    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 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.

Hi All

Long time reader - first time poster...

I had been following discussions over the past few weeks regarding our new emblem with much enthusiasm. And while my heart was breaking yesterday, I noticed the vision on the changeroom walls of what I assume is the new emblem. There were huge banners on the wall of the red V on navy blue (as with our current emblem) but with a lighter blue (I think) MFC interlocking letters on the blue just below the point of the V. I thought it was smart and stylish. Just wondering if anyone else noticed it and if the ones that have been officially shown it - is it the new emblem?

Cheers,

S.

As I usually sit in the Olympic Stand, I'm not sure whether the premiership years and the "masters of the mcg" signage was new this week, or whether it had been there all year. Today I sat in the Southern, so it was the first time I noticed it.

In either case, I liked it.

I like it too, I think we should do it for all our home games.

As my mate pointed out, the only black and white sign up read 'report anti-social behaviour'

I have been looking for an image of what I saw. In one of the pics of CS tweets (as suggested by Demon3165) I have found what I saw on the TV yesterday. The image is Here. The banner is hanging on the right wall next to the door. Very difficult to make out though. Sorry best I can find at the moment...

Cheers S.

I noticed the banners also and thought it could be the new emblem, but was actually left a bit disappointed at the same time. It just didn't seem as revolutionary as some others on here had describe. However, we'll find out soon enough.

Nothing like the new emblem, sorry.

On a side note, I also saw on the top tier of the Olympic Stand some new banners in place of the sposors signage. They read "The never say Die Demons" and "Mebourne Football Club - Masters of the MCG". I REALLY LIKED IT!!! Yet another sign that we are headed the right direction.

Whist I haven't sat in my seat in the Southern Stand much this year that was the first time that I'd noticed the signage pointed out in these posts and love them.

The 'Masters of the MCG' is slightly arrogant but I still like it!

Also love the NBA-styled signs for every year we'd won a premiership - they hang their banners in the rafters of the stadia, obviously we can't do this but I thought that was great :) Left one blank at the end for the next one too...!

I didnt see the flags. I sit on the balcony in the members so I am guessing they were above me. I could juts make it the Masters of the MCG one and clearly could see the The other one in the pocket. Did anyone manage to get any photos of these? Have the club promoted these at all? I haven't seen any talk about it on the official website.

Thanks for the clarification Redleg_24. I'm almost glad that it isn't. While I like what I saw - it didn't grab me by the throat and make me want to start screaming from the roof tops! Just have to wait to the official unveiling now...

Cheers, S.

Sorry if there was confusion, they weren't actual flags. Just signs with the Year won in White on a background of the Red V with Blue.

Did you mean 'flags' that wave in the wind literally or 'flags' as in we've won 12 flags?

I was lucky enough to have a great discussion with Cam Schwab and Don McLardy before yesterday's 'walk to the G'. I mentioned that I was really looking forward to the release of the new Emblem, and Cam just happened to have a copy in his pocket. He gave me a 'sneak preview' and talked me through the design. All I can say is that IMO it brilliantly captures the magnificent history of our great club over the journey, while remaining simple and 'un-cluttered' to the eye. I know I'm a bit biased, but I reckon it will be the envy of every other club in the AFL.

Cam added that there is still a bit of fine-tuning to be done (eg. to ensure that the Emblem fits easilg onto various background colours etc.) and it will not be released until late in the year.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this but it seemed that a lot of people were waving the same red flags yesterday: I assume they were being handed out by the club outside the ground? Great idea if so, our blue and Collingwood's black mesh together so it's our red that we need to have dominating through the crowd.

They were handed out to participants in the 'Walk to the G', and you are right, they looked great in the crowd.

    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,
