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.

Didn’t he post on Big Footy as Dr Who as a GWS supporter? Always posting anti-Melbourne stuff? 

Not sure on BF, i only read it occasionally, but nothing would suprise me with the good Dr. He is going in hard today, must have spiked the dosage...

That’s the one ding

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.

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

    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.
