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.

Missed the first half today but have taped it so can so can only go on what I've seen to date.

The main one has to be Jack Fitzpatrick. Every week I see him he seems to show something new that I haven't seen before. Today, it was his ability in a tight situation to kick the ball around his body.

We've seen the surprising ability to accelerate from a contest before (most notably down at Kardinia Park earlier) but he did it again today beautifully in that third quarter. I actually clapped loudly on my couch when he did that burning opponents off. 

Would love to see him get a game next week on the expanses of Subiaco. I, have been wanting to see him in the side for the last 10 weeks but apart from that 1 in 1 out earlier he hasn't been given a chance. 

Some coach's philosophy is to play guys before they are ready

and persist with them, believing every game they play early is worth ten in experience (or something similar) whereas it seems Neeld & co are believers in getting good consistency in the VFL and really earning  your spot

(unless you 're a Jetta).

As for the others, Sheahan had a very good last quarter pushing up high off the backline. Moloney tried to bullock and influence the contest without a lot of success, and Magner also doing similar but his disposal was appalling.

Of the Casey listed, it was fantastic to see Kyle Matthews out there influencing the forward line. His courageousness and x-factor will be a real plus for the finals. David Collins would have to be just about the most improved player down at Casey this year contributed well again. Smith took a number of impressively strong marks yet again. I feel he will be a chance to be drafted by someone later this year. Bit surprised Matt Fieldsend was omitted as he is a very good player at this level.

Bring on the finals!

Casey's 'Rolls Royce' mid-field was pretty ordinary today. Jamar, Gysberts, Moloney, Magner and Bate should have creamed it in the middle but sadly were jst OK.

If they can't excel at this level it explains a lot....

Sydney push the button mate. I feel sorry for the girls at reception right now at Rippers, they will be copping it bad.

Fitz was very impressive today. I've been wanting to see him get another game for a while now. Surely he's done enough to earn a spot playing as FF given how depleted our forward stocks are?

The commentators were talking the Gys up quite a lot today. He was pretty decent in some horrible conditions and got a couple of goals.

I also think Bate may have done enough to earn another contract. His mark on Clark was special (and Clark flinching was golden).

Cook in the better players, but no goals!! Was he trying a different role ie defender?? Late in the peace to start that I would have thought. Any info KC or others?

Fitzpatrick looks very raw - but with a lot of talent.

I think he'll get better each year.

I don't think he is up to AFL atm.

Due to Geelong and Port Melbourne getting beaten today the Scorpions finish a game clear on top. Well done Scorps!!! Bring on the VFL finals!!!

Jeez poor form from ABC, if your televising a sporting event like VFL surely your basic obligation is to show the end of the bloody game!

Well done the scorpions for finishing on top, I hope we don't pull our players out for surgery and leave then high and dry.

Good to hear Fitzy having a good day, good chance to get a game next week with Green finishing tomorrow.

I liked Fitzpatrick's game. As the commentators mentioned, not a day for someone his size. Then again, most his size don't move like he does. 

Would probably get a gig next week, but would probably rather play finals for Casey?

Also like Gysberts' game. He cops a whack around here because most are fed up with string bean nice boys, he has more talent than the beans around him, needs size and stamina obviously, I hold some hope.

Sheehan was good. 

Davis was ok.

Great Godfrey impression today by Magner. Yuck!

Great Godfrey impression today be Magner. Yuck.

When push comes to shove, that's the kind of footballer Magner is really. Like Godfrey - tough, works hard, face of an unloved trailer (I think that might've been an H-ism from many years ago), plenty of G&D, but not a top level footballer.

    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
