  • 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.

There's usually someone who congratulates a first poster when their post is a goodie. Allow me to jump in: Well done and welcome PD.

one thing ive always wondered is why we dont offer away game reserved seating packages for Redleg, Trident or Legends members to games at the g or etihad like some other clubs do?

id happily pay another $100-150 a season for it and it would be great to have a dedicated section of bays with all Dees supporters.

considering we have our substitute home games due to the NT deal and our home game at etihad without a dedicated seat i thought this would have been a given and would boost membership revenue by around 500,000 with a 3000-4000 uptake

Anyone see Gawn on 360? Said the next 1000 members to sign up get a New Balance voucher (I think it was $70?) May offset the cost of a 3 game membership if you want to spend it on a new pair of shoes.

Just got the email this week from the club for 70% off from New Balance.  I certainly have saved more than my membership cost with a couple of pairs of shoes and a new pair of Footy boots.

I was sitting in the Southern stand on Sunday night and there was a very definite Demon presence coming from the entire Northern stand which was tremendous.

Yep like being at a revivalist meeting except we were worshipping the Demons. Come to think of it, it  is ok to worship Shiva.

Uhm don't know if I'm the only one but I can't see any Dees gear on the site now. Old mate who sits next to me at work bought Dees gear yesterday. Appears sold out on Dees gear... I have email the club.

I was in that stand, and looking at the members/Northern stand was a great sight. 

Even better when Razor Ray made a blue early on with a decision and the entire stand went up in unison to vent. 

Water off a duck's back with Razor. He even had the cheek to demand a water bottle from a MFC trainer for a swig.

That is a little unfair to Bugg as he can actually do his job fairly well, something Ray simply can't.

true, and he's better looking too :lol:

While the momentum is there, this post is merely to keep this thread at the top of the first page to motivate my fellow Demonlanders!

Received the below in an email from the club earlier this week.  Not quite reserved seats but sitting with all Dees supporters. 

Do I have access to my reserved seat?
Reserved seat members do not have access to a reserved seat at this game, however there will be areas within the ground that you will simply be able to show your 2016 membership card and sit amongst other Melbourne members. These bays are on the wing on Level 1, aisles 36/37 and 37/38.

I'm assuming that specific to this weeks game rather than "away" games at the G?

I tend to avoid our away games at the G these days as I don't really want to be stuck with the opposition supporter or behind the goals. If there was this Level 1 wing area I'd probably start making my way in again.

I wonder how many unique memberships we've had over past 5 years, I.e. People who were members in 2013 but dropped off. 

I imagine it would be well over 40,000 and that the key this year is to win them all back, again...

Does anyone know the extent the MFC membership team trawl through the "lapsed members" list?

    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
