  • 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.


The next 4 matches ...

Saying we can't judge Neeld 18 months in??

Jackson hit all the media today...TV & Radio, the changes will start..I could tell by his words he has a fair idea already.

I am listening to Neeld right now...he is a very proud man without the necessary experience.

That is a fact.

It's got to the stage where I actually feel sorry for him. I can barely look when he is speaking, and I fear for the even further humiliation he cops when he finally is removed. As it stands, he will go down in folklore as one of the worst coaches ever in modern football.

I do not blame Neeld at all...The Job is way to big for him...This is a 50 year job, that has finally hit the red line

Christ we needed Ross Lyon when he was there.....

I know about Jackson, even listened to him before the bounce at the game (addressed his connection with the AFL. Said the MFC contacted AD asking for if there were any experienced CEO's out there, AD called PJ and asked if he could forward his name, and the board elected him).

I think your looking into it a bit too much into his media blitz today and Neeld. Particularly considering he was saying we need to give Neeld time.

Jackson's experience showed 100% today... I rate him highly.

I rate Jackson very highly, The coaching job is too difficult for an inexperienced coach..that will not change.

His appointment of 2 Captains was the the first worry to me.

The players do not care...DRASTIC MEASURES ARE NEEDED

The Coach must go sadly.

Who will coach in between?

Mo money, mo problems... never thought I'd quote Biggie Smalls

Keep Neeld till CEO sorted and in between see who is out there.

We tried Viney before as an interim coach and that didn't go too well... there is always Craig, but again, more money.

no, we need a home base to just to get things slowly started.. too many temp fixes will not cover up our deficiencies.

We play @ the MCG, as this is our homeground.

But we need to get a Demons Hub, where we can build from the grassroots & up.

No other club is Nomadic, yet has a fixed address, is a Club, but isn't,,,, but rather an Organisation... & wonders why the supporter base is shrinking,,, & we've known about it since Ian Ridley took over....

Yet we still don't have a home base!

... this isn't just about this coach, or that coach, & a patchup job, this is about the fabric of what the club has become in a growing footy code, but we haven't moved a scintilla.... all the other Melbourne based Power Clubs have built their Clubs Hubs, Inc' the Catters down @ the hollow.

but we are just getting squeezed out because we don't have a true Identity, & a postal address on a Google Map. all who have run this club over the decades are 'OK', as they just walk into the MCC to celebrate, but they do Not think of what they can give the grass roots supporters ... they just want the money, & then say politely, "thankyou" & then turnaway,,, till next year.

FCS THIS CLUB NEEDS A COACH WITH EXPERIENCE.

A social hub will not win us games. Get the Footy right and the people will drink.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
