  • 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.

Yep, I'm not interested in Connolly as head coach.

It would make dropping Daniher look profoundly stupid if all we do is sign up a coach who would give us nothing that we didn't already have.

Fremantle have underperformed drastically. They are only now rising to the level of hot-cold streaks and up-down seasons. The demons achieved that years ago, and do it better.

For christs sake, the man RECRUITED Tarrant! (Although, the whole deal may have just been to get rid of Medhurst)

Not to mention that Fremantle have the highest rate of both on-field and off-field discipline issues. And they aren't actually that 'tough' a team, so no excuses for the endless tribunal visits - it's not hard play it's careless, stupid play.

I could see Daniher crossing to coach Fremantle (and doing very well), but I can't really see Connolly being taken up anywhere else.

Maybe Demonland should run a poll and sent the result to the club.

Select one option -

Chris Connolly.

Im all for people being entitled to their own opinion, but what do u think yourself???

id be interested for anyone who thinks Connolly is a strong candidate to give some reason other than he played(not that well) for the Dees

I really don't think he is that bad. Anyone would have a tough time coaching down at Freo, with the way things are there. I know its a technicality, but he is their most succesful coach. At the end of last year everyone was talking him, and Freo up.

Now that Freo are doing poorly (mind you still a lot better than us), people love sticking the knives in

Would he be my no.1 choice, no

But i could think of a lot of worse choices than Chris

Consider it signed, the guys a nutjob

I actually like Chris Connolly and I think he would do a fair job as a coach but I'm looking for someone who can lift the club to another level. Don't know who that is but I somehow think that Connolly isn't in that category. We need a new approach, fresh ideas and one hellova tough bastard to overturn our brittleness when the pressure's turned on.

I lean towards a Michael Voss but, while I know he was a terrific footballer, I don't know whether he has the capacity to coach well at the highest level.

This Petition is hardly necessary.

Nobody, and I do emphasise Nobody, in their right mind would go for Connolly, with his track record.

Incidently I do consider the MFC Board to be in their right minds.

    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
