    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 found a very tiny image of the 1988 Melbourne losing VFL Grand Final poster.

Here is the link on Big Footy with all the losing Grand Final posters:losingweg-png.150229

I have looked everywhere on the Internet for a larger version of the 1988 one. However, if someone could find a larger version of the image it would be greatly appreciated.

Is it just me or a lot of the times the losing poster looks better than the winning poster?

Very fortunate to have been given this original poster bought at auction and is signed by Norm Smith, Ron Barassi and others from the 1957 team. Hopefully a 2021 poster to join it soon. 🤞

Has anyone seen how Mark Knight draws demons? Also, I heard from WEG’s son in law (at his store) that if we win the grand final, we’ll get getting the poster we would have got if we’d won 4 in a

Only thing I didn’t like was the 1964 tattoo and the “Norm Smith curse” (which I don’t subscribe to) comment. But apart from that, it’s a really great poster that I show with pride on my wall. He’s no WEG, but I think the grand final poster art is in good hands.

Be thankful that he just did that. As was pointed out earlier in the thread, he sounded a little peeved that the club was very specific that no references to cheese platters, snow, skiing or Range Rovers be included. Lord only knows what he initially planned! 😳

Looks like WEG phoned it in a bit during the mid 80’s. 

The Hawthorn ‘84 and ‘85 ones are identical and, upon doing some Googling, Essendon’s 83 one was reused when they won it in ‘83. 😕

The fact is it’s rubbish. If he’s got something against the club then he can pass the baton to someone else. I thought the weg one was just perfect

I like both the WEG posters and the Mark Knight posters.

Although I slightly favour the WEG posters because of the tradition and history behind them over many decades.

Fingers crossed the 1988 and 2000 WEG grand final posters get re-used for more Melbourne Demons Premierships in the near future! 🤞 GO DEMONS!!! 👹🔴🔵

The 88 and 2000 ones are much better than the 50s/60s ones I reckon. The 50s ones in particular look a bit weird especially the mouths, 64 is good though.

The anniversary ones that have been released are pretty good too (there was one for the 55-57 three-peat as well as the 55 and 64 ones with the Demon skewering the Magpie).

Well definitely the 1988 and the 2000 WEG grand final posters do! 😉

Let's hope that they can be re-used for Premiership glory very soon. After a 57 year drought we can definitely say that Premierships are hard to win!

Now that we have a very good team we need to make the most of our opportunities so that the Melbourne Demons have sustained success.

Funnily enough I have to agree that the  Demons image for 1988 WEG grand final poster is excellent (even if it is difficult to see because it is so small and distorted).

However, I do have a stronger emotional attachment to the 2000 WEG grand final poster though. I guess I have vivid memories of it when it was shown in the Herald Sun newspaper and on TV on the grand final edition of the Footy Show on channel 9 way back in 2000. I also like how the Demon is holding a Premiership cup.

Nevertheless it woukd make sense chronologically to use 1958, then 1988 and then 2000. But we will wait any see I guess? We are certainly overdue for a few more Premiership Flags so we shall wait and see!

Good news!

I was kindly given a copy from a person on Big Footy of the image of the WEG 1988 losing VFL Grand Final poster for Melbourne.

 

It's a ripper this poster!

 

I highly recommend people save this image as it is very rare!

Yes, of course. I just like the WEG artwork.

The 1988 grand final was a horrible day! I was too young to remember it but it's not something I would ever want to re-watch either. The 2000 grand final was terrible enough!

Nevertheless, the 1958 losing grand final poster has now been re-used by the WEG family. Time for the 1988 and 2000 losing grand final posters to be re-used as well....hopefully!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
