    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.

The Casey Demons will take on minor premiers Williamstown in a qualifying final after beating off a strong Werribee challenge at Casey Fields yesterday. 

The 15 point victory was unconvincing but it gave the Demons their sixth straight victory and maintained their unbeaten run at home for the season. The Tigers were desperate as a win would most likely have given them a place in the finals and they put in a plucky performance which saw them within three points at the final change. But it was not enough in the end.

The game was close early with both teams locked together for most of the first half until a lapse in discipline saw the visitors give away free kicks and a couple of fifty metre penalties that led to three late second-quarter goals for the Demons that sent them into the sheds at half time with a 21 lead. 

Werribee worked hard after the break to atone for their indiscretions but the Demons closed off the game with the only two goals of the last term to secure the double chance.

The Demons were without skipper Jack Hutchins, rested with general soreness, but were well served by the goalkicking prowess of their smaller men in Bayley Fritsch and Angus Scott who managed five between them. Fritsch, who is the club's leading goalkicker, is on his way to the State Draft Combine where he is likely to further establish his credentials as a potential draftee. His mark and goal in the final term when the game was on the line was all class.

Of the Melbourne listed players Jack Trengove and Ben Kennedy played their roles and Corey Maynard continued his good progression through the season but, on the whole, they were disappointing when one considers that potentially, at least, an AFL finals place was on the line.

In the end, it was those penalties given away before half time that cost Werribee the game and a finals appearance.

The Casey Demons qualifying final game against Williamstown will be played this Saturday at 2:00pm at the scene of their opening game of the season, Burbank Oval.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
