Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden

    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.

north are not exactly the yardstick

Last year they were goalless against Casey

A good win but perspective is useful.

I very much enjoy VFL but increasingly it is has little impact upon AFL success

Thanks for providing that perspective DJ.  Being an old fart who lives interstate, it is indeed useful!

Petty Jeffy and Kielty had a good run today and in form ( at least a good week's form)

Maynard is another inside mid and contested beast Pity is not an outside runner.

ANB not back in reckoning.

Jetta Lewy Lockhart KK very handy to very good depth 

Stephen May and Jake Lever Prize  recruits who deserve extended period  on the park to bolster the defence to near top class.

AVB Joel Smith and JKH more likely ready about bye or even further injury time required.

RELENTLESS by KC from Casey

The Casey Demons returned to the winning list with an emphatic 54 point victory over a limp North Melbourne VFL combination at Casey Fields on Saturday.

Smarting from last week’s thrashing at Box Hill, the Demons came out of the blocks intent on redeeming themselves for their embarrassing start to the 2019 campaign.

After a brief early bout of inaccuracy, the goals flowed as a result of relentless pressure applied to the visitors who were constantly forced into error. The pleasing thing from Casey’s viewpoint was that the team had multiple avenues to goal with six different goalkickers hitting the scoreboard in the opening term tally of 6.7.43 to 0.0.0. 

The inspiration came from Jeff Garlett who shook off a lengthy period of injuries and indifferent performances to return to his sparkling best. Garlett tackled and harassed the opposition, brought others into the game, maintained that effort throughout and booted three goals to give himself every chance of returning to the Melbourne line up in the near future.

Casey continued to dominate proceedings into the second term and pushed its lead out to 49 points at the 14 minute mark before the hapless Kangaroos scored their first ever goal against the club after 5½ quarters (they were held goalless in their only previous meeting last year).

The Demon domination continued to half time when they led by 54 points and then through to the last break and into the final term when they led by as much as 84 points, 14 minutes into the quarter when skipper Mitch White booted his third. 

At that point, the home side appeared to relax and coach Jade Rawlings would not have been impressed as North went on a five goal spree to double its goal tally in the last fifteen minutes of the game. 

The coach would however, have been happy with his team’s all round effort and the much improved input of his Casey-listed players. Seasoned performers from the skipper to Mitch Gent and Jimmy Munro were in the fray early, as were debutant, Tim McCaffrey from Wangaratta Rovers and Jaxon Briggs who played his best game yet and booted three goals. Although recruit Liam Wale-Buxton was eventually well beaten in the hit outs by seasoned big man Tom Campbell, he contested strongly and tackled well.

Speaking of tackling, Alex Neal-Bullen was a tackling machine throughout the game while the in-and-under midfield work of Corey Maynard was outstanding. Tom Sparrow was given a run with role on Dom Tyson and did very well in curbing the dangerous on baller for most of the game in what will prove an excellent learning experience for the youngster.

Harry Petty and Declan Keilty both bounced back after subdued performances last week with the former outstanding in defence with his marking and rebounding work. Keilty looked good in his various roles, especially around the ground when called on to do the relief ruck work and also kicked a strong goal in the third term when up forward. Both will be in contention for promotion this week with injury doubts over Oscar McDonald and Braydon Preuss.

The Demons have a bye next weekend before returning to Casey Fields to take on Richmond in a fortnight.

A bye next week ..... that's downright amateurish.  How are AFL players supposed to build continuity, gain match fitness, work into form?   Jeffry needs (maybe) one more run to be AFL ready, and instead he's watching on. Grrrr!

I don't want him in the team to kick goals...

I want him in the team to  'Bust his Backside'  for the team...  up the field and down the goals,  to win possessions,  present defensive pressure, setup our players...  and to SHARE in the goals with his work-mates.

 

An unselfish Jeffy,  is what the team needs.

I do.

Agreed. The weaker opposition could assist Jeffy build on that confidence he needs to perform. Jeff is a naturally very shy and quite complex young man and poor games cause him to retreat into his shell for extended periods. 

Up and running, J. Garlett is perhaps the only player on our list who can change a game in a single quarter. We desperately need him.

welcome to the VFL...unfortunately it's an underfunded dying comp.

The late start to the season and the additional byes not to mention that the Casey listed players rarely train with the MFC players all operate to compromise the competition.

Thought Clarry did a great example of changing the game after quarter time although Jonesy did assist.

I have only seen him in his one game last year. Hoping he is going to be very good. Can he lock down a big forward and what is his marking like? 

I have followed his progress and marking and intercepting are very strong points if not the best of his game.

Last year was a disastrous decision for both us and Harrison as his nerves and again our defensive plan was exposed by over the back goals especially.

I believe with some extra kilos and development he is getting near the opportunity especially before May and Lever return. This year I would have to accept advice from Casey watchers but I thought  he was quite handy and composed vs Tigers at Shepparton.

I do however believe Harrison will become our first choice third tall in defence by  later in the season.Only exception might be Frosty on Buddy or some other match up for the horses for courses opponent.

I wonder if Oscar is worrying too much about his long term position and also not as fit as he should be from his shoulder op pre season.?

Unfirtunately he has gone backwards lost all confidence and judgement and doesn't even go for marks any more or if he does he doesn't touch the opposition viz Heeney outmarking  two  backs at the SCG. Oscar was just a very close spectator confided and bewildered.

We can't afford that defense now with the cream out injured  and never really if we wish to beat WC and Woods  and Tigers or GWS.

It will happen Petty will get the nod but I have a feeling it won't happen overnight. Until Jake and Stephan are back and adjusted and the unit is playing strong brand of footy might be the opportunity best utilised as we hopefully build towards a meaningful September campaign again.

Until his next game, when he doesn't play well, and you claim he should be delisted at season's end! ;)

No way , I have been a fan since the day we drafted him.   He played like crap last week and I didnt flinch.   He will be a beauty, take it to the bank!

I wonder If Petty will get a go in the next two weeks... with only 4 days between our Saints game and the ANZAC Eve game v Tigers.

I think we will see a shuffle of players between the two games,  to try to maintain fresh legs, and strong running.

 

I think Goody said OMc was concussed last game ?

 

I wonder which of these two opposition teams Petty would matchup on best, for us ?

    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
