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.

    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...

  • Quote

    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.

    Roos will sign a contract either thursday or friday and press conference will be called friday.

    Yep no worries guys will take autographs.

    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.

    Give us a hug, Stu. Once in a lifetime opportunity - I'm clean!

    Would have hugged you even without the shower!!

    And so the man love commences. Was inevitable, really.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
