Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

I am not interested in hyperbole. I asked my source some direct questions

”What is the relationship between Richo and Goodwin like?

the Answer i got

”Goodwin has been told he is on borrowed time unless things change...”

 

Can I ask, since Richo has just come to the club, what sort of relationship would have developed yet ?

I would be amazed that someone inside the inner circle at the club would provide that info to another person to allow them to blab it out over the internet.I say inner circle because they would be the only ones that would if this was the case.

But you are always so full of the only answers Dry as

But when questioned you actually say nothing....

That’s what we need to find out as quick as possible. If it was Goodwin’s idea to bring him on board, fine. 

If not it could be Rocky, but all the assistants are walking...

Because I never blab about what conversations I have with contacts within the club. And I say it again I would expect if someone gave you that info it should be kept to yourself.

I can understand about ready for change, any fool could work that out, but for an insider within the club letting out that Goodwin has been told can and would cause trouble but if you cannot see that you have a problem.What the hell have those videos after the game got to do with the way the team plays.

I am glad the Board have made their feelings known towards the Coach. That is their Charter. We pay for that. 

Goodwin was Rubbish this year, and he gets a number of months to sort that out. Do it and his career can survive. 

I have been given many pieces of MFC info over the years, where i have said nothing and that will continue, but i have no problem with todays snippets

You are missing the point, if the board has had the discussion with Goodwin it needs to stay inhouse not blabbed all over the internet. if the board is leaking all we are doing is going backwards when the club was run by the types as Glenn Archer so aptly refers to as linament sniffers who pee in their pants at the first sign that their plan is facing difficulty.

No. This year we went backwards, now is the time to sweep the Decks, open the windows and let the fresh air in. 

Goodwin is on top $$ he has to make himself accountable. I have not mentioned any names. Merely that the Board are doing their job and the FD are on serious notice.

I am sorry to see Jade leave if it is true.  l would have thought he would  have stay around until maybe he gets a chance to coach his own Afl team on his own merits when the chance had come.

 He had his chance l suppose before Goodwin was given the nod however he stuck it out with us and got on with his job. A true professional a good guy and respected by his peers. 

Lost a good person and  am sad to see him go.

Thanks for your service Jade IMO been good during his time.

Would  have liked him to stay on, but if he's gone to the club and asked to be released due to an offer from Brady he wishes to pursue than you'd be hard pressed to say no

Very strange indeed. The boards fate is directly tied to Goodwin's now. Getting rid of all of his assistants, yet if he turns out to be the culprit, what a waste of 2 years and resources it will have been.

2 years? Getting rid of Goodwin will make the Roos years redundant and therefore a waste. It's much more than 2 years. 

That's why a number of us refuse to believe that Goodwin is the problem.

Exactly. That's why it's bs.

Richardson coming in may have precipitated this move. Rawlings becomes 2IC to Shaw so it is a step up I think from what he would be doing at Melbourne. 

Yes. After 8 years with us across almost every role available, he was always going to be looking to step up. Failing a senior coach appointment, senior assistant is a good move for him.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
