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.


Every theme song will be re-done by AFL

Aside from making it faster, higher and generally weaker they've ruined my favourite part of the song.

Excuse my lack of musical knowledge but about a minute in to the song during the instrumental section there's a really nice fluttering trumpets that matches up to 'we sing this song to you flutter flutter flutter'

In the new version is just tapers off. It's we sing this song to you bleh bleh bleh

It's lacking the character and sparkle of the original. Yuck

I've been in touch with Fenriz from Darkthrone, it's in the works.

Only in Nocturno sings like he did on Blaze! 

Personally would prefer Pest or Varg to do the singing. If Varg did it we could use a pic of one of the burnings he did as the song played.

See, basically exactly the same as the older version.

Sure, not a major change, but WTF does Gil have to change it at all.

He is a bloody control freak who just makes changes to boost his own ego.

Get stuffed Gil and leave us alone. 

Probably thinks he can ‘take credit’ for improving ‘the brand’, and cover his own failings  

I will be interested to hear Titus O’Reilly’s take.

Bring in Abbath as the new match day mascot as well. The kids would be all over the crab walk.

Not as big a change as I feared it may be.  

The trumpet/bugle is noticeable different.

Doubt this was a hands on decision from Gil.


The problem is the AFL has a huge excess of staff who have to justify their jobs. Someone went to Gil and said they could digitally remaster the songs and make them better, that sounds smart, but it's not what they've done.

Gil's problem is he trusts his massive inflated staff when he needs to confront a bunch of them and remove them and use the extra money and resources elsewhere.

Why must things that are not broken be fixed my the modern day's sense of superiority?

The AFL should leave well enough alone, lest the fans turn on them en masse, and resent their intervention.

It's funny how so many want to keep the old original versions, tradition lol...well I think we were singing the song before the Ron Tudor recorded versions in the 70's.

To my thinking those Fable versions have always been lame and they're hardly part of heritage, particularly ours.

We haven't won a premiership since they've been around.

I don't care about other clubs but it's time for a proper rehash of the Grand Old Flag...one with some balls.

I sit in on a guitar group that play in the local bar in the village I live in. Have done so for years. After a lot of red wine and talking I got them to do a Spanish guitar version of Grand Old Flag. I get it played when we win, usually very late at night when we have all had enough. 

Had a few lost Aussies that had wandered into the bar and not believed what they were hearing.

Bloody atrocious! A national anthem is our song - as it is! I want my grandkids to take their children to the  'G, to sit in the Sthn Stand and to listen to the victory song of the Dees being belted out as a representation of the historical recurrence of such an outcome. A new song, yeah, yeah, just won't do that, baby, baby. We should not allow Gill to dictate to us in this matter; should he go ahead, we should then be ready to substitute the historical song for the existing song on every occasion. It is our choice as members, supporters and sectional interests of the general public. The diction is too good to miss, as well. Men of Harlech stand together .... imagine.  

You're spot on, the Dill needs to have his eye lids pinned open and be placed in front of a massive screen playing Zulu on loop until he UNDERSTANDS!!!

so, more money down the drain that could have gone to grass roots footy

surprised they didn't get meatloaf to do the vocals

..and they are really screwing grassroots footy now 'daisy'.

Amazing what they have been doing to the local umpires, the ones they tell us there wouldn't be a game without and have umpires appreciation days or whatever...

This AFL are a greedy bunch and they're making off with our money.

...but don't get me started.

Wrong.  It is his over inflated ego he trusts

You are right rjay.

I would like our own MFC version rather than an AFL sanctioned one. I don't particularly like the bulldogs version (perhaps too much change) but it is their own.

For those old enough to remember perhaps we need the MFC equivalent of the "National Anthem Debate".

Now for the next line... our anthem is based upon a jingoistic US song... Dare we dream :mad:

lol @ the Bulldogs version.  Their fans are going to be furious.

All of them suck though.  No bass, no balls,  unorganic.  Sad times.

Great job Gil and the AFL.  You [censored] morons.

    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
