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 AFL agreement with all clubs is they control merchandise.

Hi, Every one newbie here. Just on the topic of Melbourne gear etc. About two years ago i was in a sport shop in the city and bought my self a laddies silver watch with the old logo with the emblem on it, i asked the person who had sold me the watch why there wasn't a lot of Demon gear as there was for other teams? He response was Melbourne licience. I asked what do you mean and he said Melbourne is a very hard team to deal with.

Well last year my friend and i were at Highpoint shopping center and my friend was going to her daughter one of those build a bears, i noticed on the back wall little football jumpers and thought i would look for the demon one of course; there wasn't one so i asked the lady and she said sorry we don't stock any Melbourne ones, i asked how come? she said the same thing as the guy in the city.

So when you guys were talking about Melbourne gear i thought i would jump on and let you guys know.

Please forgive my spelling and grammar errors i have dyselexia and may get a lot wrong spelling wrong.  So i am very sorry if i do, i will try my best not to make so many.

I have been a Melbourne member and cheer squad member for 17 years now this year will be my 18th and i also used to be a member when i was a kid up until i was 18 but after having a baby let it laps for a few years in my early teens. I know what the was i thinking?:( but i will not let it happen again.:rolleyes:

Bug you should email PJ with that, We have to get our gear into the shops

It's 101 stuff, i am shocked at what you have written and thankyou for bringing it to the attention of myself and others

We have no right to be hard to deal with, The MFC should be proactive in getting our name out there.

I was going to buy gear at XMAS time and went to go the Demon Shop but abandoned it as there is zero places to park. Stupid

Binman, just FYI, there is an underground carpark next to the Demon Shop. If you tell the guy on the gate that you're there to go to the shop, he will find a spot for you to park. 

I've done it about 4 times.

I understand the clothing range will be liked by many. But I'm not one for "Jones Nerd" tees, "Ugly" tees and sweaters, large retro logos, "Army Hoodies" or "2 tees in a tin". I'm older and want to support my club but in an understated sort of way. I also play golf, where a lot of the time dress rules prohibit logos and loud slogans. I don't even want "Member 2017" added because it immediately dates the item. 

I did look at the polos. The 2017 Premium Polo is only available in two sizes (S and XL), and has no product information. The 2017 members polo is "sold out" in every size except S, and lists "back print" under the information (but doesn't show a picture of what's printed on the back). The Media Polo is plastered with the commercial logos of our sponsors. The 2017 Logo Polo is already sold out in L and XL.

So there is no apparel at all in the Demon Shop that I'd buy. I think they could do more with understated but quality clothing for older members like me.

Yes, they have input but a lot of it comes down to the manufacturer, trust me.

I agree that blue should be our main colour, the red polo shirts look terrible.

The only thing the manufacturer has complete artistic control over is training and media apparel, but even then the club has to tick it off. NB have a global look they have shared through all of their Field of Play partners (Liverpool, FC Porto, Celtic), however MFC could have easily said no to this.

I do understand the fact you want a simple polo that you can wear golfing and the like, but you take away the branding/logo to others it's just a red & blue polo. It does nothing to promote the club, which is what merch is for.

Branding and logos can be done subtly also. A lot of golfing stuff is...its just not in your face. Id reckon there's a reasonable niche market for what Maurisey suggests .

Me too bb. I buy very little sporting branded gear because it is so in your face. 100% my age I guess but I don't wear "boy racer" type branding that is all over the garment. Simple "BMW' Logo type on one breast  is my go. Sadly I cannot afford a BMW.

I know it defeats the purpose of revenue to the club, but if you want something 'specific' it's pretty easy to get it produced nowadays.

I didn't say I didn't want an MFC logo in it. I'd be quite happy to buy one like that.

There will never be Demons' merchandise available in Northern or Western suburbs department stores because the demand is almost negligible.. that's the reality of supporting our club.

Having had retail outlets in those areas ,selling AFL endorsed products, I speak with inside knowledge

Why?

 

WHo was suggesting selling our stuff in the western suburbs. Surely you would get some sales by selling Melbourne branded gear in CBD locations where tourist frequent (eg Southern Cross Station, fed square).

And whilst i respect your knowledge on this matter OD surely to goodness we could negotiate with the AFL to allow us to have some autonomy about where we sell Melbourne branded product. I mean it is in the AFL's interest we become more financially  viable. One for a healthy comp but also because they would have tto pay us less equalisation money.

They can put a man on the moon but we can't get our merchandise into a gift store at Flinder Street railway station?  Puhleease.

How about:

They can create an incredibly elaborate ruse that that has fooled the world that they put a man on the moon but they can't get MFC apparel sold anywhere else in the CBD but on Brunton Avenue in the bowels of the MCG?

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
