  • 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.

Mark Williams - a great option

Mark Williams is a great footy guy, plenty of ticker, a smart tactician and has the fire in the belly to ruffle few feathers here and there. The longer the discussions go with Essendon, j feel we need to pick him up on our way up. We have lost premiership experience in wellman. I could not see a better pick up out there. While we are improving I feel we need the pure mongrel of Williams, not saying Bailey doesn't have it, but would it not great to have more?

but who knows what his attitude is.

No. Just No.

He fluked a flag, and has overseen a divided club since he went to port.

Williams is about Williams, pure and simple. The MFC is a very tight group atm. Keep it that way and leave Williams well alone.

No one flukes a flag, from memory he finished on top twice aswell.

We cannot expect our players to simply get better by osmosis, we need to innovate and be ahead of the curve, not saying they are gone but Geelong was so far of everyone it was not funny, now 2 sides have their measure and more to come.

If you are not moving forward you are going backward.

Seems to me like the kind of bloke who would struggle being second fiddle to someone else. Also appears a little loose and wirey. I'd rather go for someone with a little more decorum.. a Laidley type. "Allan Scott, you were wrong", no Mark Williams- sore winners and people who publicaly humiliate club sponsors are wrong, and ipso facto that makes you wrong!

The guy has about five kids and would cost us some serious coin. I just don't think he'd bring enough to justify that. Bailey has plenty of mongrel about him and doesn't need someone like Choco to provide it. Agree that Laidley would be a much better option. He's a thinker and ferocious competitor. But again, I don't think Bailey needs someone to hold his hand. Just good assistants.

In what capacity? 'Director of coaching'?

Past his used by date IMO.

Agree.

I'd like to see as much innovation in our coaching department as there is in every other department of the club. I want to see more growth and development in this area of our club. I fear we think it will just happen.

And Williams is the answer or is this just whinge #101?

That is such a Brilliant Photo!!! Deserves a download i reckon.

What an MCG moment, as far as entertainment goes, it's up there with Angry and the Batmobile!!

It was embarrassing and he made a goose of himself when the world was his oyster.

He could have basked in the glory of his victory but chose to do so in a vindictive, unprofessional and immature fashion. Its no wonder he burnt so many bridges at Port.

I can tell you the story of what he said to Chris Johnson on his way out.

I love it.

Others don't think it was proper.

I think that if you don't want to play for this club you can get (oh, that is censored!) .

I also think that if you rock up to training in your MFC gear after your agent has informed the club of your decision, you can get double (oh my, even more censored!) .

Bringing in Williams will be destabilising.

3 losses in a row and the fans see this Premiership coach sitting there waiting to take over.

I want us to get a really good, young defensive coach from a pool of applicants.

You know, the way good clubs do it...

Is that what you think, or is that what Bailey said?

I'm sure I heard at the time, but I can't recall the exact details.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
