    Can someone please find the monthly take-in of the Demon shop and compare it to last year.

    Just as important.

    439 to get for our 20,000 prior to Christmas. I assume the office will close for Christmas either on Friday or early next week. The best thing I read the other day is our reserved seat sales are well up.

    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.

    The hype continues to grow, when onfield catches off with our off field acheivements we will become the club that we should be.

    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...

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
