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.


Top 10 players from other clubs to help our list

Complete hypothetical. If you could have a player from any team to join our list, who would you choose? You can either go all out for the flag or bring in youngsters to help sure up the future. Up to you!

I've done a Top 10

1. A. Naughton
2. S. Walsh
3. B.King (I think he's better than Max)
4. C.Curnow
5. Bailey Smith
6. Zac Bailey
7. Shai Bolton
8. Horne-Francis
9. Sam Taylor
10. Isaac Heeney

I've gone for a slight preference for Key Forwards up top because that's where we lack the most depth. Also, life after Ben Brown.  I've also valued younger players as they are more valuable to a list as they have more seasons in them.

I like both of these lists so far.

Neither of the King brothers work hard enough yet, but I would love Ben King and I still think he could be gettable in the near term.

I know it's not really the point of the thread to go realistic, but planning a future post McDonald and Brown is important, particularly to keep our window open. So King would be at the top of my list.

Dream scenario is Walsh, but equally, having Tom Green partner Oliver and Petracca is an incredible prospect.

Brayshaw. Pundits keep saying Angus might go to Freo to play with his brother. What about the opposite?

Would Freo offer Andrew Brayshaw for Luke Jackson?

Not saying we should take it, just saying.

I am sure they would try to offer AB for LJ but I am also sure that that would not get the deal done.

Maybe it's just me but would much rather see ....

A realistic chance of getting said player from other club vs a whole lot of player 'wish lists'

Could we also add to this mature age (or other top end young talent!??) opportunities that some might be aware of on here that are sitting on secondary lists in the VFL, WAFL, SANFL etc right now and worth considering even as a mid season prospect if that's an option?

It’s an interesting one as longer term we need key forwards due to the age of whose on our list.

In the short term (2022/23) I’d still be keen on a lockdown defender for a Charlie Cameron/Heeney/Weightman type. Nev and Hibbo used to be great, and I’ve been super impressed with Hunt. It’s purely that the ground ball in defence is almost our only slight weakness.

Is 'Once in a Generation' becoming the new 'Champion'???

Seems to get thrown around a lot.

I hear you but can you name a similar style player in the last 10/15 years? Goodes maybe?

 

there aren't too many

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
