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.

It's pretty basic. There's not a lot happening with it, such as the old one. I'm the same as ADC on this.

I liked the current (or now old) one. Liked the recognition it displayed and it's meanings, as did many here who may have changed their previous views all of the sudden.

Not me H_T I disliked the CS Logo from Day 1 It was simply too busy. I like this more. Good move by the Marketing department.

However I do agree with rpfc All these things like clash jumpers and logo,s are now of little consequence to me

The only thing that gets my attention is winning games.

When we have won 10 this year and 15 in 2017 I will worry about these items.

Yeah, agree with this od. Winning games is essential. So too a team/club building for sustained success IMHO.

I recall you not liking the old one old dee. I just find it amusing. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I was proud of the now old one, the effort that had gone into it, how they explained the recognition of different aspects making up the logo. Many liked it, including many opposition supporters who I know, looked upon the logo with envy.

I am not putting the club down for doing these things I just find it hard to be excited about them.

I am excited about the Quality of our squad improving, the coming draft and the 2016 season.

I was a fan of the now old one, prefer it to the new one. I do like the new one though and the simplicity will serve better when looking for new people who may not have understood the relevance of all the parts of the old one. The new one is also better at linking the club to the city, which is a good goal.

Love the fact the club has been so out there in the marketing of this though, almost seems like we now support an entirely different team, one with confidence and who is brash! Here's hoping it translates across to the field.

Great, so why are you talking about that in a thread which is about the new logo?

That's like going into a thread about Jesse Hogan and complaining about Dean Terlich not being good enough.

Great marketing campaign, well done MFC.

I dunno,I loved the old school 70's/80s demon the best, but this one is OK

Looking at those you would have to say we have been confused for some time.

We must be close to holding the record for Logo changes.

I like the new one, but I liked the old one better. The old one was busier, which suited me but probably doesn't suit the times. Anyway, I like the way this has been done. Well done MFC!

Great to see Daisy with Jonsey on the promo. Our two captains!

Daisy is a great role model and someone to aspire to for the little 'aussie kick' girls ...might make them little Demons (and convert parents and siblings) :rolleyes:

good to see you got that bit right :lol:

A big FU to the AFL website though for spoiling the build up.

But have they ? I think we used them quite well :rolleyes:

Im thinking something (s) else are still to come.

We'll know tonight :)

Each to their own I guess but the old logo was not a logo, a logo is supposed to give you some immediate recognition. The old one was trying to do and be too many things.

Love the new one...simply the Melbourne Football Club, leave the other stuff to be recognised by statues and history books.

Do you think there may be a new Demon logo as well? Maybe a new jumper? Maybe the clash jumper will just be that new logo on a white jumper. Would be better than the current IMO. I guess we will find out if the afl has spoiled the show at 5:30

I didnt mind the older one but in a way..and with deference to our song possibly. ..it was more an Emblem than a logo.

Good logos for successful brands/businesses/clubs are often very much simplified in terms of colour and design.

Im looking forward to seeing the new one everywhere ...lol

Going to be interesting to see how far these gorilla tactics go.

Its clever. I like clever :)

Hawthorn supporters love wallowing in their pee&cackiness. Who can deny that Miranda Kerr would look great dressed in a potato sack? I'll wait and see before I like it.

I'd be happy to wallow if we had won 4 premierships lately too!!

I liked what the previous logo stood for, but as was mentioned before, it was not really a logo as a logo should be easily/instantly recognisable... it looked more like a shield(?). I like the new one, but if I was to have one complaint it is that the shape reminds me a little too much of the Warner Bros logo (but that's just me, I fear).

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
