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.

JVR was cramping early in the last qtr. It's mind boggling that he's playing 2nd ruck at Casey. There's been a spate of ruckmen getting injured this year, so why take an undue risk with our thoroughbred colt.

Despite the massive win, the only Melbourne listed players who put up their hand for selection were Chandler, Hunt and Brown. Riv was very disappointing.

Chandler had a great third quarter but was only serviceable for a lot of the rest of the game.

Agree for such a massive win there was not much to excite

If Jacko or Weid suddenly missed this week who would come in to the side as back up ruck? It would be JVR. So get him a look in that role. Plus it’s good for his development, and if he’s cramping then it’s good for his fitness too!

The risk of injury in back up ruck minutes would be marginal compared to straight up key forward

Did you watch the game? JVR was non competitive as a ruckman. And to answer your question, Ben Brown wound 2nd ruck, and either Mitch Brown or JVR would come in as key forward.

IMO Mitch Brown should have played 2nd ruck for Casey, and JVR key forward.

Would be Mitch Brown surely? Potentially even Tomlinson who did some back up ruck for us early on when he came to us. Very much doubt it would be JVR.

I would be interested in the opinions of those who know a lot more then me if either (or both) Bell and Valentine are in the age mix / physicality / skill set to make it at AFL.

Thanks in anticipation.

Tommo’s an option I guess, I definitely wouldn’t ruck either of the Brown’s. From what I saw in patches of the 3rd quarter JVR had no idea what to do in the hit out but his follow up was good and he got involved around the packs. Whether he’d be any chance to play or not I think it’s good for his development

I definitely think JVR playing some ruck at Casey would be good, but I don't reckon we'll play him in that role for his first senior game. That's all aside from the fact he's only 193cm, so that combined with his physical maturity precludes him playing ruck at AFL level anytime soon IMO.

Bell is 21, was on the Saints list for ‘20. Not sure how much footy he played last year.

He’s 202cm, which I’d say is solid but not great for a bean pole and looks an ok athlete. But you’d want him to either be taller or more athletic for his skill level which isn’t that flash. Still, he’s only had a couple of games as the main man without Daw, and he likely had covid interruptions last year. So he’s finding his feet and there’s a look that there’s improvement in him. 

I’d say he’d be one to watch more than a standout to add to the main lis right now.

    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
