  • 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.


Jones' Nickname


Still Waiting

Had it suggested to me that" The Jones Boy " has been tagged with "Casey" as in the old TV series Casey Jones (Steam Locomotive Driver). Seems to fit well too. I think part of the theme song included the words "a steamin' and a rollin' " Go Jonesy, you are a precious commodity to the MFC.

"Chunk"

I've heard "Rock Monster" as well, gee he's a little ripper of a player, even if he is bald.

On the coverage today they showed Carrazzo shaped to hit Jonesy and the little bald one didn't even flinch, he actually looked at Carrazzo as if to say 'Go on, I dare ya'.

THE BALLAD OF CASEY JONES

This version was considered by Janie Jones, Casey's wife, to be the most accurate representation of Wallace's original version. Mrs. Jones spent much of her life refuting some of the vulgar references other versions made about her husband.

Come all you rounders if you want to hear

A story 'bout a brave engineer,

Casey Jones was the rounder's name

"Twas on the Illinois Central that he won his fame.

Casey Jones, he loved a locomotive.

Casey Jones, a mighty man was he.

Casey Jones run his final locomotive

With the Cannonball Special on the old I.C.

Casey pulled into memphis on Number Four,

The engine foreman met him at the roundhouse door;

Said, "Joe Lewis won't be able to make his run

So you'll have to double out on Number One."

If I can have Sim Webb, my fireman, my engine 382,

Although I'm tired and weary, I'll take her through.

Put on my whistle that come in today

Cause I mean to keep her wailing as we ride and pray.

Casey Jones, mounted the cabin,

Casey Jones, with the orders in his hand.

Casey Jones, he mounted the cabin,

Started on his farewell Journey to the promised land.

They pulled out of Memphis nearly two hours late,

Soon they were speeding at a terrible rate.

And the people knew by the whistle's moan.

That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones.

Need more coal there, fireman Sim,

Open that door and heave it in.

Give that shovel all you got

And we'll reach Canton on the dot

On April 30, 1900, that rainy morn,

Down in Mississippi near the town of Vaughan,

Sped the Cannonball Special only two minutes late

Traveling 70 miles an hour when they saw a freight.

The caboose number 83 was on the main line,

Casey's last words were "Jump, Sim, while you have the time.

"At 3:52 that morning came the fareful end,

Casey took his farewell trip to the promised land.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttle,

With the whistle in his hand.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttlle,

But we'll all see Casey in the promised land.

His wife and three children were left to mourn

The tragic death of Casey on that April morn.

May God through His goodness keep them by His grace

Till they all meet together in that heavenly place.

Casey's body lies buried in Jackson, Tennessee

Close beside the tracks of the old I.C.

May his spirit live forever throughout the land

As the greatest of all heroes of a railroad man.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttle,

Casey Jones, with the whistle in his hand.

Casey Jones, he died at the throttle,

But we'll all see Casey in the promised land.

I go with the traditional Jonesy, but my brother and one of my mates (both non Melbourne supporters) refer to him as the Chemo Kid, there was a picture of him and Neitz in the paper earlier this year and they reckon he looked like a kid who had luekemia.

any fans of the TV show "The Shield" would agree Nathan Jones is Vic Mackie no doubt about it!

Is he the bloke who plays Ben Grimm [aka The Thing] in the Fantastic Four movies?

Triple M call him "mini chief", in reference to Jason Dunstall.

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
