    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.

Why not Mark Neeld?

Don't know if a topic has been started about Mark Neeld if it has I'm sorry but I really hope our club has a chat to him. He has been at the most successful club both on and off field of at least 4 years now. In many ways he has brought in some of the things that have taken the pies to a new level. He gets glowing endorsements from Mick and also Collingwood players. Which I think could help us getting an A grade midfielder in the name of Scott Pendlebury. Please read. http://www.heraldsun...f-1226114058203 Fanasty land maybe...

This is what worries me I think I have heard that he's interested in the Adelaide job. Why not ours? Have we put out the wrong message by saying we only want proven coaches. I don't want another Dean Bailey and I understand the need for an experienced coach but if we get Rodney Eade I'm outta here...

His club at the moment don't understand how to either DO the press or BEAT the press. He has always struggled to win a big final and that's not because he hasn't had the cattle because he has, he's had some champions of the game. Also I look at his assistans and I think he builds a weak team behind him because he likes to be the strong front man with a lot of say.

Also had a mate that played under him at the doggies and said it's a boys club. Once your in your in it's hard for you to get out. If your out then he hardly EVER talks to you. Didn't even tell him he was delisted. A assistant coach did. Don't ask me who my mate is, he was on the primary list for 4 years and hated the last 3 because of him.

2 questions.

Would you like Mark Neeld?

Would you disappointed with Rodney Eade?

Yeah I reckon he is the one to go after. I reckon we need someone like him. We dont have to go out and get a senior coach. Malthouse will be at the pies next year, Clarko will stay at the hawks and I dont think Rocket will help us. I like him but I think we need someone who is an assistant at the moment. It has worked with Chris Scott at Geelong, although he does have a talented list to work with.

But mark has had years of experience under Malthouse and even Bucks. He would have learned so much at collingwood and knows how to structure a premiership team. Anyway im sure there are others that will come from left field.

A dual role I think we need - someone very experienced such as a Pagan or a Laidley with a Neeld as joint coaches would be great--

A senior for strategy/ tactician- Neeld for hands on player movement role. I do think Bails was very good as a on the boundary coach but was terribly weak as a tactician /game play maker.If not we need to make someone like Connolly as a tactician to assist the likes of Neeld if indeed we take him on.IMO- Neeld would be near perfect for our needs now.I was at the Collingwood match against St Kilda in the media area just behind Collingwoods bench at Etihad Friday night and gee I thought he was fantastic the way he controls him team.

Neeld has definitely interested me. Would prefer Mick Malthouse.

The way things are going at Port, I'm wondering if they will be entering the coaching market.

My order of preferences:

Malthouse

Neeld

Burns

I agree on Port, HT.

I think they're beginning to realise that they made a mistake, hurriedly appointing Primus after a few wins.

But then again, they may keep him as they have bigger problems.

Haysman is gone, and now the SANFL is trying to get rid of Duncanson, so that the SANFL will have full control of Port.

Losing the CEO, president and coach all in the space of a year can't be good.

Pagan? No thanks... Been out of the game too long and was disgusting at Carlton in his last years. Wouldnt mind Laidley to help but not senior

Carlton in Pagan's last years made the VFL look good because of a lot of the salary cap breach stuff, remember that.

Nevertheless, agree on the too-long-out-of-the-game stuff.

1. No - We dont need another assistant Coach - Note Daniher & Bailey

2. Yes - I don't think Rocket is the correct bloke. Experianced premiership success as a Head Coach is non negotiable

To me Neeld would be our No 1 Target.

He has been given massive endorsement from Premiership coach in Malthouse and Premiership players.

To me that speaks volumes.

This man is ready to coach now. Geez he is experienced and coaching the best midfield in the land.

Bring him on.

Plus comes with no baggage.

First time coaches are fine, Look at Scott & Hirdy

Why settle for the apprentice when the master is likely to be availiable in October?

Bailey was an assistant at Port and Essendon and both clubs won premierships. Bailey - lovely bloke and all - was a dud coach. Todd Viney was an assistant coach at Hawthorn in a premiership year. Too early to make any call on Todd but Melbourne don't seem that different in the past 2 weeks. Proximity to a successful coach doesn't mean an assistant will be successful. The Scott twins are clearly 2 bright blokes. No need for Neeld. Do agree with the opposition to Eade. Fifteen years of failure. Melbourne has enough baggage without adding his.

Yes, anyone but Rodney Eade, he has had 12-13 years as a coach and not done much, his teams always have a soft side and are never quite good enough. If we get Eade I'm outta here too.

    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,

    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
