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.


We get to choose clash jumper

IMO "A" is complete disaster, it will age in about 2 years and we'll look back thinking jeez what the hell was that. That's the main problem with the all the clash guernseys we've had they've dated quickly and we've never keep one long enough to get used to it.

The one with the MFC is head and shoulder's above the other because it's got history as Bingo has stated and it's classical, it won't age.

I can't believe the vote is so close. I'll be shattered if they choose the constipated demon.

To be honest I wouldn't mind betting opposition supporters are voting so we look like idiots.

Ruined my day seeing these 2 designs, looks like as long as the AFL are handing out money we will bend over for them.

I'm going option 1 though, bring back the demon. Option 2 looks too much like a rip off Carlton guernsey. Don't worry if you think it's outdated, it'll be gone in 2 years when the AFL decides Melbourne must introduce all the colours of the rainbow into their clash guernsey.

This is a great way to kill off our brand even more, no wonder we are insignificant to the rest of the league.

Surely the red jumper we had a few years back was enough evidence that it solved any clash problems.

I don't like either of them but I voted for "A" although I'd like to see the Demon with sharp fangs and blood dripping from them.

Just like the mighty Bolton Wanderers! The whites!

ha ha let's go back to it!!!!!

joking!

The words Mighty & Bolton should never be used in the same sentence. :rolleyes:

Back on topic, I've made a vote and its A. Just for the fact that it brings back our identity as the Demons.

None of the following club's clash/away/alternative strips contain white:

Adelaide - uses red as the predominant colour

Essendon - more red than usual

Port Adelaide - I cheat here because they use silver instead

Richmond - more yellow than usual

West Coast - lighter blue than the home strip

Each of these clubs' regular jumper is predominantly a dark colour (dark blue or black), like Melbourne, which suggests to me that they would clash with similar teams. 2 weeks ago Adelaide played Essendon and wore their clash strip, and there was no clash. So one would assume that a predominantly red jumper for us wouldn't clash either. I don't know why we were told to have white in our jumper. Maybe this isn't the AFL, but it's the club that wants the white.

Which one of those clubs is going cap in hand to the AFL this year asking for more money?

Grow up and get over it people. The Afl is not at all serious about this rule, otherwise it would be handing out massive fines any time one of those clubs wore their "illegal" clash strips, and every time Collingscum ignored the rule completely. The leverage the AFL gains and uses against the poorer clubs every time they're in a crisis is a form of punishment. We only have to listen till we get our house in order, then we can ignore them like everyone else. Take your medicine then that awful white will turn blood red, trust me.

Yeh, look what happened to Nth Melbourne when their home game was against the filth but the AFL made Nth wear their clash jumper because their jumper clashed with the filths clash jumper, which I would define as the doowgnilloC jumper.

furious d, I trust ya mate, I would just like to be standing a bit away from you when all that white turns to blood red.

Red is a light colour compared to our blue dominated jumper. And red clashes less with our supposed clash opposition than white does.

This whole thing is a farce.

The members were upset about not being consulted about the silver disgrace last year, and now the same thing is happening again. People submitted designs and I guarentee 90% were based in red, not in white.

The AFL says it wants light vs dark, not black vs white.

Are we gutless or do we stand for something? The Demon is back, so should the red and blue be.

Unfortunately red doesn't meet the AFL's definition of 'light' when it comes Melbourne. Pretty sure we nominated a reverse jumper at the start of the year but it was knocked back by the AFL, there was a report in the age I think.

I really think if we could have 2 colours, red & blue we would. Fingers crossed Jimmy gets the club up and going financially that we won't need a hand out and then we can throw some weight around regarding this issue.

I completely agree. We should have at least tried.

Correct. It can vary slightly, but we can afford to win by up to 15 points.

good job mate

like how you put the mfc logo, but cant put it there as thats where our sponsor will go.

I dont know i am actually warming towards the new demon logo, its not as horrific as i thought.

I completely agree. We should have at least tried.

The overuse of white in both of the suggested versions makes a mockery of our true colours of red and blue. Our Navy Blue is the colour which causes the AFL the most problems, particularly when we play Essendon and Freo.

Why don't we try to design a jumper using a much lighter shade of blue. Royal blue is not sufficiently a light colour and was not a good look in the 1980's anyway. I was thinking about using the light blue colour used in the Argentine soccor jumper (which North Melbourne are going to use next year) to replace the navy blue. Surely that would be light enough to satisfy the AFL and solve any clash problems.

What do others think of using a light blue in place of the navy blue? At least our colours would remain red and blue and not be seen to be white with a dash of red and blue as suggested in both the alternative clash jumpers which are being voted on at the moment.

I donty mind themn, but the white is crap..

A is better for mine, as I love the return of the demon, but it just looks too much like the bulldogs for me, as soon as I saw it, I thought bulldogs..

But, both are an improvement..

The bombers get waay with red because we are considered to clash with more teams than they do, we clash with Saints, Bombers, Dogs, blues, Dockers etc..

If we say that there are 16 clash jumpers (Two for Brisbane but none for Collingwood), that is 8 out of 16 that are not white based.

The statement that the AFL mandates that club jumpers must be white (or grey) based is a myth. It simply is not true. We CAN have red as the main colour, we just have to have the balls to demand it.

    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
