  • 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.

Help me get to the MCG!

Hey guys

Well im doing it! IM FINALLY COMING TO THE G!

Was not sure where to post this but wanted as much help as possible as i prepare for this!

After being a supporter since i was in grade 9 i am finally going to the G for the first time! I think....I HOPE!

My youngest brother is turning 21 and we thought as a present we would pay for his return ticket from brissy to melbourne and accommodation!

Some questions

1)We are right for tickets for the game if we are all members? right????

2)We plan to come on Saturday morning and go back to Brisbane Tuesday! so 3 nights. Where do you suggest we stay? REMEMBER we are all either students or unemployed people!

3) We want to participate in the whole queens birthday celebrations like the walk etc.

There is 4 of us coming!

Any other help possible would be great, we are creating a kitty as we speak to help with the costs... If anyone can help in any way that would be fantastic with advice etc.

P.S Sorry i have been a bit inactive with the boards,i have a lot of Tafe and stuff on!

Thanks guys!!!

re: admission, it will depend on your membership, but I'd assume so.

Maybe best to call the club & check first?

Mouse, google YMCA here in Melbourne. I know it sounds a bit naff but would be right for the budget. Leave more to celebrate our win! When you ring the club find out if they are going to have a function after the game even if it is an away game. Have a great time whilst you are here.

Well done for making it to the G.

If you have an interstate membership you will get in on those cards. They allow for five home games so that will surely qualify.

I hope to be down there for that game as well and taking my nephew who lives in Melbourne. I will be staying with them naturally but if I can be of assistance just let me know.

Accommodation I will leave in the hands of those who know. I never have to worry about that fortunately as an ex Melburnian I still have family and friends I can stay with. They come in useful now and then LOL.

Should be a great day and hopefully we get revenge on the Pies that day.

As an aside did you see my post re Qld Demons membership and player sponsorship?

Regarding--

1)Ringing the club and them fixing me up? How do you mean by fixing me up?

2)DemonDeb- Had a little glance at the player sponsorship but as soon as i see money involved i unfortunately know its not too possible at this time. Being a student is dam hard financially! :(

3) Bail- Yep pretty happy how the bloke is going! My brother is over the moon and when we watch on tv he gets all excited when he gets the ball, pretty cool feeling having a mate play for the club ya love.

Thanks guys so far for your help, will let u know updates

Main thing is to make sure that your membership allows you entrance into the ground so ring the club and explain your predicament to them. They may have some suggestions.

That would be a good thing if it was a home game. Sadly, it's Richmond's home game, so you may have problems getting in on a Melbourne Membership. You could try to convince the ticket sellers to give you a student discount which would put tickets at around $13.50. Not sure what sort of concession cards you will have.

As for accommodation, try these sites for hostels.

Shouldn't be too hard to find something in your price range.

Thats ok Mousey, I know how tough it is on limited incomes. As a MFC Member tho, you are a Qld Demon so PM me with your email again and I can send you the membership form.

QB is a Melbourne home game so your membership should you get you into that one. An away game is a different story.

Good luck

    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
