    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.

AFC echo's Brisbane stuff up with Voss last year.

2013 Brisbane tried to high-jack our approach to Roos: Melb WON!!

2014 Adelaide tried to high-jack our approach to Goodwin: Melb WON!!

Real turning point for our Club!!

2011: Melbourne sign Neeld getting in ahead of Adelaide - Melb LOSE (note: most coaches from 2011 have a horrible record)

2013: Brisbane try to sign Roos, fail, end up signing Leppa who looks like a great coach and costs them at least half if not a third of the price and will be there long term:

2014: Adelaide miss Goodwin, end up signing Stewie Dew (possibly) the man the Dees originally wanted

Bit early to start counting our chickens.

That said I am impressed that Goodwin chose us. It might well be we were the only job available and he committed before the chance to apply to Adelaide even registered on his horizon. But if he did choose I can't help but think he's making a really good decision to form part of a succession plan and round out his training before he gets the job. That kind of investing in his future and patience is rare for AFL coaches especially for the star player turned coach types.

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

I'd take Sloane ahead of Crouch.

But be happy with either.

Last year I thought Sloane was a B+ Grader that wouldn't make an A grade player.

This year Sloane shown that he was an A grader - with the potential to go even further.

Sloane reminds me a bit of Nathan Jones in the way he just breaks through barriers - probably on limited talent.

Either you haven't seen much of Brad Crouch, or your not a very good judge of footballers

How's PJ just sitting quietly off to the side, overseeing it all? The puppetmaster.

Such an impressive bloke. I know that's not news to anyone, but I hope he signs on for another year after next.

I don't think Crouch is likely, it'd almost be akin to us trading Hogan, but stranger things have happened. Particularly, when money is involved and he is a Victorian. Who knows.

Anyone worried about Goodwin's communication skills after the presser should watch the one-on-one interview with Burgo. Much more impressive.

But if our catchphrase is going to become 'sustained success', think he needs to practice abit more

Is it me or does he have a strong English accent sometimes?

[censored] I'm excited by this. Super impressed with that whole press conference and interview. What's so striking is the professionalism and the united message. We're almost unrecognisable.

Where's Ron Burgundy? He must be bouncing off the walls! Busting out my finest rum & coke this evening.

The smug ,supercilious know all ,footy bore just never ends with you Machsy.

I'll let you in on a secret,which many should learn here.

We are all just fans with opinions and theories and nothing we do will change that fact until we are paid by the club for our footy knowledge.

Which will never happen.

Seriously WGAF?

It's the Adelaide thing. ;)

It's a definite weakness in character.

Not one good thing has come from that backwater ever.

its always fun going out on a limb

Great comment RJ!.

How could we entertain Goodwin after the Bombers saga. Who leaked the info to Riccuito last year etc?

Favourite sons don't work necessarily - Voss, Hird, Barassi, Bucks. Good luck with this Crows.

Who are/were the top 4 coaches now - Clarko, Scott boys, Longmire, Hinkley, Roos, Hafey, Jeans, Northey, Balme, Daniher etc. Professionals.

Jackson and Roos will get the job done re: succession.

Yep well done lads you can help each other wipe the egg off.

    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

    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.
