  • 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.


Thank you and Goodbye

"How Shite is our club when we text Micheal Voss about the coachs job. LOL "

are you serious? IS that what happened? if so what a disgrace!

I wouldn't believe everything the media says.

If we're interested in Voss, he'll be interviewed like every other candidate.

The list of goners is long and extends beyond old fringe players. A good measure of the new coach, will be which players in our best 22 they are willing to put on the table during trade week.

Jaded, Voss said he recieved a message, so its not the media, its what voss said.

I didn't listen to what they said, as I had the volume turned down, but I still find it hard to believe that a professional organisation approaches coaching candidates via text messages.

In fact, I don't want to believe it.

You don't have to believe it because all footy forums thrive on rumour and inuendo. And what is the relevance of how or or how much the MFC has spoken to Voss or any other canididate compared to Carlton, Essendon or Freo. The break we had on these teams was made meaningless as soon as one more started looking for a coach. Were we to appoint Voss in the two weeks after Danners left?

Voss has indicated he still isn't sure if he would like to coach (yes, even AFTER speaking to Carlton who these rumour filled boards would have you believe he had already signed with last week). He also has said he considered what a club can offer him in terms of facilities and FD help would be more important than the list. Based on that alone he won't be putting his hand up enthusiastically for the Melbourne job.

People who want to use the manner in which the club is going about getting a new coach as a pretext to criticise it should Voss go elsewhere need to look at the bigger picture.

Voss said it on before the game.

He said he had had a couple of messages so we don't know if these were text or voice or what was even in them. Could have been a message offering him first crack for all we know :rolleyes:

I any case. Voss isn't interested in the MFC. Wish I was wrong but it is the impression he leaves me with. He obviously returned or took calls form Carlton last week.

Give green and bruce a break they aren't 100% fit. Matter of fact the whole team isn't fit to the standards of other clubs. Big pre season will be needed i think. Gary Ayres would be the next best thing for MFC if we can't get sheedy or voss.

Gary Ayres??? He would be at the bottom of my list.

I would love Sheedy and then Ratten. Voss can go to Carlton, would be better suited there i think.

Gary Ayres does have a good coaching record and has won premierships, Essendon has improved this year since he has been there. Atleast he is experienced. He wouldn't be the worst coach in the league and would blow some wind up our players ass which is needed. We need the hardest coach we can get, Get Tom Hafey to take pre season he'll get the buggers fit :lol:

No Ayres!!!

Sheedy and Hird would be a great combo with Hird to do his apprenticeship....

Did Mark Riley try anything left of centre yesterday - made no moves and let Port dictate all game........

Paul Wheatley on Chad Cornes was interesting but the result was very very predictable!

Nathan Brown on Peter Burgoyne - well we should have been playing with 21 men - cannot fault his passion but.....

daniel ward on???

unfortunatley, we have seen all that we can except for weetra and neville.....

surely we can forfeit the rest of the season!!

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
