    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.

This may have been discussed previously in other threads, however it has come up quite a bit in discussions with my friends of late. As we have seen, more so in 2010 than any other season, Rookie players making an impact.

It's a great way to supliment your list, and given that we know more about our list than we did before Round 1, what does everyone think would be the best area we could look to build for depth. Rookie players are also a bit of a 'free hit' in footy so the risk is really minimal but the room to benefit is large.

I'll start it off, Matt Little of Williamstown is a mature aged player who has been kicking bags in the VFL.

Should've picked up Sautner years before, but I guess we had Neita kicking goals...

Matt Little sounds interesting, how many has he kicked this season?

I would be surprised if he isnt playing at the Gold Coast next year. A player we should look at. 188cm. I think we would like someone around the 192-196cm mark and about 90-100kg.

Yeah, the Barlow/Pods thing is amazing, but let's not forget Aaron Edwards kicked 100 in the VFL and ended up at the Roos during a period that they made some finals, but he's just another player. You could argue a list-clogger.

agreed.

Not many VFL players become elite afl players, wouldn't be putting huge amount of faith in drafting the next Barlow.

Valenti was the best vfl player... he was only an average afl player.

worth a shot i guess though, later in the rookie draft

Stockdale from Casey, very good little tough running defender, I'd be very keen to get.

Maybe Myles Sewell from North Ballarat, he's a ball magnet but then again we're developing a pretty decent midfield as is.

Key position forwards and maybe a mature age ruckman who can play forward I'd say is also on the cards.

Our current stand in captain at Casey,James Wall IMO would be an outstanding addition to our list- most probably suited to the rookie list at this stage.His year has been extremely good.Could even become a premiership captain. Here's hoping.

Simpson from Casey. He's listed as 196cm, a very powerful unit, and he damn near killed someone in a tackle earlier in the season. I'm not sure why Geelong didn't want him, but he looks pretty decent.

He has my vote as well, been very keen on him when he elected to play for Casey, and not Frankston.

Big, strong and has some mongrel in him, just what we need, Have some defenders etc to have the 'wind'

put up them. Hasnt played much, at Casey, I'm thinking (hoping) MFC wanted to keep him 'low profile".

We could do worse,than rookie him for next year.

1st post!

Paul Richardson from Swan Districts in WA. defender who can play in the midfield.

AIS member in the same year as Griffen, Ray, Mclean, tambling etc and captain of the WA u18 team in 2003/2004. Overlooked in the 03 & 04 drafts, may have been due to being injured during both draft camps that he was ivited to. He hasnt played much WAFL footy latley due to work comitments but recently made his return and has recived good wraps by the WA footy press. He is 24.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    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
