  • 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.

Maybe Tony Hausknecht saw the thread on Demonland...

Correct me if Im wrong, but I think Tony is the one who was behind the idea in the first place on Demonology and here.

Congratulations on getting this off the ground. Although not the original idea which was first floated, it was a great move!

Does this mean that the original idea was not accepted by MFC/MCC. Does anyone know. The worse thing will be if only a few people get behind it and it is an abject failure which will be really embarassing for the club and Jimmy. It would be better that it doesnt happen or happens at a later time when there is more time to organise it.

I believe the original idea was to create one big banner all about Jimmy. Correct me if I am wrong guys.

It doesn't matter - the thing is the respect and love we want to return to Jimma.

Yes it was but the MCC had issues with that idea I think so it morphed into banners with a Jimmy best moments on them. We have been waiting on a meeting with MFC on Friday for news but still there is nothing. I havent checked with Demonology site but will do now.

It sure is. Great move by Tony, he should be really congratulated.

Thanks longsuffering.

No nothing but a link to the MFC site. It is a pity that it couldnt be kept in house so that it would be a surprise to Jimmy on the day. I suppose now that it is "out" we should be encouraging everyone to do their bit even if it is to wear a number "11" on their backs, fronts anywhere just to show our support for Jimmy in his fight.

As I understand it this is an opportunity for ALL MFC supporters to say thank you to Jimmy for his efforts in turning the clubs fortunes around. And show him our support in general. Especially the Kids account the Reach Foundation.

So it is now our chance to show our Club Champion and Club Savior how much we appreciate his efforts in doing so. So again please LETS ALL GET ON BOARD with this on Sunday.

I believe there will be a professionaly made banner on match day. And more publicity to follow as I undersatnd it.

GO DEE'S

Well done Tony :)

Cheers mate!

Hi All,

I’m finally able to give you some further information.

As others have eluded to , $$ and other items like logistics, OH&S and getting the appropriate mix for Jim , has changed the original idea floated by Haydo. In fact it changed several times as each of the issues was dealt with.

We have ended up with a smaller, but excellent quality banner from ‘The Banner Lady’. To allow everyone to contribute and make the day bigger and better, everyone is being asked to make their own banner to Jim or the MFC. The club liked the idea and have decided to promote our banner and the significance of it on the website (link to article :- Make your own banner.

There will also be 5000 placards available and the cheersquad will be onboard with their contribution.

Over the next couple of days there will be more media around this so the momentum will grow.

To make this day work, we need involvement from as many people as possible. SO PLEASE GET INVOLVED AND MAKE THIS INTO A GREAT DAY FOR JIMMY.

Remember you have 4 days to make a banner. A great idea if you have kids to keep them occupied while on school holidays. So get out the old bed sheets , crepe paper , paints , textas , whatever you can , to show your support for Jim and the mighty Dees.

If that's not enough to get you motivated, then remember the club is kicking in $250 worth of merchandise for the best banner.

I will add more in the coming days.

Thanks

Hey All,

How are those banners going ?

Just spoke to the cheersquad , and they have a couple of great banners etc planned.

This will be a great day if everyone gets involved. It could even be used as a launching pad for even more events if there is good participation.

Lots happening at the club at the moment. Time to show how much the Red n Blue means to you.

Cheers

Hope Jim's footy show appearance inspired you all for Sunday.

We have decided to leave the banner photos and other stuff for everyone to see Sunday.

The Jimmy banner will spend most of the time in the cheersquad, so you may have to make your way around to the Punt Road end if you want to have a decent look at it.

Bring your banner , old Jimmy jersey , paint your hair and face red and blue , whatever you can do to thank Jim and be part of the day.

Cheers our boys as loud as you can when they run out Sunday. Sing the song with what voice you have left when we win. Then celebrate with a pint of Guinness for Jim and the MFC.

Go Dees.

Just to let you know more details.

The cheersquad have made a couple of great banners and messages to Jim.

Outside most gates (not sure about gate 4) there will be placards available. They have various messages on them.

Our Jimmy banner will probably spend most of the day in the cheersquad. So if you want a decent look at it , head around to the Punt Road end goals.

We are hoping Jim will give an interview possibly before the game.

Judging on the banners will happen up to half time, with the winner announced at either 1/2 or 3/4 time. The winner will hopefully get their banner up on the big screens.

Hope to see lots of banners and everone in Red and Blue.

Go Jimmy. Go Dees.

    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,
