Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.


New Emblem?

Im only a youngen, but I always consider this the demons logo. Maybe just modernized and some new artwork?

Pretty sure the start of the thread says this is just ideas so take your "ugh there is more important stuff to whinge about" to the "irrelevant whinging" thread. Oh wait...

I like the shield design of the current logo, but I think if we just removed a few elements from the logo it would look great.

In particular I would keep the trident (but move it to the centre where the football is) and get rid of the football and the southern cross.

I also would like to see the red return to an orthodox red (like the colour of the red on our jumpers). I hate the maroon-red colour that was introduced a few years ago which looks like the old Fitzroy red. That colour still lingers on current club merchandice - get rid of it.

You have my vote SJ

Our colours are red and blue not maroon

Which stands out best?

Ours is way too busy and the likes of Carltank and Giants are way too simple.

I like the Hawks one and Stkildas with the latin.

Actually, putting them together like that makes ours look good, for mine. FWIW I like it ...

FWIW i like our Logo as it is, i do not mind the latest effort but as RPFC says we do represent 156 years....longer than all the other clubs...

Seeing all the other logos together just shows how tacky they have all become..

CS got a lot wrong...But i do like his emblem

I like the suggested emblem however I have always liked the " Est. 1858 " on the current one.

We are the oldest professional football club in the world, including soccer, we should advertise and be proud of that fact.

It's only an emblem but it can be a rallying point for a club and we need one everyone gets on board with.

That said there are way more important things the club needs to fix before moving onto this.

Congrats. You're the 100th person to say this. Your prize will be decided after we get to all the stuff that is way more important.

Agreed. There is some [censored] that can be removed but the sense of history that the date brings with it is crucial. The Richmond emblem (above) is simple but includes the date. I don't understand why Geelong, with an otherwise strong representation of their club does nor include the date.

I like the Saints for tradition and I like Norf's and the Doggies of the more recent designs. Ours is way too busy and lacks versatility across different application, eg, on the jumper or on letterhead.

PS. And GWS's is terrible.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
