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.

Hi People

On the show Gerard Healy, Mike Sheahan, Robert Walls talked about how last week they had Ricky Nixon on and he is the manager of Brett Raten and gave away with out knowing that Brett Raten will get the job at the Blues next year.

Also Ricky Nixon is Chris Bond's manager and the other night Mike or Robert said that "Chris Bond has a pretty good chance of getting the Melbourne job" so I am thinking they got that from last week when they had his Manager there with them.

So it is looking good for me I want the guy to Coach our club and I would like him more than Sheedy.

Anyway I thought I would post this and let you all know.

Great win on the weekend.

Nope that was Rodney Eade's team.

Bond has been Assistant coach for 8 Years and in two of them were at Werribee and after getting Werribee into the Finals in his second year there he got promoted to an assistant at The WesternBulldogs.

I just don't think Sheedy is our future we need a new coach with new ideas and not someone who hates our club.

It honestly is quite simple the MFC will not be around in 5 years unless we get out act together...

The answer is get Sheedy to coach. He is quality a coach who will add life to the club and get us to be more stable....

He's alot older but by no means over it and when he moves on we can find an appropriate successor....

Give Sheedy the job now!!!!!

I value your opinion and I see where you are coming from however why would you want someone that hates our club to coach our team?

Remember for years he has been our Rivalry and my father tells me he has always hated the Melbourne FC.

But see in 5 years with someone other than Sheedy we will still be ok.

I mean look at Sheedy this year the Bombers are struggling.

But if you want a coach like Sheedy then why aren't people talking about Pagan? he is as good as Kevin or just a bit worse.

Remember Sheedy would cost alot of money for a 2 year contract and he won't sign for a 3 year deal.

I'm not having a go at anyone in particular, but I've heard this a few times - "Sheedy hates our club/hates Melbourne".

So what. Does anyone seriously think Matthews or Malthouse liked Collingwood when they were players? That Thompson didn't want to smash Geelong every time he played them? That Alistair Clarkson was on the Hawthorn bandwagon when he played for us and the roos?

Despite his quirks, Sheedy is as professional a coach as they come and IMO would be fantastic. Would he be the best option? No idea. I won't see the presentations the shortlist will make to the board so I'm not in a position to judge. Judging on his 27 year history with Essendon though, he would be no worse than a very good option.

Can't hold assistants fully accountable for losing a game, who is to say bond would play the same style/ system etc

good point but i'll offer up two examples because they are the only two i can think off...ross lyon and paul roos, and mark riley and ND...

both assistants, similar styles as previous coaches.

part of the reason im not interested in john longmire...

Fair point deanox, but with riley he didn't have a preseason to change the style so pretty much had to keep playing the same, also with the cattle he had too.

An interesting fact is that in the 4 games we have won we have kicked long, i can't remember the exact thing that was written in the Hsun on monday, but it did back up what we have all said, if he kick long, we win :)

Get me a coach that wants to kick long (not pagan like where thats all he wanted) and i will be happy.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
