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.

Seems a few noisy numpties are carpet-bombing the site with anti-Neeld diatribes at the moment.

Let's see what kind of support they have among Melbourne supporters.

Simple yes or no poll.

Before you vote, please read the thread, 'total faith in the neeld way'.

Healthy debate about the subject.

I've read that thread and the one thing it doesn't address is just what a frigging cess pool would be left if we removed another coach and who his replacement would be, therefore to suggest Neeld be removed is a totally moronic suggestion. I despair for the capacity to think clearly of those who vote in favour of his removal.

What if we can replace him with Roos or malthouse?

Would our club be better off?

Roos has said he doesn't wnat to coach and our club stands for nothing, does that sound like he wants to enter an application? How the hell would you get Malthouse to replace his former, sacked assistant? Aren't we trying to build integrity around our club?

Wow... Worst poll ever.

If people are genuinely calling for the sack then we know who to ignore, but my impression is that most who are being labelled with that are either calling for more accountability of the coaching staff and/or questioning why the same posters saying "you don't know if he's bad or not, needs more time" are also saying "I have faith in Neeld".

It's a circular argument, and pretty obviously this poll was started and worded in such a way as for point scoring by certain posters.

Henceforth, I won't be voting in this thread, and I'm TOTALLY SICK of the same 4-5 posters over running every thread with their name calling and off topic posts.

STOP RUINING DEMONLAND.

What if What if, that's about the extent if your thinking. Did you read the on the couch thread? Roos thinks we are irrelevant as a club and this is the man who you would have as coach, Jesus H Christ do you ever think things through or do you think that by just spouting out a name as coach it will napped? What about we try for Clarkson or maybe Buckley or perhaps Hird, we might even give Barras another go.

Malthoouse pushed Neeld to the front when we were looking for a coach he recommended him; do you seriously think he would now undermine him.

The poll couldn't be any more simply worded.

Don't like the results Stu?

12 - 1 ... not looking good for the anti-Neeldists.

No idea what the results are, and frankly don't care.

This poll is an obvious point scoring thread set up by you and is one of the more immature things I've seen on Demonland (which is saying something).

You guys have already ruined one thread (at least) and now you're starting new ones for your pi55ing contests.

Nice try mate. But once again you miss the point in your eternal quest to start conflict.

I posted here, and reported this thread, because I'm sick of this rubbish back and forth you keep going with other posters that is repetitive and not related to our football club.

Grow up.

It's just a simple poll, Stu. You really are getting your knickers in a twist over it.

13 - 1.

Your motives are transparent for someone who always accuses others of "agendas".

I don't cast others' votes for them, Stu.

I'm for Neeld. No issue with that. Think he'll be there next year and help us get some success.

Seems a few others think the same eh?

I'm sure they do, as do I, but as I pointed out in the "Faith in Neeld" thread, there's more to it than a simple yes and no, and you know that, hence the "simple" poll.

Funnily enough you chose to reply to this post and not the other one which was actually about football...

Got to at least give him a draft and some kids to work with - regardless of any 'points scoring' or bickering that might be going on, he needs more time.

We don't ditch the under performing draftees after half a year languishing in the reserves.

Happy to allow Neeld his full three years to not only instigate change, but affect it.

I will abstain from voting because until some drastic changes are made higher up he has Buckley's chance of proving anything.

How does that stop you from either wanting him there or not ? Are you not in effect saying he needs time to prove something ? You think that will/would or could happen in the short time left thi sseason.Almost by default yours is a vote for keeping.

What changes, weve a whole new FD ffs. Things take time.

Watched On The Couch last night. Roos labelled the MFC as irrelevant, and I immediately thought to myself 'who's the dude on Demonland who keeps saying rather mindlessly - "get Roos" - like we could even if we wanted to?'

Well thanks for reminding me tonatopia.

I have one simple question for you: Do you still believe in the tooth fairy?

Some people in Kansas actually think the earth is 6,000 years old and that dinosaurs didn't exist because they weren't mentioned in the Bible.

It's hard to convince them the earth is in fact about 4.54 billion years old and that the universe is now estimated to have been created about 13.7 billion years ago.

Time for you to get real. Malthouse and Roos don't want to coach this club. They will effectively select the club they wish to coach if they want another senior gig - and, cop a tip, it's not ours.

And it never has been.

Since you are basing your argument on what if's I'll join. What if we had Malthouse instead of Neeld? If we had the same amount of wins under malthouse this year no one would be questioning him because he has runs on the board. Every one would be waiting for the list to be culled at the end of the year. A bad list is a bad list. Simple.

    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

    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.

    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
