  • 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.


Herald Sun reports Gysberts to be shown the door...Neeld has gone mad!!!

I could not agree more. A coaches main role is to get the most out of his players. What ever way you look at it Neeld does not have the ability to do this. He has lost the playing group. I have it on good authority that 15 of our 45 are investigating their options to leave, the exitist will take years of recruiting to repair, we are destined to the bottom 4 for at least another 3 years. Neeld has destroyed their confidence and thus the players ability. What a disaster Neeld is.

Neeld is the worst mistake our club has made since sacking Norm Smith. I have already put money on the Dees for the wooden spoon next year.

The board must fire him leave and leave Neil Craig in charge before more players leave. Who in their right mind would want to come and play for Melbourne.

I beg the board to fire Neeld.

HAHAHAHAHA,

this guy , pantsman and hard whatever his name is have the biggest boner for Neeld. Did neeld nail their women or something. i love it, its so entertaining.

Neeldy is doin' the Spring Clean, and practicing his new responsibilities. May take him a little to get used to, but He'll get the hang of It, I'm sure.

[media=]

Two things from the cartoon that seem to fit our coach:

1. Daph has Mark Neeld eyes! :blink:

2. We are in for one hell of a ride...can't wait! ;)

It's a BIG Job sorting out our Ingrown Culture, & this culture is all about,,,, everwhere. The Staff, the MCC, everywhere, but people won't be aware of it or how they contribute to it.

We'll be trying to quell it for a decade from the club, but Neeldy can do what he's doing with the players & List & try to control it from that End.

We need to start it as he is, but Our young players need to adhere to the Value systems & Behave to the standards... If not they should come clean & speak the the playing group & the Footy dept, & taker whats coming.

This is a monster were taking on, but it's the only thing we can do.

Those already infected & are mostly past there footy, should go to a strong cultured club to see out there time.

When we get this culture thing tamed, we will start to be able to develop young recruits into fine footballers again. Leave the off field careers stuff & hobnobbing, till they're 25 Yrs, please.

You were a fan of Cook weren't you, wasn't you that said he'd be a good player for us? What do you think he has to do to improve?

A work rate that key forwards need to have to be a success, a thirst for the contest, a desire for body contact and a huge amount of improved body strength.

I haven't seen a copy of the new CBA, but the previous version had a clause that you could not trade a recently re-contracted player. I'd assume the clause would continue in the new CBA.

So does this make it another pathetic and ridiculous Hun rumour?

My understanding is that rule was pretty toothless and just said the player had to agree to be traded - which they have to anyway.

Yep, You might be right.

Anyway as jnrmac mentioned, if he was only re-contracted 2 months ago, so why would either party have changed their mind?

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
