  • 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.

And Again!! (Getting Stupid Now)

Sorry to harp on about this...but I think it is time action must be taken.

Yet again Foxtel and Seven are showing Syd v Ric at the same time this Sunday.

Good Side = Dees will annihilate the Saints

Bad Side = We have to wait until the 7:30pm or 12:00am replay to see it.

'Promoting the game' hahahaha haha more like promoting a team!

I am absolutely sick of this!!!

This is the email address to foxsports however i know from previous attempts that it is useless.

[email protected]

I think the next couple of games for us are at 2.00pm on a Sunday which means that it will not be telecast live!!

Guess I will have to stay away from tv and radios all day until 7.30pm for a while.

I think you'd have to talk to the AFL, or channel 7. Because fox have to show 2 sunday games live don't they? to keep 4 a round. Maybe try to get a hold of a media relations person from the AFL?

Sunday AFL Coverage in ACT, NSW and QLD

Dear Sir/ Madam,

For a third week this year both Foxtel and Channel Seven are showing the same game, at the same time, on the same day into the ACT, NSW and QLD.

This Sunday's game between Sydney and Richmond will be shown live on Foxtel and Seven into ACT, NSW and the QLD leaving no live coverage of the 2pm game.

I can understand the need to expose the Sydney and Brisbane based teams into their respective areas. However I see no reason why at least one of the two channels can show the alternative game. After all I thought the idea was to promote the 'Game' rather than select teams. I have also noted the games shown have been blow outs, while the other, 2.10 games have been close contests.

Seven really needs to have a look at this seriously as this does not occur for any other sport in Australia. I have also noticed that Seven sometimes shows alternate AFL shows into the ACT, NSW and QLD on Seven HD (Sunday's at 10:30am). At the very least I would have thought the 2.10 game could be broadcast on Seven HD as you are already covering the game for Victorian viewers.

This is not a one off situation and I am not sure it has been picked up by Seven, the AFL or Foxtel.

Many other ACT, NSW and QLD based AFL fans would like to see some action taken on this. If need be a petition will be distributed and delivered to you.

Regards,

Are you sure it's not on main event (for NSW/QLD/ACT only) this Sunday?? - though it didn't happen yesterday, often when Swans are on Fox Sports and 7 or 10 the other game goes onto Main event.

Nah Kryton, only for Friday night games have I noticed they use the Main Event channel. I cant believe this is happening again. This is 3 out of the last 4 games, unbelievable!!!!!!!

Yep, I headed to the local club in sunday just to be told that the Demons game couldn't be shown up here. Just the one game showing, the other was cricket of some kind, with one guy snoring gently in front of it.

It would seem pretty basic maths - two simultaneous channels (seven/ten plus foxtel), two games live.

The previous day I'd headed down on a whim to catch Carlton v Freo and Port v Sydney.

Couldn't catch either for 45 minutes - replay of the Friday night Collingwood game was the only thing on offer.

The live football had to wait for the filth to finish up.

Guys your wasting your time...

It would be valid to do all these things if the afl cared..but they dont

Its about the almighty dollar and who will pay what for advertising.. nothing to do with the acrtual game.. if they think they will get more sponser money, advertising money from a different game then they will go with that.. until melbourne lifts itself from the bottom of the ladder things wont change..

remember when we made the finals.. tv coverage was sweet the whole of the next year.. and our draw was pretty good too..

its all about supporters going and advertising.. sad but true..

You dont want to know how much they try and charge for queens birthday game advertising...Crazy almost as bad a a full page in the herald sun for a month

Have you written to the AFL?

I have written twice to the AFL (the second letter was addressed personally to Demetriou). Didn't even do me the courtesy of acknowledging my correspondence, let alone responding to the concerns I raised about promoting the AFL in the traditionally non-AFL regions.

I live in Canberra and last year we had the even more ridiculous situation of both free to air TV and Foxtel broadcasting the Melbourne v Swans game that was played at Manuka Oval!

Not confident that it will do any good, but I'd hapilly pin my name to a petition. I'm sure members of the Canberra Demons would do likewise.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    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
