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.

No updates as yet on the clubs website, Rawlings is still listed as the Defensive Coach.

Last place to look! The Club website still has Garland as a player FFS! ?

Have the assistant coaches for 2018 been finalised?

A goal kicking coach should be a priority.

I agree. Despite coming first in goal kicking accuracy, we should sack the goal kicking coach. 

While we're at it, we should demand Jack Watts back from Port, get back to the two draft picks we gave up for Leaver, and dump Lewis back on the Hawks and for them to return the packet of chips we gave them for his services.

In reply to CBDees - I had to twice contact the dolts at the Club website to get them to update it.

They still had Roos as coach and only Jones as captain. and this was around Round 3!

Don't know what they do there but they don't seem to be paying attention.

The list of players on the MFC website still has Watts, Kennedy, Spencer, Garland, White, Hulett on our list and omits Lever and Balic. Even if Balic and Lever haven't numbers yet, they should appear! ? Maybe we need to employ more dolts??

AFL is now a 365 day a year industry.  It’s about time the MFC spent the money to keep its website up to date daily.  Very ordinary when delisted players are still on clubs websites.  Lift your game in the website area MFC.

The season is still 5 months away and the final list lodgement is a while away, obviously you need the website to tell you who is on the list

Money goes to FD first

That comment makes zero sense.

There's an entire media/social media team employed by the club on a full-time basis.

It's a pretty simple thing to update. It looks very ordinary and only adds to what is already a fairly vanilla website compared to other clubs.

I just looked at Collingwood's and they've updated theirs. Pretty easy.

Whinging about website is the thing that makes no sense, if you need to check out players and pictures thereof, you are not much of a supporter, but then again we are talking MFC supporters

We got extensive coverage of trade week and other important news like the Redtails alignment, player bios meh!

FFS Saty grow a set! The MFC is not infallible. It is an entity, an organisation. Mistakes will be made - in admin, in drafting, in game plan, in rehab etc etc...  Shite happens.

It is actually ok to criticise ............... in fact it's healthy.

As for the highlighted comment. There are members and supporters who cannot get to training or even games regularly, or maybe never, who value and need this information. They should not be belittled or undervalued. 

Constant carping and sycophancy is of no value to anyone.

C'mon Uncle, surely you attend every training session and know every face. What kind of weak supporter are you (despite contributing around $1000 per year to the club and attending games regularly, incl interstate)?

Well clearly Moon , I'm  " not much of a supporter".

I hate to burst your bubble - you can become a neater kick over time but there is no 'kicking coach panacea' out there.

If you ain't a good kick when you enter the AFL, you are likely to remain so.

Rubbish.  It's a myth of the coaching industry that you can't correct a bad action.  It takes work, yes, but it is by no means impossible.  Richmond did it a few years ago.  They noted that the best teams tended to kick the ball on a lower trajectory resulting in less flight time, so they embarked on a club-wide mission to change the way their players kicked and get them kicking lower and harder.  Given the abysmal nature of our team's disposal I think it would be well worth the money to get a specialist in to do what they can.

I thought where we were at was because of on field performance, coaching and development and all along it was the website

Answer redraft Joel Macdonald as a coach, he'll have it fixed in no time, laughable

Does anyone have a Solution ?

1. try ringing the club and asking if you can take over the running of the website

2. Ask the club for the email or phone number for the person/team that are responsible for the website- then contact them directly

3. Ask someone else for ideas

4. Does anyone else have any ideas ?

‘Not impossible’

’it takes work’

’get them in to do what they can’

All of that, yet my view that one is ‘likely to remain a bad kick if you entered the AFL as one’ is ‘rubbish’?

I am not going to sit here and read posters thoughts about getting a kicking coach in as if that will have a wholesale effect on the team. It won’t. A coach will help a couple of younger ones but over time and possibly to their immediate detriment as they reconstruct their action. 

But, yeah, rubbish...

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
