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

@Demonstoneare you preparing some brain teaser puzzles to amuse us during the bye?

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.

Only if his birthday is on a leap year!

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.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
