  • 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.

I don't understand why we always have red merchandise, blue merchandise with red would look far better.

Yeah im with you on that Clint, blue shirt red logo, would be much better. Guess they want them to stand out at games.

There is thought that too many other teams are producing dark blue / black gear now. Even sides like Adelaide ( God I hate them ) have produced some gear predominately dark blue.

Add in gear from Carlton, Bulldogs, Hawthorn ( believe it or not ) and the cats plus a lot of black and even Dark Purple from Fremantle.

So to be different the MFC are going mainly RED.

That is what was put to me when I asked the club this question.

Pretty sure its design is by Dave Larkins better known as lead singer of Dallas Crane, who also works for the Dees.

He showed me this design 6 months ago and it looked fabulous then, but it was late.... He has been working behind the scenes for a while now designing and re-branding.

Can play too.

Well done Larko!

Makes it even better. There arent too many things that are more Melbourne than Dallas Crane. Maybe The Smith Street Band singing "It's a Grand Ol' Flag"

I don't mind the rebrand (or rebland?) at all, I am just aware that the success of the team will define the success of the club's brand.

Well done to all in the city today, happened to be there on business today and got a free footy and a photo of Nat Jones graffiti. Smart marketing. Hope they get mileage out of it and commitment to it.

But, yeah, we won no fans with this - we all know what will...

Could it be that the shape is supposed to represent a heart? If so, that would make sense in several ways. Although, as an anatomist who has handled more than a few hearts, I can tell you that it's a very symbolic approximation of a heart!

The blue certainly looks better then the red.

“We tried doing the emblem in a few different shapes, but we decided on an emblem that said a little bit about the past and a lot about the future.”

Umm, it has the name of the club/city and the old monogram in a shield that is sometimes borderless.

How does it say all these things?

Love it

If I was a young player (AS IF)... I would be absolutely buzzing and loving Melbourne..... as a club that has turned the corner and will succeed.

The whole package of good financial report, Hogan, Viney, the strong midfield, the stable coaching panel, ....would have me itching to be picked up by Melbourne or be at Melbourne ......and be part of what is happening.

And now the early wins......

There really is something happening.

Someone in charge is doing a very good job.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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
