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.

Go Get Garry

Get him off easy street in the media to have a crack at this pile of rabbits droppings of a club

If he gives two hoots he’ll have a crack, apparently was brilliant coaching the all stars back in the day.

Has a fantastic footy brain & a brilliant captain of the club

Unless we can get Clarko ?

Yeah umm no. The last time he was involved seriously with the club, he brought Mark Neeld in. Garry is a passionate MFC supporter, but he should be nothing more or nothing less.

"Selecting coaches is the toughest job of all," Lyon said. "I won't apologise for the decision ever. That is life. Unfortunately it didn't work."

Translation: "My decision and the selection criteria were perfectly fine. It was the other guy who was crap."

Got sucked in by the hype for Neeld in the media and Malthouse recommending Neeld, undermining Buckley by unloading assistant coaches before their coaching handover.
There we're also a couple other clubs in the market for a coach at the time which made us a little too forken jumpy.

But there is no chance he is coaching Melbourne.

He has one the prerequisites for being a successful coach ... What does he have in common with the following multiple premiership coaches - Clarkson, Malthouse, Blight, Matthews? Yep, he's a total #%@ .

One of the smartest footy brains out there, worth a chat.... IMO it would be something Gary thinks about considerably. 
A great of the MFC, excellent leader. 

Rubbish he's a [censored] fence sitter. He's done enough to ruin the club. NO MORE!

Can we please not back the truck over the whole Lyon/Neeld thing again? It's been done to death and those who have had the whole situation explained to them and are still banging on about it are just stubborn nuffies.

Garry has always said he doesn't have the abilities or passion to coach an AFL team, it's not going to happen. I'm also not sure why he seems to be the one former player Melbourne people are obsessed with as far as their involvement with the club goes.

IF (and it's a big if) we are looking for a new coach next year it could only be:

1) Ross Lyon

2) Clarko with Yze as successor

No way MFC goes for another untried coach straight up.

Choosing Bailey ahead of Sheedy and choosing Neeld. He brought the club to it's knees. The biggest know nothing footballer of all time. Just ask him it wasn't his fault couldn't be.

FFS he was asked for advice, that may have been rubbish but the buck stops with the decision makers at the club at the time. Schwab, the Board and Jimmy have to wear those decisions. To me when looking for the root cause for that disastrous period I always end up looking at Schwab, Connelly to some extent and unfortunately Jimmy who didn’t realise Schwab was a toxic influence on recruiting and football operations.

Don't tell me Lyon didn't choose the coach? It simply isn't true. He was the main man Jimmy went looking to.

Garry had already said he didn't have the experience or knowledge to be involved, then his dying best mate asked him to step in.

You're criticizing him for that with pretty over the top language. That's a pathetic effort IMO.

You may be right but Lyon to my knowledge was not on the board or employed in the FD, he was asked to provide a consulting role to advise on coach selection. Consultants advise, management ultimately wears the decision. By the way I can’t remember all the detail but I was comfortable with the Bailey appointment, I reckon he could coach but was under resourced and undermined by Schwab and I still believe the Neeld appointment was influenced by Schwab who wanted a newby he could control. No way he would have accepted a Sheedy appointment in my opinion. In short the problem was Schwab and his interference in the FD, specifically in coaching appointments and draft selections.

He should not have done it. he brought the club to it's knees he showed there and then that he knows nothing about football picking those 2 he should have learned the first time choosing Bailey. He is someone we don't need at the club and should steer way clear of.

He was a great player and most people like yourself can't get past that but he knows nothing about the modern game.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
