    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.

Richmond lost John Northey to Brisbane Bears. Geelong lost Garfield Ayres to Adelaide. 

Not relevant - Richmond had Walls who was a premiership coach in the wings so were fine with Northey going while Geelong finished 11th in 1999 & Cats rightly refused to extend Ayers beyond 2000 so he left.

Northey screwed Melbourne over and did the same at Richmond.

100% deeserved on merit and performance, and as Grapeviney alluded to, deemonstrated ability to adjust his game plan.

However I can’t help feeling with the external noise, a’la Mick, Caro et al (you know who), I think this is the perfect way for the board to back up their statement, and I applaud the presideent and dee board for this move at this time to make sure the club is focused on finals, should the noise start again as our success triggers the malcontents.

Totally untrue. Melbourne was pondering whether to reappoint him or not so he jumped ship. It was the right decision.

Richmond had a premiership coach in Robert Walls coming back to Melbourne & were keen to get him. Northey got wind of it & jumped ship.

Ridley dithered and Northey sensed Melbourne was not committed to him. Meanwhile Richmond approached Northey as their coach had health issues and was seen as likely to quit..

My understanding was that also the Dees had quietly sounded out Balme anyway .

Not true on both accounts he was holding out for money at Melbourne and Richmond approached him and did the same for Brisbane

These extended contracts are great for the coach as it means a big extra payout. Not so good for the Club.

Look how its worked out for Clarkson @ Hawks & now Footscray or West Coast.

And tell me the last Premiership coach that was poached due to the contract not being long enough ???

 

 

I suggest you think about why this hasn't happened. Just maybe well-run clubs sign up successful coaches so they can't be poached.

Jury is out on this for me. A coach usually only lasts x amount of years at a club.

What’s the jury out on? He’s already delivered us a flag and we are again in the hunt for another. What more do you expect from a coach?

Dumb idea. If he's already contracted until the end of 24 why not wait til mid 23.

12 months can be long time in football

So far he has done very well.  My jury is out on the future like beyond next year.

What do you think would happen in 2024 that would lead us to sack a coach who got us 3 top 4 finishes and a flag in the previous 3 seasons? 
He is literally the most successful coach of the last 3 seasons in the AFL.

Why? Our list is primed to continue to challenge. 
We only have two key players who I suspect will slow down significantly in the next year or two, in May and Gawn. 
And we can absolutely go out and try and replace both in trades.

Possibly. Pretty damned hard to replace Gawn.

True, but I think the key to that would be finding a good contested marking CHF which could well be Petty.

I think our midfield can dominate playing with a poorer ruckman, but it’s the marking dominance of Gawn down the line that is so important to us.

The extension of Goody’s tenure is both excellent, and perfectly timed.  Huge pat on the back to all concerned.

Well done Goody and MFC. Looking forward to another flag or 2 over the next few years.

Solid point, some on here are acting as if we’ve appointed him until 2033, a 2 year extension is more than reasonable

Not quiet sure what you're saying. 

I've given 3 examples of premiership coaches where the Clubs signed up the coaches for long deals and later regretted it.

If the Club had waited until mid 2024 it would have made a more informed decision.

    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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
