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.

the new demon sucks

im now going for option B because i hate that logo and i hope and prey that it will not be our logo next year

if we are officially going back to the demon, either use the 2007 demon or start fresh, dont just make the 2007 look worse

Love the people who refuse to vote, as if that does anything. No one hears your silent protest. If you don't like either, pick the one you hate less.

Melbourne do not have the stability / wealth / support to refuse AFL instructions on a clash jumper, how can you not see this?

Our game is UNIQUE and it should stay that way

If people get told long enough that there are jumpers that clash then people will actually start believing it

There is no clash

If we must i have no idea why they cant just invert the jumper ......isnt that what Collingwood did

can someone actually show me what Collingwoods so called clash jumper looks like ?

That is only my opinion on the two options.

That said, why are we forced to choose a white clash strip? I don't understand why teams like Essendon can get away with their design and we have to come up with something like that (yes, yes a constitution you say). Do the AFL bully the MFC? What other decisions (perhaps recent) have the AFL hand their hand in? I don't know. I can only speculate. Yes, I am sceptical of our relations with the AFL.

The filth don't take any [censored] from the AFL...the scum that is Esssendon don't take any [censored] from the AFL. It is the MFC that shouldn't be taking [censored] from ANYBODY. But, I digress... the MFC have their reasons. The board knows more about our circumstances that anyone us. Maybe we are forced to cut our loses and loose this battle (and a few more to come). I understand that. As long as we win the war.

I'm going option 1 though, bring back the demon. Option 2 looks too much like a rip off Carlton guernsey.

I agree.

As you say, Option A gives more prominence to the 'Demon', which everyone apparently loves.

It's probably more kid-friendly too, and lets face it - older people aren't going to jump ship because of a jumper :P

the new demon sucks

I'm not a fan either.

This is my reply from the club......

Thank you for your feedback and thanks for voting today. It is an AFL requirement for the basis of the clash strip to be a light colour, so as to avoid clashes with other clubs whose players wear a dark strip.

Kind Regards MFC.

So I replied saying Essendon has no white !!!

Tell the AFL, not the MFC - directly, or via the media.

Indeed.

Fwiw, votes at 1:1 ratio atm.

they are both fine, option b being the better

stop your whinging all of you- yes we know that essendon and collingwood make slight alterations but who cares

english premier league clubs that have been around the same time (but we're just older!!!) ie man United etc. have totally different colour away/clash strips

they are fine- at the end of the day, we want to be winning footy, and we arent going to play all those teams in an away game to wear it 5 times in the season anyway.

LOL...

Agreed thats one ugly demon, I like the predominantly red one from prevous years

B for me.

743 votes....50/50 ????? I reckon it's stopped calculating. Every time I check it's 50/50.... and how can that be with an odd number of votes

Hmmm....decisions decisions.

I don't really like either but I decided to choose Option A because Jimmy Stynes wants to bring us back as the Melbourne DEMONS!

this is rigged.... still 50/50 but lots more votes

Had a similar response to some back form club as to why the Red one we liked wasnt a goer.. . Am asking the AFL what constitutes "light " for colour now.. And sure if its about clash then it cant be all black and white because we know where that goes !! :lol::lol:

I know Jimmy is keen on the Demon.. hell..we are Demons. .but thats a pretty lame Demon.. .. I think id much prefer the other MFc emblem one on the field.. Am amazed its even stevens to tell the truth

Purely unintentional ..but we get a Devilish One eyed Demon keeping watch over our beloved MFC !!

I hate the pretend choice. There is no third option ('neither'), so the result is meaningless - but will be presented as 'the jumper you wanted'.

Our heritage is sold down the river as soon as we include white on the jumper.

'Every heart beats true for the red and the blue and the white.'

I don't think so.

ok, what if you used the jumper that yuo have suggested BUT continued the v line (the bottom part of the demon) up to the shoulders of the jumper, then inverted the red and white colours in that region.

so it was a white jumper with a red yolk, a white demon face in the red yolk and the blue mfc monogram.

any chance you can do that so we can have a look?

i saw on bigfooty someone saying some guy did a design of a demon logo within 30 min saying he could do better than the one we had this year. Seriously i cant believe we payed like 1 million bucks ( thats what people were reporting) for that logo this year, wonder why we are in debt!!

But anyway i found the logo the guy made- not sure if its been shown here but i REALLY like it? Anyone else?

Melbournelogohoogs.jpg

EDIT- I voted for B

354 Votes- 51 =49% to B Favour at the moment

Love that demon! Looks evil, just what we need. Better than the frown the old demon's wearing on option A. I reckon option A would look much, much better if the blue was a solid straight hoop the width of the demons yoke (the v shaped bit). It'd recreate our home strip a bit more.

I showed the options to my 7yr old nephew who is a Melbourne fan. He instantly identified the demon as Melbourne and thought the other one was Carlton and i agree.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers.

    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

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim
