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.


iSelect - new BOJ sponsor

Timing wise, if a deal has been struck, I'd announce it just before the season starts. Might bring in a few extra members and build further momentum. In PJ we trust.

Hmmm....
I'm a little worried about the lack of BOJ sponsor. PJ hasn't put a foot wrong really since arriving but I think he will need to get cracking on this one.
That being said, it should happen before round 1. I just would like it to happen sooner.

Exactly. There is no way he isn't on top of it. Going into the season without a BOJ sponsor would be future career suicide for a CO of Jackson's standards. They just don't make these sorts of mistakes. I feel pretty confident we are just waiting to time the announcement for maximum effect. Or maybe they're just held up a bit due to actually doing some research on the company this time before accepting bundles of tainted cash.

TAC has some cash to spare, although Clarry got done for speeding recently.

Drink driving I thought. Let's be honest any TAC/footy club partnership is fraught with danger. They've already had to cut ties with Collingwood, Richmond and Geelong due to player indescretions.

For impact and "impression" youd announce it AFTER the pretend footy and before the real ;)

you'll have to trust in pj. yeah, i know, time is running out. suspect (actually hope) he has a few options and holding out for better price

In my view at this point there are two options.

We have one and are waiting for the best time to release it or there is none at this point.

This may be PJ's first failure

It is difficult to find the right time if you don't have one to announce bb.

I would have thought the club was a good      place for a sponsorship right now. 

I find the whole thing very strange...

Maybe companies are still to forgive CS for the way he dealt with sponsorships, no doubt Company CEO's would have talked amongst themselves back then. 

For an emerging AFL Club who is part of a $2 Bill broadcast deal to not have a BOJ Sponsor at the beginning of a season is just wrong...

May well be a storm in a tea cup SWYL. we will know one way or the other in 17 days time.

PJ and co have earnt the right for us to give them the benefit of the doubt. However supporters are naturally wary due to the failures of previous administrations. It's not a big deal at the moment as I have faith that the club are working on this to ensure it gets done by round 1, it's just a little odd at the moment is all especially with our increased exposure and expected upturn in performance.

How can you know..if not announced ? That's my point. Roll them out when you get more of an impact. The club is now very good at keeping mum until it wants to release its news.

Young men will never learn not to drink-drive ... but the TAC should know that. They are the slow learners.

Can we not just put AHG on our back until we find a new sponsor?

We look like amateur hour without a back sponsor. I feel like I'm watching the Dees circa 1993.

Whatis the point in that?

telling potential companies that we don't need more sponsorship?

Clown School.

    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
