Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

They're expecting 90,000 again.

We got reserved seats in the MCC on Level 4. But I reckon I'll go early to get a Level 1 seat.

I still think regular H&A attendees should get preference to finals seating, instead of all the bandwagoners...

Don't really disagree but would like to give an alternative view:

Re MFC members:  There are many reasons why people can't get to games regularly.  Some stories that touched me in the last week are:   @Deebymistake who is a member and her story is in the 'First Finals' thread.  She can now go to the Semi ?. Then @Neitz the Greatwho lives in Brisbane and buys an Armchair membership just to support the club.  Brought his Dad down for the Elim.  Finally, the delightful story and video of young Sam (son of @Demon Spofforth) who lives in Queensland.  I'm sure there are many, many others who can't get to games but still support the club as best they can. 

Are you referring more to MCC members who have suddenly come out of the woodwork in droves?  A friend expressed sympathy for them as they 'pay all that money for membership' then have to queue up or can't get a seat.  I couldn't share the sympathy as they are go to MCG Away games for free, are able to get finals tickets for free or a nominal fee.  Whereas paid up MFC members have to buy them at AFL prices.  Even paying the $200+ per MFC membership for the Grand Final Guarentee only gives the right to buy a ticket; they still have to pay $xxx to buy the ticket.  So after spending something like $400-$500 for a membership with GFG they still have to pay around $300-500 to go to all finals.  No Guest passes for them either.  Last week in the local Ticketek queue I met a 70+ year old lady whose family had been MFC Trident members for 38 years.  That is some coin!  But she was there in the queue just like everyone else. 

The real bandwagoners for me are those that don't buy an MCC or MFC membership of any sort, don't volunteer, don't donate, don't go to games but come out at finals time.  Have little time for them.

This is a long winded way of saying there are varying degrees of merit for priority purchase of finals tickets.  Not sure game attendance is the best one.  But I don't know what the answer is, either.  Finals ticket purchases will only get worse as our membership increase (Great for the Club Revenue).

I got level 4 right at the back.... Had to get tickets for 8 people.

That sucks mate - I was on my phone from 850 and PC from 855. Got through on PC quicker this time about 910/915. Managed to get 9 tickets M21 row B.

Did you get guest passes or all with AFL memberships? If you got guest passes I think they were only available on level 4 so may be why you were allocated those seats?

I had one Silver membership along 7 Full Gold. I was trying other areas even in batches of 2-3 but kept saying not enough tickets. This was at about 9:10.

Understand that mate and I'm sorry if you're in that category (this is directed at bandwagoners of which there are clearly plenty), but as someone who gives up 4 hours of his weekend every weekend and have done through some very dark times, it pisses me off to think I could miss out on a grand final ticket one day, because some muppet bandwagoner comes along for his or her first footy match for the year.

Totally agree with this. Throwing the club 70 bucks or whatever it costs to become a 3 game member these days is not supporting the club. It's on par with having a magazine subscription. Supporting the club is going to games and cheering on the team. Clearly there are people overseas and interstate who follow the club, but I don't see why the regular attendees should miss out when it matters most.

That's crap no way there weren't at least 2 or 3 seats available in better positions. I must've just lucked out was getting pretty nervous there for a while.

Yep, I'd go a step further mate and adjust the definition of bandwagoner to those without an MFC membership. If you can afford MCC, you afford an extra $80 for MFC, like I do.

I grabbed a ticket earlier today in the Olympic stand. Anyone know of a good standing room area?. I am recovering from a broken shoulder, so will likely stand somewhere quiet. 

Join our throng in M9. Rare for there to be any opposition supporters, partic if the bulk of Hawks people are at he other end of the ground.

Thanks M_9. That is standing room in M9? Would be good to avoid body contact, particularly on the shoulder... and no I’m not Cale Morton.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
