  • 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.


What happens if we start 0-4 or 0-5

Before we all get too excited, I am playing devils advocate and just posing this as a possible scenario. Our first four games are against Syndey, Hawthorn, Brisbane and Gold Coast follwed by a bye in round 5. I would hope we would win at least 3 out of the first 4. What happens if we are 0 and 4???????

Bailey has rebult the team but when you listen to his press conferences over the last 3 years he continues to say the same thing. (IE to many turnovers, not enough inside 50's, skill level needs improvement etc etc). Isnt that his job to make sure we do improve. Sadly he is saying the same thing again this year (yes i know its only preseason).

Obviously we have a team that can compete and I know we are young and I know we have to be patient but there comes a time when we "the fans" need to see more improvement on the field. LESS TALK MORE ACTION.

If we start 0-4 (then after R5 we have a trip to Perth, could be 0-5) then Bailey needs to go. Replacement Leigh Matthew or Mick Malthouse or Paul Roos with G Lyon as Assistant.

Your thoughts?????????

Yeah but if Dean Bailey takes us to a flag I reckon we should mount a statue and name it the Golden Bailey of Supreme Righteousness.

We won't.

We'll be 2 & 2 after 4 games.

Everyone is entitled to free speech and as you're a new member and poster i don't want to discourage you sharing your opinions but it is very hard not to ask you what the point of this thread is?

We have a better pre season that last year but your already thinking of sacking Bailey?

Wow....

If we're 0-4 before the bye, we re-load during the bye and all systems go for round 6.

So you would be prepared to sack the coach, then and there after Round 4 ? Short sighted I think given our young list and their development.

I doubt any of the above mentioned replacements would be interested in dropping everything and taking over at Round 5/6.

Maybe Bin Laden himself is behind this post attempting to sap morale in this fair city. Losing to Brisbane and Gold Coast ???? Just what we hopeful supporters need.......A BIG DOLLOP OF NEGATIVITY !

Hypotheticals.

Fun.

I could go through this and make this look particularly ridiculous, but this post isn't worth it.

It hasn't met basic standards of common sense and reason, and is pure MFCSS.

I shall do exactly the same as if we are 5-0. I will support the team and go to each game with my heart in my mouth (isnt that what we do every game??). I will let the idiota in the media call for sackings and suggest unrest. I will watch this site to see which players get mauled here, and which ones are 'Lyonized'. And I will enjoy that it is FOOTY SEASON AGAIN!! Bring it on!!

Well, the this year's March fo Melbourne would make the Egyptian protests look like a walk in the park, it would start raining upwards and Tom Scully will bite the bullet and walk to Spain to take up an offer with Barca.

What a crap "what if?" thread. Are we going to write the articles and the headlines for the HS?

Hmmm...WHAT IF Skull, Gys, Trenners, Tappy, Davey etc... CLICK, overwhelming any attempt to tag all of them and deliver the ball to Watts, Jurrah, Green etc... with such precision and power they're left with an impression of the ball on their chests after the game and a bad case of leather contact dermatitis???

I would sack him after round 6 if we're winless. It's time that wins and losses count when assessing Bailey's performance.

He wouldn't survive any other league around the world if a 15-50-1 record actually got worse.

I wouldn't be making any moves regarding the coach unless we're bottom 4 as at round 15-16.

Even though I really like Bailey, I can't see him surviving if we go backwards from 12th this season

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
