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.


Sponsorship Problem?

I think what you say makes perfect sense. However, some brands will be a tad more aggressive and try to get in front of the wave, not just ride the wave. Then you can build a long-term relationship that can ride the highs and the lows - but I concede easier said than done. But if you remain positive, stay focused and consistent with your message - big brands are always looking for the right opportunity to grow in a partnership.

How many bigger companies are there sponsoring AFL clubs than Zurich? That's a big deal. 

And Infiniti might give us an in with Nissan. Either way, looks good.

 

Well said we have a very bright future in a very tough environment. Today is another positive day for our club and our new sponsor.

I should have clicked earlier with his repeated mentions of "Negativity" etc etc

How on Earth is the twit allowed to have an account on here?  At least we dont have to worry about the current site owners selling out. ( Not blaming the owner of Demonology as i understand his health wasnt so great at the time).

Dr Who wasnt even a MFC supporter if my memory is correct.

Well there was a poster on Big Footy called Dr Who use to go for Melbourne then changed to GWS and spent most his time putting down Melbourne. It was sad.

He certainly isn’t now, but all his ideas and statements are brilliant, according to himself...

Sounds like a similiar person. He is a Tiger right now. No idea why he has set up a camp here posing as Demon. 

He was right into Carlscums elite training about 5 seasons ago, that went well....

As far as corporate pep talks went, it was in a class with this.

Come to think of it, had CS gone in and done that in the eve of 148 instead of Neeldy's unblinking serial killer shtick, we may have reduced the margin by at least 4 goals.

This new Infiniti deal is an interesting one. 

Mere speculation only, however I wonder if iSelect's BOJ deal was minimal, but as we wanted to repay the faith, we kept them as BOJ. This then meant we needed to sign another major sponsor to fill the gap in expected BOJ sponsorship.

The only problem with this theory is I'm not sure what Infiniti get out of the deal exposure-wise. Surely, they'd want jumper coverage...?

iselect is a principal sponsor (along with zurich)

infiniti is a major sponsor (along with 8 others)

it would all be decided by $$$$$s

Gotcha. Pays to actually read things properly, eh? ;)

It's a big photoshoot to roll out for a major sponsor. But I like it. Boosts the brand value in the eyes of many. A chance to get more eyes on all our sponsors and a good news story.

"The deal includes INFINITI branding on select team apparel, media walls and inside the team rooms during game broadcasts, hospitality at Melbourne home matches, player ambassadors and game day activation opportunities."

Thanks RD. Yeah, I saw this, but doesn't seem like much if it was a principal sponsorship deal. Turns out I didn't realise there were principal AND major sponsors.

True, I had to actually look up  the difference between principal and major sponsors  on the club website.

I assume Infiniti  would also get to request a certain level of player to be their ambassador. 

Hence Lever, Trac and Hogan in today's photos. They may not be the ambassadors but  are probably indicative of the value of the sponsorship.

I like the idea, good for the club, good for the sponsor - and gives the players a sense of how important they are to us10/10 to everyone.

But you run a Jeep ? Dr. 

Surely you wouldn’t want to offend your own sponsors...?

I believe he was named by Rod Grinter Riot Squad in the fallout from 'Ology folding.

I won't repeat his real name  here as it might be like Beetlejuice in that if you say it enough times, he appears in your direct vicinity.

Not sure about that. I met a guy at training one day who introduced himself as RGRS. Seemed OK! Could have been lying?

Well done on those at the club who did the hard yards laying the groundwork for the clubs current position. This time last year we didn't have a BOJ sponsor and we've just signed another lucrative sponsor to go with Zurich in the last few months.

Congrats to PJ, Bartlett et al for the work they've done

I think CBF was saying that RGRS named the poster, as in gave his real name, as opposed to was named RGRS

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    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
