    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.

It was reported on the rumour file this morning on 693 that the Melbourne Football Club is trying to woo an Indian prince who is apparently willing to pledge a cool $20 million towards the club.

Nice coin if we can get it.

However, it's just a rumour at this stage.

Lol and why would an Indian Prince of all ppl want to drop off that amount of coin to the MFC?

To annoy the Chinese who have already got us to drop the Demon. Turns out the Prince loves Demons and has always wanted his own footy team.

Well we do train on a cricket oval most of the year at the junction. Maybe he was here and saw 40 fit-looking blokes running around the wicket area thinking he was getting a whole cricket squad?

We'd have to change our name from MelbourneFC to the Melbourne KnightRiders.

You know i've been thinking about this, and a couple of years ago my dad lost his Demon hat when he went to India. Maybe this prince picked it up and has become a life-long supporter of our great club!

A few points.

He may be an Indian prince as in a Rajah, (more likely a steel magnate from Mumbai or a smart lad from Bangalore though) but Raj means a totally different thing. I doubt he'll be jumping up and down celebrating Britain's rule of India for a few hundred years. Apart from the legacy of a great rail network.

It's a 'tabla', never heard of a tubla! Check out any recording of Ali Akbar Khan to hear his tabla player going wilder than Keith Moon could ever imagine.

This rumour may be true though as a few Ganeshas have graced my various abodes over the years. (Good fortune elephant god in the Hindu pantheon for the youngsters.) I always knew the ship would come in!

I'm all for an Indian messiah and I'm ready to convert whenever the $20 mill. hits the table. Looking forward to Holi already. Plenty of red and blue thrown around.

I heard about this rumor a few wees back, linked to a former player who was involved in the deal. I spoke to said player at the Walk To The 'G, and he assured me it was true.

So take that for what it's worth.

And the reason I'm not naming names, he asked me not to.

Wow, it does sound like I'm making it up doesn't it? I'm not one for gossip, and am only telling you what I heard.

well the plot thickens...

is the rumour file just goons calling in making up rumours, or is it rumours that have gotten to the people at 3AW, therefore you'd expect to have reasonably reliable sources...

I find this story of having an Indian Prince offering us $20 million dollars very hard to believe. :blink:

As MFC supporters/member we should try and raise money to keep our club alive through our own efforts.

If 20,000 MFC supporters/members donated $25 a week for 20 weeks (about a season) we would raise $10 million dollars. Over 40 weeks (about 2 seasons) we would have be able to raise our OWN $20 million dollars without any help.

I realise it would take a lot of effort but it would be possible.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
