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.

Surely Matt Burgan and or Robbo (with special comments from the Gawn Dog??) can take a leaf out of Port's book, and set up a tripod and camera at Casey this week, and supply us with a live broadcast of the match via the Melb website. Can't be that hard!

Here's hoping...!

As long as we don't get comments like "that St Kilda player", I'm all for it ;)

LOL. What would be even worse would be "that MELBOURNE player"...!

Would love the club to take some initiative with this coverage.

Take a leaf out of commercial radio, get in some volunteer commentators (or Matt and Ellie) and have repeated references to the 'Opel Goal of the Day' and the 'Webjet Flight (mark) of the Day' to help keep the sponsors happy.

It's not a huge audience, but it also wouldn't take much to setup.

Absolutely! Wouldn't be hard to emulate Port's effort. And I, for one, would be over the moon if they did!

Yeah the main problem would be the internet connection, given it's not in a 4g area and the data would be considerable. A recording for later viewing should be pretty easy though. I'd do it but I don't have a video camera.

I would be pretty sure that the club does record these games. After all, I'm sure someone reported earlier in the year that it was recording training sessions.

I saw that article. Didn't they say they had HD cameras at either end of the ground for the entire training session? That would be more than enough to get some decent footage of the game.

Renmark wasn't streamed, it was archived and put online the following day.

Is that right. Okay, we go one better and stream ours...!

4G has nothing to do with it. Hopefully they aren't going to be videoing it off their phones.

Casey isn't exactly Liam Jurrah Remote... it has cable.

I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't allowed to stream it live. But I would be happy with a recording to watch the following few days

The GWS v Brisbane game was streamed live from Wagga over the weekend, was basically just a camera on the wing with (I think) Hutchy and a couple others commentating.

Club has been tweeting that they are going to record whole game and put on website, somebody asked about playing "live" they said not possible, probably something to do with broadcast rights etc

I think the tweet mentioned that the MFC website couldn't handle a live stream.

I am not too worried, if the club is spending money on someone to setup a live stream of practice games - what a waste of money.

The AFL should have set this up themselves - it's their bloody role - promote the game.

So, if THEY can do it, why on earth can't our outfit...?? We might be the oldest club in the land. But, just a little bit of modern thinking in the IT realm wouldn't be a bad idea, surely! Can't be THAT hard, surely!

Probably because Wagga was fitted out with 4g by Telstra last year.

Lol, 4G isn't phone technology mate, it's wireless networking technology, and if you're in a regional footy ground in the middle of nowhere, with no decent cable or high grade adsl connection, how do you think your going to upload the streaming data? A few tin cans?

Even if they did have decent cable access at Casey, you then have to wire to your recording device, put in a fair bit of time and effort testing, etc. THen as mentioned elsewhere you have the bandwidth limitations of the MFC site, etc.

I doubt the club would stream live, most "Live" transmissions are on delay for legal reasons.

I know it is only a practise game, but if something goes wrong and it hits youtube..

I would expect to watch a replay in 24 hours.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
