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.

Seems that in the short term Tigers made an extra $5 Million from their premiership through sale of memorabilia etc.

Of course there should be more to come in increased sponsorship and memberships.

In a way I am surprised that for a club as big as Richmond it is so little. Nice to have but it demonstrates that continued success is vital.

For the Guernsey clash people there is this little gem:

"Ironically, the canary-yellow clash strip Richmond donned in the Grand Final against Adelaide, amid heavy criticism from the likes of club legend Kevin Bartlett, has sold out and more will be available in November."

If it's a soulless place for the scum, I'm confused as to how it would be perfect for us.

I meant that for the pies it has no emotional connection. Certainly not in the way Vic does. Since we moved from the g we have had no home base and even then there was no social club attached.

Olympic park would give us the chance for home for the first time in decades and whilst it might take time we could give the place a demon soul. And as i say its proximity to the g means the place has more spiritual attachment for us than the pies.

My favourite bit of PJs comments was when he said that Jack Watts will always be a Melbourne person. It may not have been intended, but it was as if he was telling Port Adelaide that they'd contracted a mercenary who will never fully commit to his new club. 

Gee you really got that wrong LDC. Unfair to Jack and a very inaccurate interpretation of what PJ meant.

First of all, how is Jack a mercenary?  He didn't leave for more money. You know why he left so why disparage the guy with a comment like that?

Secondly, PJ was simply saying that Jack was a great guy, who was loved at Melbourne and who loved Melbourne. After his time at Port was up he believed that Jack would consider himself a Melbourne man and get involved with the club. PJ also said that he was going to catch up with Jack when he was back in Melb soon.

More specifically with our plans this draft to take 4 picks where we started with 10, 27, 45, 63, 81

After compensation picks ...

Watts pick in 31, Balic pick out 66 ...

Trade 2nd rounder: 10, 31, 47, 84
Trade 1st rounder and get Crows 2nd back: 29, 31, 36, 47

It's actually 10 + 84 vs 29 + 36

Do you really understand this or are you just making it up?

It is actually almost the same deal as giving up a first and second round pick outright. 

It also keeps us very much in the game come Draft time. Those 3 picks between 29 and 36, plus another that comes 10 picks later, could be more than handy.

Xarron, I think you've misinterpreted what I intended to say. Nevertheless, let me make clear I don't believe Jack's a mercenary and I certainly didn't intend to disparage him in any way. I was trying instead to foment some inter-club rivalry. Obviously I failed.

Didn’t Footscray make an extra $2m from their premiership merch etc.?

If Tigers did double that then it’s pretty impressive

I don't know how much WB made, but they certainly started selling out membership packages where they hadn't done so before.

They also started pouring money into marketing initiatives in an attempt to make hay while the sun was shining, but then fell down the ladder. Oops.

I was shown round our training facilities about 4 years ago and was quite impressed. [...]  However my guide being employed by the club would only speak in positive terms about the facility.

I was happy to hear  that it was being addressed at board level and will be super happy when / if we finally cross that threshold!!!

I'll believe it when I see it. I went to a function way back when Stynes was Prez, and he was talking about the need for a long-term base because AAMI was inadequate. This may have even been before we signed up for the facility we're in now! Either way, it was pretty clear the Club knew they needed better than what they were getting.

Interesting about the new HQ.

Docklands is out of the question too much a green field site.

Stake Holders ie Council and State Government has a big say in what is available.

PJ said they are looking for a CBD site close to The "G"

Now unless it is The "G" or a redeevlopment of Yarra Park to incorporate a new training, Gym and Social facility, I cant think of any CBD site close to the "G" that could handle it

I’ve often wondered about Fawkner Park?

I suppose the point I was trying to make is that given the annual turnover of the big clubs a premiership is nice from a cash viewpoint but not a panacea. Rather you need sustained success and several premierships such as Hawthorn have delivered.

Will be interested to see how Geelong's stadium deal goes from a financial viewpoint. They have a "clean" stadium so they get all the ground advertising but of course they have only about 8 games at the stadium.

    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
