  • 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.


WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Apparently Roos has been approached by Brisbane club officials already.

I told you all that weeks ago, I knew then he was not coming to the Dees.

Not that I blame him.

Who would you rather coach?

AFL trade rumours has Lions announcing Roos today as coach. Either way he's not coming to us so let's move on.

They also said it was scheduled for 10am. However, Voss was speaking to the press at 12.

Doubt the lions are that pathetic to overshadow Vossys presser with more important news.

He was approached about 4 wks ago.

Had no idea it was that long ago.

I don't blame Roos for holding out. He is doing well for himself in the media and if I was him I'd rather go to Brisbane.

Me Too Pj

Just heard Jon Ralph on SEN say Roos told him at 8.30pm Last night that he Roos had not accepted the Lions job.

Claimed Roos told me they approached him weeks ago like the MFC and he gave them the same answer.

So you have got me

I give up.

ahhh Did I ever tell you guys about my youth and the many nights spent solving the universe's problems at the end of the pier along from the breakwater ?? Full esky of green tinnies... :)

NO ?? ahhh Apollo Bay :)

It would be a real shame - we are so close to 100 pages

Couldn't we just ramble on about nothing for a bit ........ oh wait

I have it on good authority Roos was spotted at the Bay Leaf cafe celebrating buying a house in Apollo Bay in anticipation of his move to Melbourne, Wet Coke and Brisbaaane.

I think Mrs Roos has spoken

game over

(thankgod, now we can someone who's actually interested )

ROO"S has released a statement this morning

my wife and I have walked to the end of the breakwater and we were disgusted in the amount of empty beer cans dumped in the ocean

my wife also commented that the weather was to cold for a woman of her distinction

we also thought the cappacinos were not up to our standard at the fig leaf café

and last but not least demonland needed 2 more pagesw to get this thread over the 100 mark

end statement

This clubs drowning, no President or coach, how are we meant to trade and delist, doesn't seem to be much happening behind the scenes at the moment , players aren't signing contracts and a club like Brisbane is on the ball, it's a [censored] joke and as a paid up member it would nice to now if something positive is happening, I'm more worried about who's going to step up and be president, I hope this PJ is on the ball because our club is miles off the pace.

Don't know if this has been covered already, but wasn't it stated earlier in this thread that we were talking to someone currently in the senior coaching position at another club... perhaps it was Voss? ;-)

My bet for this rumour would be Worsfold, who wouldn't be such a bad pick up although I think Choco would be a better candidate.

Rodney Eade 2yr contract with Adam Simpson as understudy ......-happy with that

Yes would be very happy, is that what you want or have heard.

Paul Roos is the only one who can sort this mentally shot list.

Bailey was to soft, although he had his hands tied by the admin.

Neeld completely obliterated what he gad.

Mclardy gave him "carte blanche"....

According to 360 on Fox last night, Roos is likely bound for Brisbane Lions.. I would rather put my money on that... May be the reason Voss is walking today... That's why he was "playing" with MFC....... just saying... :).

Thats is the Rumour just posted by 'AFL Trade Rumours 2013'

Looking at Eade's coaching stats:

Took the Swans to 5 Finals series in 7 Years including 1 GF (54% winning record)

Took the Dogs to 4 Finals series in 7 Years including 3 Prelims (55% winning record)

Imagine winning more games than we lose!!

Apparently we're interviewing Eade this week (ahead of schedule), so the rumour mill might be jumping the gun a bit (imagine that!).

Well it must be behind Collingwoods back.

It would have to be, they wouldn't let him do it after the Neeld fiasco and announcing earlier this season that they wouldn't let anyone interview until the end of the season. It's fair enough too, if we were in the race for the finals I'd want all staff 100% focussed on our campaign.

Most impressive is that the Doggies were less resourced than even us and he was still able to make them one of the best teams in the comp

not to mention arguably the best team to watch , on their day they were breathtaking

Lets hope the pies get knocked out the finals quickly, if they make the GF it could cause major headaches for us.

I'd struggle to process us winning more than 3 games at this stage

    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,
