    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.

Now i know its not very wise to be judging someone who hasnt played a game yet but did we make the right decision to pick up gysberts before a bigger key position player like talia or black? sheedy wrote during the week how a club needs 12 or more midfielders but was it worth giving up a big body who can also play forward or down back? feedback on gysberts form for casey would be appreciated

At the Members information night - it was mentioned that with the game is currently moving toward this large pack, moving scrum.

Which then resulting in a quick breakout and move into open play.

It was said that Gysberts has the best hands that have ever gone through the AIS - even better than Scullys! And we all saw Sculls creative hands on the weekend...

So not only that Gysberts is quite tall, round the 188cm mark so when he fills out he will provide alot of size around the pack. Combined with McKenzie I think they will be winning alot of contested footy for us in the future.

If you have a look over Scully and Gysberts videos on YouTube, when they play for Vic Metro, Gysberts is often feeding it to Scully - releasing it into space.

Can people please just relax with all these kids and stop slating them and writing them off so early? its ridiculous...

Some of our recent guns have been late developers off the rookie list - Davey, McDonald, Bruce, Robbo etc.

Not everyone can have a breakout year in year one of football.

lets face the facts if Watts does not kick anything less that 6 goals in his first game this season he will be torn apart from all media and forums. Gysberts will be the same, I assume no less that 30 disposals his first game will be good enough.

As if.

I'm sure 4 and 25 respectively would be fine.

I like the looks of Gys. The kid i'm unsure of is tapscott. Will give him time cause of that cannon of a foot.

This is just a stupid statement. During pre season - I thought he was going to become our best recruit.

Can people please stop posting dumb threads about rating draft picks after 4 games of the season, some of whom have not even yet donned boots at all for us!

Recruiters look at these kids with development in mind and try to see at least 3 - 4 years ahead.

It's not an exact science and there's more than an element of risk with all of them, but all you can do is have faith in the people that call out their names on draft day.

If Gysberts, Watts, Blease et al turn into good senior players, we pat them on the back and maybe give them a pay rise.

If they turn out to be duds 3 or 4 years from now we sack them and try again with new recruiting staff.

Simple as that.

This is just a stupid statement.

That honour goes to the poster who had a sook about how ridiculous the MFC don't update James Frawley's height and weight everytime he eats a pound cake or how a practice match was the most critical to MFC's fortunes this year or a sook about how we won't win a game this year.

VFL Player Review

Casey Coach Brad Gotch gives his player review of the Scorpions’ win over Gold Coast, played in Queensland.

Jordan Gysberts -

I thought Jordan had probably his best game for Casey. He had about eight clearances, and they were really clean clearances. The reason we got him was for his cleanness and his quick hands, as well as his ability to read the play, so his midfield work was exceptional. Then he got 22 possessions as well around the ground. He worked really hard, and I think the week off might have helped him to freshen up and have a really big game.

Gysberts in for the West Coast game next Sunday. Please :)

He'll get his run soon enough don't worry about that, I have no doubt he'll play at least once this year, even if it's just to give him a taste.

If his Casey form keeps up he'll be in sooner rather than later. Exciting stuff.

It's notable also, that the Sydney Swans had him firmly in their sights.

I think you will also find ... Port where a big worry at 16. They had their sights firmly set on both our Eastern Rangers boys.

Think they hoped Essendon would let Melksham slide ... Demons would take Jake. Then they would have jumped at Gysberts.

I love having an ace up my sleeve. People know about the kids we have playing, they don't know about the Gyz and Blease who are yet to lace up the boots.

Adds to the buzz of having new kids to develop to take the club up a notch.

Need something to look forward to, can't have all your presents in one xmas!

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
