  • 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.

Donate your old Melbourne guernsey to the Lord Mayor's Charitable Fund at this years game (I assume at the MELBOURNEfc Megastore), and you'll get a $20 discount on THIS years 150th Special Edition guernsey.

Great way to give something to charity, spread the Melbourne love, and pick up one of this year's jumpers.

Also - two players will be in attendance to SIGN your new guernseys from 1.15pm - 1.45pm before the game on Sunday.

THIS IS A ONCE OFF ONLY FOR THIS SUNDAY'S GAME.

Why the hell would you trade-in an old Melbourne guernsey?!?!?!

I have more than 10 of them and would not trade them for anything less than a premiership!

There is so much history and each guernsey has it's own memories.... Not too mention blood, sweat and tears (Used to punch on a bit after footy)

Trading them in is a horrible thought!

You would have to kill me before you got my Rodney Grinter guernsey!!!

I still have my old one from 1987. It's got number 2 on the back (of course) and was the only jumper that featured the old VFL emblem with our current colours. I'm not sure I could bear to part with it. (not that I would actually squeeze into it anymore) I assume people will still be able to buy the new guernsey at full price and still get it signed?

same here ,had no lgos though, just number 1 , o dwyer

Haha I had one of these as well. Think mine might have been the old royal blue with just a vfl logo and number 1 on the back, was a long time ago now.

I'm the same as most here and am reluctant to part with my old favourites. What are the chances they'd take training guernseys, I have one of the old bright orange Fila ones I picked up on the cheap when we shifted over to Asics?

I was wanting to add a 150th guernsey to my collection, preferably a match worn one from the afl auctions site but we don't seem to be auctioning any, might have to buy one straight off the shelf.

I think it's a great idea. It encourages us to buy the 150 year guernsey, it also gives something to charity, plus it gets all of those old Melbourne jumpers onto people around the city.

Supporters win = cheaper 150 guernsey

Charity wins = more clothes to keep people warm

MFC wins = sell more 150 guernsies + have more exposure/supporters with kids wearing Melbourne jumpers around the place.

I really like the idea and will probably be bringing down all the jumpers that don't have any personal value.

Hopefully the club will be able to donate a heap of jumpers to charity tomorrow, as well as sell a few hundred more "150 Year" guernseys in the process.

Get down there tomorrow.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
