  • 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.

Our midfield is shizne because we have three players in it with 3 games to their AFL record. We arent gonna in any games with that lineup as much as I reckon all three are gonna be good value long run.

I'd target Adrian Fletcher at the end of the year. He's had experience at quite a few clubs and has had a long stint with the Lions and has helped re-build their midfield to be a competitive outfit again. I'd like to see what Clark, Hogan and Dawes could do with a midfield on a par with the current Brisbane engine room. Like ours it doesn't possess any big names but they work hard and stick to their structures and win plenty of contested ball. There spread from stoppages has been impressive over the last 12 months. I've heard Fletcher speak at a coaching course and was very very impressed.

If so where do we move him? We've already got Connolly and Viney in sideways roles.

And does anyone at all expect any difference?

I've heard he's going to take over Dr Bate's role

There might be some truth to this.

The following is an excerpt from the article on the official website about strengthening the ties between Casey and MFC.

"On match day, Nichol is also the Casey backline coach and Melbourne forward line development coach Paul Satterley is also the Casey forward line coach. Melbourne midfield coach Aaron Greaves also works closely with Casey midfield coach Steve O’Brien, and provides feedback at games.

Throughout the article, the other MFC assistant/development coaches (ie, Nichol and Satterley) are mentioned as such. Greaves, however, is referred to as the Melbourne midfield coach - not as the assistant midfield coach.

Suspect it's no accident.

If this is true, how long has Greaves been in the role? We certainly showed no signs of structure improvement in the midfield last week. Still horribly disorganised.

It isn't true, it is a BS rumour and people are starting to look like idiots by buying into it.

    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,
