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.


Kepler Bradley


Rampaging Demons

Recommended Posts

Was mentioned on 927 and adam white that the Demons were interested in Kepler.

Why would we be interested in another unskilled player....

He has struggled for a game at essendon, his skills are suspect as is his decision making...

the only thing that he would have going for him is youth!!

927 evidently don't know their [censored] from their earholes. They seem to think that Brocky is out of contract and unhappy, and set to walk in the Pre-season draft if he can't get a trade. Which is 100% unmitigated rubbish.

I sincerely doubt we are interested in Bradley. If we get him, however, once again I will be livid. Unless he comes bundled with pick 6, which is not going to happen, since Essendon have acknowledged that they are shot and need to rebuild.

could not believe that comment re Brock... Richmond too!! spare me!

adam white trying to be hutchy or chris jones! drinks from a saucer - cat!

All the flogs will be jumping to conclusions because hes been slapped on the wrist for his European escapades. Typical of those with nothing to report to sensationalise the situation. The fact is that Brock is loyal to a fault (likely what got him into trouble overseas) and he knows he is a lay-down misere to get the captaincy in a year or 2, if he can show any sort of form.

I posted something about Brocky nearly a month ago regarding Richmond.

Looks like that same info may have been linked to this journo. However, I doubt very much that this guy has heard anything, instead he is just going on what he saw in the paper today.

HAHA!

He's so unhappy that he's going to China next week with a group of young players on some sort of a leadership tour.

FFS, these journalists are getting worse and worse!

Please stop trading with Essendon, PLEASE!

You would have to look at Bradley

I think he was taken the pick after Brock in the 2003 draft

Her has talent, and he is a big boy. Could be aversatile ruckman, or hold down a key defensive position

I dont think he is as bad as everyone thinks

He would be worth a punt, Players can turn it around at new clubs take this year EX Freo Pollack to the Tigers and Rodan from the Tigers to Power, its just a question on who is the best option.

what does ash like of kepler? would we want him? would you want to keep?

i suspect he is worth more to you than what we would be willing to pay. but if you wanted to cut your losses cause u really didnt rate him it could be a chance...

I think he is more chance of making it as a defender than a forward. Perhaps may have gotten more opportunities in the backline for Essendon if they didn’t have both Fletcher and Michael. Although he did win the best and fairest for Bendigo Bombers playing mostly forward, topped their goalkicking

I’d give him a go. Would be happy to pick him up for a 3rd rounder.

Essendon asking for a first-round pick is laughable

I don't rate Kepler, never have.

One thing I would say, is that in his 49 senior games, he has probably played 4 or 5 really good AFL standard games. And all of them would have been as a forward.

Because we have had Lucas, Lloyd, Hird, even Courtney Johns as preferred key forwards, he has been forced to play key defensive positions, and he just ain't up to it.

As a junior, he played on a wing, and could out run opponents who were as big as him, or out mark opponents who were smaller than him. But in the AFL, he isn't quick enough or strong enough to do either.

Another club might get more out of him, but I'm probably the wrong bloke to ask cos I have never thought he would ever make it as an AFL player. Others might see more in him.

Ash, have the Bombers ever played him in the ruck? He played as a ruckman in the Teal Cup, though he was playing as a wingman for his WAFL club. And is he under contract?

Personally, if he's out of contract, i'd take him in the psd, and develop him as a ruckman. He's mobile, and has a better skill base than either Jamar or Johnson.

Can't remember him playing ruck for Essendon too much. He might be able to compete with a Josh Fraser or Jeff White type ruckman, but the bigger ruckmen would just push him aside.

Not sure of his contract status.

I watched a lot of the championships the year Bradley came through. In my opinion he was the best player in them. Ash is spot on he played as a wingman and was sensational but there just isn't a spot for 6 foot 6 wingmen in the AFL.

I would be interested but the price would be too high.

Ash... has he be played down back ( even in intraclub etc ) ?

NO! I've seen a fair bit of him play. He has extremely poor decision making skills and hasn't been able to compete forward or back at AFL level, I think we should stay away from him

i trust you. id much rather get a speedy forward to replace davey who wants to play in the midfield

    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
