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.

Why does that matter? You don't think opposition teams would sit another player in front of Boyd? Have you even seen him play?

Yeah, and I think he has it easy because of his size and the lack of decent opposition.

I'm not saying he'll be a bad player, but I think he's overhyped.

Not top 5 for mine.

Plus we don't need him, with our abundance of talls.

This will be an interesting draft as both GWS and us don't need Boyd so he may slide to the Bulldogs.

I'd love to take Matt Scharenberg in case Chip leaves next year,a ready made perfect replacement and is a better kick that Chip.

I hope we get Sheed,he's ready made and much bigger bodied than Kelly and Aish and his kicking is elite on both sides and goes in hard,head first.

That's fair enough, but you can only compete against who your opponent is. Whether that be Steve silvagni or a light on 17yo. Not having a crack at jack watts, but the year he won the larke medal he was opposed to defenders like Phil Davis, Jackson trengrove etc, and beat them quite comfortably. I think the players who show courage, desire and timing (on top of skill and talent) are the ones who go on to successful careers, and Boyd shows all of that and more.

I think scharenberg will be a tall midfielder like Kennedy, fyfe etc more than a defender. He has skill and agility, with solid, quick hands. I hope he continues his improvement and finds himself in red and blue next year. Agree with sheed, possibly the best pure midfielder in the champs!

I'll watch Vic Country V WA tomorrow.

Recruiters watch dozens of games, interview coaches, family, etc, but I must say I love Kelly. He obviously needs to develop, but along with Aish he was clearly a class above in the second game. Kelly has sticky hands - he just doesn't fumble, moves beautifully, has great decision making, sticks his tackles for a slender guy and reminds me a little of Robbie.

Scharenberg looks dependable, etc, but no wow factor. I didn't see a top 3 pick, but I haven't seen enough. Billings will be a player, but he's not top 5 for mine. Dunstan is a rich man's Stephen Powell. Built like brick outhouse. Terrific left foot kick and will be A grade. I don't see a superstar, but he's plug and play next year. Dumont didn't do much, but has obvious class. Bontempelli didn't have a great game and made a few mistakes, but at his height and clear talent has terrific upside.

Kelly will take a while, but easily had the most natural talent.

Was a very ordinary game.

It's rare to get a talent like O'Meara in a draft. O'Meara is the best young mid I've seen come through the draft system. He's like Cotchin on steroids.

There won't be an O'Meara in this draft - imo.

Where does Sheed sit in your calculations, Ben? I may have missed it on one of the earlier pages.

How do you factor Kelly's elite endurance at underage level into how he will perform at senior level? Obviously we need top flight runners but you have to factor in how much his advantage over his fellow juniors will disappear when he gets up to AFL level.

Is there a concern that as he puts on weight he'll lose some of the endurance advantage anyway? I'm concerned he ends up another Scully or Kane Lucas who can run all day and dominate under 18's but then he looses that at AFL level.

I'd like to see guys who can play hard contested footy because that's the footy that stands up in September. By no means does that mean I want the solid kids but I'd rather a guy who has to work on some fitness but has the natural ball winning and in tight footy down pat.

Looks like I have plenty of viewing to catch up on with the Foxtel IQ. Not only that but it seems that, based on the results, midfielders will be in plentiful supply

Where does Sheed sit in your calculations, Ben? I may have missed it on one of the earlier pages.

Haven't seen him.

I thought my days of being interested in the draft would be long gone by now, but alas I find myself taping the championships. I'll watch Vic Country v WA some time today and, of course, one viewing of a player means I'm not qualified to have an opinion. Years ago I'd try and watch all the championship matches in Victoria live and see the odd TAC game, but I no longer have the time, or inclination.

There may be someone as good as O'Meara in this draft, but I'd be astonished if there is. As I've already said, he's easily the best young mid I've seen come into the game. Judd would be the closest, but at the same age he's got him covered, imo, so the thought there'd be someone else as good in such a short time would be surprising.

But I look forward to seeing Sheed. Even one game on TV gives you some idea of how good someone may be.

