Well I sit in the Olympic Stand & thats almost sold out.

So do I on level 2. The bar that is located directly behind me should be pumping with Melbourne supporters next year. I still think we need to move the premium members from the Hassett room to the Jim Stynes room

I'll admit to being one of those who haven't signed up for 2011. Will do so on either Monday or Tuesday of next week.

That delay has mostly been due to waiting on the outcome of a post-grad scholarship application (I got it) which would allow me to buy a more expensive pack but also partly due to the thoroughly depressing experiences I've had recently with the membership department. Every time I've spoken to someone at other parts of the club they've been fantastic - super enthusiastic, helpful, first-rate. Every time I've spoken to the membership division I get what seems to be a bored teenage girl who doesn't appear to give two hoots about the club and would rather I didn't ask any questions so she can go back to her Myspace and Twitter. That frustration was compounded when I had to call Richmond, Collingwood and Geelong to buy memberships for family members and found that their people were as super enthusiastic and helpful as everyone I've dealt with at MFC apart from the membership division.

Also, that lousy experience will make people far less inclined to upgrade (from 3-game to 11-game; from general admission to reserved, etc) or add on something extra that will ultimately help the club.

Of course I'm going to buy a membership but it just cheesed me off. Rant over; big year for Nathan Jones in 2011.

I'm always distracted... that's why I set up membership for auto-payment each year; and they still sms or email you to give you the chance to opt out if necessary.

First time EVER the Mfc has more than 20000 members before Xmas!! Bodes well.you might have to smell the blues but you'll be able to see us coming !! 40knwould have to be the goal in 2011. But we'll probably just fall short at 39666 ;)

Well done the Footy club and well done us ! Go Dees

We should remind ourselves that buying from the Demon Shop is just as good as buying a membership.

Brunton Ave, under the G.

A really awful place for retail but there you go.

It is terrible isn't it. Even Schwab commented on it at a particularly dreary members info night, i think it was before season 09 when he told us all how much poo we were in at the time

Thanks for the correction. Interesting that the stars on the back of the stock from China are the wrong colour (-orange). The new stock in March will apparently have the correct colour (yellow or gold). Minor hiccup IMO. The staff are disappointed, but that's China I guess (or communication error). Still, I purchased my young son's first jumper (no.31 on the back). Still looks great.

Staff are very helpful and considerate. They've been flat out. Getting to the store - park elsewhere and walk there is the best option.

It's a real shame the Demon Shop isn't at the Melbourne Town Hall, Brunton Ave is just dead set dangerous to stop on during weekdays.

I hope at some stage the shop is moved...

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
