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.


Casey Demons v Collingwood VFL


KC from Casey

It takes a while for the penny to drop for some of us but perhaps Goodwin was persisting with Weideman in the seniors because ultimately he was hoping that he would take the role of the second ruck/forward a la Boyd at Footscray.

Hopefully it was a good idea that is just one year early.

Great to see the Weid get some ball because at Coburg in the forward line he was just "not there."

Really liked Weid's game yesterday. He had a run of shockers but yesterday looked a very good developing footballer.

I hope he spends the rest of the year at Casey and actually dominates a game or two. He's still a skinny kid who, hopefully, we can make a 10 year player out of.

Just finished watching the recording of this this morning.

Wagner's performance will out pressure on the bottom 4-6 to perform on Monday.

Can see what they are trying to do with Stretch's game and it is starting to work. Played more mid than wing. Was more inside then spread with his possessions and they were more aggressive in movement. Another player of quality if others dont perform.

Ben Kennedy's disposal is diaobolical. Understandable why he is not being seen at AFL level.

Kent's intent (or lack there of) is diabolical. Is very much just going through the motions (could be injury related but suspect likely more attitude).

Weideman worked into the game beautifully. Will get a lot more now out of building his form at CHF at Casey this year in prep for next year.

Maynard and Johnstone show capability to build on for the future but the rest are just playing out time and are low depth at best.

I hope we don't regret rushing Salem in for Wagner who is starting to heat up.

He had a week off due to suspension, not injury, and his pre-suspension form was unarguably best 22.

Wagner, meanwhile, was just OK at AFL level and plays the precise position Salem plays. With Melksham in better form than Wagner, I can't see the issue at all.

Great, nonetheless, to read that Wager dominated for Casey, bouncing back from the demotion immediately. Keeps the pressure on the bottom 6 tomorrow.

Also great to read that Weideman worked his way into some VFL form. Hopefully he learnt a lot in the seniors about what is required and we give him a long period at Casey to work on those things. Once we can get Hogan and Gawn/Spencer back into the side, we shouldn't need Weideman at AFL level (barring further injuries/suspensions) and we can leave him to develop.

I was there too OD but there's no need to shout " OLD " I can still hear !

You seem to have been a bit quieter of late. Are the " LIDS " still over the back fence or are you playing the % game ?

No just old and losing interest puntkick. I think the MFC half game team has finally got to me. I live for the day our team starts playing from the first bounce.

Don't get too excited Bbo he was playing against a second rate VFL side. Get excited when he plays a good agame against a decent side.

Yes, one swallow doesn't make a spring as they say OD. However, what impressed me was the fact that he bounced back from 3 or 4 absolutely shizen performances to play a very good game.

Shows a bit of character I reckon.

Could never understand that selection. Did BP move into the Pies under an assumed name?

So just a little update on Keilty, he was feeling real crook for the first half of the game against the Pies, but managed to settle it after half time, but don't worry I got into him after his poorly missed goal hahaha

Just want to remind people that he played as a key defender all of last year, and trained as a key defender during all of pre-season. So now that Melbourne want him to play in a Ruck-Forward role, it is going to take some time for him to really learn, develop and prosper in his new job. He is a late bloomer sorta player who probably won't hit his prime for another couple of years. For those calling for his delisting at the end of one season, I think is very short sighted.

I reckon ruck forward is perfect for him. Gawn will always need a chop out. Pedo will probably play that role now but as Pedo shows players who work hard and play their role get their chance. Dec can fill that spot nicely i reckon and will get his chance i the future. They won't delist him. Big guys who are mobile and can take a grab are just too valuable in today's footy where they only play one ruck. His time up back won't hurt either. Good education and gives him some flexibility, which s we have seen this year is crucial for big fellas.

as a matter of interest, how long does he have - are rookies on one or two year contracts, and after a second year then they have to be upgraded to the main list or dropped off?

it feels like mitch white has been a rookie for eons!

    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
