Relton Roberts

Straight Sets Simon
in Melbourne Demons

Cut down in his prime but from all reports eager to get back into the AFL after being poorly developed by Richmond, Relton Roberts is a tackling machine who is unique in that he can kick the ball too.

His highlights from only a handful of years ago show how exciting he could be. He along with Lumumba or Salem on the half back would terrorise opposition players for many years to come.

I'm not sure of his current contract status, but I would think that $700,000 over three years to start things off could be enough to lure him back to Melbourne. We of course would need to use our first round draft pick on him as it is likely that other clubs are showing a keen interest in this once in a lifetime talent.

We already know he looks good in the red and blue so let's make it happen!

    Serious dedicated hard nut footballers who will run through brick walls and set a strong team culture in the Viney & Brayshaw mould

    That is what we want

    Jurrah was a freak but for all our howling down of Toumpas v Wines/Stringer & Watts v Natanui, Jurrah cost us Rockliff

    He'll be 30 years old by next season but with a bit of conditioning and a few weeks pre season I'd say he'll come good.

    It's a big old yes from me.

    I take it that he has enough 'X' factor for you, Ethan?

    If anything he has too much.

    I remember the stories about him smashing burgers and pies before games for Richmond.

    They were horrible, fabricated and downright unfair lies. I believe Relton deserves a second chance.

    Pedigree is good.

    How long did you spend typing that up, CB ??

    Hopelessly unfunny. Get a life.

    Lighten up. I thought it very humurous. Poking a bit of fun at posters who start threads at the mere mention of a player being named in the media regardless of their current situation, contract status or footy ability.

    If we swap our round 1 and round 3 draft picks to Carlton for Ciaran Sheehan & Ciaran Byrne then Carlton trade pick one and their Priority pick to Sydney for Buddy Franklin and Sydney trade pick 2 and Aliir Aliir to Collingwood for their 3rd round pick and Jarrod Witts to Essendon for Melksham and their 2nd round pick then, ..... damn I forgot where I was going with that.

    Edit:- That's right and then we could get Relton Roberts in a swap for a 1976 Cortina a packet of Winfield Blue and two Ciaran's.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
