  • 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.

I liked this. Not close enough to avoiding a clash is it?

Not really a Clash jumper..more a stylised version of what we have. Id be ok with that in NAB games...just not 'real' ones ;)

Yesterday I also sent an email to [email protected] to argue the merits of red&blue clash jumper, and advised we are polling on Demonland.

Got a reply indicating my email had benn forward to the marketing dept.

By the way, Bub, the blue sides look ok, but I prefer the all-red as a clash jumper. You'd have to see the real thing really...

Queen..thats the obligatory $64 isnt it !! myabe they ar taking some ( if only a little ) notice as Ive had more responses back from the club in last week than for many a year !! I take THAT as a plus !!

If I was cynical ( god forbid ) I might think its because any time I respond it might be with money !! lol

I think the club may enjoy that we ( as a group ) are passionate enough to worry or concern oursleves with how the club looks on game day !! The pajamas are Soooooo very wrong.. some other ideas..rather dated..possibly even the ones I like.. The point is.. there is interest.

What needs to happen is the CLUB need to OWN the away jumper, not be told what to wear. we need as a club to decide whether we are simply participating in the competition..or cmpeting in it !!

Im not sure what teh clubwould garner from a decent away jumper..but if they could sell 5000 of them and make 40 on each thats 200,000. But at end of te day ...Id be happy with a jumper I didnt cringe at. If youre paid to play you wear whats given you.. but as a supporter we pay to wear..I dont want crap! ..so far..Ive seen crap!!

The other aspect is if the community at large see we are 'real'..not a pasing fancy..then we may garner a littel more respect..and a few more might feel inclined to join because we are a real club with real identity. Im sure many may think this is ridiculous, but who wants to be associated with night-wear. Collingwood ( bless their littel cruddy hearts ) are given begrudging respect because they stand for something, even if its collective ire.. but what are we ? Maybe some heritage..some thign sound might carry weight. So much is ...visual.

Hello ........(Me),

Thanks for your email. After the vote on our website was split exactly 50-50, we are now working with the AFL to determine a clash jumper design that is unanimously supported by our members, and a predominantly red design will be discussed.

Well..we can only try !! :)

I think the club might be genuinely heartened that we ( supporters) have so much interest in it.

Im probably biased on my preferences..but am glad we are getting a hearing.

Should be interesting to see what comes out of it all :)

Looks awesome. Blue panels makes it a little more modern.

Avoids a clash (especiall with white shorts).

Belzebub, blue or white numbers?

Yeah..I thought the blue panels sort of gave it more form and a bit of a lift. Looks quite dynamic. Im only a lay person though..lol

Previous red clash strips have had white numbers which i prefer. But considering one of the teams we 'clash' with is essendon who has white numbers on red (sort of) the blue numbers may make our case for a red strip stronger.

    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,

    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
