    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 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.

We need this guy to be a 200 game player for us. Still our midfield will be one of the youngest in the AFL but hopefully an exciting season awaits us, with some success. Tyson and Hogan should provide something for us next year.

This has been quite remarkable recruiting. The best I can remember from the MFC. We will have a very competitive side next year.

So, not old enough to remember Jim Cardwell's amazing (solo, just him and a cheque book, no draft, no spotters, no bs) recruiting 1953-5 then ? (I don't either but vaguely remember enjoying the results over the next decade) Edited by monoccular

I understand your hesitant optimism completely, but at least this time or young unproven midfield contains highly rated potential kids (Tyson, Viney, Toumpas, pick 9), a couple of developing kids with who have shown a bit (Michie, M Jones and some of our existing younger inexperienced players), some players with 3+ years experience who should be easy to take a step up under Roos/Stone (Trengove, Grimes, Watts) and a senior midfield leader (Jones).

If we can snare Vince or Cross and they can play the rule of number 2 and 3 mids for a year or two, we suddenly have a core that may come together.

None of those players have question marks for the wrong reasons. They might not have developed as we'd have liked bit they aren't the unfulfilled potential, poorly behaved or NQR group we've had in the last decade. Yet.

Time will tell. Stone for Royal may be the most important change we've made all off season.

Pretty sure we said all the same things after drafting Scully, Trengove, Gysberts with Blease, Strauss & Grimes. Not saying I'm unhappy with our trades but there's a lot of water to go under the bridge before I start feeling full-blown optimism.

Seen very little of Sheed he is hard at it and a good player who will play from Round 1 next year. Hard to judge the effect he will have at the next level, stood out in the colts with his ball winning ability and I wanted to have a real good look at him after the championships but with the broken collarbone and already having the knowledge he would go first round Subiaco put him in cotton wool for the season as they had no chance of making finals.

Stevie Armstrong is his coach at Subiaco Colts. On what Iittle I saw of Sheed I would describe him as almost a carbon copy of Matt Priddis, only he has a better kick. Speed could be a question mark but has excellent hands and is better around goal than Priddis

Thanks 'Pennant', that collar bone has caused some issue's for those of us that like to keep a bit of an eye on who's who in the draft but I'm sure the club's will have him well pegged by now. Funny how WC are saying they need more pace around the mids but Sheed is seen as their no.1 target. Maybe he is, maybe he's not.

He is way better than anyone from this draft, including Boyd.

From what little I've seen of Tyson, I'd agree.

Just the way he moves in and out of traffic, he is exactly what we need.

I chatted to a mate who thought Tyson was more impressive as a junior - than anyone this year.

Dom Tyson appears to be a steal for us.

Your missing the point, Tyson fits our needs more so than than any player in the top end of the draft. It has nothing to do with being better.

exactly, it's all about needs.

we desperately need an extractor. those at the pointy end of the 2013 draft aren't that.

dom tyson is.

Crouch is an extractor, maybe we knew he'd still be there at 9 and added Tyson as a bonus.

Judging from Tysons highlight reel, he is more impressive than anyone in this draft.

I would not be surprised to see them take Acres, Beau Waters is shot and Acres could immediately slot in as HBF who can rotate through the middle, he is a good user of the football and sets up play across half back. West Perth colts used to find the ball and always look for Acres who would set up their plays. This was one of the main reasons he is so highly rated and has been well regarded for many years coming through the junior ranks, regularly getting high possessions and maintaining a presence. Will not find it as easy to accumulate at AFL level but the kid can run & carry is not shy at demanding the footy or going in where it hurts if needed. Disposal is also very good.

IMO he is a better player than Sheed but that is to say they are both good but Acres has more tools and they should with all luck forge long careers. Meth Coast always keep their cards close to their chest so whilst Sheed has been training with them my mail is no promises have been made and they have stated they will take who they feel is best available.

We will all find out in another 6 weeks

Along with the use of the Scully compo this deal will begin to remedy some of the errors of the past.

As long as this guy stays on the park.

Dom: definitely playing most of the games on the MCG is a great prospect.

So, should he have gone for Cillingwood then ? :-(

    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
