    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.

Just saw the below on the AFL site.

4. Melbourne got it right on Dom Tyson

The Demons' decision to trade their No.2 draft pick to acquire Tyson from the Giants represented a calculated risk, but it was clearly the right call. The 21-year-old midfield gun has taken his game to new heights this season, and against Port Adelaide on Sunday produced the best game of his 29-match career. Collecting an equal career-high 32 possessions and booting two goals, he was clearly best on ground, adding seven tackles to his stats tally. – Harry Thring

How long do you think Tyson will need to wait before the idiots acknowledge they were WRONG!!!!!

Barret I am looking at you

Amazing the amount of Journo's that say " wait and see what Kelly does"

I would say Salem alone has been as impressive as Kelly, and Tyson looks a legitimate star in the making

even if Kelly does indeed win a brownlow medal I think we will still win this deal

It's just not practical.

If Damian Barrett started apologising each time he was shown up as a clueless self-important git, he wouldn't have any time left to write his steady stream of new, completely off-the-mark, articles. His career would be over!

Ahhhhh, yes please.

Where our list was, even if Kelly becomes a star (A+), then getting 2 elites (A minutes) is probably a win everywhere.

We didn't have depth, we didn't have decent players across the park. A good win.

Roos is yet to stuff up at the trade table? At the very least, his decision making with trading is 2nd to none.

After he retires from coaching; you'd pay him a couple of hundred grand as a recycled player consultant and doing a few other little gigs around the club I reckon.

It would be nice but it won't happens, such the arrogance of such "journalists" as Barrett.

They will always justify their original stance.

I wonder if Barrett has seen him play yet?? :-))

The classic line from the journos is "at the time I was justified......." at the end of the day we know we've got a win here. Salem's got a huge upside and Tyson could be anything.

So if im getting this right,they are apologising because of the form so far of Tyson?

And next year if Tyson is struggling for a kick and Kelly is brownlow favourite?

Its BS,dont worry about it.

What they're obviously failing to account for, is the idea that trading can be a win-win for both clubs involved. Narrow-sighted journalists? Never. ;)

Serious? Sure Salem has shown little glimpse but hasn't exactly put on a performance like Kelly has.

Kelly will be a star.

Tyson will be a legend.

Two is always more than one. If I were in charge of list management, I'd pick up two uproven players for 1 unproven player 99 times out of a hundred. It's just good odds.

Pick 20 can hardly be considered a speculative pick.

Tyson will be a very good player, hopefully a star, but people seem to think it was pick 2 for Tyson and pick 9. We gave pick 20 as well so it was Kelly and any of the blokes drafted in the 20s for Tyson and Salem.

Crouch, Zach Merrett, Hartung, Lewis Taylor - all will be 150+ gamers and could have been ours with that pick 20.

It was a good trade for Melbourne but I'm sure after a few pre-seasons under Kelly's belt it won't prove to be the highway robbery that some people seem to think we've pulled off.

If kelly doesn't play 200-250 games and win a brownlow then we win the trade.

This puts more pressure on kelly along with the likes of GWS underperformers like $cully to perform up to expectations, not the other way round

they have both shown glimpses of class, i felt Salems game against Port was as good as anything Kelly has produced, Salem has also spent a lot of time up forward so he hasn't been able to rack up the numbers Kelly has at times

Tyson will play 250 games and is every chance to win a Brownlow

We will win this trade without question, and win it easily

I saw Josh Kelly play against the crows and he had 21 disposals 2 goals and 5 tackles.

Im sure Salem will be a quality player.

Kelly is impressive there is no doubt, certainly a 200 gamer

I have heard a lot of people who rated Salem as the second best midfield prospect behind Kelly so I reckon we could win this deal in a big way

He has shown moments of pure class - two I recall at Alice Springs especially. They were things that no ordinary player could possibly do.

Give him another preseason and some good players around....then watch out.

    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
