  • 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.

My coffee cup is trembling slightly in my left hand as I read this Gameday thread for the first time.  Dunno whether that's a good or bad omen, or just this intolerable Canberra cold.  Anyway, I'm tipping the Dees by a small margin, because I reckon our hard-working, two way mids, and our attacking but disciplined backs, will give our forwards just enough suppy to kick a winning score.  If that doesn't work on its own, our sheer will to win, and 'never say die' attitude will surely prevail.  Dees by a few points, giving my pacemaker another solid workout.

Based on his recent contract extension, I would suggest nor is he. 

Indeed, although he surely can't keep rolling out mediocre (at best) performances.

Having Viney and Jones out of our midfield is a big bridge to cover. Beating Carlton is one thing but a top 2 side is another.

You can think what you like, it doesn't bother me at all. 

Casey Players have a chance to cement a spot in the team tonight, as Pedo has done this year, if they play well and hopefully pull of a WIN. 

Play poorly and it is straight back to Casey Fields

It clearly isn't straight back to Casey. Kent's game last week was atrocious and he got another game. The FD have shown their hand and they won't simply select a player one week and drop him next. The only situation this happens in is if they already believe the player offers little and is a stopgap (White against Sydney).

So when Viney Jones Tyson and Watts are back in the side we will play 26 players will we?

That wasn't my point at all. No one is playing for their career. That's all I take exception to.

A career at Casey Fields in the middle of winter or Play well for the MFC when chances arise, that is what is on offer tonight for fringe players tonight. 

3-4 years ago there was very little between the MFC side & the Casey side

thankfully things have changed

In terms of informed, well, it's in Darwin and we're playing the Crows.

Other than that, good luck.

I've stopped trying to predict these games with any logic.

But yes logic certainly suggests that.

A lot rests with our young stars, Petracca and Oliver.

Looking closely at the two sides, an anagram of Adelaide Crows is 'Caseload Weird' - real backline issues at crowland? - while an anagram for 'Melbourne Demons' is 'Norsemen mould be' which obviously points to our Viking berserker approach to the game.

Plainly, this all suggests a Dees win by 13 points.

    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
