to move on now while he still has value, instead of us all writing in 5 years time "Oh, he would have been a gun if he could have got his body right". He may turn out to be great elsewhere, but they may be because he was given a wake-up call.

i think sylvia is good and tough but could be good trade bate...always shows glimpses of potential like against the bulldogs when he kicked the goal to put us infront.....yet we still lost (i'm talking about the 1st time we played them)

That that match against the dogs showed us exactly what Col can do. He was probably best-a-field that day, maybe except for Davey. He had 20 odd disposals, took 12 marks or so marks and kicked 3 goals. i Wouldnt trade him.

    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
