$2.7 million worth of merch in a four-week period, and that’s BEFORE the grand final win! That’s nuts!!!

 

You don't get a reputation for being private school going, Bulla skiing, Range Rover driving, grange drinking, Brie scarfing snobs without a bit of cash to back it up.

Demons fans might be smaller in number but when we really get going the money is there no doubt.

Sat in my Road to the GF T-shirt to watch the game. Unbelievable statistic selling 10,000 units.

Well done to the club's marketing team to mobilise that.

I note one of the memorablia framed items of 1000 prints at $695 sold out in 24 hours and a new edition now offered.

Its all just a donation to the club to secure the future really . Fantastic position. So pleased for the clubs Mgt and Board to now be free to plan and deliver ongoing improvements and the club's future will now never be in doubt.

The players deserve this. Listen to Ed Langdons  fascinating interview on Gus and Gawy and you appreciate how hard it is for the players and staff trekking out to Casey at times.

I have to say that the myth of being a small club is so wrong. We have 25,000 MCC members who barrack for Melbourne and don’t buy the dual membership. Add that to the 53,000 members we had signed up this year, in a season we all knew would be highly interrupted by [censored] Covid, and you’re looking at close to 80,000 members. 
I think we are every chance to smash 70,000 members next season if all goes to plan with Covid and restrictions lifting. 
 

But also yes, many Melbourne supporters are cashed up and waited their whole lives to blow cash on useless premiership junk.

I hope you’re not referring to those gorgeous Teddy Bears? If so, you spelled ‘Priceless Premiership Memorabilia’ wrong.

I think it's the raw number of supporters that people point at when they say Melbourne is a small club. Our conversion rate of supporters to members is huge, but again it costs money to be a member. It costs even more to be an MCC member or AFL member, and that's the group where all this merchandise is coming from I reckon (or a lot of it anyway).

Being in WA a lot of neutrals over here brought Melbourne merchandise over the last 2 weeks. Eagle supporting mates reckon the Demons are now their second choice side.

I think the Club did well to win over the people of Perth.  I had an eagles supporting friend who was living in Melb, but decided to return to WA (his home state) due to the pandemic.  I gave him my members barcode for the GF on the condition he go for the dees that night.  I saw him in a photo on Facebook with a demons cap on.  If the shoe was on the other foot I would not be seen dead in Eagles or Dockers gear 😆.

gotta remember it was a drought breaking flag. Teams doing that are easy to love. Think the swans a few years back, the doggies in 2016. I was emotionally invested in each one for those sides . You can only really garner that free support once.

Soon, when we’re a multi flag winning power club with 75k members,  no one but us will want to wear our gear and we can then celebrate being hated!

It has always been my dream to barrack for a hated club, that everyone says “I’ve had enough of watching them win” about.

And yet you'll admit to using Facebook.

I know which is the bigger crime.

Exactly what we need in this age where COVID is hurting club’s profitability

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
