Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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 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.

He has been fantastic.    If he was on an opposing club we would be salivating over him and wanting to get him over to the Dees.

He does a lot of things so well, but you cant put a price on that aerial/marking ability + courage.

A top 5 talent at pick 31,  thanks Jason Taylor.

Massive props to have him ahead of Cerra who has future star written all over him. Yet not unreasonable.

Spargo would be pick 11.

JT is smashing this gig atm.

I heard a rumour that Spargo was touted a top 5 pick by some before something happened? Unsure what but when he bulks up and builds a tank he’s going to be a ripper

He has a touch of Brent Harvey about him (CS that is)

 

The only similarity to Harvey is his size...Harvey was explosive, Spargo isn't.

The jury is still out for me with Spargo, he's only a first year player. I get that.

...but does he have enough tricks?  At his size, he needs them.

My big concern at the moment is he is getting brushed aside way too easily, he really needs to work on his strength. That at least can be worked on.

He has the footy IQ, so that's a big plus.

Will he go on or will he be another JKH?

Time will tell.

Don’t forget he’s only 18

That was in his under 16 year, I think he then got an injury (shoulder I think) and missed a far bit of footy in his draft year.

True about his pace but I would suggest that his attitude is similar.  He obviously has a bit of the [censored] about him and I think that is where the similarity lies.  As my wife would say he is a big dog in a little dog's body

Still going through it. Fritsch at times looks like he's come straight from a Harry Potter film. Wait til he gets thicker.

Bit silly to have Fritsch ahead of Cerra, Rayner, Naughton and Brayshaw. They should be 4-7 on this list. Fritsch a good candidate to be number 8 though.

He's shown more than most of those names. I don't think they adjust it for age/maturity though. Of course guys who are 21 are going to make more of an impact in their first 12 games than 18 year olds. I think the point is some people look at production and ignore potential, which is what's happening here.

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun

The set up, is being put up, for an 11.45am post review training session.   32 in the full session. Rehab: Spargo (runners and singlet), Turner, BBB, and Verrall (looks to be a test). Hunter doing his own program. Bowser in the arm sling. May looks fine. No McAdam.  As they gathered, they gave Melky a round of applause, he
