  • 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.

Theres no ulterior motive

He is there as a guest as he took on the task of restoring the most dysfunctional footy club in history, and they would love to talk to him about the things he has implemented since hes been there, the state of the club when he arrived, all the sacking he has had to do and thee search for a new board, president and coach.

Even a non MFC person would think hes a great choice as guest.

He [censored] slapped Connolly on national TV, and then in the same sentence remarked that the club doesn't need the best former red 'n blue people, it simply needs the best people. It was breathtakin

Wouldn't mind seeing Roos put pen to paper on tele.

Sheahan and Healy were carrying on about how his signature is a couple of weeks away (a couple of weeks ago).

Dreaming?

Most definitely.

WWE style contract signing where it ends with the couch being tipped over and Gerard being thrown through the set.

The answer to that is that he wouldn't, he simply wouldn't go on if it was going to do 1% damage to his chances on signing target #1

either there is more to this, or the coaching situation will not be bought up at all.

The coaching will be brought up as its probably the most important topic at our club at the minute.

Commentators at half time on SEN coverage of the Sydney v Richmond game today laughed at the possibility of Roos coaching Melbourne. One thought he might be a chance at WCE if their board thinks its time for Woosha to go.

Same on the ABC. Didn't feel great listening to it but it is the reality of being the worst team in the league and at least 5 years from winning games regularly.

Half time of the Sydney v Richmond game the commentry team were talking about the state Melbourne & Roos said 'Yeah look I don't know what's going on down there' as if to say we're a basket case. I don't think he's any chance of coaching us.

Asking Roosy if he doesn't want to come would be another chapter written in the big MFC book of quick fixes/cheap gimmicks. We need someone who wants to be there (for more information, see Malcolm Blight/St. Kilda).

The comparison is odious as they say in the classics. I have no doubt, if Roos commits, he will be just that............ committed.

I like your optimism and to be honest, I think Paul Roos is smart enough to turn down the money. A more cynical part of me says that Melbourne will just throw a heap of AFL sponsored cash at him until he says yes. I guess my bigger point is that he needs to be signing on for more than just the dough. Mal Blight signed on for mostly money and ended up burnt by the experience. I hope, in the best case scenario, Roosy re-establishes my faith in football values by coming to Melbourne because he is motivated by the challenge or, in the worst case, he says no because the challenge doesn't appeal to him (but we find a good experienced coach anyway).

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
