Hi all,

I don't post very often any more but anything to do with my little man brings me out.

Demon_jacob received his little demon membership last night. Well done MFC, he loves it!! He had the beanie (or as he calls it, meanie) on first thing this morning, and even wanted the scarf too. The mini scarf is a great idea.

He's not 2yo yet but his membership says 3 years membership. Not a bad effort. Might even have to attend his first game next year.

Keep up the great work membership department.

I'm trying to upload a picture. Anyone know why its not working?

    The Mini Scarf is great, my daughter ran up to her Nana who is trying to convert her to the Kangaroos wearing the Scarf and put it around her neck. It was like holy water on a vampire.

    I am a MFC "tragic" living in Adelaide (and am making my first post). I have a 3yo son, who was signed up on the day of his birth as a MFC and a Norwood FC member by me, and an Adelaide FC member by his grandfather. My son happened to be in a humidicrib at the time. My wife questioned my priorities but I'm sure that all Forum members would agree that I was right. I do not want to "impose" the Demons on my son living in Adelaide. I hope that he makes the right choice between the Demons and Crows (Port not being an option compatible with life in our household).

    Anyway, I was about to "blast" MFC for not supporting and encouraging their junior members. The Crows sent a parcel with a football, a trucker cap, an iPod "sock" and other stuff within 2-3 days of paying his membership this year. Nothing had arrived from MFC. I could see that I was losing the battle. Then, two nights ago, a parcel arrived from MFC containing a soft footy, a high-quality cap, a calendar, stickers and other stuff. My son was over-joyed. The MFC parcel easily "beat" the Crows offering.

    Despite the MFC's financial situation, I believe that we must "break even" or even make a small loss on our junior memberships by offering these sorts of enducements. We must win the "hearts and minds" of the next generation of "tragics" that will hopefully include my son. I am perhaps in the ideal position to view what a wealthy club like the Crows can offer. Well done to the MFC administration for competing (and winning) on this year's junior membership package! Apart from a premiership, I think that it is probably the most important "competition" in which MFC is invloved.

    Thanks for the good news story Norwood Redleg. I'm not sure what profit / loss the club is making on the "little devil" membership but one thing it does do is illustrate to the AFL that there is a new generation of supporter coming through.

    Qouting Norwood and giving no reply...my apologies.

    What I was going to say was let the club know. Send it an email at the least, send a photo of your son (and good health to him) or encourage it in some other way. This is an initiative that needs encouragement.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
