  • 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.

I have been told today that Paul Satterley current coach at Werribee has been appointed to our coaching panel.This rumour has been passed on by a current Werribee player (see background to Slats where he coached with Neeld at Western Jets,http://www.sportingpulse.com/club_info.cgi?client=1-118-10455-102874-9815582&sID=56269&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=13582180&sectionID=56269 )

Interesting JCB. He took the partially affiliate club with Nth Melb to the Preliminary Final this year in his first year as senior coach of Werribee. They finished well outside the eight last year with Simon Atkins as coach. Good communicator I understand.

Yes HT- a very good communicator and developer.I wouldn't be surprised if he even took over the reigns at Casey. However, my informant says he has taken a role as a line assistant-- whatever that role is... maybe as a assistant to a BACKLINE coach .My informat is very surprised as he met with him last night to discuss playing with the Tigers next year. Slats is signed to coach in 2012 therefore must have a clause in his contract.

Yeah I see that on the link. Two year contract. From what I understand this was Werribee's first full time senior coach.

What about Gotch/Casey ?

I think Brad is expecting to move on...

Correct- his contract is finished both as a Developing coach at the MFC & Casey. However, just confirmed from source /contact that it is a Ass.Line role--whatever that means.

It's purely an assumption, but from that I assume that the quoted "8 FT coaches" does not include blokes like Dunbar, Viney or O'Donnell.

Rather we will have a setup with a senior coach across all lines - centre, back and forward - and each of those wil have an assistant.

If so, surely it is a proactive and innovative setup.

In any case, I hope we get Gary Ayres as an assistant.

Unless he has some issues with taking orders, I imagine he'll be highly sought after.

With Brian Royal in charge,our midfield is going backwards next season.

last time I looked Neeld was in charge of the whole shooting match and Im lead to believe he has had some success with a current midfield,

How can you possibly say that?

Highly respected in the industry .... midfield coach at St Kilda in 2010.....

Also the new Coach was the Mid Field Coach in the premiership team - He should know if Royal can coach a midfield

DERP!

Honestly, how would we know?

West was an excellent addition 12 months ago and a disaster 2 weeks ago.

Royal is an experienced assitant coach who has worked under many different coaches and thinks Bailey was soft on the guys.

That's good enough for me at this stage.

So Brad is moving into a "Greaves" type role at the MFC or another club?

100% correct.

I have no idea how good our assistants were in 2011.

At the end of the day they do not run out on the ground to play.

what will be his domain ?

Cannot confirm role but as already stated Slats would be an Assistant to a line role..I guess as an Assistant backline coach.

I am guessing here but I assume

We will have Back line coach & An Assistant,Forward coach and an Assistant,Midfield coach and an Assistant.

Senior coach and a Senior Assistant coach along with the developing squad coaching team.

This is what I believe Mark wants to put in place.

Thanks for the heads Up Monster Head

HIs CV is impressive reading.

One thing that is very clear Neeld knows exactly who & what he wants!

Gee trying to outdo me re your Avatar OMR.. Re Satterley, I agree with your point regarding CV..I like that he has gave up a promising business career for his passion only 1 year ago- therefore would be totally committed to job on hand.

Isn't that nepotism...

That's bad.

Not really. It is just filling your coaching panel with people you already know can do the job you need them to. You need people who are receptive and conducive to your management style. People unknown to you can be good also, like a fresh pair of eyes and an intelligent counter if needed. Trust however takes time to build, and until it is built, sometimes the lack of it can slow the output and hinder the achievement of team goals. So ... put in people you know so you can avoid the trust building issue.

    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,
