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.

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.

    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
