  • 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.

Are you saying that if a coach has his side sitting in the lower echelons for a few years that he's going to come under pressure? What a ground-breakingly, staggeringly brilliant piece of insight. C

I reckon Neeld will revolutionise Melbourne and be the turning point in our history, he may not be the coach who takes us all the way (or he might) but he will change the way we approach football and

Please please take that bet Thaipantsman wherever you are. Do anyone who hasn't already blocked you a favour.

Sorry for taking the thread off-topic...

The blocking tool has gotten a massive workout since I discovered it about a month ago. This site is now much easier to read without having to wade through the useless contributions of the mentally feeble and hysterical rantings of the loonies.

another forelock tugger!

Maybe you'd prefer to appoint our coaches on a 6 monthly basis, so we could get rid of a couple a year when they don't work out? Why don't you stick to selling pants to fish, you'd probably do better at that.

And you reckon I'm a forelock tugger.

yes! You seriously think Neeld is Melbourne FC's saviour?

Can you read? Way to miss the point genius. I said he should see out his 3 year contract - that's hardly proclaiming him savior of the club. Sacking him before that wouldn't even give him the chance to prove himself a dunce like yourself & the cabal of dullards ruining these boards think he is.
If that's true better start looking for another club to follow!
Unlike yourself I don't turn on the club & can critically assess someones performance based on facts, not my own set of unrealistic expectations & gut feelings. As I stated earlier this club will be just about dead if we sack Neeld after 5 minutes in the chair. I'm Melbourne til I (or it) die(s) I wont follow another club, Thanks for your interest though.

Maybe you'd be best served not following the Bangkok Bongs so arduously?

He deserves to coach it out to end of 2013 and lets see if he's any good or just hot air.

The only hot air around this subject is the methane emanating from your mouth.

AFL

Malthouse won't travel to coach

th-svMALTHOUSE-90x60.jpg

Jon Pierik Mick Malthouse interested in coaching again, but not at Port Adelaide

So? Do you really think Malthouse will want to coach us if we stab his former 2IC in the back, 5 minutes in, after he himself put him forward for the Dees job?

Go the Bangkok Bongheads!

Coot, are you suggesting that this club follow basketcase Pork Powder in a race to the bottom?

The warning for Neeld is don't be crap? Don't be employed by a club that refuses to give you any FD or recruiting money or full say in list management? Don't be employed by a club that expects chicken salad after giving you chicken [censored] as your main ingredient? Don't accept a two year deal as a rookie coach? Don't be the first coach to lose to both start up sides?

Plenty of prophetic warnings for Neeld there, Nostradamus. Hopefully the MFC board don't have the same delusions of granduer as the Port board (& presumably you) & Neeld is judged on his 3 years.

Do people who make these asinine suggestions even think about the consequences? If the MFC board was to sacrifice another coach at the altar next year, would there be any credible coach interested in taking the reigns at our own basketcase? Quite frankly, you would be worried about anyone who was interested.

The AFL would just about shut us down.

So true. Oh yeah, sack a new coach after 18 games, or one season, and just get Malthouse or Roos or some other premiership coach who has suddenly developed a death wish and are lining up at the door to be the next sacrificial bunny!!! Edited by monoccular

Neeld is the coach of the MFC for 2013 and 2014.

Is he any good?

I seriously doubt more than 1% of Demonlanders have the slightest idea.

I certainly don't.

What I am confident of is that we have a fairly poor list.

Neeld or whoever is going to take at least the next two years to make any worthwhile change to that.

We have no choice but to sit tight and go with the blows.

I hope we show some improvement in 2013.

But all the talk about Mark Neeld is at this point a waste of time and produces nothing but division.

Lets just back him to get us out of the hole we are currently in.

I question the statement that we have a fairly poor list - yes, there is a lot of work to do, but that is a coach's challenge.

At this stage I have seen no evidence that Neeld is that coach. You may well be correct in saying that we are wasting time in discussing this, but sometimes I believe circumstances call for drastic action.

The evidence is in front of the trained eye - there is no room for blind faith in this situation.

Should we just rely on blind ignorance then? Give it a rest.

    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
