  • 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.

IS DEAN BAILEY MR MAGOO ?

he is being very patient...u can see small patches of his run and carry "game plan" working...not so much today...but he is carefully developing the young players patiently into players that can execute what he wants...we will not get any success in the coming weeks and it is annoying but stand by him for the three years that he is under contract

We are getting smashed. On the upside we are getting to see what some of the lesser known players are capable of. I think Bails need another season to before we pass judgement.

If the hawks had booted clarkson a few years back, they would not be where they are today.

I am not saying he is doing a fine job, I am just saying this season is a write off, we need to see what he can do with this list next year.

The problem is we do not have the cattle to p[lay that style, play a more simple style with some parts of the new game plan, trying to change it in one hit is why we are so crap right now.

This was my argument. He didnt get rid of all the deadwood therefore, he must play a game plan to suit the cattle he has.

i do think daniher was better at making something happen from the cattle he had

but in terms of development and looking into the future and giving our club a real chance of premiership success, i think bailey has the patience to maybe be the man

Caroline Wilson said that Harwick presented to the selection panel that he didn't rate many of the current list, and the club could expect a period on the bottom while rebuilding.

Wonder if Bailey was as candid?

Memo Dean Bailey - if you want to change a game plan that's fine - but it needs to be an evolution not a revolution.

The players can't change the way the play overnight - Paul Roos took three years to get the game plan he wanted in and working.

In the meantime, he made sure that his players were competitive and accountable, even if they couldn't do exactly what he wanted and he evolved his team and his game plan over the three years to win a premiership.

You are destroying the players's confidence, and I doubt that you have earned their respect as yet. I mean you have LOST 4 pre-season games and 6 home and away games.

Get them at least competitive and accountable through man on man football - at least give the members and supporters something

I don't mind how we go this year.

I thought we were vastly over-rated in '06, and our next Premiership tilt wouldn't come until the '06 youngsters were more mature and experienced.

This year's been expected, although I did think/hope that we'd be more competitive (:D) than we have been.

Absolutely correct - with the players he has at his disposal there is NO excuse for being thrashed week in week out by these margins - we have won 3 quarters for the year and have a % of 50 for god's sake ! I have not seen one hint of a sustainable game plan - how about some accountability...from everyone, including the coach

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
