  • 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.

You are Spot On DC. pictures have NEVER looks Sharper or more Clearer, and we rarely get Mud anymore like the good old days.

If somebody cannot see the difference between two Teams Jumpers on a HD Flat Screen (soon to Be 3 D) then they are Blind & it is not the fault of the Football club Jumpers.

As i said. Clash Jumpers are NOT worn in September, which i would have thought is the most important Part.

No the AFL make all their coin during the 22 H & A rounds make no mistake and they will maximize Ground revenues for this reason B)

You want my thoughts ( which you probably don't ) I think it is not too far off.

It may be ten years but guess what finishing first or second will bring in the future!!!!

You get to wear your normal jumper throughout the finals and the others have to wear white where there is a clash!!!

Now remember I am only the messenger.

Gee I am realy glad I raised this subject!

There are a lot of you out there with missonary zeal when the white jumper gets mentioned.

Must watch who's car I step in front of in the future.

Actually like to be around when we salute next time.

You have Rolled over & accepted the AFL spin Old Dee.

Others including myself will never do that (Mate i hated that Light Blue Jumper we wore in the '80's) Red Yolk with Dark Blue......red Socks is all i ask.

I had to watch Liam Jurrah Take Mark of The Year in that Crappy white thing!! In 10-15 years People will look at that photo and say "Who did he play for" or "What Jumper is that??" F@#$k That.

This Club deserves Better Treatment B)

But old Dee how can you get used to it when they are not our colours???

You must have been there at the western oval in '87. Did you have any problem working out that R Flower had taken that Hanger in the Goal Square...??? I didn't!!!

No disrespect WYL but I have a problem believing the AFL could be that cynical or conniving. I like to bash Dimwit and the AFL as much as anyone but if there is truth in that I'd be really disillusioned. Call me naive

Well i feel sorry for you. That was one of the best days in our clubs history!!

I loved the Wwestern oval. I used to make $5.00 as a kid crshing cans and putting them into garbage bags!

Ps; this thread is way off topic. Take it to the thread i bumped.

I do not think so but I could be wrong I can remember the occasions when I was wrong( just a joke there ).

Would you stay away from a preliminary final because the dees were wearing their white jumper?

Let me know I will take your seat.

Perhaps I am just cynical but I do not believe peole would stay away because of the white jumper.

Do I detect a little hesitation there Old Dee?

We'll swing you around yet (despite your venerable years)

Daisycutter lets get this straight I like everyone else would much prefer to play every game in our red and blue jumper.

I do not want to play in the white jumper!

I just think we are spitting into the wind.

Just look at the Figures during the year...8 Games, 8 Loads of Home Ground Crowds...Visitor numbers are minimal in comparison.

The Finals actually cost Money to both clubs & the AFL quite often- I notice with interest that Etihad is not being used this year. Hmmmm it does cost a lot that joint.

Its just understanding how marketing works DC Have a close look at the Fixture for this year-it is all weighted to make Money and give exposure, now that isn't always bad-The Players are now well paid for putting on a great show for 6 months, BUT i consider the clash Jumper Shite going too far,

and you can be sure when the next Broadcast rights are settled it will get even more Greedy. With over a Billion spent the Networks shall DEMAND the utmost Returns.

I wouldn't give a stuff what we were wearing, but I do want to see us redesign the jumper so it resembles a traditional MFC jumper. That I can live with.

The current Batman looking angry one is crap! Not as bad as some other clubs, but anything with a modern logo on it makes me sick!

I would go to the Football for a while, but if we were continually wearing that White thing my interest would slowly wane, no doubt.

I Barrack for the Red & Blue. Period. It costs me a lot of coin to get to the 'G and if i am denied my colours well i might go and see a film instead. B)

I cannot remember but how many times did we wear it this year?

I think the only games I went to were Carlton at the "G" and the Brisbane game.

There were obviously others I just do not remember them.

Probably indicates that I have got used to it and the AFL has seduced one!

The coaches Boxes on the Western Oval Wing were just a trip in themselves, i miss those suburban grounds so much.

The Jokes in the crowd are no where near as funny as they used to be.

The end was when the Goal umpires were de-robed & de Hatted and put in a Baseball Kit!

We are far too politically correct now.

While I do miss some of those grounds I do not miss windy hill and people pissing in bottles because you could not leave your spot.

Everyone complains about visits to Collingwood I think Windy hill was the pits, easily the worst ground and supporters!

Windy Hill was far worse than Vic Park i agree, that outer Flank concrete area was Toxic.

    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
