  • 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.

Haha.

I don't know if Deetastic wants to share it with you and others, thats his choice (sensitive information, you see).

Let's just say that, if he's right(and he has good reason to believe he is), these media flogs are all going to lose their money at the TAB. Judd is very close to us. Not signed, not sealed, and certainly not delivered. But very close.

Personal message me it Diablo, I promise I'll never shut down a post you write ever!!!!

I'll agree with everything........ I'll be your best friend. haha.

Cool your engines gentlemen. Very close is a bit strong. Leaning towards is a better assessment of Judd's stance toward MFC (at least, according to what I've been told). But then, if true, that'd be all we would need going into a presentation with the man.

Anyway I'm not giving out the information. I know it's selfish. But a) he told me not to, because he has nothing to gain if it does get put up, and B) if he's not right, both Deetastic and I look like idiots. Naturally I have to take what he's saying with a grain of salt, as anyone can post anything on here. But if he's yanking my chain, he's been a member for over a year, so it's a very elaborate, long-winded build up to then only wind up one person.

All I'll say is that Jake Niall and the other hacks can speculate till the cows come home. They don't know anything.

If Dean Bailey can impress Judd as much as he did everyone in the coaching selection panel this will go a long way to helping him choose the D's

Absolutely. Everyone reckons Garry Lyon is the trick up our sleeve, but Bailey will be just as important. Judd is an intelligent man. He'll appreciate a coach with a thoughtful new approach and a genuinely intelligent perspective on football. Bailey may not have played this game before, but he needn't have. He just needs to reel off the same material that had Nathan Burke wishing Bailey had coached him.

He did notch up 53 games for Essendon.

You sense that Judd is lookig for a new direction, some real satisfaction and excitement in his playing. Money is not the issue. medical care may come into it. I think MFC is quite well heeled in medical contacts.

I too think that if the club can get Gardner Bailey and Connolly together with say Lyon etc in a room with Judd and showcase the club going forward, well.. it would be like a dream come true for a kid who 's blood is really red and blue :) .

He can deny it but you never lose sight of a team you grow up barracking for.. you just cant do it..lol

Imagine coming into a team about to get serious and go places, remember our finishing poisition belies our real level !!

Go Bailey GO !!!!!!

Probably more so given he would be working directly under Bailey, not Lyon.

Plus I agree with Bub......again :rolleyes: !!!

I love how they talk about the MCG being a big factor, but don't talk about Melbourne.

We played 12 games at the MCG this year, to Collingwood's 15. Next year, we're likely to play one more with the end of the Brisbane deal.

That's 13 vs. 15. We also happen to have our headquarters at the MCG, and are the ground's original tenants. But because we are Melbourne, we don't get a mention. This is exactly why we need Judd, so that we can stop being so damn insignificant!

Lets not forget the writing on the wall in the new MCG stand ... every time I go up those escalators my heart beats red & blue.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
