    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.

Apparently Ju$$'s Grandma spoke to our potential sponsors a while back. They told her that they couldn't take the risk of sponsoring the MFC because Phat Phil would cause the planes to flip in even the slightest turbulence. Also the fact that they don't have hot pie's or deep fried Mars Bars on the menu may have caused the turbulence within the plane also. :P

She explained that neither he nor any relations of his are part of the MFC. This has been the reason for the delay but now it's all back on track. Rumour has it that they have had so much enjoyment from this thread that some posters may even get free flights to all interstate games for season 2012. But that deal will only go through if they are signed before the home and away season starts....... :lol: :lol:

?????????????????

We still don't have a sponsor. The airline deal is a rumour that started on this site.

Hopefully the club picks up a sponsor and it is a big one, but at this stage Melbourne are playing a competitive game on the weekend without the FOJ sponsor. I cannot remember a club in my life time that has been in this situation.

Why dont you march in Cam's office & tell him how it should be done? How do you know what the status of the airline is??? Do you have insider knowledge of whats going on or just guessing??

Yes, we are playing a match this weekend - but, its a practice match for gods sake!! Im sure Cam & the guys are on top of what needs to be done........

I don't know if you could call Saturday night a flogging.

Although this is all good news, I wouldn't be heralding us as giant killers... We all know what time of the year it is, right?

There were a couple of 3-4 minute bursts of "flogging" last night. One in the third and one in the fourth, each resulted in a run of scores to us...

nothing to get too excited about, but quite enjoyable.

Yes i think it will be after the nab cup so it does not take away from reach. So i think we will see the new sponser around the 22nd of march 2012.

I can appreciate the Reach gesture but this should definitely not be in the way of our FOJ sponsor announcement.

If this is the case then priorities are UTS.

Reach may have there own deal, however small....If our new Foj Sponsor is a big one, i have no problems waiting till after the practise games..

Jimmy & his work is still very much a part of our fabric.

Hope your info is spot on JCB...

Anyone know someone who works at Sherrin.

Hopefully its a done deal and the club is waiting for some clear air I thought the whole wangaratta debacle was too muvh a detractor for a Sponsor announcement.

I don't have any inside info mate. I asked at training yesterday and was told it could be any day now. My comment was more suggesting that of its a done deal just announce it already.

I haven't really the faintest knowledge of the sponsor. Reading JCB's and your posts it could be anytime in the next two weeks.

If its a done deal I can understand the wait on the announcement given Schwab has stated and hinted to all in sundry that this is a strategic relationship. So the planets must align (ie everything needs to be in place) before the announcement. If its as important as I'm making it out to be...it's worth the wait.

Reality is that it has been any day now since last bloody September. Of course it's any day now. The proper season starts any day now, but we just know the exact date, that's the difference.

Any day now Melbourne will win a premiership.

I hope that it is announced by the end of the week, or by the end of next week. I hope that it's the big deal we hoped we'd get. I hope it's a Chinese company that will show our continued growth in to the Asian market. I hope all my posts about what the next co-major sponsor will pay is incorrect so that the likes of B59 can sit back and say "I told you so", I sincerely do.

Slightly off topic, but something we may need to prepare ourselves for (or hopefully may not). I was watching the footy on the weekend, from memory the Carlton v Bulldogs game - the Bulldogs obviously have Mission Foods as one of their major sponsors. Mission get front and back of jumper rights. Could we see Energy Watch getting the same exposure on the red and blue jumper? I hope not. Just thought it was interesting that the Bulldogs only have the one jumper sponsor.

Yeah, they have renewed their original $1.5m/year deal from 2009-2011. So they ended up after stealing them with less cash than our 'falling backwards into Kaspersky/Hankook deals.'

Don't know what they are getting from them now, though...

The longer this goes on, the more I fear we will begin the season without a sponsor.

Jurrah's issues can't help the cause. I am getting frustrated.

Mate, they could come out tomorrow announcing a $5m/year deal and i'd still feel a little low, given what has transpired in the past 2 days.

Could our new FOJ sponsor be..........'Starwood Hotels & Resorts Group' or one of it's hotel chains?

They have recently sponsored the Delhi Daredevils and have sponsored the NHL in America and others in the past.

They have also built or are building a hotel/resort in the province that CS is looking to secure a multi year deal with the high altitude training facility in China.

We are looking to build a long term presence in China and the Chinese will, in the future according to tourism experts be Australia's major tourism driver.

I am very confident that Starwood are the front runner after doing a little detective work online. I won't say anymore as i don't want to ruin any announcement from the club (and no i don't have any inside knowledge just putting a couple online pieces of a puzzle together) but if Starwood (or one of its brands) are our sponsor it will be massive for the exposure of their brand here and our brand not only in China but also Asia. Looking forward to an announcement and if my hunch is right then i'll be very grateful to our SEO, Mr Schwab.

    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

    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,
