    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.

What moron at AFL House let the umpires wear pink tonight? Completely disregarding the other contentious decisions made by the umpires tonight, their uniform caused numerous turnovers, including at least 3 in the last. May have cost us the game

What happened to umpires wearing neutral colours. I'm sure if it was a normal dogs v dees game, the umps wouldn't be in red. An atrocious call by somebody to put them in pink.

Absolutely agree. I know the cause is good but FMD they looked too similar to MFC.

I am sure at one stage there was quick handball out of the centre by MFC in the direction of an umpire and there was no MFC player in cooee.

They should have given them a pink whistle to use then swallow.

I thought they were in red. Agree though,a disgraceful decision. Several time Melbourne players appeared to pass the ball towards an umpire.

Agree. Those pink umpires cost us at least two goals in the last. Someone should be shot.

+1.

It was Bartram who handballed it to the ump. And Brad Green has now kicked the non-goal of the year.

As someone who plans things for a living, I am utterly shocked that people can be this [censored] at their job and still get paid.

Why not dress the umpires in Melbourne jumpers next week... maybe it'll help them pay a decision in our favour for once! :rolleyes:

The umpires are NOT meant to be highlighted in a game in anyway - good causes or not.

Why the F&*K didn't they wear fluro green? Pack of Carmichaels!

Agree! Absulute joke, no one cares about the umps. The dees actually changing colors for a game, not enough?????

According to a caller to radio, we complained to the AFL during the week about the umpires' uniform only to be told it was bad luck and had already been decided. Hardly surprising when you have muppets running the joint.

If that is true it is an utter disgrace- however we should write to the AFL to lode the complaint because that was damning. They also had red, blue and white(Bulldogs colours in their veins-a downright disgrace.

So many things about tonights game absolutely shited me, and this- a 'wardrobe clash' which could and should have been avoided- could have cost us at least one goal- definately a forward thrust- and the two goal umpires getting overruled so easily especially when the first one said "im sure it was good" is just deflating. I am flat now, such a thin line- all we needed was to not get screwed over by the umps and I would have had a bloody marvelous night! Now I sit here contemplating how to get umpires personal information.. :(

The club should issue a please explain to the AFL.

What an absolute joke.

Out on the wing Brad green hit the ball over his head towards an umpire and the handball from junior I think it was into the corridor and was swooped upon by 4 doggies.

[censored] disgrace!

My thoughts exactly. Whoever decided they should wear pink should be sent to Siberia.

was listening to one of the radio stations on the way home and a caller confirmed that the club had complained to the AFL during the week re the clash between the ummpires and MFC. They were told more or less bad luck. It wouldn't have happened to Collingwood. Eddy wouldn't have allowed it. One day we too will have the same influence.

MFC ask for the ump to be to different colors tonight and where overruled

Of course.. Why would the AFL go back on a decision they have previously made or change something because of an outside request? That would make them seem weak.. The AFL has all the power; and they are too keen to make that known all the time. Stubbornly backing their decisions to no end with no regard for common sense. And who pays for it? The ones who don't make a noise about it and just cops it! Would this have happened to a more influencial (Collingwood) club? I think not!

just like the umpire running across the field to overrule the goal umpire who was less than a meter away. JOKE... Great game by the young guns today.

I think we should rally up every Melbourne supporter on this website and spam their emails with stuff about the umpires.

The club should issue a please explain to the AFL.

They might say something like "in hindsight maybe a different choice of colours may have been better, but we think it made no impact on the game at all..." or some crap like that!

Ahhhh.. the ol' "please explain"... This one will go down as getting royaly SCREWED over and no "please explain" can do [censored]! I hate the "system" Could you imagine if this happened in a final?

We obviously need a clash jumper for the Umpires. An appalling oversight by us. I look forward to the Umpires in the Hawks v Swans 'Kokoda' Game wearing brown and gold fatigues.

An absurd and incompetent decision by the AFL.

THe most senior of the people at the AFL involved in the decision must issue an apology.

Give em hell Dees fans.

Umpires dressed in pink which was red, I have never left a game so angry as I did tonight. So many UNBELIEVEABLE decisions made by those 3 fools.

On a happier note, another good effort by the boys.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
