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.

Great win it's amazing what can happen when a few listed AFL players join the team.

What happened to McKenna?

Great to see Hannan play well must replace JKH for the Geelong game.

Maybe Hannan and Viney for Tyson and Kent?

Anyone seen footage of Hannan’s mark?

Channel 7 showed a few highlights of the Port v Box Hill game during the Rich v Willy half time break and nothing from the Casey game.

Tyson is supposedly fine to play so it's JKH omitted for mine.

Got to hand it to Pedo. Keeps giving 100% and putting his hand up for senior selection. Would have to know his days on the MFC list are probably numbered. Not going to give up and leaves everything spent on the park. Kudos.

At present I would give him a contract for next year . Fills so many gaps

Huge thanks to KC, drunken167 and all other posters that was just fantastic to follow, what a great effort by the boy's, coaches and team mates I hope that McKenna is OK.

Go Casey............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The same from me guys. It's a pleasure to roll through the thread and see how the game unfolded. Thanks for the update.

@Drunkn167 sounds like the best day down there mate.

Great to hear the whole squad was there for that obliteration.

Can't help but feel really excited for our club.

Crack in hard Demons!

Yep Pedo could play a circa 1995 Wayne Carey-like game and know he still isnt going to get a promotion. Very much like the way he gives his all for whoever he is playing with.

It's a pity Casey have the week off now.

We lose some of the advantage for the Seniors of having the Twos in the Finals.

Hawthorn are lucky Box Hill came third. Now they can give players striving for firsts selection a go next week.

We can't.

At least it'll help the firsts if they get through to the GF.....fingers crossed.

Interesting... loved the shellacking yesterday but a similar thought did cross my mind and I see the Toiges lost last night.

I love the VFL but I am starting to wonder about its relevance heading forward. The fact that Viney didn't play when there was an opportunity to play him for 2-3 quarters adds weight to the question mark as to whether you could get much the same result from a training program with simulated match conditions. It's a lot of money being spent on the VFL teams without an absolutely clear understanding of their role.

It’s a risk vs reward set up. Viney is our captain, sure we could have played him but the fact that he could possibly have gone out and injured himself is not worth it? Plus he only just got out of the “rehab group” yesterday. I honestly don’t see how anyone would realistically see the benefit of him playing 2-3 quarters in a match. I think we were lucky to be able to put enough scoreboard damage and rest players who may be in contention for a spot. If the game came down to the wire no way Hannan and co would have been on the bench.

Not wishing JV any ill by any means, but say he did go out and play 2 or 3 quarters and come off sore, would that not be better for him and the club than doing the same next week in the one that really matters?

There is just so much that simulation can and can’t do.

And I presume foot soreness is the potential injury that Mad-Melbourne was referring to, since that thug Wojxyzinski isn’t playing and more.

Nothing about a player hitting him, but removing all doubt of any sort of match related injury. I mean training can cause ACLs but significantly more ACL injuries occur during matches. Motivating risks associated with any other injury. In terms of flaring up of his foot again, I would assume ball training and running training with the team would provide the best test rather than a match where he might kick it 16-20 times.

It is taking so-called political correctness to an absurd level. Even my wife uses the term pussycats when she refers to our two cats and she is a fundamentalist feminist.

Is there a need to hold players over though? For example, Mitch Hannan could gain approval to play this week from the AFL because he didn't play seniors in round 23. But will the club hold him over as he will only have a 6 day break between games if he plays against Geelong?? 

Bloody good question.

I think I forgot to mention yesterday that one of the main reasons Casey were playing so well was there unrelenting pressure around the ball, the best I've seen all year. It was very similar to the AFL boys level of pressure when they are playing well. If the Senior boys can bring that same intensity this final series, geez I can easily see both the VFL and AFL going deep into September.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
