    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.

Looking at the membership numbers posted we look to be travelling okay. I would be one of those optimistic souls who thinks we will surpass the magic 30,000 without any drama. All we need is a competitive start to the year and should we pull off a win or two that will be a bonus.

Dogs 19,688

Lions 20,931

Saints 24246

Power 24,357

DEES 24,453

Cats 25,000

Tiges Cant work out whether the matchday figure of 31,052 includes non Matchday of 7,738 As Pauline says "Please explain"

C/tank 32,161

Pies 36,318

Hawks 43,924 Include approximately 7,000 here in Tassie. With all our Tassie background this should have been us. Green, Febey, Febey, Lyon, Marquis, etc, etc,

i rekon that looks pretty good to me Febes..i mean we are only a few hundred off the Cats who are the reigning Premiers. imagine if we cant beat there memberships after rd 1. Stick it to the AFL. Just wondering tho where did u get that figure? i looked at the MFC website and the counter still says 22,833. I have seen the 24,000 figure floated around and think it may have been in an email update too. can u confirm the figure source plz.

I think its because they have limited seats in their stadium so they can't sell as many conventional memberships as other clubs.

It doesn't matter though as their gameday profit far outweighs the negative.

True.

Thanks for clearing that up mate.

Just to set the record straight.

All the figures quoted came from the individual club sites. Those not shown didn't have any mention of numbers at all.

Now on one G.Lyon. Son of Peter and born in Devonport, Tasmania. Peter was the captain coach of the Devonport team. Then when GL was but a small lad the family moved, (I think back), to Kyabram.

I just HOPE SO MUCH we can win Round 1...Round 2 against the Pies is an away game but we could make some good coin on that day.. Round 1 win Round 1 win..............

Right on the money there, but I hope we and nth for that matter turn up in our 1000's. A crowd of under 45k will be a failure in my eyes for rd 1 weather permitting. Any chance of 25k by the start of next week?

45k will be a stretch for a Sunday 1pm game.

Hoping for more, but with our position and prospects for this year...

Not getting to 45k isn't failing.

rnd 1, 2 vic sides playing. We have 25k members + MCC + General tickets + Roos fans should be well above 40k. Not rnd 18 after a poor year for either club.

I suspect MFC will have 25-30k there, it will be the roo boys that let us down if we are well under 40k.

We played round (4) last year in the game that was moved from the Gold Coast.

It was the Kangaroos "let's show the AFL why we're staying in Melbourne and get along to the game" game.

23,000?

Monty,

25k members wont front to the game. Often its less than a third of members that do go to a game. I would expect possibly half of the MFC members will. Many of the MFC members are also MCC members and will sit in the MCC.

A nice day...30 to 35k.

45k is a pipedream.

Thats right and our form was setting the competition alight rd1-3 last year! Nth is the problem we will be lucky if 5-10k of their fans turn up. I can't understand why they are staying in vic with no supporter base. What will happen if/when they have a couple of bad years. 1st game of the year, like I said if we have less then 25-30k MFC fans turn up

Well we're not exactly blowing the doors off the place now either.....

I agree with Rhino, anything over 30 000 and we will be having a pretty good day.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
