  • 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.

Ohhh that's right you were there and you know it didn't happen or something similar.

Hi and pot somebody else Mooney please.You are not the voice or reason even though you really try hard

 

You claimed something specific happened between two FD staff. You made the claim, not me.

Prove it or shut up.

Just another grenade thrower on Demonland who panics when called out.

I'm more excited by Burgess coming on board but at least Richardson is experienced, although he is largely a replacement for McCartney.

Chaplin, Rooke, Mathews, Plapp, Egan...and Goodwin... have little experience or had little when they joined.

And with Rawlings spending most of the year at Casey - we didn't have much 'pedigree' guiding the players.

I reckon Chaplin and Rawlings are safe. Chaplin because the club got him doing media around the time the mid season changes were implemented. Not sure re Plapp. 

I'd expect Richardson to head up development and Rooke and Egan would probably go in favour of people Richardson has worked with. 

Also interesting that Mahoney hasn't done any media since late July, however that might be because he's busy reshaping the Footy Department and Perty has helped with some of the external communication. 

In all, despite the horror of 2018 I feel the club has a good handle on what is needed and seem to be working as a team and making the righ moves. Hopefully it catches on to the pkaying group ?

Mail is Roughead will be on board next year as goal kicking coach as bare minimum.

Whether he has more of a role will depend on other options such as media etc.

Calling myself out on this “mail”.

Just gave the mail deliverer who is normally rock solid mind you, an absolute barrage.

My apologies...

No aplology needed. Your second sentence perfectly exonerated the first.

At the Saints he has about 4 roles (list management, leadership developing, match day and kp mentor) which may have been more than we or GCS offered.

Yep.  An absolute [censored]!!  Who, in their right mind, would give up the role of MFC Runner to Coach an opposition side?!!  (And, to several Premierships to boot!!)

I am struggling with the. "quite uncritically just throw rocks bit. What do you mean by quite uncritically throw rocks?  Assuming you mean criticize the club and employees of the club. Are you saying a Club, made up of members and supporters are not allowed to criticize a failed organisation and one that has been a failure for 55 years. 

I don not seek or need your respect, could not care less. You rarely indulge in footy discussion anyway. Always counter sniping. You are on ignore

Please put me on ignore too.

I remember him newrly being killed by Vossy at the Gabba. One of my fav hits of all time, not that that is condoned in the current climate.

I sat 4 or 5 rows from that. Could not see it as the benches were in the way, but the noise. I can still hear it now.

Mahoney was all too keen to say we pinched Richardson before he was snapped up by other Clubs. Alluding to us as a destination club. And yet we have Roughead whos best friend has just spent three years at the club not wanting a bar of us. Any comment Mahoney?

Plus he wanted to be involved in list management, not coaching, which we weren't offering...

So you would take Todd Viney over Jarrod Roughead for list management. One , young, keen, recently out of the game great character who has overcome adversity, four time premiership winner against, as some here said, a fence leaner. Says it all.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

    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
