    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.

How about Simon Black's midfield coach?

old dee

What we need is a player like black. I believe the problem is players way more than line coaches

I love the idea of getting Black down, i wonder if he would be worth considering on a one year deal as a playing coach like Luke power at GWS? Would give us some great on field experience and a short term contribution leading into a coaching career with what should be a good emerging midfield

As soon as I saw Black on the news tonight I said lets get him as a midfield coach. Brownlow medalist, 3 flags and norm smith plus im assuming all Australian. Fresh out of the game he would be perfect. Imagine what Viney and Toumpas and both Jacks could learn off him.

He would be way better then Royal.

Good suggestions here fellas. I like the list of (in order):

1. Ling

2. Ratten

3. Junior

4. Black

(Of course it's a list of those who are a possibility, not a dream list as such)

Studies seriously think you should display a GIF to back up your theory?

Unconfirmed rumour on Triple M that Black is set to retire from the Lions and take a up an assistants role at the Swans...

11.45am: Radio station Triple M Brisbane is reporting, via an unnamed source "deep inside the Brisbane Lions", that Simon Black is set to retire and take up an assistant coaching role at the Sydney Swans.

The report is unconfirmed at this stage.

Dew has been offered a "beefed up" midfield coaching role, so if he stays is Black going to be his assistant; I wonder.

It seems now that Dew has signed on at the Swans, it will pave the way for Black to join the Dees as midfield coach/ Successor

Not really. Dew moved from stoppages to midfield coach taking Tudor's role. Black can move into Tudor's old role as stoppages coach. They are the kind of successions we would like to make.

You mean Black to take over Dew's old role? If that were to be the case and Black took over Dew's old role as well as signing Dew and Buddy, then we really must be going up against some serious brown paper bag shenanigans.

I'm suspicious of Black or even Brown's credentials for coaching.

The recent attempted exodus of young talent is apparently due to a lack of empathy and an inclusive culture, mainly from the senior player leadership.

I think if either of these supposed leaders had any potential as coaches, they probably should have avoided this scenario entirely.

They may not have been able to do it on their own, but they should have been driving it.

Yes sorry that's what I meant. And I wouldn't think so. Most players, no matter how good don't take over line coaching straight away. They usually go into development. Taking over the swans stoppages would be a respected position considering the talent available. Despite the COLA it seems Sydney is a great place to live (particularly short term) and it's not like Black is short of cash. If I was him and wanted to coach it would almost be the perfect first job. Could move and be a more senior assistant and midfield coach down the track on way to senior job

Latest on Black if you've not read it yet.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-16/black-call-imminent

Born in QLD, raised in WA, played for Brisbane, started his coaching career at MFC?

I admit that idea of Black becoming a coach is purely based on the logic that he's played over 300 games, won three flags, bagged a Brownlow and a Norm Smith medal along the way and is a 3 time All Australian and club Captain.

As far as retired players looking to move into coaching, there's hardly a better candidate. A fair chance Leppa keeps him at Brisbane as a coach if he decides not to play on but if that doesn't happen I would be very impressed to have at Melbourne.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
