  • 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.

At last ...

Fcuk Sam has got some speed!!! He is going to love playing on the MCG regularly.

Just loved his game, it was a bright spark in a very hard year...I hope the Form of Blease helps Tom Scully remain in town....very close those 2 i hear.

Well done Sam....no more kick to kick in the backyard though!!!

The kid will be a gun.

Can someone explain why it's taken so long for him to get a senior game?

Um geez hard one, maybe it was the broken leg or maybe the lack of fitness, or it might have been the largely uninspiring VFL form until midway through this year. Tough to tell really.

Badly Broken legs need very careful management-His was a bad break.

Strauss will be very similiar...6 months before he can resume training...then you must rebuild muscle that has literally wasted away...

Long Job. I have had dealings with Physio Therapy.

Last bit is correct I think.

I saw him 3 times early in the season and he looked anything but an AFL standard player.

However he has slowly come on as the season progressed.

I have to keep reminding myself he had a very serious injury and was out for the best part of 1.5 seasons.

2011 has really been his first full season since being drafted.

Nice to see Blease given the nomination. We was close to BOG for us against the Suns.

He has had a number of setbacks, but he certainly looks like he belongs at the top level.

I realise he was out for ages recovering from a very serious broken leg, but my query was really about why he's been playing at Casey for a while now, instead of with the seniors. Anyway, it doesn't matter now. I don't expect he'll play for Casey much (if ever) in the future.

Frank Adams exit stage left (1964), Sam Blease enter stage right (2011).

So true Bushy....Blease WANTS the ball, he is not frightened to get in there.

His attitude is needed around the ground....On saturday he reminded me of a Turbo Charged Jordie Mckenzie, as if Jordie had gone to the HSV performance workshop!!!

Due to the above ,Sam had lost a great deal of confidence- but to win a nomination like this in his 3rd game must surely set himself up big time with a huge pre season for 2012. Great stuff Sammy.

It would be all about confidence i am guessing RB....Blease is in the side for speed...a broken leg takes all that away.....for a time.

But he certainly let it rip from centre half back a few times last saturday!!!

He will be right to go now for a full pre season.

Stoked for Blease. Slightly off topic, does anyone know what his nickname is? I've started calling him Geez, as that is what I kept saying every time he took off for another blistering run up the guts :)

I love this bloke, not just his speed but his attack on the ball and his confidence to take the game on.

Have heard time and time again that a broken leg is a two year + injury and thats about where Sammy is at.

I really enjoyed the catch cries in a fearly dull crowd on Sunday, every time he got the ball the crowd lifted "RUN SAMMY"

He is going to thrill and provide alot of great moments for our club for a long time to come.

Good on you Sammy......Keep Running!!

Blease Lightning! Not a very practical footy nickname (I'll bet the boys have gone with the ever so creative "Bleasey") but it's what I think every time he jets off. That, and that "sneeze" sound cars with nitro make.

Haha, nice one. Think I'll stick with my 'Geez" though. Still got me buggered how he runs and weaves and leaves all in his wake. Brings a smile to my dial just typing this :)

    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
