  • 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.

I'm concerned that Lawrie De La Rue may be lost to the club as they appear to be talking through Lawyers and they have ceased direct communications.

There are always reasons why companies cease sponsorship; it may be lack of funds, change of direction or simply the company ceases to operate, so i'm fully aware that you need to revisit this all I'm concerned with is the animosity that has arisen out of this sponsorship.

I think this is a fair call.

I have a feeling he has withdrawn sponsorship before in a funk in the 80s or 90s

Certainly the reasons advanced sound more convenient rather than serious grounds to terminate a sponsorship. There is no doubt that the White with Black Font Hankook Logo stands out on our jumper more than most in the League.

But I guess it is all Cameron Schwab's fault!

Is it preposterous to suggest that a brand which has just been re-established and uses the name 'Melbourne' in its title might see synergistic value worth pursuing?

So, Bank of Melbourne, come on down!

And if I'm wrong, it doesn't stop MFC still pursuing Bank of Melbourne for sponsorship. There's always room for more.

It is poor that we are losing a long standing sponsor. And there is more to it than meets the eye as usual. Sponsors are treated very poorly.

Schwab spends all his time sniffing linament instead of schmoozing sponsors and their clients. I have seen him on match days doing everything but making sponsors and their clients have a special day. LIke ot or not, its one of his main jobs. But he is more interested in running the footy dept.

Why do you make statements about things you don't know about? Do you work at the club and know what Schwab gets up to?

Nice one, mate. Can't you read?

I said I have seen him. And on more than one occasion.

Not a bad call. I read that they are targeting 30 something year old women from the eastern suburbs, perfect fit. Would there be a conflict seeing as the parent company in Westpac sponsor the filth?

What did you sit behind him at the footy?

Were you standing in the corner at a function watching him?

Does he even know you are?

You based your last character assassination of him on a hunch.

If you could provide some detail on how you know these things I'd be more inclined to take them on board.

A friend of mine is a social media coordinator, worked alongside Westpac Group in the relaunch of Bank Of Melbourne. Wouldn't be straight up, but wouldn't deny that the bank will be major sponsor of the club next year.

Stay tuned.

    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.

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. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
