  • 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.

Great idea, good luck with it.

A couple of points -

Probably not the best idea to publish their upper limit on the forum - makes it easy for someone else to come over the top. I might remove that bit of the email - if you still want it there you can edit it back in :P

You might also want to be willing to stump up all the cash pledged, since it's not certain all pledges via the net will be delivered.

EDIT: Note that you can make tax-deductible donations to the Mt. Theo program, so that might be a good way to go about contributing.

Further info @ http://www.ourcommunity.com.au/mttheo

Thanks Rogue. In my original post I didn't include the figures but then thought it was best to be transperent. Thought it was a long shot that anyone bidding against us would read what we're trying to achieve and outbid us, but maybe I am just naive?

Stump the pledges?

Happy to finalize the finances early next week. Some have mentioned ways of doing this, let's discuss. I am travelling back to Aust Sunday/ Monday and may be offline.

Long suffering thanks, would love you to continue to liase with the club. Would be great to see a group of Demonlanders, especially founding members, up this way for a handover of sorts. Getting ahead of myself, let's just hope Mt Theo brings it home.

It has struck me that if there is one place in the world where Liam's debut guernsey belongs, it's in his home community of Yuendumu where it will stand forever as testament to the effort and energy of Liam and the many people that have contibuted to his debut for the greatest football club in the world, the Melbourne Demons.

The idea is if we can get at least thirty of us put in $20 dollars each we can (hopefully) purchase Liam's guernsey, have it nicely framed up and dontae it to the community as a whole. The donation will be on behalf of Demonlanders. A nice news story for the club and a nice contribution and connection to the community.

Whose in?

Reply to this post letting me know, I'll bid on our behalf and hopefully this'll come off.

I know everyone on here is right behind Liam and is inspired by this young man's effort thus far and also by the outstanding effort the club has made in settling him into his new life down there. His selection and the clubs faith deserves to be acknowledged, so let's make a statement.

It's on $390 at the moment and there is only a day left so we have to move quick! C'mon Demonlanders!

That is a superb Thought, i want to be part of that..

The only shame of course is that it's not the real Melbourne jumper, but rather that white alternative. But oh well, doesn't matter, it's still Liam's first (of many).

Ah, but one day there will be a 100-game jumper, a premiership jumper, and so on...

It'll be quite the collection!

Meanwhile, this whole thing is just brilliant. I just hope there isn't a third party out there also bidding on it with a view to donating to Yuendumu! Actually, scratch that, it would be ideal if someone else won the bid, donated to Yuendumu, we put our money into the community program, and Yuendumu gets to keep theirs too.

Hi people. Susie Low the CEO of the Mt Theo Program has asked that I post the following remarks:

"You guys rock! Susie here, CEO of the Mt Theo Program, and very proud 'grandmother' for Liam. Needed to let you know how overwhelmed we've been by your support in trying to get Liam's debut jumper home. Here, every day, it will inspire other young men and women to believe that absolutely anything is possible! We have known and loved Liam forever, but to see how you have embraced him in the Demons makes us so happy. You've got one of the best there, and sounds like you already know it!

Still some time to go on the auction, and I'm pretty confident, but no-matter the outcome, your extraordinary efforts and support will remain with us. Thank you!!!"

finger and toes all crossed!

cheers

Good on you Roost, the response has been great and I would like to think that the Mt Theo gang has enough, they are in charge of the bidding now and are aware of the amount pledged so far.

Cheers for your and everyone elses support.

That's great. Thanks for posting that Fork. Very happy to hear that Liam's community knows how much we love what Liam has been able to achieve so far and what it means for us. And it's official. We rock!!! Always knew it. :)

I don't know alot about online auctions but we've held the top bid now for about 5 hours. I know there's still 2 hours to go, but I'm hoping the competition has thrown in the towel. Fingers crossed.

Ok, I correct myself. The auction page just updated. The price has flown up over the last few hours.

    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,
