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.

Hutchy is an absolute idiot.. trying to defend Alan Didak after a number of fairly serious incidents. He is a disgrace.

I'm not sure about Collingwood's decision to let Shaw play, considering it be a bigger punishment than being suspended and dropped to the 2's. I think Caro is right in saying that it would be worse for any player to be told they wouldn't be playing in a game with such importance, in terms of getting them into the finals.

Jim just comes across as such a polished presenter in situations like this.

Other people come on this show and look like amateurs harbouring a grudge, Jim always seems to answer passionately and honestly

Apparently Fox has pulled out of the running for CEO, Schwab massive favourite now you'd think.

Said he really wants us to be training at Casey as part of a long term move, not a short term one that was originally being considered which i liked

Good too see Cale get 4 votes too.

Fox pulling out of the race is interesting. Guessing Schwab has it all wrapped up. in the australian tomorrow it will confirm he is indeed the hot favourite.

Mighty demons are definitely moving to Casey Fields. Deal completed late last week and will be confirmed by Casey Council at tonight's meeting. Great that the Dee's will have a top class training facility; includes $2.1million extension to current facility. Dee's will train there ful-time for 18 months (until MPS is completed) and then undertake pre-season training for next 10 years minimum. huge Community program to work with local schools etc and hopefully build members. :rolleyes:

I take it that 2.1 is the total revised works including moneys allocated for parking areas and such and the reallocation of investment by the council from land to construction?

Wow that interview really didnt tell us anything we didnt know. You gotta hate journalists saying "I know you've answered this before, but....". Why not ask some new questions? But i doubt they would have really dug deep on him seeing garys on the show. It would be interesting to see him on the couch, without any bias and see how well he handles himself.

Probably the most interesting aspect..almost glossed over was when asked about the Dees move (eventual) to Bubbledome. He was non committal to this. A strange comment really if we're definitely going and its only a few signatures on a few bits of paper holding it up ??

Possibly unecessarily reading between lines..but when your pres says very little of definite content one is forced to extrapolate by looking at what he 'doesnt' say!!

I felt he came across quite well, and i get the feeling that the reason why he didn't ake up the invitation last week was more to do with the fact that there was more bad news than good news. Now that he had things to say on the positive side it made more sense to come on.

Interesting that we are trying to create a long-term foothold in Casey, as opposed to the previous board who wanted it as a short term training fix.

I never got the impression the previous board had any other intention.. This is a Connolly dream... ( and a good one I might add) All we're seeing is further progresion I would suggest...not any real change in tact.

I'm wondering if you could tell us what broke down with the St kilda and Casey relationship?

Why were they considered as having one of the worst AFL/VFL relationships?

Exacyly Pipefitter. Curly questions need to be asked.

Either they are still deciding what to do, or yet to sign, trying to work out a better deal, or waiting for tonights meeting at regarding Casey Council, hence the non-committal to MRS.

You can pretty much assure that we're pulling out of the Olympic Park deal.

That could be the case. Which would mean perhaps a "Boutique Stadium" at Casey......we'll get a clearer picture as this week progresses

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
