  • 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

Maybe running out on ANZAC Eve with a new sponsor on our backs infront of 70k and more on tv, is the perfect (and valuable) media exposure our new sponsor is waiting for. Surely would get some noise and attention.

Just a thought...

As mentioned, that would take away from the significance of the jumper.

No chance.

No not at all. I find it sad that as a member of the number 1 sport in the country we cannot sell sponsorship. Companies should be bidding for space considering the exposure AFL gets year round now

Unfortunately that's the price of having low membership numbers and minimal FTA/prime time exposure 

Having one of our rare prime time games shunted to 7mate doesn't help

It really has nothing to do with who is playing. It's a Richmond home game and they have huge membership numbers.

Ch7 would have made the decision based on a national viewing audience not just the Victorian. NSW and QLD will be watching that cooking crap not the footy. 3million plus viewers nationally as opposed to 1/2 - 1 million viewers in Victoria would be pretty simple for Ch7

Because of this thread I looked for the Port (back of jumper sponsor) on the TV last night.... I still remember Scott's transport.

Anyway despite hard looking on my rather large TV ...and having my glasses on... it probably took me about 15-20 mins until the TV showed a back shot where the sponsor's name was readable and even then I had to extrapolate (guess) the words because they were not clear. As it was Renault one could tell from the stylised R.

Front sponsors were much easier to identify due to close up shots of player fronts.

Just an observation.

I have a fair idea how TV works

i just wonder whether both clubs were aware of this from early on. 

Not everyone will tune in to 7mate, they will turn on Ch7 and see no footy and give up. Regardless of advertising the situation 

this is exactly why the AFL will have their own TV Channels in time

Old. It varies

So you make a bullshlt statement.

Then evade defining or substantiating it.

Well done.

As is normal Ch7 will advise the footy is over on 7 mate.

Its a non issue.

Those that watch Footy, will watch footy. Those that don't...wont.

You explain it to my Dad then

i will say it one more time

Secondary Channels get about 2/3 of the primary rating

That's a big drop off for a non issue

it aint a bullsh!t statement

MKR is a crap show, the footy will rate well. I'm sure of it. Frankly I'd watch us in black and white.

This jumper is fantastic. With no numbers, next time Hogan bofs someone we can just blame it on Stretch.

Love the sentiment, and the jumper as well; but the details to the game plan are important too. If anyone is going to get rubbed out for Hoges, then it should be Col Garland.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
