  • 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.

If he was really gutted he'd put his hand up to coach...

How many times does he have to tell you that he doesn't bloody want to coach

What makes you think that he would make a coaches a....hole

He was a champion footballer which doesn't equal champion coach.

What does it take for you to realise that he will never coach.

Thanks for stating the obvious Gaz.

I wish he hadn't added to wait and reserve judgement until after the Tigers game though...

Yeah what exactly does that mean!!! I had my judgement after the Brisbane game - we should never of lost that!

Aah yes the old MFC "Faith in next week" we make an art form about not worrying about today. Helps to always deflect blame.

Politicians live by it!

The only thing I got out of that article is that it is now confirmed Greg Healy is the Footy Operations Manager - previously this had been raised but wasn't confirmed.

They have probably been a little busy lately but I rang the club two weeks ago to confirm that Healy was on the board.

And was told he has been since the AGM in early February.

He his still not listed on the MFC web site as a director.

Yes that is a positive isn't it - we've managed to irradicate the week on week off inconsistencies of last year.

And on to the much improved "week off week off"

Gary knows it's a mates club. He's one of them and lacks guts IMO because he wants his say but prefers to wear his media hat instead of his MFC beenie. He's smart enough not to drink from the poison chalice that is the MFC coaching job but ready to give it to someone like Neeld who is an outsider and expendable. If he does well Gary will share in the glory. If he fails then no big deal because it's the " same old, same old" and no doubt he will step in again to make the next move. Somehow I don't think he would ever go against his mates if it mean't they had to go to get this club running and proud again. If Eddie can be a larger than life media identity and successful club president, why can't Gary do he same?

Well i think, if you are right, there will be a showdown of sorts because the 30-40,000 people who have been members during the last 4 years will not put up with the tripe we have been served lately for too much longer.

The Boys have got to get on, or be moved on...The Club is bigger than us all.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
