  • 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.


Who will be the new assistant coaches?

Now that we have a coach and a footy manager, our next greatest need is a development coach in the mould of Alan Richardson at Collingwood - somebody who can fast track the young blokes and maybe bring them forward 6 to 12 months. Possibly somebody currently working in the U18's. Richardson has done agreat job at Collingwood - wonder if we could pinch him!

With Peter Curran told his services are no longer required and Mark Riley approached by four clubs who is going to be Bailey's assistants?

Who do we think it might be? Maybe Hardwick or someone with an Essendon or Port Adelaide connection.

What about an experienced Qlder who knows the scene up there.

I'd like to see Mark Williams from Sandy get a run as an assistant.

Run and Carry Resurrection,

I think it might be time to update my name to deestroyed07 or hopefullydeestroy08.

Now that MFC has made positive appointments with Dean Bailey and Chris Connolly it would be INSANE to restrict the new regime by lumbering them with both Mark Riley and Paul Williams in 2008. Senior coach must be able to pick his assistants for him to be responsible for the overall perfomance.

Would be varey hard for Mark Riley to stay given would be 3 of the 5 shortlisted! If ND gets the Bummers gig (after Cats performance today another step towards Bomber T staying at cattery more likely) the Riley Bomber may be the one going to windy hill.

As riley has credentials in the midfield dont see what value Paul williams is other than is contracted!

Poor Admin decision in locking M Riley and P Williams up for 2008 when ND position was up for renewal!

Anyone who is aspiring to be a coach from the Brisbane dynasty.

I'd get on the phone and call James Hird, Glenn Archer etc

Can anyone think of ex Port players who have retired in the last couple of years that Bailey may contact.

besides Hardwick who will stay at the Hawks.

Matthew primus?

Primus is an assistant coach at Port currently, as is Adam Kinglsey, they sat 3 rows in front of me at the G on Sunday. Doubt he'd be going anywhere as apparently he took over the post match when Choke-o went for the birth of his kid and did a good job. He's a Port man through and through.

    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. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.

    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
