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.

Newton in devel league. wow

Coming back from injury so assume he'll play 50% game time to get back into it for week 1 of the finals next week. I thought it was a message but then remembered a) Imjured last week and b) he's been great at Casey all year. Hope he finishes the year with a premiership.

Ah ok, makes sense, wasn't aware of that. Cheers

What's Newton doing playing back in the Development League? (Also I like the Scorp's centre line!)

Has Chris Dawes played his last game for the club?

Missed these last 2 games, presumably injured, or been told to go away and start getting his body right for next season. Or, just been told to go away.

agree ... 41 available. Mitch King and Lamumba unavailable.

Dawes rested due to contract negotiations.

MFC: we have paid $500,000 for 4 years (official) for $2million total for 50 games. $40,000 per game. Its changing to $200,000 plus performance incentives. We need to keep Hogan. Take it or leave it.

Why does Chris Dawes not have to front up for Casey like every other player on our list? For the sort of money he is on, he should be washing the coaches' cars if they ask him to, let alone playing in the reserves occasionally. The sooner he disappears, the better.

Because you want him 100% fit the either start pre-season or to pass medicals when you trade him

On another note, and KC please correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me as though we'll have up to 20 players available for VFL finals that meet the criteria being the following:

Christian Salem, Jack Trengove, Clayton Oliver, Lynden Dunn, Ben Newton, Colin Garland, Cam Pedersen, Viv Michie, JKH, Sam Weideman, Liam Hulett, ANB, Jack Grimes, Jake Spencer, Ben Kennedy, Mitch White, Joel Smith, Matt Jones, Dean Terlich, Max King

Could have a 22 looking like: Bold = Casey player

FB: Garland, Dunn, White

HB: J. Smith, Hutchins, Michie

C: M. Jones, ANB, Grimes

HF: Terlich, Hulett, Newton

FF: Pedersen, Weideman, JKH

FOLL: Spencer, Oliver, Kennedy

INT: Keilty, Munro, Salem, Trengove

With Max King in the D - League & someone like Tim Smith a Casey main stay unable to crack the 22.  VFL premiership should be the goal if these players are in fact going to be available.

You'd think Dylan Collis, Tim Smith  and Angus Scott would be in this side, even if it is at the expense of a fringe demon, as they've been big contributors for Casey this year, as has Ed Morris.

Hi KC, love the work you do reporting on the boys at Casey each week. Do you (or anyone else) have a list of all the MFC players who will qualify for finals? I suspect that's behind some for the changes this week, but interested in the status of Weid, Oliver, Pedo, M Jones, Salem, BenKen etc. 

WJ posted the criteria for finals qualification last week. On my calculations, the following players qualify:-

Lynden Dunn, Colin Garland, Jack Grimes, Liam Hulett, Ben Kennedy, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Matt Jones, Max King, Viv Michie, Alex Neal-Bullen, Ben Newton, Cameron Pedersen, Joel Smith, Jake Spencer, Dean Terlich, Jack Trengove, Sam Weideman, Mitchell White

It's a good squad to choose from. JKH has had injuries but that would be about it. No reason to send any off for surgery and most playing to prove something for 2017. A big finals series by any of them will have a major implication for 2017.

Thanks KC. I thought Salem had played the 6 required VFL games and as of this weekend so will Oliver?

(b)          Subject to  Rule 20(c) below, a Player who has played in an AFL Home and Away Match after 1 July in the relevant season will be ineligible to play in VFL Senior Grade or Development League Finals Series Matches unless that Player has played in a combined total of at least six (6) Senior Grade or Development League Home and Away Matches in the same season.

(g)          Despite any other provision in Rule 20, where a Club does not field a Development League Team, an AFL listed Player must:

(i)           qualify under Regulation 20(b); and

(ii)          have played no more than 12 AFL Home and Away Matches,

 

So after reading this, we are fielding a D-League team therefore it doesnt matter if they've played more than 12 AFL matches? 

Salem has played 5 matches (nope); Oliver is about to play his 6th (13 AFL games); Kennedy 6 (15 AFL games). Hoping that we do get Kennedy and Oliver for the finals. What a 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
