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.

How about supporting the club?? Access to finals tickets?? There's plenty of reasons.

If you don't have a membership  by now chances you   are not that keen. That is all I am saying. After 50k you are appealing to supporters who are not that commited like us die hards. Get it?

Well we had 53k a couple of years ago so surely theres still some who would be keen. Are you saying we won't sign up any new members from now on?

No I am saying on the upside of 50 it gets tougher especially in a year like 2021 and now the  potential for no Vic games.

48784 making hard work of getting to 50k.

So, that was in May still. Per my earlier post, we passed 50k during May in the record year, so we're maybe still a little behind but let's see what happens on the last day in May on Monday after Friday night! Final membership numbers in the record year were as reported by the AFL in August so there's some time yet and let's see what a few more wins, and an increasing certainty of 'going deep into September' do ?

Anyone else had trouble from overseas purchasing membership through ticketek? Am getting really bored with the non working links, was about to drop a bundle of cash on upgrades that I will never use as well.

Can I ask why you are buying a membership now when you are not in Australia?

Supporting the club - I have been a paid up member (plus family memberships) for 28 of the last 30 years, I have continued being a member even though in the last 15 years I have only had the chance to attend 3 games. I wish to make sure that I can attend the Grand Final if we make it. I was unable to garner any help from the ticketek website. Sadly I have let my MCC membership lapse as well I didn't see myself retiring in Australia, and might realistically use it 10 times in the next 20 years (I should live so long). All though it does sting.

With all due respect old dee, a lack of commitment is not the only thing that may be what’s stopping a person from signing up for membership. There may be a lack, but of something other than commitment.

The website is shizen and it's Ticketmasters fault, not the club's. Best bet is to call (if you can) next best option would be an email but I emailed an enquiry about purchasing a GF guarantee for my son a few weeks back and had no response so just called up and got it sorted over the phone

Thanks, yes phone I guess. Was Ticketek the same crew that did tickets for the Metro

OK given the slower rate of the membership pipeline this year that means that we have almost certainly clicked over 50,000 paid up members. That is a great result given the conditions in Victoria, still we need to beat our 2018 total given our Fab start to 2021, no excuses.!!!!!!!!!!

G o Dee’s...!!!!????

Wow thanks GOTO by tomorrow night when we run out onto Giants Stadium there is the probability we will have passed 50,000 members for the second time in history.

Perty last week predicted we would break our membership record this year ( have until July31 ) and again  he appears to read the tea leaves well.

It has not been easy in 2021 as Covid conditions in ticketing and public acceptance have cut deep IMO on our Melb home crowds by about 20% I estimate.

This is despite a 66 year record of 9 wins in a row and unlevelled hopes of the solidarity and substance of our football in the first half of 2021.

This does not appear to be a false dawn for this year next year or maybe 4/5 years as I can never ever remember talk of 6,7,8 or even 9 players in discussions about All Australian team recognition.

And the oldest is Maxy with a host of mid and young 20 year olds genuinely reaching for that AA star.

Naturally  with a coaching setup in 2021 featuring Choco Ooze Stafford and Chappy with Goody  in his fifth season overseeing it all this talent plus the role players and developing stars I have got to say it's no wonder a very fine team ethos has developed which gives us goals per game along with the elite pressure we bring each round.

The fitness levels created by Burgo must not be underestimated also as we genuinely look fresher than our opponents in the second half of games.

I think that there will be a few Demon fans left ruing not signing up and risking not being there when it matters in September for something that us old Baby  Boomers can only remember part of some of the days of our Glory years (1955 to 1964) .

Dont miss out Dees fans it won't be easy to snatch a ticket We don't even know whether the G will be at full capacity on those September days!!

I have my GF guarantee membership but taking nothing for granted as our journey no matter what happens in the next 120 days looks far more promising than getting overseas for my next big trip for at least 2/3 years.

I am tearing up already and can hardly see my "I phone" just thinking of what might be in store for the mighty Dees in 2021 and the future.

Its going to be either a Grand Old Flag still or even better a brand new bloody beautiful Grand New Flag to tear up 57 or more years of pent up emotion in buckets in these ever challenging Covid times.

Please don't you miss out !!!

Oh and instead of storing up bulk on toilet paper a far more necessary item might for the next half decade be boxes and boxes of tissues for the inevitable reaction each success will undoubtedly bring!

Great result! Just a pity our success is coming in Covid a affected year(s). No immigration means no new supporters jumping on the bandwagon. Also means lower membership numbers too and ground attendances. All affect the bottom line when we should be booming.

But, let's hope this winning streak goes on for many years!

There us no doubt that Covid has knocked off between 5/8,000 members and consequently a similar amount from our match day attendances.

ITS NOT TOO LATE TO GET TO THE "G" WHEN CROWDS GO BACK.

Most of these absentees will want Finals  tickets in September to attend and hopefully 100% safe Covid Plan will be in operation.

We will ( as Perty said last week) break our all time record this year of 52,000 odd before July 31 close of totals.

Are you or your friends still among the absentees or are you still a doubting Thomas??

Act while the iron is hot!!

    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
