    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 don't mind it. The key to a good clash jumper is that the primary colour must be different from the main home jumper colours. The red one clashed with Essendon still and also was not a great contrast against Adelaide. By having silver as the primary colour, it will now stand out clearly from these two clubs, as well as other clashes with Freo, Carlton and the Bulldogs.

I also like how there's still some red and blue in it to keep it Melbourne-specific. The design is a little odd and the red line/sash reminds me a bit of Essendon which I don't really like (sorry Ash). But on the whole I think it does the job well.

If kath and kim had a football team they would wear that jumper, it is the worst piece of [censored] i have ever seen, this is worse than the lions white jumper and any other crappy one any other club has worn, we will be the laughing stock of the AFL. I hope we get flogged in every match we wear that atrocious crap.

Who freakin designs this? Really they need a reality check.

I repeat

WORST! JUMPER! EVER!

Sorry...I think it's bluddy awful!

Our colours are Red and Blue not Silver, Red and Blue.

We should come up with a variation on our normal jumper and not shell out to some graphic designer wanting to add to her/his portfolio (conjecture yes - but I wonder) <_<

I actually think it looks ok

But i'm a bit confused as to why we need another alternate strip

What's wrong with the pre-dominantly red one that we used a few times this year?

new logo and a new sponser....so 1, we wouldnt be allowed to wear an assics design, and 2, it is out dated because of our new logo

i dont mind this jumper....its not as good as i was hoping but i think it pooos on this years one....i was hoping it would have something to do with the 150 thing, or be a bit more traditional....carltons clash jumper is still by far the best, dare i say it

The jumper is actually not bad, and the block use of a neutral silver colour, is good.

The thing that bothers me is that the design is not balanced. Garments that are flattering, work on an equal top to bottom ratio. The fact that the bottom part of the jumper is so busy, will IMO be very distracting. But I understand that they wanted to still incorporate our usual jumper into it, so from that point of view they did well.

I wonder if they hired a design company to come up with this jumper. Anyone know?

i still cant work out why we need a clash jumper. for the 2 or 3 games a year we need to wear a clash we should be selling our jumper design to some company that wants advertising (like the carlton blue smarty). make money out of that instead of selling home games, we dont lose tradition that way...

Really does it matter what we think? As far as i can work out the advisory thing is a load of crap! The way every Melbourne supporter that I know votes they go the opposite way so do you think they will care what we think? The Melbourne Football club has a list as long as my arm of putting members/supporters second and I as much as I wish believe it won't change anytime soon...

Oh yeah I hate the jumper to.

And maybe it could look like [censored]!

Oh wait, it already does.

i dont think you understand the concept of a clash jumper...as much as we might not like it, the AFL insists all clubs have one and the little clubs like us cant fight back...the idea is that it doesnt clash with other teams jumpers, even if you want to for the 2-3 real clashes in the year, sell out to sponsors and let them design it, it can only really be done for one offs because jumpers need to be done in the masses and the AFL has to approve them blah blah blah...also, the changes in alternative jumper allows more revenue because hopefully nore young fans will buy the jumper now...

and maybe the design isnt that great but its not as bad as your making it out to be...it fits in with the new logo, the home jumper and wont clash...that is the idea last time i heard

I dont mind it..

It only bemuses me that with the opportunity to crow about our anniversary that it doesnt prominantly display the 150. Surely that needs to be everything Melbourne this ( I mean next ) year :)

I just know i will regret uttering these words..( as many just wont get the context..*sigh* )

but in reality what is lively and happening about our home guernsey ?? its just a jumper we all love.. but theres not a lot happening on it either !!

The reality is they could come up with a dozen jumpers and there will always be those that Ok it..and those that nay-say it.

Im more concerned with whose wearing them to be honest

...having said that i still reckon the 150 ought to be featured.. but its not.. such if life.. we move on

    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,

    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
