I have never enjoyed reading Demonland as much as right now.

We deserve to revel in victory! The joy, enthusiasm and passion is enough to make you shed a tear.

Lap it up fellow Demons, nothing will dampen this day, its one we will remember for years to come.

And to Jimmy , today you would be the proudest of us all. You set this club on path back to greatness, and today we have taken one almighty step forward. Wish you were here to see the smiles on the faces of the most loyal and passionate fans. Rest easy big fella, our club is in the best of hands.

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

I was one who said he would never come - I am happy to admit it.

I am obviously not very good at reading between the lines - I usually take no as a no..... oh you little devil Roosy!

I just love it that in the past we would have given up, but PJ stuck at it!

Awesome News @ last. Welcome to our club Roosy. So much respect for a bloke that takes on the ultimate challenge. I actually love the 2 year twist. To me it puts so much accountability back on all area's of the club. Get serious & demonstrate you are prepared to come on this journey with me NOW.

Nice work on the banner Demonland!

You can already see the difference in culture - we are now allowed to smile.

I think this is about as close as Neeld got to smiling - actually I think that's the only emotion he showed in 18 months

Well if he cant get the players to start performing well then we know that we just dont have the talent.

I hope they explain how we are paying him because im getting sick of people saying the afl are bankrolling his pay. Im sure we still have some money in the tin

I step in to the shower when Paul Roos isn't coach. When I get out, Roos is coach. I should shower more often.

Roos has only ever been named our coach once... I'm concerned for your hygiene...

But that was the previous coach

Can Roos change the clubs fortunes in 2 years? - I think he could in 3 years but if he won't be taking us to any grand final in 3 years :(

Still - we have two years to make him stay for longer - lets get to it!

But for now demonlanders - get some sleep.

May suggest a well constructed succession plan. It will be the FD team around Roosy that will perhaps be more important in the long run.

Lol - I can just imagine that is your first shower in a month too. You decided to take a minutes break from refreshing the AFL/MFC page

Ahhhhhh relief. Now the hard work starts. Well done MFC and PJ (AFL). And all the best for Roos and his assistants-to-be.

Roos always left the door ajar with his comments throughout. And everyone involved including his family should be proud of the way he went about it. Integrity.

One more piece of uncut, confirmed news.

MFC wanted 5 years, but Paul Roos would not commit. However, Paul Roos verbally said he WILL coach beyond 2 years and beyond 3 years if all is going well. Roos wanted an out should admin, board etc fail to maintain the structure and standards he requires.

This should keep the entire organisation in line.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
