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?

I know some on here will pounce but I have always had a soft spot for the so-called Chinese Demon from the 80's shield logo. For most of his tenure, we were absolute poo but when I was a little tacker supporting the club, this was my club logo. It reminds me of very good times comparatively speaking (the end of the 80's and Swooper's reign).
Some people don't want a cartoon Demon but I am not against it.

Oh good, let's break even this season, but look at putting more money into the Footy Dept next season or let's get a new emblem again after four years and have to spend money on changing everything again, jumpers, signage, letterheads, merchandising...sigh and sigh...any way agree must we go back to cartoonish emblems..why?....and besides which if it is going to have a name on surely the name should be Dees, don't hear many people calling MFC the Demons these days....

You haven't sat near me at any games then... that's the only name i've ever used.

The other term is an obomination on the original and i'm pretty sure Checker would say the same.

Anyone who uses that obomination, particularly of the male genda, should have a long hard look down their loin cloth (using a very bright torch) to make sure the nuts and bolts are still connected.

What is a "Dee" anyway?

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.

Yep....another CS inspired bit of nostalgic BS from memory.

You've got my vote.

Don't mind the one suggested above but I like the current one so don't see the need for change.

Let's build some tradition again by not chopping and changing everything as in recent years - it is not like we would want to change the club song let alone the guernsey.

Anyway as mentioned already - there are far more pressing issues such as the coaching situation, increasing membership - especially young members and wins are needed for that - young people don't want to jump on board with losers - so clearly the list management - still truckloads to be done there and the coaching situation are the priorities way ahead of a new emblem.

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

Put Stuie's version in amongst them and check it against the rest. It will sit nicely alongside the Tiges, Hawks, Lions, Cats and Bombers as very appropriate and bold IMO.

Current one is trying to say too many things. We're a football club not BHP etc..... KISS

Agree, Tigers, Cats, Lions, GWS & Swans look like something a kid put together with crayons

We have to change everything when we get new sponsors don't we, and that's most years. We also have a new member of our design dept, so no doubt they would have done this. Do you really think printing a few letterheads is going to impede the footy dept spending? Ridiculous comments.

As for the "demons" part, what is our team called again?

Silly post.

Don't see Bombers written on the Essendon Emblem, don't see Port Adelaide written on the Port Emblem, Don't see the words Saints or St Kilda on their emblem, Don't see the word Hawthorn on the premiers emblem.

So what are you getting at Stuie, everyone involved in footy knows we are the Melbourne Football Club and are known as the Demons, Dees, Redlegs etc.

If we are appealing to overseas supporters why would they not follow the Melbourne Football Club who play at the home of football or would they just like an emblem and start following Power FC, Hawks FC, St K FC or the Essendon Aeroplanes.

FFS we have far more important issues. The current emblem is very professional some may like a bit of tweaking with it but certainly not a cartoon character.

I'm getting at making Saty's idea of having "Dees" on the logo pointed out as the ridiculous concept it is. Think that's the part of it you missed judging by your reply.

I didn't miss anything, you started this thread, I know who we are as do the footy world you seem to be the one beating on about how important it is to have the Demons in our logo

Does this ring any bells

In my opinion it has too many ideas all thrown together. It is directionless because it has so many concepts that none of them end up being a focus. We're the Melbourne Demons, yet there's no use of the word "Demons" anywhere on it. Do we need a Southern Cross to signify we're Australian? Do we need a football to show we play football? What does the trident mean without anything to say we're the Demons? Are we gardeners? Poseidon? Neptune?

To me, there's just too much going on and it seems confused. IMO we should be putting ourselves forward as the Melbourne Demons. Simple as that.

Yes that does ring bells, I posted that.

However that was not the post you responded to.

Don't go trying to dig things up to start an argument with me just because you totally misunderstood the previous discussion. Weak.

But if you want to keep it going, here's the flaw in your argument...

Essendon have a bomber, Port have a power image, St Kilda have a cross, Hawthorn have a hawk... We have a trident, a southern cross, a football, some illegible writing, a flame, a year, an older logo, and our jumper design all as part of our emblem. It's as weak and directionless as your responses.

I don't mind that. But change the shield shape to the current shape and less special effects with the shine, texture and shadowing. Just the flat colours would be great.

The current shield has way too much rubbish going on, just make it simple again.

i do agree about it being directionless.

The club are changing it are they not? If so, the discussion about whether it needs to change is over, or is at least fruitless.

Unlike all the other discussions which are of course bursting with fruity goodness.

I don't really want to embarrass you but re-read my post and look at what you have replied with. Thanks for highlighting what I have said. I'm sure all the non-AFL fans are a lot wiser now

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
