  • 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.

How about the Leongatha Parrots?

If Mable demon was online she could confirm ... but I believe there is a hockey team called the "Maple Leafs" but what about the Kiwis for pizz weak - "Silver Ferns". FMD.

You are correct BBO - Toronto Maple Leafs from the NHL, White Jerseys with a Large Blue Maple Leaf on the front

In the main for the wrong reasons

Also re minds me of CS, MN and DM that I am trying very hard to forget

that is not a reason to change it, what change it out of spite.

the emblem we have is fantastic.

you know we have missed many many opportunities along our journey, out of stubborn spite. we could have had Matthews coach us, instead of the Lions. we could have had Sheedy a couple of times.

we could have recruited players & didn't, & we could have kept up with trends in the 60's, & you guessed it.

Like this a lot. Would love it if that was the new official emblem but maybe with "Melbourne Demons" in the ribbon on the front. Simple, strong, and says it all.

it looks like a plastic bumper sticker, but at least guaranteed not to fade, I guess. cold, flat & boring. plaid like the late 60's.

There is a lot to fix dee- luded I agree.

This is just a subject discussed in a week when there is not much to talk about.

All my knowledge on logo's says you keep it simple.

Our current logo fails that test.

Just way too busy for me.

versus overly complicated and confusing

Tis a fine line isn't it?

I tend to agree the one taken from the Demon lounge is a bit simplistic and sterile.

However, I reckon the one we have is way too busy and incorporates too much historical minutiae.

While I have said we should bring back some form of the old Chinese demon, I can live with a compromise on the current one.

Get the water mark of the original rules off the blue background and then get rid of the Southern Cross on the right side of the shield. Work out a way to get balance back into the overall logo by repositioning the football or trident after that has been done.

Or for those who don't like the 80's Demon, why don't we bring back the 90's one? Simple and to the point and coincided with a decent era (the Balme/Daniher years). Ever since we got rid of it, we have been absolute poo.

that's another story od, but you don't replace flawed with flawed

as for the existing emblem, i don't mind the overall basics but agree a few elements could be removed

it's certainly more emblem than logo and i wouldn't mind the (modified) emblem for more formal use plus a new logo for more informal use

nothing new here, others have said similar

however, i'm sure given time we could come up with 100 great new logos and select one, and then next year we will be back having the same debate. lol

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

    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
