    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.

Amazing that Collingwood have been allowed to wear their predominantly black jumper against Carlton tonight. AfL have.rules for some

It has always been that way. The strong rule. The weak merely exist.

hence my initial point. we need to stand up on this issue

agreed we can't wear red as a clash because apparently it is dark in colour but Suns red is not dark when they play us

Pies wear their dark jumper against Bombers traditional strip on Anzac day

I say give them nothing it may be a small issue but stop being a pushover

I, too, was gobsmacked to see the Pies wear their predominantly black jumper against both Essendon & Carlton over the past two weeks. In both games they were supposedly the away team. I really don't see why they would be upset about wearing the mainly white one. As Eddie once said, their home jumper is black with white stripes, and their away jumper is white with black stripes. Both look good from a club point of view, but the mainly white one (with the mostly white back) is quite acceptable as a contrast to the Essendon & Carlton jumpers.

Yep, as it was made plain in the classic "Animal Farm", we may all be pigs. But, not all pigs are equal...!!

I reckon our club which actually represents the city of melbourne and it's environs should be able from time to time wear the jumpers of the dear departed teams aka Fitzroy and South Melbourne as a way of honouring old er Melbourne clubs. Now stay with me on this, we could become Melbourne United and stick it up that jumped up soccer club melbourne city.

Also it would at least partially solve our clash jumper issue.

I love how people get so up in arms over this.

Do you think we should not be wearing pink next week?

It's not our colours or our jumper?

I think it has helped growing up with English football and to a lesser degree NFL.

Why they may change there away strip but I have followed Everton since 1976 and they have always worn Royal Blue jerseys and white shorts, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wolves, Leeds etc etc they have not changed in that time all still wear the same as they have for years.

The new owner of Cardiff City who the fans want out, came in 2/3 years ago and changed their crest and colours the colours are very important to fans the world over.

and in regard to NFL do a little search on how important it was to the people of Cleveland when the Browns moved to Baltimore and tried to take the name with them, hence the Baltimore Ravens

Perhaps the worst idea in the history of footy.

Yep understand, but we are talking about an away top, not a home top except for a one off every year for cancer.

I meant that people get all antsy about a away top, does not worry me.

Don't mind the white jumper! 2 wins and 2 games against Saints and GWS that we very well could've won with a bit of luck. 0-3 in home games in the red and blue!

Decision is made tm

Red white and blue is now our main jumper.

Out with the read and blue we have spent 50 years losing in that one.

Having a guernsey that was too similar to the Saints guernsey, did not help.

Collingwood did not want to move away from black and white, so they settled upon their white jumper with black stripes, which solves their problems.

If you think wearing white 'makes us look weak and reduces morale' then you obviously don't watch us play. If you did, you'd realise that our ineptitude is what makes us look weak and destroys morale.

Wearing white has nothing to do with anything. It only angers people like you who personally don't like it. The other 99% of the AFL world could not care less.

dear mr tight bottie you missed the point entirely. What makes us look weak and reduces morale is the fact that the club's weak administration allowed the afl to bully them into wearing an assortment of jumpers, particularly when there is no real clash unless you are half blind. A couple of years ago when we played the doggies the umps wore a similar colour to our players, resulting in some of our players aiming hand passes at them!

    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

    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
