Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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 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 2018


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

The word from out at Casey is that recently retired MFC 141 gamer Colin Garland who will have coaching roles with the club’s AFLW and VFLW teams in 2018 could also turn out during the season with the Casey Demons. Delisted rookie Mitch White is also said to be a likely recruit.

With the axing of the Development League, the Casey Demons’ VFL list will be reduced significantly.

One player off to the Frankston Dolphins for their return season to the VFL is Jake Lovett.

Colin Garland is what footy ought a be about.

Have we had any better a clubman, then Garlo?

Takes the train to the footy.

just a great fella I reckon.  A real community spirited person imo.

What are the circulating words about Jake Lovett? What is he like as a developing footballer and does he bear any similarity with his father? If he has one ounce of his father's talent, he may well be a great talent for us down the track.

He's a one paced, nuggetty onballer. Hasn't shown enough at Development level to suggest he'll be a good VFL player, lit alone an AFL one.

Thanks for this advice. Maybe it is too early to extract expectations from one so young. His father was a little slow at times but read the play and his roles extraordinarily well.

I would love to know how van der Haar is progressing...his old man was sharp! Wasn't too bad as a mobile utility, either,

Collis and Lefau are gone.  Club also wanted Hulett to sign on but he has gone to local footy.

After the draft, 3 TAC players who missed out and may not get a rookie chance

Tom Murphy - Stingrays

Reece Piper - Stingrays

Aiden Quigley - Power

I’d invite down to Casey for a tryout and consider the MFC Casey pipeline. 

Thomas Murphy off to Kangas. Quigley is still the young man that Casey needs to get onboard

So without a development league where do the fellas on our list who aren't up to scratch to play seniors at Casey play?

They play with a local club until they get the call up. Likely train twice a week at Casey. It’s a tough call for the fringe like Mitch Cox and Jordan Moncrieff. Some will just stay in local footy or tryout at Frankston

No where pretty much 

Hulett was dropped for the Semi-Final v Richmond this year therefore he didn't play  for anyone that week

But Id think unless you are really screwing up they'd force you to play VFL seniors even if you aren't up to scratch

So D167 does that mean if all 44 of our list are fit and sober than 22 play for the Dees and 22 for Casey and all the Casey boys have to bugger off... they can come and share a cheroot with me at Byron...

Pretty much yeah

To be on a VFL list you have to nominate a local club so they'd go play for them that week/have the week off

It's going to be interesting if we don't have many injuries - particularly to talls.

Let's say Gawn, Hogan, TMac, Lever, OMac and Frost (I don't have him in my best 22 but many do) are playing at MFC

It's going to be interesting to fit Pedersen, Weideman, Petty, King, T.Smith, Keilty and Filipovic along with Hutchins in the Casey team.

I guess a couple of injuries are likely ...

I think Jack Trengove was up there as well as a clubman! Not quite sure why the Club couldn’t have similarly created a role for him at the Casey Demons, particularly when he won their B&F this year? ?

Trengove wanted to play AFL and Port have given him the chance.

Casey should offer a role to Lachlan Hansen. At 29, he is too good to retire and would be good for him to come back home to the shire.  Like Hutchins, he would really lift Casey up.  Casey only have Weideman and Smith as key forwards and hopefully Weideman plays 11-12+ games at in MFC in 2018.

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
