    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.

The Casey Scorpions' promising start to the 2013 is stalling. After winning the first four games of the season in impressive fashion and then coming close to ending Port Melbourne's long undefeated run of home wins, they crashed to earth at Casey Fields on Saturday.

Casey kicked the opening goal of the game against the Box Hill Hawks when Mitch Gent roved a pack and kicked truly, but then conceded two by way of frees in front of goal and, after that, were never allowed back into the game apart from a brief flutter early in the second term when Jake Best kicked truly to reduce the gap to two points.

The breeze that had been nothing more than a mere zephyr at the start of the game had stiffened by the start of the second term and this was to be of great significance for the contest. After Best's goal it was all one way traffic as the Hawks combined brilliantly and moved the ball with pinpoint accuracy as they ripped the Casey defence apart kicking eight unanswered goals in the space of less than twenty minutes to go to a 50 point lead before a Dominic Barry goal stemmed the flow a little.

To compound matters, Casey was extremely wasteful when its turn for the use of the wind came after half time. They kicked 3 goals 8 behinds in the third term, the inaccuracy snuffing out any hope of a major revival. The visitors cantered away in the final quarter to win by 60 points and delivered a crushing blow to Casey's prospects for the season.

With Melbourne's growing injury list and the Demons' policy of holding back two emergencies for their games, the Scorpions were down to just ten Demon listed players plus youngster Jesse Hogan who was quiet and restricted to just a single goal.

Cam Pedersen was a tower of strength all day and Tom Couch worked hard despite a tag while Jake Best and Mitch Gent were the best of the Casey listed players.

The Scorpions face another tough test under lights at Skilled Stadium on Friday night against ladder leaders Geelong who will be smarting after their first loss of the season at the weekend.

    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

    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
