I am curious as to the age makeup of Demonlanders.  I suspect that, like our supporter base, it will skew towards the middle/top end.

Voters names will not be made public, so don't be shy!

    I'm guessing DL will be more skewed than our supporter base as I doubt anyone under 40 reads/posts on DL - to their loss.

    They are more likely to be on a fb or bf fan forum, if on a fan forum at all.

    Well, not many have responded yet, but already 40% are under 40.

    Might as well because nobody will be able to tell which vote is yours.

    I set it up that way deliberately so no need to be coy.  :D

    Under 40 may not age well, no pun intended - my first instinct was to say under 30.  The latter being the age group that grew up in a world with 'social media' like fb etc.

    When I was of the age less than 40.

    I did ski, regularly, and never owned a range but I have had two BMW 3,s

    that was some time ago.  So I. Still might fit the profile

    There's nothing in the bank but I might be able to conjure up something if I make an effort.  No promises.  

    EDIT:  I've just drafted a couple of new ones.  Stand by for the bye!  😉

    Interestingly i just realized the other day that i am actually very close to my 10 year anniversary on Demonland, which is pretty incredible, means i've spent most of my adult life on here! 

    Werridee couldn't possibly be older than 18, love their work though.

    Nobody has volunteered for the "81 and older" category so far. 

    I can only assume that old dee hasn't logged on yet.  :cool:

    I lied just a little. But I figured I deserved some time off for 2012-14.

    Also, my wife is in the age group I selected, and I definitely 'belong to' her. So, in an Obi Wan kind of way, it is true. From a certain point of view.

    The age I feel, or actual? Also, how many years should I add for the 55 years of grief endured before 2021?
     

    Oops, gave it away. D’OH!!!

    The best thing fitting into the 71-80 bracket is that I have seen and been to 7 premierships inc last year as the only "seen". I consider myself f-ing lucky compared to a lot of Dee"s supporters. Fit as I am (thanks to the good folk at the Alfred/Sandy) I hope to see quite a few more.

    Go Dee's.

    Quite obviously you are not a “real” MFC man (and certainly not MCC) if you cannot even spell Rangerover. 🧐

    Been a long long time since I was skiing Mal pre 2000 and haven’t been 40 for a while as well. Still, when I look down my feet are above the ground.   Will be watching tonight the fire going full time, it’s cold down here! Cheers

    Have to stay home as well Rob. Open wounds on face after removal of 6 melanoma's. Pain killers and vodka/red bull assisting a pleasant evening. My skiing finished around then (2000) as well.

    Can I ask what the cause/s of this curiosity is?

    Ed: just curious.

    Just wondering, Steve.  I assumed we didn't have a lot of young posters as most of us appear to be grizzled, rusted-on longtime Demon tragics.  The poll numbers to date would support that assumption with fewer than 10% being under 30.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
