    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.

Jeffo Still in defence, after being pick 15 as a forward 🤯

good - best place for him to continue to develop his game

he kicked 20+ goals in the vfl in his first year as a forward on an afl list

now to add extra strings to his bow he can develop a defensive mindset

Training:  Captain's run at Gosch's 

The AFL rehabbed are having a strength and conditioning session. Sestan plenty of running, Melky working hard and is now leading with intensity against a defender (non-contact), and receiving from Sestan. Bowey running laps. Turner going harder and has started change of direction drills. Hunter has also increased his intensity, now doing structured kick to kick with Turner.

Casey players are out.

Low ball get drills to start them off, (Sestan, Turner and Melky have joined the squad), then some handballs with short run throughs. Now skills in a square, finishing with a kick on goal. They have gone into a big square of four corners with bigger kicks and run throughs.  

Not many numbers match the VFL team sheet, and it seems to be last seasons squad.

White has a support on his left knee and is sitting out most drills. 

AMW is not training.

Number 50 is a big unit playing as a forward.

Structured sims. First from back to front, then reversed. Tomlinson setting the rules and pushing standards. Jefferson and Adams, in the back pocket. Verrall and Farris-White rucking. Tholstrup and K.Brown forward, with Tholstrup being pushed up into the stoppages. 

Coach (Whitford) now pulls them together and demonstrates what he wants. He walks them through various scenarios at different areas on the field as they mime the actions. White attends these pantomimes, so could be playing.

They end with goal kicking. 63 has the skills, rarely misses.

The rehabbed stay out on the paddock for extra drills and sprints down the field.

Jefferson has done pretty good since going to the backline. Do not mind at all him playing back there if hes gaining confidence. Cause he wasnt getting much of the ball in the fwd line

With injuries to May and Lever there are openings for Tommo or maybe Adams ? Haven’t seen much of Jed this year and thought he was a fair way off last season but will be interesting to see if he can put his hand up

Surely we rest Tomlinson for this game (or at least a half) to make sure we've got him fully fit for the AFL next week?

Does anyone know if you're allowed to bring dogs to Casey home games?

Post above suggests new guidelines.

Pre pandemic dogs were very welcome. I can recall Neville Jetta and his family having a lovely little dog at Coburg.

Went to Box Hill  immediately post pandemic and certainly lots of dogs... all well behaved

Don’t think so. Unless it’s changed since 2020. All I could find was this though.

Thanks gents.  Looks like a no.  I seem to recall seeing dogs there in a final late 2022 but memory from then is sketchy

Game Day!
 

Andy, WJ and assorted D’landers, must have have been partying hard into the Wee hours. Celebrating the Mayblooms de-petaling.

Box Hill Hawks may be a different proposition, faint echoes of the empire strikes back?  As the Enterprise voyages fearlessly into the unknown. This seasons new Casey  Demons are also a relatively unknown quantity with many new faces on board. Mixed with some more familiar faces. Today’s transmission from Planet Casey will soon reveal whether the blend of new and old will gel. A New Hope?

Thanks @kev martinshocking google Sundayitis from me !!! 

The original list had M.Lewis at full forward.  

Looks better with Caleb Lewis at full forward.  

Read that he was a young star at St Bedes in the VAFA.  

Interesting to see how he goes.  

I am getting worried about Jefferson.  We effectively got Jefferson and Windsor in the Jackson trade compensation. Jefferson is a good young player. Good mark but second efforts and current frame mean he’s easily beaten at VFL level. Perhaps a stint in the backline will help build more desire for the footy and the contest.  

I’d give him another 18 months on the list at least.  Early days still.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
