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.


Happily fit in the 40-50 bracket except I dont ski or own a Langerover.

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.

Only if his birthday is on a leap year!

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. 🧐

Haha. Nearly fell out of my chair with your age but I totally misread your comment.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
