  • 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 seriously think ND

I seriously hope you are wrong :P If people are calling for Jamar, PJ, Ward, Wheatley, Yze, Holland, Bizz, Bate etc to be dropped due to poor form, then there is not much poorer form among coaches than our ND! :(

I'm not a ND basher, but fair suck of the ol' sav!!

I can't see the board giving ND another year, despite the current injuries crisis curtailing our season

If we are to get a new coach, it will either be a coach with a history of some success (eg. Pagan), or an experienced assistant (eg. Longmire, Harvey)

I'm assuming our board is not silly enough to choose a past player to jump straight into the role without any experience

I wish Garry Lyon would just leave the media and come to the rescue next year...

I'd prefer Lyon to assist us in the media rather than come to coach. He has so many key roles on channel 9 - yet he doesn't seem to push our barrow. Although I've seen him defend us a couple of times when other presenters get stuck into us. He should take an Eddie McGuire approach & market us at every opportunity.

As far as coaches are concerned, I'd rather wait until 75% of the season is gone before even discussing this issue. Let ND coach in peace.

After a "Decade of Daniher" let it be anybody else please!

The list should include Mark Williams (of the Sandringham variety). In fact they should drop Daniher to Sandringham now (thereby preventing them from winning a fourth premiership) and promote Williams for the rest of the season. Be great if it was that easy!

Also Mark Harvey and Malcolm Blight should be considered although I doubt MB would be convinced to come out of retirement.

However, my number one preference is to back up a truck full of cash to the Leigh Matthews residence once he is out of contract and pursue him until he submits. We want a premiership - we need a coach who is experienced, knows what it takes, is uncomprising and will eradicate the "blackslappers" around the club who get far too ahead of themselves when we are up and winning. This cancerous culture must be eliminated if we are to ruthlessly pursue a premiership!

....anyone here know how many full games Michael Voss has sat in the coaches box as an observer?

BIG RED SIGNING IN:

Finks you have touched on what to me is most important. You cannot say Michael Voss needs to do an assistant coaching apprenticeship. In alot of ways he has already done one and more.All long injury lay offs he has he has been in the box listneing to Matthews. As captain he has had to player manage, develop youngsters, motivate a team, been on the team selection committee, hold press conferences. In summary he has more qualification in my eyes than an assistant coach such as Longmire or Harvey do (hey but they hold a good white board).

i seriously think ND

i think that they will give him 1 more year if we improve in the second half of the year

i dont agree with a decision like that, but thats my thoughts on it

So why don't you actually write what it is that you want & why. We're all a part of this once great club & if we don't stand up for what it is we know is right, then the Board will just keep on doing as they think.

It's time we all stood up passionately for SUCCESS, not for survival but to start fighting to win & beat allcomers.

If I was at War there's a couple of MFC players that I WOULD NOT want watching my back...

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
