  • 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.

Get Matthew Lloyd as a coach?

If we need better assistant coaches then Neil Craig will inform the club.

We have very little idea of how line coaches are travelling. The buck doesn't stop with them, and they aren't the ones floundering on the field.

But I'd take Lloyd.

I'd put the weak-kneed fairy at FF...

I think Royal will be gone next year, and we might even see Greaves step into his position.

I have some personal experience with him and really rate the guy.

I understand the footy dept do too.

Thanks! Great post. Best laugh I've had in years.

You humour too easily.

Lloyd's record is far superior to Leigh Browns. That includes 3 Coleman medals.

People are too quick to write him off as a self-indulgent know-it-all..

I rate him and would welcome him at the Demons.

Matthew Lloyd, the most robotic man imaginable as our coach? I'd rather him come out of retirement to play for us

I think the idea is to possibly have him providing some input.

If I can borrow a line from Rhino Richards, "thanks for missing the point."

I would think the most sensible approach would be to hire a coach that has just left the AFL system

Brown IMO was a good choice

Champion's on the field has very little to do with being able to teach and analyze football

The bulldogs coach is a good example of that

IMO Ling would be the first person i would have approached

It is far from the problem on the field this season

The problem with Melbourne is WORK RATE

When you see it we are competitive when you don't we get smashed

You cannot coach attitude

Ling wanted time away from the game but he would be the first person I would approach next season as midfield coach.

Lloyd's 2 greatest 'acts' of strength would have to be sniping knocking out Sewell, and attempting to knock out Woewodin (but missing and knocking out Blake Caracella instead).

What football advice could he provide? Stand in the goalsquare and get Hird, Long, etc to kick the ball to you and have it hit you on the chest every time.

Also, why on earth would we hire a forward coach when the ball never gets in there, and when it does it is at the feet of the 200cm+ full forward we have bought?

LOL. A bloke who can barely string 2 words together?

Watching his 'reviews' I get the feeling he has written them on a napkin the night before and had a glance through the dictionary as not to sound like a full retard.

This bloke is a waste of space, being a good player doesn't make you a good media analyst. And especially doesn't make you a good coach.

Love,

What irony.

Your comments.

Coleman medals, premierships, media career etc.

You?

Even Mick took a long time at Collingwood. And Im sure Neeld talks to his old mate a fair bit.

Mick is apparently around the club. According to his comments during the Geelong game, he's mentoring Davey.

Lets not forget his courage when smashing in the face of Hawthorn 3rd gamer Thurgood with his fibreglass 'arm guard'.

Not sure the kid ever played again.

Not around the club, Davey just meets Mick for a coffee occasionally, usually at his house, from what I have heard.

Get Billy onboard - he can start the 'get your D's out for the Dees' chant again (Yep, in 2005 two girls in a van flashed their boobs after a Demons win at the G and boy did it cap off a good night).

Shows us how little we know about what these guys can and cant deliver.I have always thought of Brownless as a buffoon. Yet Stevie J credits him for single handedly making him the player he is today.Hey Billy - wanna take Col Sylvia under your wing ?

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
