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.

Hunt is a professional athlete like Jordan and Tiger Woods.

Was it a fluke when Jordan jumped from the foul line and dunked it?

Was it a fluke when Tiger hit a 30ft put to win the under 16 world championship and announce himself to the world?

Honestly one of the worst posts I have read on demonland and I have been reading since the merger talk.

Comparing Jayden Hunt to Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan is the stupidest thing I've read on Land ever.

Leo Barry fluked a mark once.

If a professional athlete does a dead on the field it is part of their craft.

Hunt’s torp was one of the greatest kicks I have seen. Up there with Blights.

Nice spelling/grammar.

It was a great kick. It does not make his foot disposal great overall.

Let it go. You look foolish.

Only one looking foolish is you. Was a deliberately kicked torp after the siren that went through post height from the wing a fluke?

Welcome to highlight all my grammatical and spelling errors it doesn’t help your poor arguments.

Hunt is a conundrum.  He does have genuine AFL attributes.  He's like a cricketer who needs to hone his game and remove the errors.

It's a coaching and development challenge, but I like what Hunt offers and can see him still being an important part of the team.  There's no reason he still can't improve.

I think the club holds a similar view 'Pro', as do I for what it's worth.

Any talk of a trade was quickly knocked on the head...

I look forward to seeing what he brings this year.

Hunt is highly regarded by Goodwin and co. - how do I know this? (Considering this isn’t coming from a board member I ‘know’ nor talking to staff at training...)

Because they played him against Sydney after being out for an extended period. They rushed him in because he’s a point of difference or just better than similar players we have.

He will earn his games this year that’s for sure. The wing/HBF will have some pretty handy players fighting for spots; Lewis, Jones, Stretch, Fritsch, KK, Salem, and Smith with Hore and Wagner behind those above. Some will have to find a place elsewhere or stay at Casey.

Can’t wait to see him on a wing.

If Hunt can return to form and claim the other wing we could go from no/average wings to seriously dangerous wings. Hunt for elite pace, KK for elite kicking. Here’s hoping one or both of them can stay injury free and build consistency!

Some great upsides to look forward to with these two, LT.

Some great upsides to look forward to with these two, LT. Thinking of Hunt, in particular, he may well be an answer to a role for a 2nd wingman/outside mid. His pace contributions are best when in possession of the ball - and the related gaining of ground before disposal by hand or foot. However, his pace and such an opportunity for ground with such pace is not fully utilised when it might well be - certainly more frequently than running 'with the ball'. He should be given opportunities to run to space the receive, himself - and he is a mighty kick when lined up - leading an opponent metres behind as he dredges space on the ground with that pace to receive within that space. He is an all-out attack machine in this role.

Hard to say, he was probably recruited for outside run but they were probably were hoping his defense and contested ball winning was a bit better. From what he has shown so far we can only really risk him as a forward at the moment.

You recruit players because you think they have the right traits to play the game not especially one position but yes he spent the whole summer training with the mids to play wing and looked pretty good in uncontested drills at training. The groin injury was a set back and he had 2 pretty awful games. Plus the concussion issue raising its head again (pardon the pun).

Need to sort that out and get him playing consistent footy in the VFL, anything more than that would be a bonus for this year.

Reminds me of a non-descript or unmemorable player of the early 80's that played 12 games.  Yes he may have kicked 2 (joe the gooses) when we had a 4 goal breeze against the lowly Fitzroy at the G on a sunny day, but ....meh.

Hope I am wrong.

Injuries aside the Suns did not fight hard to keep KK. Was a little surprised by all those who over the pre season had him as an automatic best 22.

He might make it but at present he is just showing how bad our fringe players in this area are. Can anyone remind me how long the initial signing was of KK.

Hope he makes it but I'm not hanging out for it. Same for that matter goes for Stretch who we all hope makes it but the signs aren't good.

It doesn't look good the same problems he had at Gold Coast hasn't come on like we hoped, no longer in our best 22 (if he ever was, he was in mine). Hoping he can overcome his issues but it doesn't look like it at this stage.

Nice of you to give him a bit of time... please remind me of how long he’s been with the club and how many games he’s played at any level.

80 games is enough to make an immediate impact and he hasn't with his 2 underwhelming games and now he has his concussion issues again as I said it doesn't look good you don't get much time in football.

Give him time. He's had only 2 games with us and hasn't played much footy over the last couple of years. Will get a mix of Casey and senior games this season (injuries permitting).

Was a sensation in his 2nd year, that ability doesn't just disappear.

Only a fool would write him off at this stage

Yeah, sounds like a guy who came third in last year’s Brownlow. Also sounds a little like a certain co-captain that many wanted moved on early in his career (probably the same softcox that want him moved on now... or at least up until last Friday).

Word from the Suns is that they are thrilled with their Super fit young group and are happy to have moved older players on.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
