    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.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

A great day and a great emblem.

Have a look at the real collingwood emblem and you will see that it too has much going on. As many posters have said, there is the club's official emblem and there will also be (i'm sure) some drilled down versions for various marketing areas.

Congratulations on the MFC Board for the courage and work to this point. Keep it up.

You're welcome to express a view. I'm not sure why people would have a problem with what you've said.

I agree.

It's pretty sad when people get criticised for commenting that the emblem's a bit busy...talk about precious.

I really like it. And I did the moment I saw it. When one starts analysing all that's in it I can understand some thinking that it's a bit busy. But I can only go off my initial reaction.

I don't think that one needs to start analysing it to form the opinion that it's 'busy'.

I was talking to a professional designer and the first thing they commented on was that it was pretty busy.

(While irrelevant to the point I'm making, fwiw they liked it).

EDIT: I'm not too fussed about emblems and so forth, but I quite like it.

Of course it's "busy".

It is telling a story of the club with the longest history of any, in the game.

Emblems (like family shields) are supposed to tell a story.

This one, along with the video, set in stone, the traditions of our club.

If it was plain and simple...what would that say about our club ?

Too busy, trying to be too many things at once

Yes it's busy. The club got busy and Demolished our debt, the members got busy supporting our club, the players are getting busy to win us a flag.

Footy's a busy game...

Great emblem.

5 ideas apparently are too many for some.

Come on guys.

Jimma has come to the club to Unite us, & here some can't help but attack there own, seconds after our best recent news.

If some have a different take on some things, thats fine. Lets not become cannibles. Enjoy that we can all share the interest we have for our Club, still & going forward.

Not too sure about the emblem. I'd like to see the demon back but not the wimpy impersonators that have been on our logo for decades. Its been like Richmond calling themselves "the tigers" but having Garfield as a logo.

I don't think anyone is having a go at others for having a different opinion.

I for one, was trying to explain what I see as the logic in developing a fully fledged emblem, with meaning.

Just saying it is "busy" with no explanation as to what "busy" means, nor how to make it just as an important symbol, by being less "busy" indicates that maybe some more work needs to be done to explain things.

100 years ago, "emblems" were very important.

In this age when we are bombarded constantly, with images and branding, perhaps the concept of what an EMBLEM is and what it represents has been lost in the wash.

This is not like "sunburst" launched by the Gold Coast last week. That is a "logo".

They don't have a history, yet.

We do.

Not just more than most.

But more than everybody else in the comp.

That is a great "brand" factor for us to use.

That is what this "emblem" does.

Some other clubs - particularly Collingwood - developed their "emblem" many moons ago.

We were "late" to the table with a really convincing emblem - the emblem of the team we love...now we have one!

Be proud!

wow. just brilliant. and that's even after getting an earlier sneak peak.

great presentation as well.

gee, compared to that dreadfull and meaningless box they were using!

Good point Rob, I'd forgotten about the Red/Blue box.

The one on the back of my car faded after a couple of months.

I'll be happy to replace it with this one - especially as it is "proper" one!

I think your right, I jumped in too soon. After reading some posts last week re the early leaking of the emblem, I anticipated a criticism & responded without reading the whole thread.

Actually the thread is encouragingly positive. My bad, whatever that means.

A great day for Us Demons...

I am not seeing much attacking if any, in fact this has to be one of the most reasonably debated threads in a while. I dont love it and it is ok to say that.

No, I wasn't having a go at people with different opinions, rather defending that.

I was having a crack at some, who personally attack others for having an opinion.

Anywho, back to topic. Sorry for the interruption guys.

They put it all on the Hun website. Amazing.

Inspiring stuff. I am so proud to be a Demon today. I've lived the ups and downs (mostly downs) for damn near 40 years but today I feel bullet proof. If Jimmy asked me to sell one of my kids to save the club I would probably give it some serious thought.

The interactive feature on the MFC website is a FANTASTIC initiative by the club and all involved! It is great viewing and gives a nice to-the-point view on what the emblem (and Melbourne) stand for in all it's glory.

Love it. :D

Agree 100%

It indicates how progressive the club is becoming/ has become, by embracing new concepts/technology,whilst also paying tribute to the club's great heritage, with the subject material it is applied to.

After 50+ years of being a supporter, I only hope, I am granted another 50+ years, to keep following : Go Dees!!

Sounds like you're also embracing new technology - nice one :)

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
