  • 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.

Wow pretty good so far would expect another 1000 or so to sign up tomorrow on game day! 40k does look pretty realistic. Must admit thought we might fall a few k short though. It really is time for the team to start performing more consistently the FD have well and truly played there part!

Here is the 31st of March comparison:

2009 - we had 27,128 members

2010 - we had 27,595 members

2011 - we have 32,386 members (just updated)

That is 5,258 better off than at 31st March 2009.

That is 4,791 better off than the same time last year !

Last season we had a final tally of 33,358 members. If we finish as far in front as what we are currently, that will be somewhere around the 38,149 mark (I understand that the rate of signing members may slow, given many may have signed earlier than last year). But given that last week nearly 4,000 members hadn't signed on from last year, the 40,000 target may still be within reach this year taking into account both new members and churn rate.

Lets put a dollar estimate on this, say the average Membership is $170, if we can maintain this gap it will add approx $815,000 extra membership revenue. If we can hit the 40,000 target revenue from Membership should grow by over 1 million dollars.

Fill be a fantstic effort to hit 40,000. Need some early success to persuade the fence sitters....

Did we set a new membership record today?

With all the focus on our poor on field performance against Hawthorn our membership tally has crept up to 33,359, I thought last years total was 33,358

Bingo.

Congrats MFC.

I think if we re-use this advertisment we'll get to 40,000 members easily:

C'MON DEMONS, YOU GOT ME SCREAMIN'

C'MON DEMONS, YOU GOT ME SCREAMIN'

They just don't make em' like they use too.

HaHa! what an absolute classic. That is so bad and cheesy!

The year of the Mullett. And that music....FFS Haha! :lol:

Budget of $45 and a lunch.

With more than 6000 members to sign up from last year, what would be stopping them from signing up? I wonder how many members signed after the big win against Brisbane last year??

You always have around that figure that don't sign up.

That doesn't answer your question, but it is an historical fact.

Hopefully this game and next weeks games ups the tally a few thousand. Surely a strong performance next week will get the membership rising.

What is your guess SM?

I will go at slightly over 37000!

wouldn't have thought there'd be many more to come, 3rd quarter of round 2 probably closed a couple of thousand wallets

The match this week should open then back up, plus a few more :)

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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

    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,
