  • 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.

Great to see us get beyond the 20,000 mark but I'm like a few earlier posters that haven't received their "stuff" as yet. I renewed the entire family etc. at the same time, they've all got theirs but mine’s missing.

I signed up in early November and have yet to receive anything.

More importantly, I am extremely proud to announce the arrival of our newest fan and soon to be member. Mini Hell Bent arrived 23/1 11:25 am. His name..........How could I go past Jack! Now, what bloody number do I get for his guernsey??

BTW, does anyone have any idea on deals/packages for baby memberships??

Congrats. The lucky little bugger will get to spend his formative years watching us win flags.

Article in The Age today (Jan 24) points out how on-field success translates into membership sales but fails to note that right now Melbourne (20,080) has equal numbers to the Bulldogs (20,078) and Geelong (20, 373) and Carlton (20,102).

We are ahead of Brisbane, Port, Richmond, Sydney and the Roos.

We are miles behind Hawthorn and the Woods (about 40,000 each) but it shows our admin is doing a pretty good job in the face of three tough years. Also, congrats to our fans for putting their money where their hearts are (bought four memberships this week meself).

Cheers Rojik and WYL. Yep, he will start going to the footy this year and he will get used to winning very quickly! Hopefully our ``window`` is still open in 10 years time and he can actually remember a flag or 2!!

Asolutley no chance we will make 35k this year.

The membership ladder is pretty much set in stone yearly. Bottom three = Dogs, Dees, Roos.

Is it me or is it strange that the membership figure only grew by around 1000 in the whole January? Perhaps ppl are waiting see what our NAB form is like?

Is anyone else still waiting on their membership kit?

I signed up early November and have not heard a peep from the club! I`m not complaining, but just want to know if there are others in the same boat?

I'd give the club a call - I signed up around the same time and got my pack in the mail mid-Dec.

I did the same and got mine last friday so yours is probably on the way. Funny thing is I joined the whole family on the same day and all the other kits arrived before Christmas.

Strangely enough not everyone lives, breathes, eats and sleeps football. Some have lives outside of the oval realm, go figure huh!!

Budgets are often stretched and priorities juggled. in this light a lot of members wont part with any monies till they have them, especially after xmas and holidays and getting kids back to school etc. So often its not until 3-4 more pays that some folk have the moula to pay for their beloved footy team's membership

I tip 33,666 as this years tally

I'd definately contact the Club. A mate of mine is still waiting, and it seems that his package went astray in the pre Christmas postal strike in Melbourne.

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess a phone call wouldnt go astray! (unlike my membership kit it seems!!)

I don't know if we will struggle to get 35k, I do not think we will get to it, as for numbers at the moment, a lot still get theres on the first match day.

for a bit of fun go watch all the people push and shove to sign up 10 mins before the first game, usually a good abusive argument or two :)

in this day and age yo have to wonder why anyone would do it this way ??? silly to me.

A lot may depend on those first 3-4 games. With momentum comes those still on fences and hiding :lol:

i think we might just crack 35000 though Ive previously thought it would be 33,666. :unsure:

Sure a lot of people wait for those first few rounds to see if it is worth it. Its Crap but that's what they do.

A first up win against the Dawks & 35K is looking achievable.

If after 5 rounds we are 0-5 well then we will struggle to make 30K. Sad but true.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
