Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Dean Bailey officially the coach

To put it into persepective for the young 'uns, its like Simon Godfrey or Ryan Ferguson getting a senior coaching gig 15 years down the track, no offence to those two guys but thats about where Bailey was in Essendons pecking order back then in terms of skill and leadership...

Tim Watson was a fair way higher up the pecking order at Essendon in terms of skill and leadership....he really turned St Kilda around didn't he!!

Come on Queeny, i love a good conspiracy

Think of it, Miller at home thinking of the days where he stared at Mt gravatt, so off he goes to the melbourne board and tells them that if they don't hire bailey he will make them pay whilst shaking a fist at them, now miller is at home one happy camper. :)

Well, this can't hurt Miller's career, which is not a bad thing.... unless Bailey thinks he's rubbish and delists him.

Now wouldn't that be ironic :P

For all of you who wanted sheedy to increase sponsorship and members, if this guy is good enough, members and sponsors will come when we get a flag.

I am rapt we took this bold step.

Bailey back at Melbourne!

Fantastic to welcome an old champion back to the club.

I'll never forget the 1987 night grand final when Bailey kicked the winning goal for the Dees on that cold night in April at Waverly Park.

Go Bails!

Ah that would be Brett Bailey

Dean Bailey played 4 The Bombers

However he might have been playing in the 1987 Night GF @ Waverley park

I've got no idea what to expect from Bailey. I'll reserve my opinion till late into the pre-season and the first few rounds of 2008.

We all know what the club needs, it's just a matter of whether Bailey can establish and deliver it. Let's wait and see...

Thanks.

It's not till tomorrow though.

I think Bailey will come down and speak to the team before they go on holidays next week.

Then he can concentrate on Port's final campaign (they are a chance to go all the way!) and still have a few weeks to prepare for the pre-season from hell.

BRING IT ON! :D

Dean is already free of his PA obligations - hence the reason the announcement was made early. PA sacked him so he could get on and start the new phase in his life and our club. Guess he will probably go to the game on Sunday and so now what do the players do? They will have to go hard to impress for their spots in the club - does that mean we will win?????

I am on the fence in this tanking thing... I want the draft picks - the best possible ones but dont like to see the club lose either. It will be ridiculous if we are level and Carlton kicks the ball to our end instead of their own....I believe they are doing their utmost to lose this game on Sunday with the team they picked- half our best 22 is in the medical rooms!!

Do not be surprised if the AFL have a chat to both lubs and say "good luck on sunday, we will be watching what should be a facinating game) read this as (if we think you tank this game, we will take those picks off you). Well i hope so anyway. demitrou publicly will say that teams don't tank but behind closed doors would believe that the blues will be.

Congrats and Welcome to the club Dean.

Very very happy about this decision. After Ratten was gone, i wanted to get Bailey or Hardwick, a slight risk to it but im glad we went with Bailey.

Anyone know when the dees are going to hold an official press conference to introduce Bailey and welcome him?

I really want to see it and hear him speak.

Im excited :):):)

It will either be Sheedy or Bailey!!!

Mark my words.... Living here in Adelaide and being involved in local footy has given me a nice insight into the workings of Dean Bailey.....

The bloke was a shyte player, but his coaching prospects are enormous! Mark Williams is no mug! Port have done some amazing things over the last 5 years and Bailey has flown under the radar a bit in the media....

He is the real deal...

Just a shameless boasting post!! :D

You named two out of the five on the shortlist. Riley was a dead duck, so essentially you had a 50% chance of being correct. Nice toss of the coin ;)

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
