  • 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.

Happy for marketing to go crazy when promoting MFC membership, events, news etc and use players names to draw attention.

But feel sorry for Jonesy having to put his name up for direct marketing promo text messages like the one I got re a MFC sponsor yesterday (won't mention their name). Feels like I am being mislead things its about pure MFC stuff

Don't mind his picture being used above the line on TV, bill boards, magazines etc but not in direct marketing to my personal mobile.

Not a big issues but prefer it didn't happen.

The content wasn't the issue. Just offering to give a MFC jumper if you switch to the sponsors product

Interested to know if you think the club are doing ANYTHING right?  Have a look at your posting history, you have;

- Given a whack to the club for using Jones as part of marketing

- Given Goodwin a huge whack for not playing Trengove (or just taking him to Perth with no intention of playing him), for the way he introduced the co-captaincy, the way the Watts situation was handled, and for playing Spencer in the JLT (FMD).

- Implied that the McCartney article had a hidden agenda of him putting his name out there for potential senior jobs that will no doubt rise this year

- Think that the club is disrespecting the club by not telling us the full extent of Hibberd's injury

All of that just in the past hour.

Cheer up champ.  The season is about to begin, and with any luck, it's going to be longer than normal for us.

Feeling sorry for Jonesy??   Supporting sponsors' products comes with the territory of being a club captain, I would have thought.

What a strange thread. Captain endorsing Sponsors products

We actually need more sponsors,not less...

Not sure it is always wise to endorse Sponsors SWYL.

I remember one a little while back that was less than wonderful.

In fact it was a sham.

Jones didn't exactly send the text himself. Doubt he even cares about what the product is.

The club are very judicious with their marketing and promotion and rarely send direct texts.

If I got 1 a week I'd be a bit annoyed but happy to get one every now and then.

Could be worse, they could ask you to marry a Thai Bride like Demonland.com keeps telling me to do.

I could come at that prospect Ethan. They did briefly put a picture of some strange looking guy with a porn star moustache offering a similar type of deal. I'm broad minded, but I won't go there. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Steer clear of Natasha and Svetlana, but those Thais and Vietnamese are smoking hot.

It's akin to appearing in printed or broadcast advertising. What's the problem? If you appear in an ad, you endorse the product. Why would he be embarrassed?

And the fact that we'll be playing in finals has stuffed my September holidays plans

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.
