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.


do we want N.D as coach next year

Recommended Posts

last monday night N.D did not say he wanted to coach melbourne next year but said he wanted to coach.

so what you might think ?

but he said about 4 or 5 times that he could not talk to any other team till june 20th .

why did he not come out and say that he wanted to be melbournes coach.

l have heard that he wants to go to essendon when sheedy leaves.

sheedy is in the last year of his contract and is going for the youth thing .

the A.F.L have said they want sheedy and they have got a few things for him.

out of the past essendon players in coaching N.D has the best record.

belive it or not

melbourne will not talk to N.D about a new contract but have said they belive we can win a flag in the next to years.

which brings me back to Mark Williams yes he is in a contract with sandy but HE CAN GET OUT OF IT !

to take over Melbourne fc if the position becomes vacant.

GOOD BYE N.D THANKS FOR THE TIMES WE HAVE HAD LETS SHAKE HANDS AND SAY GOOD BYE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think what you want but just remember this come round 22

I have listened to the tape a few times. His tone was not that he didn't want to coach it was that he wanted to make the right decision for the club and the players at the end of the year after what i guess would be their review.

The comment re the date was raised by the panel and he just joked about it and said he might check the contract but thought it had that in it. Obviously he hadn't looked at the clause or thought about it.

I have not ever heard him say that- he wants to go to Essendon- it is only speculation from the general public and maybe media.

Anyway that interview was discussed in another thread last week and we have moved on.

The FD needs a huge review come the end of the season, and what about Bodan Babacrap, he has been useless and a big waste of money. Our players still can't run out games and so many players have lost all their strength and sacraficed it for crap.

I'm not saying anything because if history is anything to go by, this team will win 10 in a row and make the finals, only to lose in the first week. ND will then resign. So it really doesn't matter what I think.

get out while the ship is sinking neale. we need a new structure and a cleanout. we need new blood, get rid of the crap no heart money hungry players. i would rather try something new and lose than keep the old and keep losing. the afl is so crap to watch these days, as the qld people say; aerial ping pong is afl, and im starting to agree.

Let's get serious - we have to plan for 2008 NOW!

Peter Sumich should be immediately approach to coach the Demons - he's knows success and has bee around a range of coaches. He KNOWS what is required to make the top four. He wants to coach - sign him up by round 10, get the other coaches out and get planning and working on 2008.

We are too easily brushed off - we are soft and need to muscle up - we need to get a couple of players - trade the soft ones - YOU know who they are

SEN running a poll on who is going to be our coach next year!!!

ND will leave at the end of the season without any fanfare and not before, i just hope the new coach delists bizzell, holland, miller, ward, cj, brown, wheatley, fergerson,warnock,jamar.most of them should have gone at the end of last year.

Unless Freo get to him first Sumich should be the coach. Daniher must be sacked at the end of the year. West Coast are showing the competition how it's done we must poach them. Maybe then we could find some decent midfielders. Daniher must take responsibility for our lack of effort. Too choose Ferguson ahead of Holland makes no sense, Sandy had the bye the week before they had no form to pick him on, if they thought Ferguson was the man why didn't they play him against the Bulldogs. At least Holland could play on Lynch and Hansen they are big units. What does Ferguson have going for him ? and the worst decision was to play Robertson at Sandy. He's our no 2 forward and one of the few demon players that have a good record against the Eagles. I don't care if he is not fully fit a half fit Robertson would be better than playing the worst footballer in the comp in Miller. If Miller plays next week there is no way I'm going Daniher has to realise he is a lost cause.

Until today I thought ND worth another year. But now I realise we have no future with the present players. Have to have a big clean out which means no hope of finals next year either, which means no point keeping ND. It back to square one, start a new 'five year plan'. Give up on a flag for the next few years Dee's fans, but hey, whats new ?

I don't want our young players learning the game under Neale. The way we move the ball is nothing short of pathetic.

Mark Williams must come in. Does he have a clause in his contract with Sandy that says he can take the senior role if offered?

I actually think ND will resign this week. He looked like he had a tear in his eye when walking the boundary after the game.

I just don't know about swapping coaches at this stage. If we keep performing so poorly, with such poor skills, by the end of the year even the new coach would be tainted and we would be wondering if he was the right choice. However a few more performances like today and it will no longer be ND's to make

There would only be an iterim appointment.

The beauty of changing coaches is it doesn't matter if we don't win games under the new coach. As long as our style of play improves and our players continue to develop.

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of Grant Thomas.

Considering the injury list he had to deal with he did very, very well to get them playing a great style of footy.

Voss as assistant coach.

Grant Thomas @ Melbourne

You have been seriously drinking, & who can blame you after today.

I like the sound of Sumich as coach & Vossy Assistant.

A couple of blokes from winning culture's.

Thanks for the memories Rev

    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
