Wow is it planet alignment?Have pieces finally fallen into place? Sheedys available ,what ?Melbourne needs a coach ,but even more we need a heartbeat.Fidel Castro will be around longer than us if we dont do something to resuscitate this club.

I no longer support this club.I dont turn up to games or buy a membership.Why should i?This club has given nothing to supporters.It is a continuous heap of mess on and off the field and i am way to young to be still inspired by the efforts of norm smith and barassi.I am no longer a diehard supporter and those who berate me for jumping off only need look at the seats next to them to understand i am now in the majority.Berate me but the club needs to win supporters like me back.Its reality

This club needs Sheedy.Without getting complex he has made a competitve team at essendon without a list.It is a far inferior list than ours.HE STILL HAS FORM.

He will lift immediately lift the spirits of players and supporters by mere presence.When barassi came back to our club we did not have a team.Parallels cannot be drawn.

If we get Sheedy ill be there round 1 next year.so will many others on the edge.Lets see if our list can build with support and direction.lets take a punt and jump from the mire

well Pequot.. youre a brave one to voice that. Yes you will be berated. dont sweat it. Its a big world with room for more than one view point. Many will rehash the ol...do not ask what your club has done for you, ask what you have done for your club line . Ive never subscribed to it personally. Not these days..its business and they are competing for my money, time as well as loyalties. well the loyalty isnt up for grabs.. but he other two are.

Having said that some of what you propse does have merit. I reckon you wouldnt be the only one to returnfromthe woodwork should someone of Sheeds ilk take the reigns. Many people want to invest their energies into somethign that will return them enjoyment. A decently chosen , prepared and instilled Melbourne team would do that. win or lose they would be competitive. Thats sufficient for the most part.

Though many question his sanity...no one can argue he doesnt know what he's doing. Quite frankly ...grabbing Sheeds is hardly a punt.. bit like backing the favourite in a two horse race.. you could stil lose.. but the odds are in your favour!! and that my friends is something we havent had for a very long while....43 years I'd suggest!! :-)

Well your definitely my hero, clearly your love for the club runs really deep its touching. Its a two way street buddy, hope your not like this with everyone in your life or you will be quite lonely.

i couldnt care if sheedy is only with us for 1 year, as long as that year brings us a premiership. but in all honesty, why do we need a 10 year coach? a few good years will do me, then let someone else take over while we have his winning culture in place...

Well if we get sheedy next year and you come back i hope I'm not sitting next to you.

I am someone who believes the members of the club are its heart beat and hate people who only come along to games when everything is going well and drop off when things aren't, It's such a shame we need more members to survive and you say "Lets see if our list can build with support and direction.lets take a punt and jump from the mire"

Well if our list needs support why are you not supporting us now?

ON the demon bandwagon got it right.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
