  • 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

For all those wanting a nudge nudge wink wink from someone involved with melbourne look at it from another point of view. I could imagine PJ giving an absolute bake to all staff stressing that if we want to be a professional club act like it and keep ya traps shut! I see the no whispers as a good thing. Journo's are guessing because for the first time in a bloody long time they have no inside information from us.

Robbo and Gerard on AFL360 have just said that WC should give PR a call just to make sure he ain't interested.

That way they can say they at least tried and spoke with him about the job.

Robbo said he still thinks PR will coach Dees but said imagine how dees supporters would feel if WC got him.

God I hope the presser is tomorrow and this doesn't drag out cause the longer it goes the more worried I get.

Why doesn't Robbo suggest WCE approach his golden boy Hird.

Can't wait for more crap to hit Robbo's club.

Re: WCE coaching gig

"After getting the boot from Brisbane, Michael Voss is also a real chance at $9.00, while despite the speculation around a possible move for Paul Roos to Melbourne (he is priced at just $1.01 to go to the Dees), he is also in the market at $13 to coach the Eagles.

Worsfold may not be lost to the football world after firming from $11 to $9.00 to coach the Brisbane Lions, and he is also $10 to coach Melbourne.

There has been big wraps on Scott Burns for a while and he is a Perth boy, so we have him as favourite. Peter Sumich is a favourite son so cant be counted out, while we havent discounted a move by Michael Voss or Paul Roos, said sportsbet.com.aus Shaun Anderson."

DB said West Coast believe Roos to Melb is a done deal but will still make a call to him tomorrow.

DB did not say he thinks it's a done deal and he did not say he thinks it will be signed tomorrow.

It's interesting to c how people hear and c the same thing differently.

My contact spoke to a staff member today and he has not 'heard a thing either way'. The suspense is felt there as well as this staff member is expecting an exit interview

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 in a phone call but as WC expect he will politely immediately reject their invitation. The reason for this is that he has already decided to coach Melbourne. Roos is not motivated by money or a better list, he wants to coach Melbourne because he sees us as the ultimate challenge, he believes he can resurrect us and do this quickly. If he succeeds he will become the absolute legend of the modern era.

An announcement will be made before Wednesday but probably before this. I am told the club is aiming for tomorrow, but this will depend on whether Roos is ready and all fine details on the contract concluded. Roos has been actively recruiting his team, I understand it includes Ling and a couple of other beauties. Roos may want to wait for his family to be back before the big announcement as he has suggested, in which case Tuesday, but he will be coaching us.

Now take a couple of deep breaths, smoke a fat one if you have to, and enjoy a good nights sleep.

    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,

    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
