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.

They're expecting 90,000 again.

We got reserved seats in the MCC on Level 4. But I reckon I'll go early to get a Level 1 seat.

I still think regular H&A attendees should get preference to finals seating, instead of all the bandwagoners...

Don't really disagree but would like to give an alternative view:

Re MFC members:  There are many reasons why people can't get to games regularly.  Some stories that touched me in the last week are:   @Deebymistake who is a member and her story is in the 'First Finals' thread.  She can now go to the Semi ?. Then @Neitz the Greatwho lives in Brisbane and buys an Armchair membership just to support the club.  Brought his Dad down for the Elim.  Finally, the delightful story and video of young Sam (son of @Demon Spofforth) who lives in Queensland.  I'm sure there are many, many others who can't get to games but still support the club as best they can. 

Are you referring more to MCC members who have suddenly come out of the woodwork in droves?  A friend expressed sympathy for them as they 'pay all that money for membership' then have to queue up or can't get a seat.  I couldn't share the sympathy as they are go to MCG Away games for free, are able to get finals tickets for free or a nominal fee.  Whereas paid up MFC members have to buy them at AFL prices.  Even paying the $200+ per MFC membership for the Grand Final Guarentee only gives the right to buy a ticket; they still have to pay $xxx to buy the ticket.  So after spending something like $400-$500 for a membership with GFG they still have to pay around $300-500 to go to all finals.  No Guest passes for them either.  Last week in the local Ticketek queue I met a 70+ year old lady whose family had been MFC Trident members for 38 years.  That is some coin!  But she was there in the queue just like everyone else. 

The real bandwagoners for me are those that don't buy an MCC or MFC membership of any sort, don't volunteer, don't donate, don't go to games but come out at finals time.  Have little time for them.

This is a long winded way of saying there are varying degrees of merit for priority purchase of finals tickets.  Not sure game attendance is the best one.  But I don't know what the answer is, either.  Finals ticket purchases will only get worse as our membership increase (Great for the Club Revenue).

I got level 4 right at the back.... Had to get tickets for 8 people.

That sucks mate - I was on my phone from 850 and PC from 855. Got through on PC quicker this time about 910/915. Managed to get 9 tickets M21 row B.

Did you get guest passes or all with AFL memberships? If you got guest passes I think they were only available on level 4 so may be why you were allocated those seats?

I had one Silver membership along 7 Full Gold. I was trying other areas even in batches of 2-3 but kept saying not enough tickets. This was at about 9:10.

Understand that mate and I'm sorry if you're in that category (this is directed at bandwagoners of which there are clearly plenty), but as someone who gives up 4 hours of his weekend every weekend and have done through some very dark times, it pisses me off to think I could miss out on a grand final ticket one day, because some muppet bandwagoner comes along for his or her first footy match for the year.

Totally agree with this. Throwing the club 70 bucks or whatever it costs to become a 3 game member these days is not supporting the club. It's on par with having a magazine subscription. Supporting the club is going to games and cheering on the team. Clearly there are people overseas and interstate who follow the club, but I don't see why the regular attendees should miss out when it matters most.

That's crap no way there weren't at least 2 or 3 seats available in better positions. I must've just lucked out was getting pretty nervous there for a while.

Yep, I'd go a step further mate and adjust the definition of bandwagoner to those without an MFC membership. If you can afford MCC, you afford an extra $80 for MFC, like I do.

I grabbed a ticket earlier today in the Olympic stand. Anyone know of a good standing room area?. I am recovering from a broken shoulder, so will likely stand somewhere quiet. 

Join our throng in M9. Rare for there to be any opposition supporters, partic if the bulk of Hawks people are at he other end of the ground.

Thanks M_9. That is standing room in M9? Would be good to avoid body contact, particularly on the shoulder... and no I’m not Cale Morton.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
