    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 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.


CASEY: Practice Match vs Port Melbourne

Jefferson has talent, but little aggression or intensity.  The bad news is that's the hardest trait to instill into a player.  Further bad news is that it's the most important trait for a key forward.

Defence is a far easier position for someone with his DNA.

I'm dubious that he'll ever make an AFL key forward.

I know those with red and blue goggles have conniptions about such views.

in total agreeance with you, he has no agro at all, zero intensity.

Get JUH

3 things need to happen for us to step up again next season

Recruit a ready made forward such as JUH

Adams, Windsor, and 1 of AMW and Brown all have to be AFL solid players next season. Adam’s to replace May, Windsor on the wing, Brown on the bench

Change the game plan and stop relying on Gawn.

I remember at the time, thinking, why are they crucifying Fritsch of half back!?

From what we have seen, Petty learned a bit about playing as a forward when he was a defender

Just one other thing about Clarry, just after 3/4 time a Port Melbourne player came over to Clayton and the joy, cameraderie,and passion was on display with bear hugs and plenty of backslapping and Bonhomie, clearly hadn't seen each other for a time but the obvious rapport was evident! The Port Melbourne player in question was..... Fraser Rosman a 1 time Dee

Was great to see🤩

Thanks Mr Fence.

Fraser was ok on his day.  Thought he might've got one more year and was super unlucky to miss the GF & a medal due to concussion.

A great club man.  He joined in the Casey premiership celebrations after the match and kept his chin up nicely. 

Pretty sure he went over to Perth and was in the mix for the post 21 flag celebrations with the senior boys as well.

i watched most games at casey when at home, and imo i dont think jeffo has it. hes quite lazy at 2nd efforts. this could come with maturity, but this is a make or break year for me. if he cant get in front of josh schache, then you have serious issues.

Correct. Reminds me of Lucas Cook who was All Australian CHF at U18 level.

If you trawl through Demonland posts you will find plenty of Lucas Cook fans insisting we play him.

Yep, learn the fwd craft by playing down back; see where the fwds run and how to position themselves

Yeah, It’s not new, we tried that with Diamond Jim Tilbrook , only problem was it was during actual matches for 4 points. He did kick it to the centre after a kick- in though.

Don't see Jefferson as the crash or bash forward. Needs to work with Fritch and learn his craft as a smart forward. The point is Melbourne has failed to identify big body forwards for the last decade. They have had so many misses it's not funny. Brown proved useful for one year but long term, we have sold the farm in early draft picks.

Brent Grgic??? Without trying to sound disrepectful, but why didn't you take up another sport earlier and, was your coach a relative?

Im looking forward to seeing Fullarton get a go.

Anyone else pushing for a spot?

Fullarton  likely, Jed Adams impressive, Brown rusty but they might bite the bullet, Brown dog good but needs time, Tholly not far of. Sestan? currently offers more than Spargo and or Chandler. T. Mac impressive at Full Back

Fullarton i feel is a big in, can chop out for Max abd play as a tall and make a contest.

Koz is an important in?

Anyone stand out to replace Bowser?

Salem to go back, Kossy more midfield time, Billings to start, Spargo and Chandler should be very nervous!

Let’s just say I didn’t have AFL recruiters knocking down my door.

For all of his shortcomings at the top level, Brent was actually a fairly handy junior footballer

    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

    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.

    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
