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.

The people who signed up in March and April are legends. Well done people.

 

Every member is solid gold for the survival of the club. (appreciate that many are losing their jobs and can't afford to continue)

Very proud of our supporters.

So at this stage we are 10k members down on this time last year.

I know we couldnt have predicted it, but last year was the worst season possible to have a shocker.

Lucky to be where we are tbh

I know we could never in a million years have predicted this happening but we quite literally couldn't afford last year happening the way it did. Make finals and we have 50k members before January. Some here treated last year as an aberration. It may have been. But good clubs just don't let it happen. And now we are feeling it.

That, and to play our only game so far EXACTLY the same way we did all last year.... Bomb long to nobody.

Extremely small sample size, but the only evidence we have is that MFC havent learned a thing.

Like i said, we are lucky to have only suffered a 10k drop in membership.

The drop off is because there are about 30000 rusted on members, the rest wait for results and then get on the bandwagon, if it is rolling forward

In relation to Gawny's letter, the player phone calls to Members, the Club correspondence and now, player-selected free music preferences online, the Club is doing well with regard to the 'rusted-on' Members. Many people are 'chuffed' that they bothered and did so at the personal level. My wife's adoration of Nev has now reached fever-pitch, for example. (He was just her favourite player once.)

I had real trouble trying on line a couple of weeks ago so in hope I phoned the club and got through to membership: so they are there just waiting to hear from you (and you and you and you also)!

Any updates to the tally? I recently purchased four extra armchair memberships in an attempt to assist the club. The reasons are obvious as to why we’ve dropped so far from last year but seeing just how much, it’s still hard to swallow. 

there isn't now even any membership link on the mfc home page

It varies from day to day on the main page or not, but it is always at the menu to the top right next to the query icon, under the Jaguar symbol.  Since the AFL run the web page, it is the same for all clubs...pathetic!

Anyhow we have had another 220 people sign up this week, which brings the total to 38,985

When is the cutoff this year? I'm thinking of buying an additional membership to try and get us up to 40k

31 July has been the traditional cut off point for recording the memberships for all the clubs, but each club will then report higher numbers in their annual report i.e. generally up to end Ocotober. 

So in the table above you can see both numbers that we have kept track of over the years....

It’s a good question. After our disastrous 2019 season I know quite a few disgruntled supporters who were waiting to see how we went early on before re-signing. Fair to say we didn’t set the world on fire and it’s reflected in our membership numbers. Hopefully we can win a few more games and get some more supporters to jump on the wagon.

I emailed the club and i recieved an automated msg back stating someone from the club will be in contact in 3-5 working days.

Are interstate members still guaranteed a ticket to 1 interstate game e.g game against the Crows on the 5th of August?

If our loss to the Swans costs us a place in the finals ( and it likely will ) then I reckon our 2021 membership could take a nasty whack!

Footy back in Victoria and the ability to attend might mitigate this to some extent but , that is a big unknown at this stage

Possible disaster warning!!

    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
