    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.

what gets me about all of this is the hypocrisy of clashing in the first place and then the dubious and different treatment some teams get. below are actual 'clash " strips from 2014 : not a whole

Yes, but when have we ever worn all red?

When have we worn all white? Are you just conditioned to it now?

I am attached to the blood red yolk with the dark navy blue style.

This is everyone's first choice, but we now find AFL Teams dictated to by the AFL (well most are)

I would argue, and have, that the white is more aligned to our history than a movement toward the kind of 'all-red' clash strip that we are talking about.

I would argue that the white is more aligned with the last few years.

I am not going to get into it as I don't mind the red clash strip, but an all red number is a step I am not that comfortable with.

That's fine, it's a big step and I think most have softened their stance on the white strip.

If people thought our last clash strip made us look like Sydney, we would look like GC in all red.

We'd look like Sydney too!

My only argument is this - I didn't mind seing the Bulldogs in all red this year. I don't want to see a red strip being anything other than an away strip when we cant wear our traditional jumper.

If we play Adelaide or St Kilda or other teams away, I would assume the AFL wouldn't allow us to play in the red strip with white shorts. They certainly wouldn't allow the traditional jumper with white shorts.

So, I'm saying I'd rather all red than all white in that situation - I certainly don't want it in place of our navy with red yoke ever.

i'm glad we sorted that out.

I'm glad too...

I don't know why the Bulldogs wore all red, I don't really think it is relevant to this club.

The white is not what I want to see but we have worn all white before in our long history so I won't reject it outright like some have. All red doesn't sit well with me but at the end of the day this is a small issue.

The clash strips look fine, let's move on.

I'm with you rpfc.....I don't like the red....I also think that our coaches and staff should wear the blue polo shirts.....Looks much better....(Red makes Roosy look fat)

Unless you are from 10% of the population ( the very fit ) Red makes everyone look fat.

Yes, because I'm sure the same people designing the jumpers are out there training the players.

We can chew gum and walk at the same time.

One might say they didnt design them at all !! :unsure::rolleyes:

I hope they force teams like Collingwood, Essendon etc. to get actual away jerseys not the pitiful excuses they bring out now.

Certainly agree re Essendon. However, I don't understand why people drag Collingwood into this issue. While their traditional Guernsey is primarily black, their alternate one is primarily white, and perfectly fine.

Yes, Collingwood is lucky enough to have a terribly boring colour set and design that easily lends itself to be made very dark and then very light, simply by 'drawing the shades'...

Not sure if there was another thread for our new away strip but this was the first I found.

So what are the thoughts in the new white away strip since seeing it in action? Personally I think they finally got it right, or at least as good as it could get. To me it's kinda similar to the old NBA simple white alternative uniforms.

My wife bought me one (white, not red) for Xmas, and I think it's a great looking jumper.

What does it look like this year? I have not seen it in detail.

    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

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.

    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
