  • 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.


Word on the street re Gysberts....

Can anyone verify the below link on Gys?

Could the Dees have struck gold with young Jordon Gysberts?

I'm keeping an eye on this kid I've heard from a very good reliable source he is already performing way past expectations.

Don't forget Jim Stynes has been down to training lately...that in itself will inspire all our players and coaches to push harder.

That's why i think we shall suprise a lot of people this year.

Not only is he the lynch pin in this clubs resurgance, he is fighting the ultimate fight publically.

That has to inspire all who come close.

Hopefully recruiting Gysberts is a Fantastic choice and he makes the most of it.... :mad:

Who is that guy? The Poster? Doesn't really offer much in the way of backing up his statement..

People have knocked Gysberts for his kicking and i'm not sure why, but he finished equal 2nd in the kicking test at Draft camp, which at least shows he can use both feet relatively well.. He's an AIS boy as well.

People knocked Grimes for his kicking as a draftee, but from what i've seen he's a superb kick, despite having a slightly awkward looking action..

Gysberts seems like a very good decision maker too. Clean below the knees... i'm sure there's a good reason why we spent pick 11 on him... :lol:

I think we can expect all of our 1st 4 picks to figure for us this year. Exciting times ahead..

Apparently has played a bit of footy and has done quite well. His first name is Jordan and he is easy going likes Hoe-downs, mushrooming and The Simpsons.

Um, didnt everyone finished 'equal 2nd' in that kicking test?! :)

I've been looking at photos of training at Casey and notice there aren't any houses down there. Therefore, they must all be training the house down :lol: !

nice

if i go to training on friday morning i'll keep an eye out for him.

Hope theres a lil report coming our way bbb?

From what i've seen I would say it is his best preseason ever.

again, nice

And THAT thread was started by the site founder who is obviously trying to boost activity on his forum.

Noticed that too, but i suspect he's a Dees supporter. there seemed to be 3 times as many topics / responses in the MFC section if you check it out.. may be worth showing support there, as well as here, if so..

I'm pretty sure I overheard someone on the train the other day saying that he doesn't even flip his pillow over when it gets warm.

bahahaha this thread is hillarous!!! But maybe I just had really low expectations, hence the thread is actually just average... perhaps like the expecatations on Gys.

Uh oh, I was called by an insider at the club this morning at around 3am.

It seems the club are worried that he hasn't even made his debut yet and we may look to delist him mid season so there's more room in the showers and one less player to handcuff at the end of season footy trip.

    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
