    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.

Hey for those with the Blu-ray of the GF, do you hear an echo with the umpire’s mic in the 1st quarter (channel 7 audio)?

It’s only for the 1st quarter and the audio issue doesn’t occur with Youtube replays of the GF (which I watch far too many times to my family’s bewilderment).

The 3rd and 4th quarters are fine (didn’t check the 2nd quarter haha).

Is there a trick to get to the other calls ? If i choose aw  i still get 7

My Blu-ray changes to the other commentaries.

(Mind you I didn’t select it from the menu and selected the audio via the Blu-ray player’s remote.)

Do you have the umpire mic echo issue on yours?

Not sure but a good excuse to watch again

It doesn't matter whether you use the Blu-ray player or the TV to do upscaling - there's still only a 720x576i picture to work with. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear through upscaling.

Far better to just watch the replays through afl.com.au (or through the AFL app if you need to AirPlay/Chromecast to the big screen) which are 1. free and 2. 1280x720p...

(As an aside, the Herald Sun shop finally got my mug to me 😄)

So it appears to be the consensus that it's no use buying the Victory Pack with only DVD quality. Probably wait until next year or after when the pack is discounted right down. I see the Tigers 2020 Victory Pack now sells for about $25 and their 2017 pack for about $5!

I have the game(s) on my Foxtel IQ so have HD available at present

Has anyone got the DVD Victory Pack. Is the picture good if you use your Bluray player to upscale the DVD picture?

Cheers

Picture is ok playing the DVD in a blu-ray player, but there is quite a noticeable difference in picture quality when watching the GF Blu-ray Disc.

Sorry I am a bit confused. Does the Victory Pack have the GF in Bluray and the other two games and Season Highlights in DVD or are all 4 discs in the Victory Pack all DVD?

Cheers

Victory pack has all 3 finals games in DVD format. 

I ordered the GF separately in Blu-Ray as well, and the difference is quite noticeable (even when watching the DVD in a blu-ray player).

You won’t be disappointed! The T is so well made; of a much higher quality than the others.

Very interesting! Does it have Jaguar on the back? I might've missed it but thought their sponsorship was due to expire at the end of 2021. Might just be that they've re-signed but not announced it yet?

I am actually surprised at this announcement. Not because we are not worthy but because the Jag group have lost considerable market share over the last two years. There sales have tanked substantially and I wondered if cost cuts might be the end of the MFC sponsorship. Obviously not. They are changing to all electric so perhaps they see us as a good vehicle to show off their new  electric cars.

I've done the same as you, I was rather annoyed when I got the Victory Pack and when I played the GF the lines on the ground were shimmering and distorted. I got 4 packs that cost me over $600n and not only is the picture poor, the umpires voices are muffled like they are in a tunnel.

I've got the Blue Ray copies but haven't seen them yet because they were delivered to my son.

As iterated elsewhere, I purchased the whole season package from Sanity which comprises EVERY ONE of our games throughout the 2021 season. The finals are in BLU RAY Format and at $ 144.95 to me it is the "Investment of a lifetime"

Also with it is a retrospective "Highlights" package as well! I'm Happy!😁

That shimmering sure puts you off.  I went and bought a blu ray player and it wasnt much better till I upped the resolution to 1080 (isnt that a poison?)

My local Sanity has 50% off everything but the chance of it having AFL is very remote.

All the finals are in bluray? It's just the GF isnt it?

I've got the GF bluray and the victory pack but won't shell out for the season pack if the quality isn't that great.  I found copies online of every game in 1080p including multiple commentary tracks for the QF and didn't have to pay a cent. It's only just over 200GB in total too so you could fit it on 4 or 5 Blu-ray discs (50gb each I think). Surely the AFL/distributors can give us some better quality asking us to pay in excess of $100.

Can you tell me where you found it, I'd like to get it as a back up.

    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

    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,
