    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.

In the texts, from July last year, Goodwin reportedly asks Dank to supply him with "the good stuff" and "good gear."

"Don't forget the good gear mate," Goodwin reportedly writes on a text sent to Dank on July 5, 2012.

One week later, Goodwin reportedly writes: "Sorry mate forgot to see you yesterday. Am heading to Adelaide today can you please bring some of the good stuff in buddy.

Surely we could do better.

Love this ... @paigecardona: So as news broke about Goodwin to Melbourne, Jon Ralph is on air swearing black and blue he's heading to Adelaide. #jernerlism

Nothing like the end of a season to re-ignite a demon supporters excitement and enthusiasm in football!

Word is that the Crows threw the kitchen sink at him but he had already verbally agreed to be at Melbourne. Word also is that the club is totally stoked with the appointment. Rate Goodwin very highly

One wonders how much discussion took place between Bomber and Roosy. My guess is that Bomber was fundamental in making this happen, just a feeling.

When I had a stint in the SANFL couple of years ago I became good mates with Jason Torney former tiger and Crow. I remember he said Goodwin and Recuito were the masters of Mad Monday and both could enjoy a drink.

But all in all he spoke very highly of Goodwin as a leader and mentor to alot of the players. He really is a people person. The reports of Sanderson not being able to connect with players. Well Goodwin is the complete opposite. The Essendon players absolutely loved him just ask Jobe Watson.

Players will love playing for this bloke.

Okay, so yet another assistant coach, presumably on decent money. The amount of money we've spent on coaching panels in the past two years for a grand total of 6 wins is mind blowing.

Is Goodwin replacing one of our existing assistants, or is he just added to the pile?

I posted a while back in one of the threads on this topic as well.

I would have thought that he was going to replace another of our coaches, not sure who that might be though.

Just heard an extract of the press conference and I was very impressed:

- has been talking with Dees for about 5 weeks

- believes he needs the 2 years apprenticeship to fully prepare for senior coach.

- Can learn a lot from Roos

- really wants to be part of the 'sustainable success' plan the Dees have in place (i think we will hear the words 'sustainable success' a lot more in future)

- had a call from someone at AFC last night to see where he was at with Dees and said he was committed

Sounded very calm and assured Spoke very well.

Liked him.

He didn't say "he would make us the hardest team to play against" did he!!!!!

the main thing I take away from this appointment is the pulling power of PJ and Roos. They make stuff happen.

Think we may see even further evidence of that in the draft period.

It sends all the right messages re stability, direction etc.

Makes Chips comments about wanting good evidence of direction before signing sound even more disingenuous.

I like what he has had to say. He is happy for a long apprentiship and has signed a five-year contract. Year one as an assistant working with Roos, year two as a more senior role and years 3-5 as senior Coach. Goodwin is impressed by Melbourne's clear plan and looking forward to the role. Roos said that this was the plan when he extended the third year [so that he could have two years grooming Goodwin.] By all accounts, their philosophies are very close. I think that this is a great move for the Club, right up thier with Roos, Jackson and Tyson!

Maybe Mitch and Chip may now want to reconsider jumping ship whilst it is still in dry-dock ready to launch itself for a premiership? I hope Dangerfield and the Homesick GWS star all watch the Press interview!

The media conference is not on SEN for some reason.

It's on our website under the twitter part.

Not sure why SEN didn't run with it could have sworn they said they would go live with it.

Oh well it's still enjoyable.

I think it was because Jon Ralph was busy on the air committing credibility suicide.

Have to vent spleen on this

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/simon-goodwin-signs-on-with-melbourne-and-turns-back-on-adelaide-20140918-10il4v.html

Supposedly The Age's announcement on Goodwin's appointment!

Did they quote Roos? No!

Did they quote Goodwin? No!

They quoted Hird!

Of all people! While it was good to hear praise of our new coach this is all about MFC. Nothing to do with that obnoxious person!

Not one word from the MFC side!! Grrrrrrrrrr!

Fined for betting in Adelaide.

Involved in Essendons drug fiasco.

Puhlease! Don't rewrite history with the integrity BS.

As long as he is a good coach, and a good addition to PR and MFC, then that should be enough. Let's not canonise him!

    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.

    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. 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

    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
