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.

It was the curtain raiser that wasn't - well, almost.

The Casey Scorpions lined up against Richmond's VFL team at the old Punt Road Oval in a game starting at around 2.00pm which was once the traditional starting time of all games in the league. However, it was a pity that this game was played at that time and not an hour or so earlier in the because it was a perfect opportunity for Demon fans to witness their younger brigade before the MCG game. Instead most lined around the fence outside for a quick glimpse before heading off to the nearby MCG where the AFL game was due to begin at around half time in this game. 

Richmond has been struggling a little this year but at its spiritual home the team played like the Tigers of old in front of the ghosts of their old team. After Casey jumped out to an early three goal lead thanks to the superb efforts in front of goal by talls in Liam Hulett, Sam Weideman and Tim Smith, the home side came back strongly to dominate the second half of the opening term to trail by just seven points at the break. 

This set the pattern for most of the game. The Scorpions would start a quarter strongly, appear to take control with a few goals only to be reigned in by the Tigers. The only constant was forward Tim Smith who provided a perfect target on the way to his second five goal haul for the season. 

Casey was well served in the ruck by lion-hearted ruckman Jake Spencer with Jack Grines and Viv Michie providing solid run and support. Youngsters Angus Brayshaw and Clayton Oliver showed great promise for the future and in twelve month's time do not be surprised if they and Alex Neal-Bullen are all regular fixtures in Melbourne's best 22.

The Scorpions ended up scrapping their way to an unconvincing two point victory over a team which is well out of finals contention. They remain on top of the ladder and will be looking to perform much better against Footscray when they return after their third bye in five weeks. That situation is certainly not good enough for a senior semi-professional competition.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
