  • 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.

Roos to melbourne is starting to hot up i believe. Been saying all along that Roos was never going to coach us but was told yesterday Roos was put off by the Lions in the way they handled Voss situation and how his name was basically used as part of Voss sacking. Dont get sucked in by the the media saying Brisbane and Roos is basically a done deal. We are very much still in the race!

Absolutely spot. The fact Mike Sheehan son tim tweeted as early as round 2 about us talking to Roos was also true. AFL phone Roos and put in a case for him to come back to coaching. Neeld was a dead m

To all on here, STOP HYPERVENTALATING! Roos made it very clear that he would not interrupt the celebrations of the 2013 season by formalising his appointment before the B&F. No doubt WC will put

A certain manager of a certain high profile, high draft pick who's contract is up, has told me that it has been confirmed to him by our club that Roos will be coach. This story has played true since

Don't know how much u can read into this but they had that male version of Julia Gillard aka Brisbanes Chairman Johnson on afl360 saying that he is EXTREMELY happy where things are at coach wise.

Both Geraldo and Robbo said he is gone considering Leigh Mathews was going to challenge him and the board and have a fresh go at Roos.

Not a chance that the MFC is a better prospect then Brisbane, the playing group alone would get you over the line. The only thing going for the MFC at the moment is the greatest challenge in football and that the AFL is involved. We're the epitome of incompetence at the moment.

Thankfully Paul Roos knows the importance of a strong board, it creates a strong foundation to success, certainly the right decisions get made from the top.

If our board is absolutely in order - and Brisbane's board isn't - then Roos will be at MFC before Brisbane, regardless of playing lists.

Sydney WERE NOT and ARE NOT a successful club because they have the best talent...

The players at Sydney play great football because they are in the right environment - an environment created from the top on down.

Brisbane's board are a rabble at the moment and the MFC have a leg up, we have PJ and if we can get Walsh on board - Roos would be mad not to follow.

Throw in the prospect of Hogan, Aish, PP? and a pick 20 and Roos would see a great opportunity.

Our forward and backline will be solid in 2014, we just need a quality midfielder and we also have talent to develop.

MFC is a great opportunity and that is why Eade and Choc are keen and I believe that Roos is holding out till our board is right.

Probably wont't be Roos, coach will sign when team is finished with finals. Must have given the nod on Fitzy and indicated that Flash will no longer be required.

Spoken to Cameron Ling and Adam Simpson also, any serious Coach would want to handpick his assistants

It seems to be starting to add up as some posters have said...

- Ling has had a few chats.

- We have approached some other assistants for possibly a 'senior assistant' role. Simpson, Ayres. etc.

- Brissy are now interested in Craig.

- List changes are happening as we speak, Joel MacDonald and Aaron Davey have been informed of their 2014 contracts.

- Fitz is required, rather than used as trade bait.

Gut feeling is that choco may have got the nod... Eades movements don't suggest its him, and Roos doesn't come across as a blatant liar.

Personally, I would be very happy with choco + a simpson, ling, hayes or ayres..

We will find out some time throughout the finals series I would say.

List decisions are being made because you have to make decisions, not because we have our coach and he is whispering what to do.

The easy decisions are being made and the tougher ones will be made once we have a coach I am sure, but don't mistake a list decision as anything deeper than an easy list decision done by a club that has some easy decisions to make.

I think you'd find Viney and Craig would be driving this process.

Wouldn't Flash love to be told that his services are aren't required next year by a Coach that he can't be told who it is. :huh:

I agree list decisions would be made either way, but approaching assistants is a bit strange, a serious coach would want to handpick them, i'd go as far as asking why would you take a job at MFC if you didn't get to pick the assistants

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    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

    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
