Two months ago, I emailed the Melbourne Demon's membership office, and told them my last membership payment wouldn't be on time. I had just moved back in with my parents after finishing college, and haven't found work yet, then my dad was in a work accident that resulted in him being in the hospital for nearly three weeks.


Around that same time, I wrote a blog post for a friend about what it's like being an AFL fan in the states. I wrote about how I came to love the Demons, and how great the club has been to me. The post got circulated around the internet and eventually found its way to the Demons media team.


I'd had interactions with the club on a few other times and have always been amazed at how much they care about their members and how they go the extra mile to help their members. Today, I received this package in the mail. It has a hat, a letter from one of the staff and an autographed card. As far as I can tell it's signed by Nathan Jones, Chris Dawes, Jack Trengove, Shannon Byrnes, Mitch Clark, Jordie McKenzie, Colin Garland, Jack Grimes. There's a signature in the bottom left corner that i'm not sure whose signature that is.


I'm completely blown away by how much the Demons care about their members. I just had to share with you guys since I don't know many AFL fans over here.

They usually include their number in their autograph... does the one you can't decipher have a number? (if not it might be the boot-studder or the bugler).

At least they did not send him a blazer !

They would have 40+ that no one wants!

Haha I like to think it's the Boot-studder who just snuck his way in there.

Thanks for sharing

This is one of the reasons I love this club (also thinking of what Watts and Jones did)

Well done MFC now start winning some games.

Just had a call from Russell Robertson thanking me for supporting the Future Fund. Top Bloke.

We both agreed this is the last chance. The club as a whole must make the right decisions.

There is no excuses, they simply must be correct.

He is stoked PJ and Roosy are on board.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
