  • 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.

The silence from the club to members is poor. I  even asked and got no reply.

Maybe they didn't understand the question...

There will come a time where holding out for a bigger offer in the hope that getting top market value is worth waiting a little longer for, will only last a few more weeks before that idea becomes untenable. There will come a point where accepting a smaller deal sooner will make more sense than accepting a bigger deal later - if that makes sense...

Seriously what do you want from the club?

1. We don't have a sponsor because.........

2. Our price is too high

3. No one wants to sponsor us

4. We dont want to lower our price to set a low benchmark for future

5. We are in deep discussions and nearly there.

Get over yourself.

We don't have one. Do you think the club are trying to get one? Do you want the club to issue a press release every time we make a phone call to potential sponsor?

I'd be guessing you don't work in the commercial world becasue you sure as hell have little idea about how it works.

7 News reporting bulldogs have signed Mercedes as their back of jumper sponsor. 

Did we potentially lose out to them?

Things happen when you win Premierships

We have AHG as our main sponsor. I wouldn't have thought you would have 2 sponsors from the same industry.

What ever Mr. High and mighty.

What I would like from time to time for the club to speak to its members and give them and insight into the club and what is going on. Sorry for caring. I think major going ons like lack of a major sponsor which could potentially mean a end of year loss would be something the club should be proactive about. I get that information from Bolton.

just noticed china southern on the collar on adelaide coach collars...we have IG on our coach collars. china southern came on board as a sponsor a couple years ago - have we shafted them? or are they diversifying their sponsorships. have we missed the opportunity to upgrade them to a jumper?

Haven't shafted them

They diversified.

Check club website and observe sponsors on background  at pressers.

How about we go left field and approach the Australian Beef Industry. An industry body more likely to have resources than an individual company.

Red and blue are  comparable colours. Paler diet was key last season is it still in favour.

Could provide plenty of crossover with cooking shows and references.

Might endear us to the NT citizens involved in the industry.

Also could be a handy international reference if we play in China.

Even as an introductory reduced rate for rest of season could have mutually beneficial community appeal.

Problem is that if we go in that direction someone on this board will have a beef with that idea.

You're right.

There's too much bull involved.

They are not exactly stampeding in to the marketing office.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.

    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
