  • 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.

Cam Pedersen is a good footballer

I never understood why he was dropped toward the end of last year, he was having a fine season up forward on a team with no midfield and barely any inside 50 entries and none of those entries of any

Nup. Nothing is more annoying than people spelling his name wrong.

"600thou"- Howe should join Jack Watts at Casey. His efforts today were deplorable to put it mildly!

Pederson has crack, and that is what I want every player in my football club to do. By AFL standards he is average, at best, in talent but he had a go.

Have no idea what the deal is with [Pedersen] not getting a consistent game in the ones. He's miles beyond Dawes and gives it a crack, at this point in time.

Roos doesn't seem to have much love for him.

Dawes must be a fantastic trainer and most importantly a good bloke.

Yep, silly stuff. You need to pick your moment and coming off two weeks of beng totally outclassed and about to face the reigning premiers isn't the time to puff out your chest.

agreed John Dee.

I do not want to see one player in a red & blue jumper, who will not go in a physical contest. just should not get a game, until they learn they can, & they will.

Hmm appears to be out of contract at the end of the year. Anyone worried he's going to leave us?

I actually think him leaving would hurt us more than Howe leaving.

He'd have polled well in the B&F voting in 2 of the 3 games he's played. Dawes and Howe wouldn't have factored in any of the games they've played.

True that Cam Pedersen is a good footballer......until the ball hits the ground.

Seriously though, right now is the best contested mark in the side along with Hogan.

IMO Pedersen is actually an example of good depth on our list.

If we're in form and without many injuries I'm not sure he's best 22, but he's versatile (I still think his best football is as a rebounding defender, but he can play key forward as well as in the ruck) and has improved since he started with us.

This is the kind of player you call 'depth'. Not some of the other players on our list.

Dont think so.

You have overlooked a key strength of TMac.

Which is?

FMD some hairs need splitting over there.

I think Pedersen is a serviceable player at times who can clunk the odd mark and kick a few goals every few matches.

Handy attributes of course.

I also think he is a bit of a dumb footballer, misses the odd tackle badly, a poor defensive player, oftentimes selfish to a fault, and when not clunking marks has precious little effect on the game.

He's not useless, but needs to add a few strings to his bow if he's going to stay in the 22 while we get better.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
