Winning ? is what people want to see MFC. Set high Standards every year. 
 

Certain Clubs are “up there” every season 

We must aspire to be one of them

    Congratulations to us all.


    We love the Melbourne Footy Club, the mighty Demons.  

    28 years as a member now and my heart has somehow survived all the scars along the way.

    Amazing effort in Covid ravaged year however success on the field is always  the catalyst for membership no's.

    Hopefully the 12,000 new members this season are half new and half  resigning from previous years.

    If so it gives confidence for the future to reach day 60,000 next season with hopefully A big new Cup  and Flag to add to our dozen already coveted. 

    Congratulations to every member who has helped the Club achieve this ground breaking target.

    Bloody stoked to read this. The club fully deserves it.

    I am going to be a bit self indulgent here, but I mean every word I write.

    This year has really helped me fall back in love with AFL footy (despite it's unorthodox nature thanks to COVID).

    I remember having someone on this board saying to me in 2012 that I shouldn't take on board the criticism directed at us in the wake of the tanking imbroglio because 'they' just wanted to bring us down now we'd 'gotten our act together'. 

    It goes without saying how far off the mark that comment was. It truly is absolutely amazing to be on board a club that is progressive, organized, innovative and, above all else, winning. Notice that I didn't use the word 'successful'. That's because we aren't... yet. 

    It's been 3 years since I have actively looked at the draw weeks in advance, and especially after every game. It's also been three years since I've purchased Demon merchandise (albeit an indigenous guernsey through the AFL store). I'm also delighted that I renewed my membership to make me a member 11 out of the last 12 years. 

    Thank you MFC from the bottom of my heart.

    Fantastic result! An amazing effort from all of our supporters in yet another year where most of our memberships have been heavily under used thanks to Covid.

    This has been my most enjoyable year as a demons member. 2018 was enjoyable but very up and down (biggest downer being the debacle at optus). We've been reliable and consistent. We've never been reliable and consistent before. 

    Let's hope we can top it off  with a flag but even if we don't this year has been a huge step forward for the club

    The only downside of this season is the never ending anxiety that we won’t be able to watch our team play finals at the MCG. That really would be an absolute heartbreaker for our members who have waited an entire lifetime!

    well done but we're still around 10th on the membership lists and around 7th of the ten Melbourne based clubs.

    It will be a hard task to climb the ladder.

    Looking at the numbers from Big Footy

    We should easily stay in front of the Saints next year and probably the Dogs who are 5k behind us. The teams within striking distance are Geelong, Hawthorn and to a lesser extent Essendon. Carlton's figure strike me as rubbery so they could be within range.

    North have 45k members which is more than we had in 2020.

    I'd love to see the break down of 3 game memberships and pet memberships throughout every clubs membership numbers. 

    I reckon the true numbers would stack up against the Hawthorns, Carltons and Essendons of this world.

    Hawks are renowned for their pet turtle memberships.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
