  • 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.

I'll start it off...

Tapscott is crap, I mean he has done nothing but sit pretty on that injury list and waste our time.

He has shown nothing, and we should have redrafted Luke Molan with pick 18. We'll end up regretting the decision to draft him.

Nah, bugger Molan, we need a forward, can we redraft Robbo at the end, this year? And he was a Tasmanian!

Nine rounds in and you say he's a dud pick when he hasn't played an AFL or VFL game.

Shame on you!

How could you have overlooked the fact that he's become our latest 426?

A little bit of 'tongue in cheek' Jaded? I'm not biting!

Gawn 6-8 weeks and we are at round 10. Based on this assessment, the earliest he will be up and running at Casey will be round 16. Does anyone else get the feeling we will be seeing a Gawn debut game next year? He might squeeze in for a late 2-3, but this season is a wash for the big fella.

Yep. Think he might be "Gawn" for this year...! LOL

You were going for the double reverse sarcasm yourself weren't you!?

Gawn probably won't debut for the demons until 2012. This year has been ruined in terms of developed at VFL level. a 206cm, 18-year old kid, coming off a knee reco, will take years to develop fully.

He will need a full season at VFL to develop his game. Does anyone really expect to see him play this season.

Ruckman often only fully develop by the age of 25 at least! You only need to look at Jamar and Sandilands as examples who were labeled duds in their teenage years (i know Kruiser has gone bang straight away but he is a freak of nature)

This is the first week he's had a number figure rather than 'indefinite' isn't it?

I'd not expect him to get much beyond the Casey reserves this year -- so yes, this season is a wash. To be honest I wouldn't have expected him to pull on an MFC jumper this year anyway, even if he was fit.

i cant wait to see the number 35 run around on the g. bought the jumper with his number on at the start of the year cos i like the fact he's hard at it and as soon as i heard CC say he had that bit of [censored] about him, i liked the sound of him even more. anways, the very next week he was on that list. i think i may have jinxed the poor kid. anyway good full page picture of him and trengove in todays mx.

Agree. Long term prospect. Would need to develop at VFL level with a decent amount of games under his belt.

I could be mistaken but this injury list is the same as last week with the players shuffled around a little bit. Melbourne website are yet to update the list from the 18th and it looks the same as above

    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
