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.


Goodwin, Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow, Petty & Neal-Bullen All Out with COVID

But training was at Casey; why would Christian be at AAMi, assuming that video was taken today.

It was taken today apparently.

Best guess would be maybe light duties, especially given the talk around him playing sore. Either way, he's not in ISO, so that's a good sign.

Sam Edmund live on SEN now - 

  • Did not divulge names but suggested he was pretty sure he knew who they were.
  • When asked how significant the players were responded it was "1 or 2 best 22 and next generation stars"

We trained at AAMI yesterday, that footage could be from then. Trac was also on 360 last night.

Thanks.  So he could be in iso today.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, Christian, Spargo and Kozzie share abode and none are in today's Casey photos.😬

Yep and Lever was meant to be there today. 
 

At the end of the day every club has and will be impacted by Covid. It’s best to have it happen now and get it going thru the club than come finals. The players and coaches infected during the season should have decent immunity up until the end of the season now which is good. 
 

Of course nobody wants Covid and I suspect the recent issue with Wines is probably a post Covid issue as the exact same thing has happened to my friend post Covid. But it’s 2022 and we need to get used to this new reality. 
At least we have guys at Casey who are dying to take their chances at senior level. 

Hope so, but the trouble with Omicron is that you could get it now and then get another dose in September.

100% correct. He lives with this partner in Kew.

Clarry has also bought a house and lives with his partner. 

Neither of those boys live with Jackson and Pickett. Jackson and Pickett used to live with the Brayshaw's but have moved out together. I don't know if Rivers lives with them as well.

He's been sub for 6 straight weeks, so wouldn't think so.

I meant pre-season.

You don't need to isolate or even test if you have had Covid 12 weeks prior to coming into contact with someone who has Covid.

Yep true but you do have a higher immunity for around 10 months, so ive read.

Ive had it but 4 weeks later im still not 100%, so im not sure how it effects players overall longer term. Hopefully their immune systems are better than mine.

Both of these guys were away from Melbourne when the main outbreak occurred during xmas and NY. So it kind of makes sense that they are one of few left unscathed.

Haha yeah Just discovered the same thing - although I wasn't going to load up on the Hawks.

We've got Lever and Viney coming in- 2 handy players.

If Dogga is out Tmac will get the nod - he does a fair bit of forward ruck work anyway. 

Dunstan will stay and only be better for the run. And plenty still to choose from.

If we were playing Brisbane or Freo, I might have a concern but Hawthorn .......... meh ...... 4 points on the way.

True but I reckon The disruption might cause us some issues and there is a fair chance of more players getting it. Hawks playing decent footy

also not having our head coach will impact us a bit

Does anyone have the definitive list of 3 players / 1 abode?

Given Jackson confirmed and that instagram post I guess Bedford is a monty which leaves one young best 22.

 

My best guess would be Kosi as I am fairly sure he lives with Jacko and Bedford.

As someone noted above, considering Jackson and Kosi spent a lot of time in the off season not in Victoria (and in fact Jacko was in WA for a lot of it where Covid was still non existent), it makes sense they have caught it now. 

It is also no coincidence in my opinion that guys like Lever, Viney and Goodwin who all have kids, have caught it recently. Daycares and schools are mass spreaders. School back on Tuesday could explain why Goody has it.

Are you saying that's the AFL's protocols? I'm not sure that would be correct. Every player is tested regularly as far as I'm aware, no matter where they may sit in that 12 week period.

You're on the money for general public, but as we've seen this year, the AFL's protocols aren't always the same.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
