Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

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.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
