Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Watching the Casey v Bendigo game a few weeks ago it was evident that at every stoppage he got his hands to the ball. Yes he has fitness and application deficiencies but he can get the ball in tight. If he improves his weaknesses he will be a good player.

Good base to work from. At least he can find his own footy. Most of our team can't.

We have many players who can win the ball. We win our fair share of to footy during games.

It's our inability to maintain possession of the ball that kills us. We simply don't have enough players with the required skill to hit targets or make correct decisions.

Anything like his game today?

I think we saw some of his undoubted football intelligence, with a quick direction of his teammates and smart decision making near the boundary with Howe & Trengove, leading to a good team goal.

Also made a few nice quick give offs, as he was smart enough to make sure he knew where his teammates were and turn his body before absorbing contact, allowing him to find just the right angle.

Insanely positive write-up. I thought he was slow, lacking match practice, and didn't really have an impact on the game.

Be good for Gys to get a solid taste of top level footy so he knows what he has to do in the preseason to compete at this level.

Sounds and seems under done.

Back to Casey if a couple of others are fit.

I thought he did some really clever things.

It was only a handful of moments, but for a kid who hasn't played at this level for a while, I liked a few things I saw.

Was always going to struggle running out the game, and his impact on the game is maybe a bit subtle for some to identify.

At the match with a full view of the field, looking at the how the teams' structures had shifted, him managing to make the tight handball hit its target a couple of times was crucial.

A turnover would have led to an easy goal.

He also identified what was happening, and directed JT and beckoned for Howe to get ready to come on before receiving the ball, then giving it off perfectly.

Only one moment in isolation, but it showed pure footy IQ.

Didnt perform anywhere near up to the required level today.

Stick thin! Been in the system a few years now.

Certainly no excuses for Jordy, he is a paid footballer and obviously doesn't prepare like he really should.

Morton and Gysberts have to go.

For the life of me, i can't understand why these blokes are still built like rakes - with all the facilities and professionals they have at hand.

There is simply no excuse at all, none.

He has the talent.

Just needs to build the engine,

and the drive to fulfil his potential.

I will clarify, when I say, have to go - I mean dropped, not delisted.

Obviously Jordy gets another year whilst Cale probably will get the chop anyway.

His pre-season sounded average, reports of him and Blease in the slowest distance run group?...

He can be salvaged if he decides he wants it.

I've mentioned this before, but a mate is friends with Melksham, and I'm told that when "The Weap" arrived at Essendon, the players were all given strict new diets.

On the very first day his task for lunch was eat 2 entire bbq chickens.

It was the of same ilk as diets for blokes like Phelps that you see in the paper around Olympics time.

Both need to eat a lot more, but I did notice a bit more definition creeping into the upper body of Gysberts today too.

It's fair to say I'm quite interested in his current status at the club, and watched him closely today.

So he doesn't have "drive" after an interrupted pre-season and coming back from a broken jaw to play at senior level?!

Dumb dumb comment.

Gee after his first game back, didn't pickup 30 touches. Don't think Tappscott got many in his frst game either.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
