  • 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.

There is an interesting note this morning on the MFC web site re the AGM.

It notes the meeting will be addressed by Don Mclardy, Cameron Schwab and Mark Neeld.

No mention of Big Jim.

This does not sound good or am I adding 2+ 2 and getting 5

You are spot on..Jimma will resign tonight.

Photos would be good to see if Schwabby has bulked up in the pre season on too much chinese.

Just arrived. Don McLardy paying tribute to Jim who gets a standing ovation. Jim had another operation today and specifically wanted to announce that he's stepping down tonight to fight his own battle. He told Don to let everybody know that he would see us all in round 1.

Russell Howcroft announced Don will be elected as President at a board meeting after the AGM. Guy Jelland & Peter Spargo are the VPs. Greg Healy will be the new football director.

That's it for the AGM. Everybody who contributed in the past was recognised and wished well including Dean Bailey, the players off the list, the doctors and others who have left the club.

Meeting closed but don't go away folks because there is another meeting to come concerning the footy part so it's inevitable we're going to get some more of Cam Schwab's shpiel on the red and blue print.

Nice speech from Cameron - he deserves more credit than what he's given. Also thanked Jim and acknowledged we need to take some important steps forward after a disappointing year on the field. Our integrity was questioned and we took the opportunity to rebuild the football department with a new coach and others who we have attracted. The playing group has significant potential and we have great determination as demonstrated by our president. We've ridden a few bumps and that's part of life in our competition.

We wanted to be the first club to appoint our coach and appoint a team around him - Neil Craig and the other new appointments to give our players the best chance to build great careers and our team to be judged by its results.

Mark Neeld - challenged the players requesting an elite work ethic and elite compliance. The reality is we're one of 18 clubs doing the same thing. We will by round 1 have done enough work to be able to compete.

We've changed the players' footy world. It's a footy university and the players are at different levels. New coaching group, new game plan. Mark Neeld can't guarantee where we'll be but we won't die wondering.

Leadership group selection process is difficult, tough and thorough. We'll pick the leadership group prior to the commencement of the NAB Cup.

Introduces the new players - starting with Mitch Clark. Neeld has a specific role as a key forward.

Tom Couch - strong inside midfielder.

James Magner - big arms.

James Sellar - tall, big, mature age.

Jai Sheehan - went to the same school.

Rory Taggert - great first impression at draft camp - inside mid.

Josh Tynan - has made a big impact. Fairly hard at it - needs to work on his hairstyle.

Leigh Williams - strong aggressive forward line player.

I'm shocked some supporters seem to be disappointed there was no sponsorship announcement...

When has a club ever announced a major sponsor at the AGM??

I don't think that anyone was expecting an announcement on who it would be.

A couple of words from Schwab would have been nice. eg 'we are in the final stages of a sponsorship deal'

Not that I really care too much. I have faith that we have something in the pipeline.

Just back.

Schwab did say when asked about sponsor that they were very confident of signing another major sponsor who is Chinese based close to deal BUT no signature yet

Went after talk and and asked Cam Schwab about the medical staff.

He said that a team of three doctors have been appointed and would be formally announced in the press soon

I also asked about how the seemingly complex off field structure was organized .The response was that each person had a defined role and that their job was to perform that role but specifically

Neil Craig reports to Cameron Schwabb and interestingly Neeld reports to Craig.

Also not sure if reported thatGreg Healy is the new Football director

Exactly. Wasn't expecting an announcement. Just some news on the progression.

    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

    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,
