    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.

Casey Scorpions v Gold Coast

Recommended Posts

According to the Casey website the Casey Scorpions Game v Gold Coast this Saturday (7/8/2010) is starting at 12.10pm.

Is this new starting time correct?

Is the game still being covered by ABC1? If so when will the game be broadcast?

I hope KC from Casey can shed some light on what is happening.

VFL website has the game down as starting 1:10 pm.

Yes I noticed that as well.

But here is a guess at what might be happening.

The senior game is starting at 12.10pm as the first game. The ABC1 cover the on delay at 1pm.

Also on the Casey website the reserves start at 3pm.

So therefore remembering that Casey have aleady had a home game shifted I would think the ground condition has played some part in this.

I am only speculating here on what might be the reason for the chamge in game time.

Indeed it is. He's not named in the reserves side thoguh, so presumably that means he'll play in the seniors.

Good luck to him. I remember reading an article earlier in the year about how frustrating he found it playing in a team where he didn't know anyone. Hopefully he's finally able to run out the year in the seniors and get some momentum and form up.

Is that a 13 man extended bench?!

Ha!

Yes it is, they always named all of the MFC interchange bench from memory.

All the bull that clubs still go through with this foxing about who is in and who is not annoys me.

Has it ever given one team an advantage that won the game! Tonight they have to nominate the starting 24.

Will the tigers be so caught out not knowing last night the final 24?

I can only imagine how worried thay are right now about wether Millar is in or out!

What are the odds... he follows Grimes' footsteps debuting in Rd 22 ? About 250-1 or 500-1 at present ?

Of course this would ONLY ever be considered IF we were: -

1. ruled out of finals contention before Rd 22,

2. AND if Blease was able to play the next 3 weeks in the Casey Seniors,

3. AND show reasonably good form

4. AND get through unscathed.

Make that 1000-1. :)

Therefore most likely not possible - or more likely no chance. BUT... many if not all, said the same thing about Grimes towards the end of 2008. Except for yours truly. B)

The small amount I have seen of him left me very impressed.

Looks to have good pace, fluid movement and great skills. Looks every bit a league footballer to me. Lets hope he gets fit over the next pre-season to have a decent crack at it net year.

Tapscott would be before Blease. Maybe they both debut that rd.

Fitzpatrick would be before Blease, & he's playing well, burdened with the ruck duties & competing well. IMO Tapscott is getting close to a token game as a taste, followed by Fitzy, neither are ready for a genuine entry to AFL, but come the end of the year, we may find space?

But then there are others who need encouragement as well.

Bails was quoted not long ago saying that Tapscott was the most AFL ready of all of our draftees from this year. That would mean he is ready for a genuine entry, and if he gets his chance I hope he really grabs it. From watching him play in U/18's, hit boot could really add another dimension to our half forward line.

It's best not to try and rewrite history.

Pay particular attention to post no. 40 in this thread (last post on page 1). :)

And in fact, on closer scrutiny (post no. 10) you said that if he isn't picked by round 21 then "IMO they should leave his debut until next season". Hmm B)

Whilst I grant you by saying "Except yours truly", I'll point out that at the start of that sentence I stated "many..if not all" which included probably just a few ie. Rogue, yourself and I. Point taken on the "except yours truly".... Good piece of research undertaken H.

With regard to the latter comment - I thought I had stated Rd 22, to borrow a line from an astute poster, either someone hacked into my computer or it was one of the very few brain fades in my time here.

More likely the former. ;)

PS. Bad error of judgement on my part re: post 10. But check out posts 51 & 62....66...I did refer to the Richmond game (Round 22).

In fact check out page 4, you brought up post 40 in reply to me even back then... :lol:

Confirmed by the club.

The 12.10 pm start was requested by Gold Coast (gives them extra time to get their flight) and the 3pm reserves start is much better than the alternative (9am).

ABC telecast is delayed starting at 1:00 pm.

Any idea if its been broadcast on the radio (net) thru anyone?

For all us missing out interstate..

Couple of things:

- I'm sure I heard the coaching staff say they'd like to give Tapscott a crack in the AFL before seasons end.

- Good luck to Sammy Blease!! First crack in the VFL Seniors!

- Season 2011 could be a defining year for the club in terms of our depth being displayed to the WHOLE of the football world. Melbourne will gain more respect to the point where people will be saying, "Gee look at the amount and talent of Demons players coming through!!!" [Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Blease, Tapscott... in 2011 the floor is all yours].

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
