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.

Will be worth nothing than a fourth round so why the hell not. 

4th round? I don’t think so.

He is worth a lot more than that. More like early 2nd round I would think.

Just 12 months after attempting to break his contract but failing to find a suitor, Amon will spend the next week mulling over interest from clubs including Melbourne and St Kilda.

AFL.com.au understands the Power have tabled a three-year offer to Amon with the belief he could still remain at Alberton.

It comes after a career-best season in which the 24-year-old played 17 matches and forged his place in the Power's best line-up. 

The Demons have spoken openly about chasing outside ball users in the mould of Amon, while the Saints have been active in approaching talent from elsewhere.

I have kept a close eye on him the past few weeks and he has surprisingly been playing very well. Neat left foot who wpuld add speed and outside run.

Absolutely would be happy with this. The type that would thrive on an open space on the G

Must admit i dont know a lot about Karl. Is he outside, does he use it well and is he quick? because if he aint all of those 3 then forget about it.

I would class him as a young, improving winger. Couple of injury bumps along the way so has been a 'late' bloomer IMO. Good athlete, sold kick. The key word in regards to us that you'll hear about him is 'competitor'.

Thanks @dazzledavey36 & @Lord Nev for sharing your observations.

Im keen for the club to inject some young run and carry. I wonder if the Burgess and Richo additions would make guys like Amon consider us now?

Amon and Langdon would be good starts at improving on 2019

no...rediculous.

We already have Baker, Dunkley, JKH, Stretch, Brayshaw, Hunt, Jordan, Kolodjashnij, Sparrow, C Wagner

we don't need Amon, Langdon or Hill.....we just need to administer a game plan where these players are utilized effectively.

K Amon : averaging 19 disposals @ 75% efficiency & 4 turnovers per game & .5 goals per game.

What?????? 8 out of 10 you have listed are fringe players at best.

This should say the Saints have been active chasing anyone.

Brayshaw can't or won't play wing, Jordon is a great prospect but I wouldn't back in any of the others you've named.

Baker can't find the pill, Dunkley still a bit early to tell without a preseason, JKH depth at best, Stretch VFL level/depth, Hunt time to move on, Kolo may not ever get on the park, Sparrow more likely to make it as Jetta's replacement if he is to make it at all, Wagner C to slow in his decisions and reactions again VLF/depth...

Langdon is a must get along with at lest one small forward and then who ever we pick up in the draft.

If Brayshaw moves on then it opens up more opportunities to improve the list balance...

I know the family so I keep an eye on Karl. I dont think he is worth more than a late 2nd rounder. He is 24 now and plays well when the team is going strong. he is fast though and his last couple of weeks have been good, one fantastic goal.

Stick him on one wing and Langdon on the other, put Young on a HBF and our run and kicking have all improved.

disagree.....but if you think Karl Amon is the answer to the demons outside run, accountability & efficiency issues, then the Dees have major problems coming in 2020. The problem is not with the list, the problem is with the game plan & game style. Sure, some of those players are fringe players, no denying that, however, some of those fringe players were out performing some of our more elite 'named' senior players who had 'checked out' 3 weeks ago.

Thats a very high price for someone who i dont believe would be top 22.

I am not sure what games you watch but none of those players out performed anyone. 

You mentioned Langdon in your post and he is a massive upgrade on all those players besides Brayshaw. 

The game needs tweaking but our issue is the majority of our players are ball getters and therefore when we do get they have no runners to give it to.

For anyone unaware of the year that Amon has had as an outside mid and his importance to Port, read this:

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/re-signing-karl-amon.1220100/page-18

Would be a great get. Suits our needs nicely

Agreed. Great kick. Wins the footy. Happy to make a 3 year offer.

Would be 6th in our list for average metres gained in 2019.  Has pace and a 74.3% DE and is rated as elite for Goal Assists.  I think he'd get a game.

    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
