  • 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.

anyone think Neale Daniher or one of the Daniher brothers could coach essendon next year if Knights gets the sack?

dark horse

I think he would be good choice. Very good coach for us but I suspect Mark Williams may get it. Shame for Knights. I think he's gone. Not that I care much for them. I'd like to see them struggle for a long time like we have.

Neale would tick all the boxes but Chocko probabaly has first shot . Marty ... Take the money and save yourself the grief; Essendon are rabble at present .

Maybe Ron Barassi when the court case has finished, with Tommy Hafey as fitness coach, I have more chance of being appointed Essendon coach (I think) than Daniher, although I think the strangeness that Sheedy brought to his last few years there has infected everybody else.....as an aside I have two Bombers members where I work who have ripped up their memberships and have no intention of renewing next year

I would rate ND as a good get for the Bombers. I thought his record at MFC was pretty good, and I am suprised that his name doesn't pop up more often when clubs are in the market. Plus he would be loved at Essendon. I would like to see the reverend get a new gig and do well... But not too well.

Wasn't Neale overlooked for Knights the first time?

Possibly they thought Knights might have been their shiny armored variety..... probably think differently now ??

Neale, no, I don't think so.

IMO, Hird was asked to sway reluctant board members, but, as yet it hasn't happened, YET.

Hird is a chance, But would have to do it NOW, (whilst ReBuilding) learning over the next 2 seasons on the Job, with Williams overseeing.

Or. Bomba Thompson Would be a good get for either 2011, Or 2012 onwards.

Failing Bomba,,, then Sanderson for next year, you couldn't go past.

I don't think Dean, would leave what he's started, but watch Sean Wellman & Westy.

I think Knights is OK. But, no young coach, with No prior results on the board, that isn't from 'within', would struggle through a rebuild phase. But, how do we know, that, thats what they planned, all along.

He's had to battle the devisions of a club & board in transition, from a couple of decades of stable "SheedyIsm". The shadows following him where dark.

ND biggest problem is his inability to make the tough decision. He isn't anywhere near aggressive enough on the players that don't perform. When you're like that, you can struggle to get the best out of players, which he did (see Brad Green).

Neale Daniher could be the coach Essendon needs.

Pros

Builds a bond with and between players - an Essendon priority

Has personal Essendon history and connections - an apparent Essendon priority

Handles club politics calmly - an Essendon priority

Get's the most out of 'ordinary' players - an Essendon must-have ;)

Cons

Might not have gotten the best out of higher-level players - not much of an issue at Essendon!

And the big question, how might he have gone with all the resources of a big club at hand?

How will he go delegating to the best assistant coaches money can buy?

Remember that he now has a couple of years of experience as a footy manager at Freo to add to his ten years at the Demons.

The question is, does he have the desire to finally grab the premiership that injury cruelly, and the Bombers ironically, denied him as a player then coach?

Does he want to coach ?

What is ND's record like involving the development of players ?

Didn't he once look after some list of a Victorian team ? :rolleyes: lol wasn't particularly reknown for bringing the kids on; development probably not his long suit !! ;)

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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,
