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.


iSelect - new BOJ sponsor

Timing wise, if a deal has been struck, I'd announce it just before the season starts. Might bring in a few extra members and build further momentum. In PJ we trust.

Hmmm....
I'm a little worried about the lack of BOJ sponsor. PJ hasn't put a foot wrong really since arriving but I think he will need to get cracking on this one.
That being said, it should happen before round 1. I just would like it to happen sooner.

Exactly. There is no way he isn't on top of it. Going into the season without a BOJ sponsor would be future career suicide for a CO of Jackson's standards. They just don't make these sorts of mistakes. I feel pretty confident we are just waiting to time the announcement for maximum effect. Or maybe they're just held up a bit due to actually doing some research on the company this time before accepting bundles of tainted cash.

TAC has some cash to spare, although Clarry got done for speeding recently.

Drink driving I thought. Let's be honest any TAC/footy club partnership is fraught with danger. They've already had to cut ties with Collingwood, Richmond and Geelong due to player indescretions.

For impact and "impression" youd announce it AFTER the pretend footy and before the real ;)

you'll have to trust in pj. yeah, i know, time is running out. suspect (actually hope) he has a few options and holding out for better price

In my view at this point there are two options.

We have one and are waiting for the best time to release it or there is none at this point.

This may be PJ's first failure

It is difficult to find the right time if you don't have one to announce bb.

I would have thought the club was a good      place for a sponsorship right now. 

I find the whole thing very strange...

Maybe companies are still to forgive CS for the way he dealt with sponsorships, no doubt Company CEO's would have talked amongst themselves back then. 

For an emerging AFL Club who is part of a $2 Bill broadcast deal to not have a BOJ Sponsor at the beginning of a season is just wrong...

May well be a storm in a tea cup SWYL. we will know one way or the other in 17 days time.

PJ and co have earnt the right for us to give them the benefit of the doubt. However supporters are naturally wary due to the failures of previous administrations. It's not a big deal at the moment as I have faith that the club are working on this to ensure it gets done by round 1, it's just a little odd at the moment is all especially with our increased exposure and expected upturn in performance.

How can you know..if not announced ? That's my point. Roll them out when you get more of an impact. The club is now very good at keeping mum until it wants to release its news.

Young men will never learn not to drink-drive ... but the TAC should know that. They are the slow learners.

Can we not just put AHG on our back until we find a new sponsor?

We look like amateur hour without a back sponsor. I feel like I'm watching the Dees circa 1993.

Whatis the point in that?

telling potential companies that we don't need more sponsorship?

Clown School.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    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

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
