  • 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.

Jude Bolton on the table

exactly diablo...wake up mate

What do you mean? He's as old as TJ and probably has a similar amount of footy left... what do we get out of that swap that will actually help us build for our future?

Seriously, if you think Jude Bolton is the answer to any problem that we have you are delusional. So we trade a 27 year old flawed genius for a 27 year old workhorse. Swings and roundabouts. He'll give us 3 years of good service and then what? TJ could go along way towards getting us another decent 1st round pick, and with that we can pick up somebody who is likely to be a big part of our future. Jude Bolton would be a bandaid solution.

TJ and Pick 21

4

Bolton and pick 11

I can dream :)

Bolton- Consistent hard player

TJ-Inconsistent and flashy

Same age

Why not?

TJ + Miller + 21 to Sydney for Bolton + 11 is a tad more realistic and I would do it without too much hesitation. If Bolton comes packaged with pick 11 I will take him, but by himself I do not think he is worth a player who we could conceivably bag a decent pick for, because if we think about it the pick is worth more to us.

Reported on Channel 7 news that Sydney rejected our offer of a straight swap of TJ for Bolton.

Well. Time for me to eat humble pie. Evidently CAC is interested. I stand by my trade above or they can get fluffed.

I wouldnt trade johnstone for a pick. Despite the fact that we may be rebuilding, getting a young up-and-comer that we have to work hard on will not help us. For the quality of Johnstone we should be looking for a player who is an established player in the afl. From then on, it is up to the club to dedcide who to go after. preferably not a pick.

We are not going to challenge next year. I expect that we'll be back in the 8 with the list we have, but '08 will be a 'progress' year for us. '09 is a possibility, but '10 is more likely. Any draft pick we take this year will have 2-3 years into him by that stage, and should be becoming a productive member of the team, especially if he is a 1st round pick.

I know Jude Bolton has plenty of a appeal. Hell, he is about the only Sydney player I've legitimately liked from the past 5 years. But we need to realise that our turn is 2-3 years away, and Bolton will be on his last legs by then, particularly as he is an in-and-under type.

If Sydney will not do a TJ for Bolton swap, ie. if they want a pick with him or something, then it is too much to give, in my opinion.

Sydney still have a realistic shot at top 4 if they can pick up a few key players. Would be wise for them to keep bolton AND try to go after a travis type.

Given CAC and Baileys statements, it would be suprising for a 28 year old to make the move to the dees.

I think bolton is great, but i just cant see it happening.

We WOULD be hindering our chances of snaring youngsters when you consider that TJ could possibly pick us up a first round pick from a side who are on the brink of a flag challenge. That is my only problem with Bolton.

If it's 1:30pm on Friday, and there is nobody willing to part with an early pick for TJ, I WOULD do a straight swap, but it seems Sydney are not interested in that.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
