    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.

We shood look to trade Johnstone to one of the following for the earliest pick we can get - St Kilda, Brisbane, Fremantle, Essendon, W Bulldogs, Richmond, 1st rnd pick +.

And we should try and get rid of Bruce. I don't care if he has just signed a contract, he will not win us a premiership, none of the senior players will, get rid of them now whilst they still have value. (this excludes Neita of course)

I've got a feeling that they might save Bruce for Trade next year, just a gut feeling.

I'd like to see him gone for suitable trade.

Johnstone for Jolly= no trade

Johnsonte+miller For Jolly+pick11 = AN AWESOME TRADE!

aha. bailey made his decision on johnstone a long time ago because one of the questions in his job interview was whether he would trade or keep TJ. i recon TJ should stay but if we get jolly and pick 11 and finally get rid of miller, we are really on to something

I've got a feeling they want Bruce to get back to his best form, and carving up the opposition teams with elite fitness, and ability to go forward and kick goals!

When he is on song, Bruce is a star!!!!!

I will back Bailey 100%

if he trades someone, I will support his decision

If he keeps the list together, I will support that

Everyone will become different and better under Bailey

We desperately need to trade for a good pick. We have to many good players and not enough guns. TJ for pick 11 looks ok. If we have to throw in something extra.

We have to fit Wheels, Bartram, Rivers , maybe Pettard back in . Plus keep Newton, Dunn, Bate etc in.

I say get early picks and use them well.

Let the Maggs trade themselves out of this draft. I would give the Maggs our pick 4 for Ben Reid if they want Judd.

Will Ben Reid be better than who is potentially available in this draft though - that's the $64 question. I think it's immaterial anyway. I think West Coast will tell Judd they won't trade with Collingwood and he'll have to make do with the tankers.

Personally don't want Jolly back. He left because he wanted to be a No.1 ruckman and now that he isn't No.1 ruckman at the swans he wants to be No.1 ruckman for Melbourne after Whites gone. So a big NO from me over that deal.

Any news on Meesan though? I dont know much about him but he sounds alright...thoughts?

He was a crucial member of the two premiership sides of 1992 and 1994 playing as a wingman who with Dean Kemp and Peter Matera formeed a damaging centreline. He was the type of player who could turn a game off his own boot with a flash of brilliance but equally would put his body on the line when it mattered.

This is what a star does, ("would put his body on the line")

Trapper is worth way more than Jolly! If Jolly is coming back home, then Jamar and PJ may be playing elsewhere next year.

Big risk trading trapper- when he is hot he is our best!

That is one of the best posts I have seen form you for ages Y_M and I agree with it completely........

I am not so sure there will be a hell of a lot of trading done this year, maybe one, or two at the very outside, for this very reason and we can only hope that the team that we have seen run out for the last umpteen years, will be refashioned and reprogrammed into what we want them to be.

Bailey has given good tough signs of change already and hopefully his treatment of his team will be no exception.

And frankly I am really looking forward to seeing what he may be able to do with a few of our chronic under performers (some if not most of whom will still be playing whether people here like it or not). That is not to say that I don't want us to go after someone who will improve our list, but whether there are changes or not within the list it is wise to remember that there is a massive change at the helm and hopefully the attitude as a result, and that is a great place to start.

Johnstone for a player that knows what it takes to win a premiership and actually cares that he is playing football is a fare trade if you ask me. Johnstone has, and always will be, an uninterested waste of talent. By all means, he could have been just as good, if not better than Judd. Instead he is a gambler, alcoholic, spoiled brat that earns too much and has never reached his full potential, albeit in flashes. Stuff him.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
