    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.

Toumpas and Strauss have great skills but I don't feel like either is damaging, both could be game breakers with their quality skills

I was at the game today and after reading through thie thread thought I would make some comments. Box Hill had some serious tall boys up forward, but they won it through some outstanding midfield run

I don't want to be mean to the Casey listed players but there are obvious issues there. I have seen quite a few of their games this year. They are young and small. They have lost too much experience o

Michie had 30 touches and tackled hard all day. Not overly damaging with the ball but certainly wasnt a bad game

I put the mozz on him.

After talking up Strauss he delivered a beautiful drop punt to a leading Casey player in the middle... That landed about 7m short of its target.

Yeah I noticed that, thought as he was about to kick it he is about the only player in the team I was happy to see attempt a kick like that,

I hope if we de-list him we give him a crack as a rookie, I still think there is something there

A score - a point to Best. That's how bad this is - I'm getting excited when Casey scores a point!/quote]

Should have run into a goal, but was tripped and put back on a tough angle for a free.

Clever professional free by the hawks player, if it was intentional.

It would have been a damaging kick if it hit the target, because the player was about 5m equi-distant from 3 hawks, but I think Strauss was expecting his teammate to lead harder and the target never made it to the fall of the ball.

Anyway, just what I'm watching now, some of these young Casey-listed players are too easily pushed off the ball.

When we're supplying Barry and Toumpas, it doesn't bode well.

Again, Blease just ran with the footy, ran into trouble, but stayed composed and found a target.

He then kept running and received the ball back, ran himself into trouble again, and again stayed composed and found a decent target.

The ball ended up being turned over another possession later, but I'd out that down to his teammates unnecessarily panicking and coughing it up.

Against the box hill hawks, I'd say that's pretty impressive.

Serious progress from Blease.

Rubbish handball to Blease from Georgiou, over his head and out of bounds.

Not a great decision when Georgiou was playing on from a free kick.

Now Gawn has a free paid against him to McEvoy, kicking a goal after the siren.

Half Time: Box Hill Hawks 7.10.52 to Casey Scorpions 2.2.14

Goals: Fitzpatrick Smith

Disposals: Blease 15 Evans Georgiou Michie 12 Gawn 11 Kennedy-Harris Nicholson 10

Key forward Tim Smith - injured shoulder.

I hope they don't lose the plot and fall apart in the second half like we have most of the year.

Liking Blease, Gawn and Georgiou.

Blease especially is looking damaging which is great.

Not much else to get excited about

i can't watch any more. this is just horrible

The most accurate post so far on this thread.

Depends on your perspective.

I have never watched Casey because I want them to win.

I don't care about the result.

I only want to see how the MFC-listed players are developing and what they can maybe contribute to the AFL side.

There's still another half of opportunities to see them and what they can do.

That's all I'd ever be watching Casey for.

    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,
