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.

As a side note - I live 5 minutes from the Oakleigh Chargers ground and regularly walk my direwolves around the ground as they train. Watching the skills on display from players so young is eye opening.

On a different side note - I walked past the ground 2 weeks ago on a Saturday and there was a scratch match between Vic Metro squad - there were around 200 people watching - I was blown away by the interest as I picked out at least 8 talent scouts and they were obvious to me. I wonder how many others there were ( including managers looking for new clients) that weren't so obvious . It was just a training scratch match.

have watched 2 mins of the vic m vs wa game.

Brayshaw has hit a 40m lace out pass on his left from a center clearance, snapped a goal, then got a free at the centerbounce.

Didnt like what i saw from pickett, was standing side by side with brayshaw at about the 50m arc with a stoppage 20 out from goal, brayshaw ran to get the handpass and kicked the goal, pickett let brayshaw get goal side, trailed him and chased and laid a late tackle. We dont need that type of player, even if its a lapse, its the lapses that cost you in the end. hopefully there is footage of it in brayshaws highlights, really didnt like it from a potential top 10 pick.

Brayshaw, Petracca and Ahern all looked like they will become good AFL midfielders.

Stretch has started pretty well for SA, touted as a second round father son by Kevin Sheehan, who also proclaimed that as a win for MFC.

He also stated he will be a 200 game player for whoever drafts him.

stretch has been pretty solid for a very, very impressive south australian side.

currently holding vic country goalless to halftime.

wow.

Thats unusual in these type of comps where the ball tends to flow a bit

"Sandringham Dragons midfielder Angus Brayshaw stamped his authority on the match with 23 touches (eight contested), five clearances, six inside-50s and one goal, as well as amassing a staggering 690 metres gained."

please and thankyou

I was on the petracca train but I have changed trains at Richmond and now boarded Brayshaw express

I haven't watched today's games yet but obviously, we could have access to both players if James Frawley abandons ship and the AFL give us the pick immediately after our first selection.

Alternatively, we could do a trade a la the Tyson/Pick 9 trade of last year in true spirit of progress style.

From what I watched in Vic Metro v WA I was suitably unimpressed in the game.

WA looked hopeless. I barely saw one piece of play from them that made me excited about anyone.

Metro have some prospects but they weren't jumping out at me. Peter Wright is obviously huge but didn't get much play forward or even around the ground as a ruck, he didn't need to. Brayshaw looks solid but I wasn't convinced he was top 5 material at all. Average height, nothing special inside or out. That's probably his strength in that he's consistent and doesn't have a lot of negatives in his game, but I didn't see much x factor. Petracca does have some of that x factor but I'm not sure I saw enough of it. I'd like to see more of him against better opposition and think he's a bit more a project as a midfielder than people think after seeing highlights.

Metro had quite a few attacking running outside mid/flanker types who would make handy second or third round picks, they certainly have depth, it's just more sorting out which ones will develop at AFL level.

I got to see a bit of the first quarter having a knockoff drink at the pub. Saw a bit of Billy and looked good. Took a good grab and a goal at one stage

How was Billy Stretchs game?

Was named in the bests again. Second to be precise. Anyone thinking we will get him for anything lower than our second round pick is kidding themselves.

Christ, if he has a blinder in the final round, we may have to give up our first rounder for him (FFS Billy, ever heard of sliding under the radar :) )

Andrew Dunkley's (ex S Swans) son Josh, is a 1st year Gipps Power u/18 player who has played 2 1/2 years of sensational senior footy with the very strong Sale Magpies Football club. Was also named in the 2013 GFNL senior team of the year as a 15 y o. He has played some great footy for Vic Country this year. His father had some issues about when he was delisted by the Swans and would be more than happy for Josh to be drafted to a Vic team in 18 months time. They have a big farm machinery business in Yarram and are widely admired as a freakish sporting family here in Gippsland. Dunkley's daughter is an elite netballer and there is another 14 yo son who is also a very good prospect too. Very high potential here with Josh as he already has a man's physique.

    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
