  • 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.

My son got the new long sleeve clash jumper at half time and the number 11 went straight on. Number 5 on his other jumper though 😉

Bought two young demon memberships today for my nephews (via online). Haven’t received any emails and there was no section to put their names or ages in. Is that normal? 

That seems strange, did you buy them direct through the MFC website (setting up new user accounts) or was it through your existing online membership account? I bought one for my mother in law a couple of weeks back and set up a new online account for her which is where I put her name etc and also received a confirmation email (but it may not have been straight away).

Via my existing account… might call the club!!

Last night should have been 2pm-ish on a Saturday. Imagine the membership signups at the ground and all the kids buying merchandise!! Huge misread by the AFL.

Our next home game is Friday night so when do the kids get to see the Dees at the MCG? Could affect our membership tally.

Are you serious ? 
There were plenty of kids there on Wed. 
Sat night who wouldn't go out in aSat night to the footy with their kids Let them live!! 

Kids would watch from home any way so May as well go.

There were kids there, but nowhere near as many as usual. So yes, quite serious.

My youngest got a No. 50 clash jumper at the start of last year.  Looking like a good choice at the moment.  BBB - go you good thing!

Thanks for updating the tally George. It's not even on the club website. 

We reached that amount around early July last year and mid June in the previous record year. So we are way ahead at this point. We got an extra 13,000 from this date to the end last year so at this point we are heading for at least the early 60,000's. Where it ends up probably depends a bit on how many people were motivated to join earlier than last year and whether it will start to slow or hopefully the opposite.

60,000'ish will be a very good result. 

I suspect quite a few who would usually wait till after the start of the season to renew already have so we may not get the 13,000 going forward.

Agree. Not good news about your Avatar but at least it's 8 weeks and not the season. He's a big loss. Plenty of players who I was wondering would get a game are getting a chance already. There's some excellent depth on the list at the moment.

Mentioned on Gus and Gawny that the club is giving away a free 2nd membership for those who purchase a 3 game membership, if you use the Gus and Gawny code. That's one way of bolstering the membership tally.

I did hear that and had a good Lol, 2 members for the price of 1.

That is great value as 3-game memberships had similar member rights for finals tickets, except the GF, in 2018.  If our finals are at the G they are almost guaranteed to get a ticket to those games.

I'm almost tempted to sign up a few friends just in case I need extra finals tickets.

Is the code simply 'Gus and Gawny'?

Other clubs have been doing it, Bulldogs also this week giving 9 game memberships for the price of 3 game membership.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
