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.

    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

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
