  • 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.

We have a lot more serious issues to worry about than the bugler.This club has a reputation as being snobby and elitist but the reality is that the Melbourne Football Club has a very broad and varied fanbase.However i love it when we play up to that elitist image by bringing out the bugler with the smoking jacket.If it enrages the likes of Joffa and the rest of the Collingwood cheer squad then the man is doing his job!I just wish the players and coaching staff at this club would start doing likewise.

We have been shite ever since that ponce turned up on the scene. Who's with me?

It's obviously got nothing at all to do with our on-field performance. Nothing at all. However, it's embarrassing, unnecessary, and we just don't need more reasons for people to make fun of us.

More like "Ban the mindset that thinks the bugler is a good idea."

Fellas:

I post a fair bit at BF, and started this about the very issue last week.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/get-rid-of-the-melbourne-fc-bugler/

Sign it, we want 100 signatures at least before we go to the club.

Either he plays before the boys come out, or he doesn't play at all.

Jazzed it up spectacularly again this weekend.

We're half way there with the signatures, 50 more!

I agree, but he needs to be doing it before the players come out.

Is this the Bugler, at about 50 seconds in.

Buy him a horse & send him home.

Bloody hell. That should be the pre match entertainment right there. Start a fox hunt out on the ground before the opening bounce. Set the fox free an hour before the bounce and the blokes on horses set off from the center square just before the match starts. If we want to look like snobby, elitist bell ends, we may as well go the full nine yards. We could even run a scoreboard competition for the fan who lets out the heartiest 'Tally ho lads!' as the horses trot off. Prizes would include snifters of port, exotic cigarettes with Burgess Meredith/Penguin style cigarette holders and if you are lucky, a private school blazer complete with straw hat and knee high socks.

Sorry, I know I'm just venting now. I'm hating the club right now. I hope I can get my love for it back.

You're dreaming Irish. No-one's enraged. They are just laughing at us.

Before a ball is bounced

Get rid of him. Nothing against the bloke but the concept sucks. And the OP is right, we've been shite ever since we trotted him out. While no-one suggests the bugler is the cause, he is synonymous with our shiteness

No, this is where you & the MFC are wrong, IMO.

who cares about stirring the opposition, with a stupid bugler in a jacket, playing "oh oh razzmatazz", to the MCC !

the problem is its 'turning off' much more peope who'd like to support the club including members,,, or past members.

I can't help it myself, I just Hate it !

IT IS Not, what I want the club to be... and I scratch my head & cringe, thinking this isn't my club... its another nail in the coffin, of how I for One, feel about the club.

Please, get rid of him, out onto the outside boardwalk.

I love the buglar. He should be a symbol of the fact that we don't care what anyone thinks. F everyone, if we want a buglar we'll have one.

FFS we have got to stand up for whatever we believe in - buglars, colours, grounds - you get the picture. Otherwise they'll wipe the floor with us.

I'm with you, BBO. Put a decent beard on the bugler, and all would be well. He could be the 'Bearded Demon bugle boy who pumps up the Dees' :)

I'm not a big one for bumping threads but I thought I would show the world what most people think of the bugler. He doesn't enrage the opposition supporters, he makes them laugh.

trouble is he's Not adding a bloody thing, but he's detracting from the day & turning people off going to the games.

If he's employed by the MCC, then we should play something to drown him out.

I say keep the buglar. If anything we need to give him more prominance on match day!

He'll be the making of this club if only we could parade him on a float so eveyone gets to see that amazing jacket and hear his amazing tones. Tut tut and tally ho chaps, an amazing cultural heritage before every home game what!

BTW, does anyone know what the fine might be for throwing eggs and tomatoes at someone on the hallowed MCG turf? Good therapy for every frustrated Demon supporter!

can he dance?

Maybe he can play this as our boys get the tops off for their Pre game warmup ?

Well McLardy said everyone's position is under the microscope, perhaps the Bugler could be next!

    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
