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.

Was Salem reported by the umpire?

Was Salem playing as desired by the coach with more intensity? Perhaps out to show these lesser players at reserves level that he is tougher than them? Perhaps he merely applied AFL intensity to this game? Was this merely a tragic error of time space location?

Jeez we're quick to hang our own players on here.  

Salem does things on the field that not many players in our side can do.  Importantly he can hit a target.  

Sounds like he's made a mistake today, but for god sake now he should be traded.

unbelievable.

Sounds like that might have been a problem today.

Blues really cost themselves percentage with their accuracy.

Great to see the win, great reports on mfc players aside from the Salem hit.

Stretch and BenKen keep knocking on the door.

Anyone know stats for the amount of games we have had a player suspended this year? Last year we only had a total of three weeks of player suspensions.

 

this year I reckon we are pushing a total of 20 weeks

Bug's act of stupidity is going to give this more fat than what you are chasing deserves.

For me, the thing about suspensions is not necessarily the quantity of weeks, but the quality of the personnel doing it, the quality of the impact that caused the suspension, which then leads to the outcome of the game the incident happened in.

For example, the Bugg suspension ticked 2 out of 3 boxes for me.  It was a lesser quality player that did it, he totally wiped out one of their key playmakers out of the game, but we lost.  Had we won, it was the perfect suspension in my eyes.

I know that will be controversial to some.  I don't really care.

On any level it was a stupid act.

He deserved every week he got. I have seldom seen that benefit the offenders team.

That has not stopped Weideman from getting a game D167.

 

"I felt that he played a strong role in creating aerial contests for us to bring our ground level players into play. In the last quarter, when we needed players to stand-up and compete, he took two strong contested marks and kicked a goal. He also set up another goal. When we needed him the most on the weekend, he was there. It was great to see the young man influence the game in the last quarter."

etc. etc.

From the VFL website-

CASEY DEMONS
Goal Kickers: B. Fritsch 4, Y. Zijai 3, B. Kennedy 3, L. Hulett, C. Salem, E. Morris, A. Ferreira, C. Porter, J. Kennedy-Harris, J. Watts
Best Players: D. Keilty, B. Kennedy, J. Trengove, C. Salem, B. Stretch, Y. Zijai
 
Was a great day out. I sat next to Sam Frost for half the game in the grandstands, and we had a good chat about him, Dec, and a few of the other boys who were playing (Salem, Kenno, Watts) Was pretty awesome.
 
Keilty is in AFL form, his last 2 months have been sensational. Last week and today were the 2 best game's I've ever seen him play. Being in the business end of the season, I doubt he'll get a debut, but keep an eye on him over preseason, and he might just become a great player for the Melbourne Footy Club.

What's his current playing height and weight mate?

Sorry if already mentioned - does today's win cement Casey in the finals? 

Technically if they lose the next 2 and Werribee win the next 2 by big margins, they could drop to 9th, but Casey percentage is good enough and the next 2 games are at home where they haven't been beaten in over 18 months so they should be right.

Keilty BOG after a run of a month being named in the best players.

Hes going to debut at some stage, but will he run out of time this season?  I wouldnt put it past Goody to debut him in an Elimination final if we got there

Anyway, great to see his development

With all the problems we have had with suspensions at AFL level, Salem goes and whacks someone in the VFL and knocks them out.

Trade him.   We dont need this sort of idiocy at the club when we need all players available at this crucial time.

 

So trade him because he whacked someone? Should trade you to demonology for being a weak fickle 'supporter'

Mark Yeates' hit in 1989 was nearly a masterstroke.  Can't remember if he get weeks for it, but it nearly got the desired result.

While I do not endorse what Bugg did, if the right opportunity, and the right moment, during the right game presented itself, providing it lead to the right result, I'd accept it.

I have to admit I am very surprised by all of the Salem talk on this thread, I didn't see him get reported and the incident where Sumner was injured I thought wasn't even a free kick at the time. You don't have replays and I didn't have the best angle but I think he will be fine from my view, just a very solid bump..

On the rest of the game, Casey dominated the contest in the first half over a very poor blues team.  I was fairly disappointed with the second half thou,  they stopped and limped over the line with the Blues dominating the contested ball.  Luckily for Casey the Blues were very wasteful at goal and Declan Kielty was on fire as the final margin should have been a lot closer.  

Watts didn't do enough from my view, another week in the VFL.

    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
