    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.

Great result to have Sheahan, Davis and Cook named in the best players but unfortunate that Rory Taggert is back on the injured list. Sheahan has really been the club's big surprise packet at Casey.

Tynan is playing. That is the highlight of the week so far.

Casey's lead is out to 26 points but all the talk here is about GWS and Geelong being level at half time at the Cattery.

.and so it should be - they look quick and switched on.

Half Time: Casey Scorpions lead 8.8.56,to 3.2.20.

Goals: Cook 3 Bate Fieldsend Fitzpatrick Lawrence Petterd

Stat leaders: Panozza 15, L. Tynan 14, Petterd 14, Bate, Davey 13, Sheahan 13, Fitzpatrick 11.

Some good performances out there. Evan Panozza producing some great leadership. Troy Davis and Jai Sheahan are very cool customers in defence along with a much improved Luke Tynan. Cook really showing some good signs in front of goal

Ricky P did some great things through that quarter. Loves a trash talk too which got him into a good scuffle with Davis backing him nicely.

First goal of the quarter was a cracker from the pocket to Lawrence as well.

Should I be getting excited about Cook or are the Bullants just doing what you expect a 1-6 team to do? Is he on a Carlton player or some 17-year-old?

Still, good signs. Also pleased to hear Davis is doing well.

Huge fan of Davis & have never gave up on Cook like most - the kid has all the goods, needs to add on weight, will be our next FF, Clark plays better up and around the CHF position and thats where we get let down. Time to start playing these kids like Davis, Cook, Tynan, Taggert & Co.

Problem is that Morton has ruined the assumption that players will eventually put on weight for everyone.

Just like Jamar turning out to be good six years later means we'll never be able to write off a ruckman quickly ever again.

And Watts getting tackled first up in Queen's Bday has ruined any chances of Cook getting a game before he's 25 and 100kg...

Yes whilst you may be right in these cases, Cook has put on 10kg in 2 years whilst Morton hasnt put on any!!! I rate Cook very highly.

As for Jamar, personally I wouldnt of held on to him that long, nor would any club for that matter. Had one good season and doesnt do any damage around the ground. However he is leading the AFL in hitouts and is being let down by a non-existent midfield.

Wouldnt be suprised to see the Dees get a mature ruckman in FA or Rookie draft this year, shame Gawn doesnt look like he will make it due to injury.

Max will be back but not before 2013 ... and Daniel Menzel's experience today is another good reason why he shouldn't attempt to come back too soon.

I would like to see Jake Spencer get another chance. Perhaps after the bye when we take on GWS?

Certainly not suggesting that CM is representative of any other player! He needs to be locked inside a KFC.

Yeah bloody sad about Menzel WJ. Good young kid. Do you know if Max will be ready to go start of pre season?

Yeah they need to trial Spencer for a few games and see how he goes.

Based on Jake's game today, I doubt it. He has a foot on the bullants ruckman but just gets knocked from his line so easily. He needs a lot more strength in his legs so he isn't shoved out of the way.

Also around the ground he has had little to no impact at all

Fitzy as clunked a couple grabs today so I think he would be ahead atm

    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

    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,