My comments had nothing to do with Kelly's elite endurance. In fact, I didn't refer to it. It was just his class, reading of the play and in particular his hands, the guy doesn't fumble. Watch the game again, notice how many people fumble and study Kelly. He just moves with balance like a thoroughbred. Scully was a running machine, but I doubt anyone ever referred to his "class".

I even noticed at times, that although the spirit of the U/18 champs dictates that there is no tagging, Kelly received some treatment off the ball.

There was a concerted effort by SA to impede his run at the ball and ability to get to contests at times, especially around stoppages.

Just interesting to note, since I didn't see much of this in the other games for other players.

Draft Watch: See the predicted top 10 for this year's draft before the national championships conclude

SAM LANDSBERGERS EARLY TIPS FOR THIS YEARS TOP 10

1. TOM BOYD (Vic Metro/Eastern Ranges, 199cm, 102kg)

The gorilla power forward who has clubs licking their lips. A dominant spearhead set to return from ankle damage late in the TAC Cup season.

2. MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia, 190cm, 89kg)

The ultimate prototype of an AFL player. Great size, elite kick, can play in just about any position - much like Brendon Goddard - and reads the play exceptionally well.

3. JOSH KELLY (Vic Metro/Sandringham Dragons, 182cm, 73kg)

Endurance machine with a pin-point left boot complemented by smarts on his opposite side. Narrowly overlooked in last years mini-draft.

4. JAMES AISH (South Australia, 183cm, 74kg)

All-Australian last year and the youngest ever SANFL premiership player. Gets tagged each week and resembles Scott Pendlebury. Still getting back to his best after a long layoff with shoulder surgery.

5. JACK BILLINGS (Vic Metro/Oakleigh Chargers, 183cm, 78kg)

Another All-Australian from last year, his goal sense and overhead marking make him a devastating half-forward.

6. LUKE MCDONALD (Vic Metro/Werribee VFL, 188cm, 90kg) (Kangaroos father-son)

A rebounding half-back whos biggest weapon is his powerful left foot. Will cost the Roos their first pick.

7. DOMINIC SHEED (Western Australia, 182cm, 82kg)

The player of the carnival until breaking his collarbone last Friday. The best inside midfielder who can go outside and boot crucial goals. Eagles would love this Simon Black type.

8. LEWIS TAYLOR (Vic Country/Geelong Falcons, 173cm, 73kg)

Small, but as creative as they come. Takes opponents on and backs his speed and crafty sidestep, ala Brent Harvey.

9. BEN LENNON (Vic Metro/Northern Knights, 187cm, 79kg)

Hard-working flanker with great hands and an excellent finisher, much like Bob Murphy. Boasts plenty of tricks.

10. KADE KOLODJASHNIJ (Tasmania, 188cm, 76kg)

Soaring up the rankings as a ball magnet who can control matches between the arcs. Good decision-maker suited to the modern game.

* West Australians Jack Martin (Gold Coast) and Jesse Hogan (Melbourne) graduated to AFL clubs last year through the mini-draft

OTHER NAMES TO KEEP AN EYE ON TODAY

Hugh Goddard (Vic Country) - Brendon's cousin. Not eligible until next year.

Marcus Bontempelli (Vic Metro) - Nick Dal Santo's cousin - and it shows.

Darcy Gardiner (Vic Country) - Announced himself shutting down Jesse Hogan on the national stage last year. Competitive beast expected to return today. Should go early in the draft.

Zach Merrett (Vic Country) - Jackson's brother. Boasts a lovely kick.

Jonathan Marsh (WA) - Freakishly athletic forward. Right in the top 10 mix.

Mitch Harvey (SA) - Star AFL scout Matty Rendell's nephew. Tall forward with nice agility and clean hands.

Darcy Hourigan (SA) - A beast who dominated against Metro last week. Looms as the focal point in attack today.

Josh Scott (Vic Country) - A late developing 19-year-old from Lakes Entrance who has 46 TAC Cup goals this season. Might not play against Metro.

Cam McCarthy (WA) - Goaled on the siren to beat Vic Country in Geelong last Friday. The last player to do that was Buddy Franklin nine years ago.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
