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.

As an overseas resident, I can only watch AFL matches with a membership,

you definitely do not need a membership to watch AFL matches

I’ve been a member for 34 years, the last 16 as an interstate member and make at least one trip a year over east to watch a game. I wouldn’t consider myself a fair weather supporter. There just comes a time when enough is enough. 

Been a member 25 years and bought family memberships for the past 15 years when the wife has no interest and never attends and the kids tickets are shuffled between nephews and nieces. After this year, I will definitely downgrade to just a ticket for myself and forget the effective donation of an extra $200-$300 for the other tickets. Similar to @beetle, I feel compelled to contribute in the unlikely event we are ever any good, but the finances can't keep donating as much to rubbish. I might even get back into local footy coaching to ensure I can't ruin my weekends watching them!

I support the club as I do family or friends, so yes, I'll always renew.

Fair weather 'supporters' can [censored] right off.

 

I will support a club that values me as a member.

I don't think it's smart to just follow anything with blind loyalty.

If they are open, listen to members views and take action then they get my money.

If they try to deflect & not take the hard questions at the AGM then they lose me.

Yes of course i will, i love our club. 

I have made some great friends, who are like family to me. We have been members for over 20 years, and like all demon, members/supporters, we are, also gutted seeing our great club fall into a heap this year. 

I heard David Neitz on sen a few weeks ago, and he was saying how the 666 rule has hurt us this year, but then said it can be fixed. Also said we should have a near to full list who will be able to a full pre-season.

So have faith guys we can turn it around.

Though i understand it ive never been the type to particularly  matyr myself to this kind of immovable  position.

Quite frankly i value my time ...and money. Though , as many will/would,  I follow the Dees and could never anotherI really  dont see the enjoyment in suffering. Lots of other things to do and see. Life is short.

Those that  want to put it in terms of bandwagons (  and i dont subscribe. .however ) must surely see unless blind that ours is a old falling apart float from 1964's Moomba parade.  Theres no semblance  of a recognisable tune, the band is way off key, half the instruments are broken and held together with duct tape. The bandleaders wont get into sync and the conductor is busy whispering to the horses pulling this irrelevancy through a lost part of town because his map is old and hasnt been updated.

I would relish that we are brave enough to be brutally honest, clever enough excise that which does not help and grow that which will. That might require very deep and thorough tilling.

If the club doesn't then it will matter little  what I or some others here do as elsewhere 30000 or so might make our views moot.

If you’re currently a member will you renew your membership next season or if you’re not a member would you even consider signing up for next season? Something smells rotten at the club, I don’t know what it is but it was evident after last nights lack of effort/care-factor. If the players can’t be bothered trying, I can’t  be bothered renewing mine and my families memberships next season. 

The biggest disappointment for me is the flow on effect from making a Prelim to finishing second last (Gold Coast don’t count as a real team so really, we’re going to finish last). I think we’ll see a significant drop off in members next season after a record number this year. It’s disappointing but I’m over financially and emotionally supporting this basket case of a club. So who’s going to renew? 

(I was going to add a poll but the option disappears after the page fully loads).

I'm definitely going to renew my membership along with our 3 kids. Might even sign the wife up.

While I can understand the anger and disappointment, which as a member I share too, I genuinely believe we can bounce back next season and be in contention and every membership and supporter attending games will help. I urge fellow supporters to sign up and signup early as a show of support fr the club - dedicated demon is a good auto renew option. Dees!

I will decide after 4-5 games to see how we come out of the blocks.
If it's the same mindless rubbish ..... No.

Auto renew Premium Member for 15 years. If it's more of the same after a month I will cancel my membership. It's a lot of money for no reward. 

I would still attend games but GA tickets only.

To all those who will renew, at least make the club earn it. They need to know that the support base has had enough

At least wait until the AGM to hear what the plans are. Don’t give them free money ? 

Thanks for telling us what to do with our money.

I will renew the 2 memberships in my household.

Just now, Bitter but optimistic said:

Yes I'll renew. I can be OCD about things and figure if I change a habit then disaster will follow.

Anyway I plan to garnishee the maid's meagre illegal under award salary so no harm done.

What did you change for this season?

No such this as a Melbourne fair weather supporter.
They're all long gone.
I too have been a member for 15yrs and seeing a game is a 7hr round trip.
Can make for some very disappointing drives home.
Haven't wasted my time this year.

Well on Demonland we have mostly die hard, rusted on, desensitised and completely deluded supporters here.  So it is to be expected that most Demondlanders who are members will go around for another round of flagellation. It is the 20-30 odd thousand ones who are not on Demonland who will be more likely to bail out.

Who gives you the right to tell anybody what to do

I'll pay you if you will stop the whingeing and whining

Looking forward to you standing up at the AGM, if you are there of course, and stating your case, as if

I have already asked when I can renew and will be doing so at the first opportunity

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
