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.


BCNA Pink Lady match this weekend

Recommended Posts

Not sure if it has been mentioned anywhere and it really deserves its own thread but this game against Hawthorn is the Pink Lady Match supporting the BCNA. There will be 1000's of Pink Lady silhouettes planted in Yarra Park and it is a very moving site. I looked at the MFC web page and could not find it mentioned anywhere but found it on the BCNA page. I am hoping it gets more publicity as the week rolls by. It is very close to my heart as I lost my Mum to breast cancer nearly a year ago. If you are at the game, please make a donation. Every cent counts.

So the Dees wil be in pink and blue.

Hope the moron in charge of umpire attire doesn't repeat the idiotic call and put them in pink too, as they did all those years ago when it cost us a rare Friday night game vs Dogs. Wouldn't be surprised actually  if they did.

Will be in pink Lewis had the jumper on AFL360, but was never spoken about I wouldn't have known this was the bcna game this week if I didn't see it on AFL360 so the media coverage of it I would assume will pick up as the week goes on it is only Tuesday

Find it particularly odd its been handled this way. Just thought it would be the Doggies game for some reason. 

Poor effort

Really disappointing how we've dropped the ball on this. Not only MFC but the AFL as well. It's not only a fund-raiser but a vehicle to continue to raise awareness.

Cricket Australia by comparison continue to do a brilliant job through the McGrath Foundation via the Sydney Test.

The first couple of years that MFC had this an outstanding job was done. Maybe if we're not gonna be fair dinkum about it, we should pass it to a club that will. Poor.

I'm intrigued about this game. What's our connection to the BCNA? Why are the MFC the common element of the BCNA games?

One of my best friends works for the BCNA and I'm seeing her this weekend at the game, so I'll ask her, but in the meantime, does anyone else know?

From memory, it's always been a game against the Bulldogs. Why has it changed to a match between us and Hawthorn?

It should be a night game against the bulldogs. The pink lady lit up a few years back a the G was a great sight.

The Dees and the Dogs were the pioneers of the woman's game and had this built up for a few years and was a recognisable game on the calendar. I feel we have dropped the ball a bit here and as mentioned above with the pink test it's something we could have built up into a showcase.

They could have even had a women's exhibition match. Dogs v Dees or even an all stars game or women's state of origin.

Should be a blockbuster raising money for a good cause and the profile of our club.

I have a feeling the Field of Women might be a different event... 

My wife and I lost a friend of  ours a few years ago to Breast Cancer so we make a point of going to these games. 

I too have not been able to find out anything about it. The BCNA website says all proceeds from GA tickets go to BCNA, and you can click a link to buy BCNA GA tickets, but you can't get any childrens tickets through there. Then if you find some other way to the ticketek website you can get GA and Children's tickets but it doesn't say anything about BCNA...

The main Field of Women night match is every second year. In between (this year) there's a match like this week's but it's more a fundraiser.

This year we only play the Bulldogs in Round 13 at Etihad.

Surely there is enough interest in this to do every year.

I think it was a joint decision by Melbourne and BCNA to make it every second year to make it a more special event. 

I agree that there hasn't been much coverage and it being the BCNA match for the year. There should be plenty of spruiking to get people donating and wearing pink at the game.

Jordan Lewis wore the pink polo on AFL 360 last night and they displayed the jumper that will be worn this weekend. He also mentions it in his article about the ridiculous out of bounds rule, declaring that his wife lost both grandmothers to breast cancer so it is an issue close to his eart. The function at the G is a "High Tea" at 1.30 in the Harrison Room Sunday.

The link to the BCNA website is https://www.bcna.org.au/news/2017/03/help-turn-the-mcg-pink-to-support-breast-cancer-at-the-2017-pink-lady-match/

The resources of BCNA to promote the event are not limitless. Every two years is enough for them, without taking away from their main purpose which is to support women with breast cancer.

Thanks. Not bad. Just a side point though. 6 rounds in, how many times have we worn our traditional home strip so far?? 3 out of six? I can think of four different jumpers we have worn this season and it's Rd 7.

You're not wrong on that, it seems that seeing our boys in the traditional good old red and blue are becoming something of an event.

That said this is a fantastic cause and I'm glad we are doing what we can to help, as long as the umpires don't go pink again (I still can't fathom that one!).

    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
