  • 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 one or two members of staff that actually remain at the club should really look at our website and change a couple of references to 2007 to the current year which is already 3 months old.

Also, please don't send any additional envelopes with no letter, just a lanyard and pen. It does not reflect well on the club.

I feel sorry for iPrimus which have their name attached to that disgrace of a pen. The information on the pull out is a joke and the spring does not let it 'fling' back into the pen.

Time to get it right guys.

If we have 20,000 members that all received another pen and lanyard, then we have spent $10K on postage plus envelopes and the actual merchandise. Maybe the club should consider waiting until all parts of the membership pack are in stock and send it with one mailout. It would save a fortune.

I agree about the wasted money.

You would think that a club that is screaming out for $ would do something about it. :blink:

It seems that the club sites are slowly being changed to the 2008 "AFL webpage" Format.

Ours seems to be one of the last to be done. Clubs like the Bulldogs and Adelaide have the new format already.

there are a lot of threads going around here about this sort of thing...but those pens truly are terrible. My pen managed to break in 5 different ways within the first few hours of recieving it :angry:

The pen's probably worth about $0.80c.

How's the rest of your life holding up?

I can see the point being made.. people can make light of the idea its only a cheap pen.. But if so why send the bloody thing.. Also why waste money if we're supposed to be strapped?.

There's an old adage...look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves.

we waste 10 grand here.. 10 grand there 15 over there etc..

This money could be going to something that actually has merit instead of down the gurgler.

So Rhino..as it doesnt bother you.. I can count on a check to the club to cover all the wastgae ?? B) :rolleyes:

Not enough threads here already for you to have a whinge in?

It's a valid point that Shmekel makes. It is little things like this that make the Melbourne Football Club inferior to those "powerhouses". The sooner the club, and more specifically the supporters, wake up to this - the better.

Looks like the Shmekle was heard (not the first time the smekle is listened to...)

By the way, for those that thought my comment regarding the pen was saying that I wanted a better pen, I think you misunderstood me. I would like the club to either produce quality for our supporters (both on and off the field) rather than the rubbish that is currently being sent to members. Let's hope our new CEO ensures that all departments are producing the best quality for the greatest club in the land.

    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
